Julia Krusche
My journey to yoga began in 2004.
The experience of inner stillness and the inward focus deeply touched me, giving me support, clarity, and a sense of arrival. With Ashtanga Yoga, it was love at first breath. This multifaceted practice—dynamic, meditative, and yet still—continues to accompany me to this day. I teach it both in its traditional form and in individual, contemporary adaptations.
I have studied with international teachers, including Monica Gauci and Gregor Maehle, François F. Friedman, Nancy Gilgoff (Primary and Intermediate Clinic 2012), Andrea Lutz (Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training 200h, 2011), Manju Jois and Doug Keller.
I recently completed two modules (100h) of the 200h Teacher Training with Monica Gauci:
Anatomy & Adjustment and Teaching Skills – An Act of Giving.
I am currently deepening my work in the field of yoga and women's health
and work closely with the organization Birthlight UK and its director Kristeen Ruffell.
The main focus of my work is supporting women in different phases of life, especially during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. I am a certified prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher as well as a baby and children's yoga teacher.
My work supports women in developing stability, confidence and body awareness, and in finding a practice that sustains them during this sensitive and powerful phase of life.
I opened my studio in 2013 as `Yoga School Ashtanga YOGAHOME`.
My classes have once been described as being characterized by warmth and constructiveness, with a focus on yoga and meeting each individual person where they are needed.
Before becoming a yoga teacher, I worked as a qualified social worker in youth education and migration services. This experience in dealing with people and their life realities continues to shape my work today.
My heart beats for guidance, development, self-awareness and self-determination.
I have been teaching continuously for many years in courses, training programs and educational periods, and I understand my own path as an ongoing process of learning and deepening my knowledge.
What sustains my work is the encounter with people themselves – the time spent together on the mat, observing development and creating spaces where peace, strength and experience become possible.
Lisa Wahl
Lis is a yoga teacher, certified Fluentbody facilitator, and passionate dancer and performer.
In her practice, she explores movement on a physical and emotional level. She is convinced that in an often fast-paced and overwhelming world, mindful movement allows us to reconnect with our bodies – and thereby navigate life with greater clarity, presence, and compassion.
Her journey began with a deep curiosity for movement, which led her to her first 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Kailash Tribal School for Yoga & Holistic Healing in 2017. Her teaching is inspired by teachers such as Surinder Singh, Manju Jois, and Ronald Steiner, as well as by her experiences at the Sivananda Centre in Neyyar Dam (India), in Jivamukti Yoga, Ashtanga, and Element Yoga, where she completed additional online training.
In recent years, her path has led her back to her roots in dance. She participated in dance programs at the studios motion*s and SENECA INTENSIV and is currently training for certification in holistic dance and contact improvisation with Sabine Parzer.
As a certified Fluentbody facilitator, Lis combines structured and intuitive movement in her classes. She creates spaces where body awareness, expression, and inner connection can grow – and invites her participants to experience movement as a language of self-discovery.
