We will host this 2-week morning challenge online via zoom. You receive the link with the meeting ID shortly before the start of the morning-challenge.
In this 2-week Morning Challenge we invite you to harness the abundant energy of the summertime and direct it into a phase of transformation, both within your inner and outer self. With a focus on integrating balance in the body, breath and mind.
This morning challenge is open to everyone, regardless of their level of experience.
During the first week, the focus will be on balancing the physical body as a basis for experiencing subtle levels of perception, sthira-sukham-āsanam. The week will prepare you for a journey through standing poses, hip openers, back bending, arm balances/inversions with dynamic kriya accompanied by precise alignment principles. As complementary for a well-balanced āsanam, series of anatomy lectures will be included to have more awareness about alignments principles.
In the second week, you continue refining the āsana practice by balancing them with proper breathing methods. In particular we will look at traditional prāṇāyāma techniques from Riṣhi culture ashtanga yoga taught by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri. You will learn to improve your breathing capacity in yoga practice as well as in your daily life.
Combining all these techniques will help you balance the mind. Different sounds are associated with different parts of the physical and subtle body. We will look to discover these subtle vibrations by chanting seed mantras and exploring hand mudras, ultimately enhancing and transforming both the āsana and pranayama practice.

Krishna Kumar Krishnan, Yogamunīśvaradāsa grew up in a yogic family from South India and is practising yoga since the age of 7 in the Tamil Saiva Siddhāntic tradition. Through the experience of western lifestyle, he realized the importance of yoga and mindfulness training for a balanced, healthy and sustainable life in a modern world and started exploring the diversity of yogic philosophy as a holistic approach of life. He combines the essence of Siddha Yoga knowledge from his father with Kuṇḍalinī Yoga with mindfulness, awareness and meditation techniques. Additionally, he became a registered member of the Berufsverband der Yogalehrenden Deutschland (BDY) and the European Yoga Union (EYU) under the guidance of yogācārya Ananda Leone. Through his involvement in yoga, he has realized that different yoga practices suit different people and began his exploration with acceptance, curiosity and joy. He is known for his sense of humour and dynamic teaching style with the ability to present the ancient wisdom of Saiva Siddhānta in a fresh and accessible manner.
Gabriel Ching was born in Argentina, where he graduated with a degree in public relations. His passion for electronic music led him to live in different cities such as London, Madrid and Berlin where for several years he dedicated himself to producing music and DJ-ing. Along the way, he discovered in the practice of yoga a way to increase his ability to perceive the world and gain clarity. He is a 1000-hours certified yoga teacher of BDY/EYU, Berufsverband der Yogalehrenden Deutschland (BDY) and the European Yoga Union (EYU). During his teacher training, he met Krishna where they became inseparable friends and fellow adventurers. He also teaches „Praxis & Didaktik“ in the Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Academy Berlin, supporting new students to grow in their role as yoga teachers. Anatomy and yoga philosophy are the two main pillars of yoga that he transmits to his students. His classes are an interplay of the alignment precision of Iyengar yoga, the fire of ashtanga yoga and the dynamic sequences of vinyasa yoga. For him, yoga is neither dogma nor religion nor a wellness program, but a collection of methods that yogis have been practising for centuries, which enable us to develop balance in our body, thoughts and emotions – both on the mat and in everyday life.
