Magali’s Yoga journey started in 1998, when a friend took her to her first yoga class during a stressful period of exams at high school. After that, she started to practice Yoga regularly.
Later, during her studies in Geography, Sociology and Ethnology in Heidelberg and Munich, she couldn’t let go of it and when she graduated, Magali travelled to India, eager to get to know the country where Yoga originated. There, in a Sivananda ashram in the Himalayas, she did her first Yoga teacher training course.
Back in Munich, she discovered Jivamukti Yoga, in which she found her vocation and undertook Jivamukti teacher training. Since 2007, she has worked in Munich as an 800 hours certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher and became an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher in 2016. In 2014, Magali became co-founder of Dancing Kala Yoga in Luxembourg and Yoga Palais in 2016.
Alongside her Jivamukti Yoga practice, Magali also took an Ashtanga teacher training course with David Swenson and Kids yoga teacher training with Thomas Bannenberg. She has taken part in workshops and retreats all over the world. In tandem with this Yoga path, Magali studied for a PhD in Urbanism at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
Magali sees Yoga as the best way to take care of oneself, to be stronger in every situation. Yoga gives us a feeling of security, because it helps us to be less influenced by the trivial things in life. We can become more independent through practicing Yoga, while the basis for the acceptance of ourselves as we are, with all anxieties and insecurities, is fortified.
There have been many situations in her life, in which she had to make decisions either to grow and face a problem bravely or simply drop it. Yoga has helped her to make appropriate decisions, decisions more connected to herself.
In essence, Yoga gives us the rooting feeling that everything is good as it is. For this, She is grateful to all the teachers that have accompanied her to where she is now. And also to the little person who is probably her most important teacher: her daughter Lou Kali.
