Niklas Noack

From a young age Niklas showed a great interest in movement, music and philosophy. In youth, he was cruising around the Black Forest participating in various sport activities, such as climbing, skiing, and handball. As a drummer and pianist, he entertained friends and family. Through literature, he dived deep into many different philosophies.

After his studies of medicine in Berlin he now works as a plastic and aesthetic surgeon. Jivamukti Yoga connects all of his many interests in one single yoga class and made him become an enthusiastic yogi from the very beginning. His intention is to share his experience with others in a way to inspire them to find out what they really want from life and who they really are.

Conor Byrnes

Conor was raised in the United States and served two years in Senegal for as a member of the United States Peace Corps before moving to Berlin. Conor’s love for yoga began at the age of 18 and has since been his great joy and guide. His teachers have instilled in him a deep belief in the transformative power of asana and meditation, as well as the expansion of compassion and insight through embodied experience.

Conor received his Master’s degree in neuropsychology in 2022 from Humboldt Universität, Berlin. He aims to integrate current scientific understanding with classical spiritual wisdom in order to help foster a collective sense of peace and freedom from sorrow. Conor has had the good fortune to study with Jivamukti founders Sharon Gannon and David, and completed his apprenticeship under the guidance of Anja Kühnel. He has been an Advanced Certified teacher since 2021 and cherishes the opportunity to share such an integrative and powerful form of yoga with such a rich and loving community

Magali Lehners

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.
