ABOUT US
The Yoga School Berlin is a place for
life and learning for everyone - utterly free from esoterically and
spiritually dubious influences or lax fitness culture.
What makes the Yoga School Berlin so distinctive is the fusion of traditional Ashtanga Yoga and current physiotherapeutic knowledge. With our grasp of human anatomy we manage to strike a harmonious balance between the traditional sequences of positions and breathing techniques on the one hand and current awareness of body and mind on the other, in such a way that can be incorporated perfectly into our modern style of living.
Use the Yoga School Berlin to discover your potential and
- raise your level of fitness and get yourself into shape
- develop stability, strength and flexibility
- build up specific muscle areas and improve your posture
- learn to be more aware of your body and develop a positive approach to yourself
and the world around you.
The Yoga School Berlin is led by Susen Pijur and André Pijur who have been teaching together since the beginning of 2006. Before the Yoga School Berlin they set up Ashtanga Yoga Kreuzberg.

Susen Pijur
Susen discovered her love of Ashtanga Yoga during her long stay in Australia and it has remained with her ever since. To continue her training exactly where Astanga Yoga stems from, she travelled to India to study under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. In the city of Mysore she received a very traditional method of training in Ashtanga from the adjustment master, Sheshadrie. Since then she has made frequent journeys to India to concentrate fully on the tradition of yoga. At the age of six, Susen began intensive dance training and later went on to teach her own groups. In her method of teaching, Susen places the emphasis on combining the various aspects of strength, stamina, flexibility and balance which, when brought in harmony with one another, lead to inner peace.
André Pijur
André has successfully completed a three year training programme to become an officially recognized physiotherapist. His takes a holistic view to the body and combines medical aspects with those of tradition. André discovered Ashtanga Yoga through his wife, Susen, and quickly came to recognize its benefits for the body and mind which he now applies in his work as a physiotherapist. He combines these two elements in his method of teaching.
Anne Habedank
Driven by the desire to do more for herself and her body, Anne came to learn of Ashtanga Yoga after the birth of her two children. Since then she practices yoga on a regular basis and it now forms an unshakable part of her life. Susen and André are her long-term teachers. She completed a teacher training course under David Swenson and regularly takes part in workshops. "Yoga has not only changed my body, it has changed me as well. The practice has helped me to get to know myself better and is a superb counterbalance to life with small children which can be quite hard going at times."
