From October 1, 2003 to March 1, 2021, the Yogazentrum Akazienhof on Akazienstraße in Berlin Schöneberg was a well established  mainstay. Unfortunately, it had to close, because the long term lease contract expired.

We would like to thank all those who have found their way to our center over the years, many of whom stayed for many years. Without you and your interest in yoga, we would not have been able to sustain this center for so long. We will remain present on this website for a while, until live classes will resume under normal conditions.

To remember the center, there is a very nice little film shot by Ute Aurand.

An article in the Tagesspiegel newspaper local section Schöneberg from March 3, 2021, depicting the history of the yoga center, can be accessed here:

A podcast by Kristin Rübesamen with Renate Ockel:

We are offering the following classes during the lock down. To access, please email the appropriate teacher in order to receive an invitation. The email addresses of the various teachers can be found below.

 

 

 

The Yoga center closed permanently on March 1, 2021.

To those interested we are offering some of our classes online. These will be conducted in real time with the yoga teacher and participants, via a video conference software. This isn’t all that difficult and can be more fun than you thought! In a few steps we will show you how this is done and what you have to watch out for – and then nothing stands in the way of your participation.

This class is not continuing for now, as there is too little interest in online yoga. We hope to rekindle this class once the lock down ends. Unfortunately, Gertrud Frank, the former teacher of this class, passed away in 2020. She taught this class over the center’s entire existence with great success. more >>>

The general image of Yoga is based on very common clichés. Relaxation, the singing of Ohm, meditation and enlightenment while sitting in the lotus position with soft sounds and the smell of incense in the background are the first images that come up in most people when asked about Yoga. When it comes to physical exercises the head balance and lotus as well as the idea of tying your body into knots rounds out the picture. more >>>

As a psychologist I searched for a method to include the body as an equal world of experience into the understanding and changing of psychological processes. I am convinced that intense emotional experiences are imprinted on the body from earliest childhood on, that they strengthen some parts of the body and weaken or even deform others. more >>>
