About Us
 
  
Hallo. Namaste.
My name is Sandy

I am happy to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born on April 17th, 1987 in Dormagen, Germany. Before I shed more light on my life, first the following for your understanding: My dear grandpa Mohamed is Egyptian and married my grandma Roswitha in Cologne over 60 years ago.

The marriage produced my dear Mama Mona who, like me, is half German and half Egyptian and grew up in Germany. After graduating from high school, my mother went to Cairo and met my father there. And whoops... a few years later after the birth of my big brother, I saw the light of day in this beautiful world.

I grew up in Cairo, in bright Egypt. I learned German and Arabic as my mother tongue and attended the German school in Cairo. My real enthusiasm during school was my beloved floor exercise, which I happily practiced for hours every day. So I wanted to go to the circus and do gymnastics, travel the world, but my parents probably thought I would be better off at school. After the long years at school and the subsequent Abitur, I moved to Germany. There I am Psychology, Religious Studies and Philosophy in Bonn.
After studying, which was very dogmatic for me, I felt the urge to delve further into the depths of human existence. I wanted closer to the core, longed for time to myself. I wanted to dive deeper to the roots, deeper into the mystery of man, deeper into life and to the source. This is how I began to deepen and expand my irregular yoga practices. I meditated more and more, played in a "drum circle", sang mantras, read a lot of spiritual and yoga-specific literature during this time and empirically tested a wide variety of yoga styles.

I thought I was more and more "at home", perhaps only on the way there, but I listened to my soul and trusted its gentle guidance. The poignant events and moving encounters of my eventful life between two continents and what felt like 1000 worlds in them, the longing for the deeply felt, experienced divine and the unobtrusively loud calls of my heart to accompany my fellow human beings led me even in apparently very dark moments of my earthly existence more and more to myself.

Finally I found myself in Seefeld, in beautiful Upper Bavaria. Here I attended the German healing school for three years. I immersed myself intensively in the topics that moved my being. Embedded in the splendor of the surrounding nature and driven by the sounds of my vision, I learned everything there to do with human energetics. I learned light, color frequency - and general healing techniques, studied herbal and mineral science as a self-taught student and I expanded my academic medical knowledge acquired at the university with alternative healing methods and approaches. I learned Dorn Therapy in combination with different massage techniques and work therapeutically independently as well as in a practice in Wessling, district of Starnberg.

Working with people inspired and enriched me a lot. I retrospectively consider the time with the many patients to be more instructive (in many ways) than the often sobering and dogmatic time at university Body Mind and Soul.
Yoga was part of my daily routine and part of my holistic concept. Inwardly, the decision had matured to do the yoga teacher training in India.

After graduating as a human energetics specialist, I worked enthusiastically in this field in Germany, Switzerland and Egypt. However, my vision was my constant companion during all the time here on earth. SUKUN. Like a child, it had grown in my spirit over the years and served me as a strong wingbeat even in the deeper valleys of my wanderings.

I met my future husband Emanuel during medical school, we got married and flew to India to finally successfully complete the training to become a yoga teacher. In addition to my therapeutic work, I was involved in an orphanage in Cairo from 2015 and was always allowed to laugh and be amazed. How much we can learn from the wisdom of children. I share my most beautiful realization with you: deep in our hearts we will remain children forever. But you probably already knew that. My focus is on Sukun, the cradle of my childhood. My heart lives in Sukun, an authentic meeting place where I can be myself.
  A place that is a part of me and always will be, a place where you can be whatever you are. A place where your vision can grow...

I myself give seminars and retreats and have been truly blessed to be allowed  to meet people in their deepest depths in countless individual sessions over the past 17 years.

We sincerely look forward to seeing you!

I greet the divine in you and what else is there as well, very warmly.

My name is Emmanuel. Sit down next to me on the floor, it's nice and warm here and there's an inviting Egyptian tea. Listen to my words, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I remain unobtrusive on the surface and yet you can see me a little if you like.

I was born on November 13th, 1984 in beautiful Munich into a loving family. I have three wonderful sisters from a pair of wonderful parents. I spent my childhood in rural Munich and Straubing (Lower Bavaria). I was very energetic and enjoyed romping about in the fields and forests of Bavarian nature, was an enthusiastic tree climber and hobby treasure hunter at the Peters Friedhof in Straubing, where we lived when I was a child. Yes, who can say that they have lived in a cemetery?

My mother was constantly mending holes in my pants and washing my dirt-soaked pants. When I wasn't romping around outside, I was sitting in school and looking longingly out the window towards the playground. This went on until I finally held my high school diploma in my hands. From now on I thought I was free and was able to make some of my own learning experiences in life. I preferred a "voluntary social year" with the Malteser auxiliary service to the basic military service in the Bundeswehr and completed the training as a paramedic. I studied literary translation at the Dolmetscher Institute (SDI Munich), founded a multimedia company, studied medicine for a few semesters in Munich and successfully passed my state examination for the alternative practitioner of psychotherapy in Munich.

All my life I was an idealist, maybe just a dreamer and felt I had to change the world. In addition to my Christian upbringing, my often very long journeys, which I was allowed to undertake as a teenager, contributed greatly to this. In the world I encountered a completely different picture of the "ideal world" that I saw deep inside me. There was so much to do. So much suffering, hate and injustice in the world. Who should change these circumstances if not I?

It took many years until I finally unmasked the position of having to change the world as a "mirage" and was able to give it up. However, it was a long way to get there. I was able to learn not to take myself too seriously, to stay true to myself and that how happy you are depends on your point of view, not on the circumstances. Life only knows detours, no dead ends, that's what life itself taught me. In the most banal and inconspicuous places and situations, the most immeasurable treasures often waited unexpectedly. For example yoga!

It came into my life suddenly and unexpectedly. But more on that in a moment. The subject of water became more and more relevant to me over the years. During my travels, I experienced first-hand the importance of clean water and was able to deepen my knowledge of water more and more. In water lectures I gave public lectures on the element of water and I still do today. My great devotion to music, poetry and art always accompanies me, even if everyday life is sometimes noisy; Here in art, deep in life, my soul comes to breathe, next to yoga. I like to refer to the art as pranajama and asanas for the soul. After all, we are all artists in the stage play Life, who are allowed to draw deeply from the immeasurable flow of life.

I like to be in my sound and video studio in Sukun and record music and meditations, produce, discard, laugh, cry, smile, do somersaults and live in the source of inspiration. But how did I actually get into yoga? I met Sandy! My love for her and her love for yoga mated and sparked my deep interest in yoga. I immediately sensed and experienced the positive, transformative effect and became more and more enthusiastic about the literature and philosophy behind it. Yoga was present every day and I also learned to be gentler with myself. I was also allowed to slowly discover and learn to love the country of Egypt, the people and culture.

I wish you the same. After our wedding in Cairo, we finally flew to India to do the yoga teacher training. A great, transformative experience. The retreats in Sukun are a matter close to my heart. You can't describe this oasis of peace any more than wind and water, you just have to feel it yourself. I thank you for the mystery of life and I thank you for taking your time and listening to me a little. I am very happy for you! I am very happy to meet you in this paradise

In recent years I have also been blessed to be  able to grow more and more into the role of a teacher and seminar leader. I regularly give seminars on various topics with my dear wife Sandy.

There is only one silence. Deep in you.
To you very soon!
