Our Yoga-Teachers
Gabriele Hiller
Gabriele "Yasoda" Hiller was awarded a diploma in Yoga teaching after Sivananda and has in this profession found her fulfillment. Yoga has assisted Gabriele on her life’s path and therefore it is for her an important matter that she can convey her understandings to others, while at the same time profiting from her lessons. Gabriele has now taught for over 15 years and would like to pass on this experience to her students and inspire them with Yoga. She is a 49 year old, single-mother of two. In 1998, she was for 3 months in Southern-India, to deepen her understanding of Yoga and to broaden her horizons. In 2004, Gabriele made a further education in Child-Yoga because she loves children and she believes it is important that children are introduced to Yoga.

Veronika Rössl
Mahashakti means, ‘the great, sacred cosmic force of mother earth’ and comes from the Sanskrit. This name was given to Veronika Rössl on her Yoga-instructors education by the spiritual, Hindu monks – Swamis. Since her early childhood, Veronica has practiced Yoga and at 20 started with her own daily meditation practice.
In her Yoga sessions Veronika teaches a mix of classic Hatha-Yoga with influences from Sivananda, Iyengar and Ashtanga. She configures the Asanas fluently, with the focus on breathing. Veronika feels strongly connected with the, ‘Advaita Vedanta’ philosophy and incorporates this in her teaching.
She uses Yoga as a guide, a way to enjoy life and as her ‘life-tonic’ for body, mind and soul.
Veronika’s sessions are humourous, light-hearted and high spirited, they are infectious! When not providing Yoga sessions in Kranzbach, Veronika Rössl runs a MahaShakti Yoga studio in Munich, which opened in 2004 and consults on holistic life training.
