Antastha-Yoga
„When Sight is restricted, Vision becomes clear!“
Sanjeev Bhanot
The Sanskrit word, antastha, is translated to depth.
When we do Antastha Yoga, we slowly but surely reach and return to the deeper levels inside of us.
We have up to approximately 50.000 thoughts running through our mind daily. By using a blindfold to cover your eyes, we intend to shut out those noisy thoughts and distractions. We carry out the asanas (the word used to describe the exercises) in sync with your breath, making it easier to just focus on yourself and tune out any outside distractions.
Pratyahara – the conscious withdrawl from the senses.
During Antastha Yoga we create consciousness through the movements.By closing our eyes we redirect our awareness into ourselves. Our endocrine system benefits from the asanas, we do. For one, it helps your body to form melatonin, when we use the blindfold. Melatonin is helpful for better sleep. It also strengthens your cells in defending themselves against free radicals and on top of that has an anti-aging effect on your body.
Sanjeev Bhanot has developed yoga sequences that all focus on different aspects of your consciousness, to not only strengthen the body but also increase your energy level.
Those that practice Antastha Yoga feel energetically charged and focused. It is a new way of Yoga, that follows the archetype of traditional yoga, where we find health and balance through moving inwards discovering our very own peace.
I am a certified Antastha Yoga teacher. I am pleased to accompany you on the journey to yourself.
Bhagavad Gita: „Yoga is the Journey of the Self, through the Self to the Self“…
Yoga-Nidra
Yoga nidra is a technique used to wind down and relax. It is meant to improve the quality of life and heighten the general feeling of overall happiness in the life of humans. This technique was developed to aid practitioners of yoga nidra on their quest of transforming their lives into something more meaningful.
Stress and anxiety we carry around everyday deprives the mind of its serenity. Our mind and soul can rest during yoga nidra in the same way our body does when we go to sleep.
Our life is never as relaxed as we would like it to be. We are more “online” than ever before. When we are stressed and overwhelmed, it’s difficult to calm down and relax. This impairs our good night sleep – either quality or quantity.
It’s been said that one hour of yoga nidra is as relaxing as four hours of sleep. Yoga nidra affects our brain waves, which has long-lasting effects in our daily lives. The practice of yoga nidra slows down the frequency of our brain waves. During the day we are in beta wave frequency, which means we are very active, think a lot, attend meetings, accomplish our daily tasks with deadlines to follow. That’s quite normal, but if the beta waves are high, we experience stress and if they increase extremely we might experience anxiety. Besides mental and emotional stress and anxiety beta wave frequencies have physiological effects like a high adrenaline levels and increased stress hormone levels (cortisol). This can cause a less restful sleep.What happens in the body during the practice of Yoga Nidra?
Our brain frequency eventually shifts from beta waves to alpha waves, which are much slower in frequency. This counterbalances and we become calmer and more relaxed, but are nonetheless completely alert. In this relaxed state it is very easy to wind down, to disconnect completely and to be fully present in the Here and Now. Once we are fully relaxed and our brain waves are at alpha state, our immune system improves which reduces the stress hormone levels and leads to a lower blood pressure.
Yoga nidra even brings us deeper into the theta wave frequency. During theta state, we are in a very light subconscious sleep, like a trance or hypnosis, which we quite similar experience when day dreaming. Our senses are withdrawn from the external world and our focus is within.Yoga nidra won’t replace eight hours of a good night sleep or relaxing moments during the day, but it’s a very efficient method to change our mental and spiritual condition: from anxiety and stress to calm, balance and clarity.
This relaxing yoga practice helps us to fall asleep much easier and to improve our quality of sleep.

Business-YOGA
Yoga in the Office
If you want to do something great to your employees, give them the opportunity to participate in a 45 or 60 minutes yoga session during their lunch break or any suitable time during the day.
With this generous offer your employees will be protected against stress and other illnesses, yet become resilient to outside stressors. Yoga promotes concentration, improves focus and productivity. In the long run this means a “win-win situation” for your employees and your company (higher performance of your employees and job satisfaction).
Due to extensive office work, we are sitting too much and don’t move our bodies sufficiently. The consequences are a stiff neck, back pain, headache and sometimes even migraine. These physical complaints can be relieved with mediation, breathing techniques and yoga postures. In some cases they might even disappear completely.
- Relaxation and meditation to wind-down
- Better posture
- Strengthening core and back muscles
- Inner balance and tranquility
- Better quality of life and joy of life
- Better performance and productivity on the job
Stress makes people sick. Stress related to work followed by back pain, is the second largest health problem in the European Union. For absences due to illness and sick employees the German economy has to pay tremendous amounts of money.

About YogAmé
My name is Amélie Zoll.
I am a certified hatha yoga teacher (RYS 460)
I was firstly introduced to yoga in 1980s, while living as an au pair in Vancouver. During my stay there, I had great fun practicing Iyengar-yoga for two years. After returning back to Berlin in 1987 however, I focused on other things, that were of priority at the time and slowly lost sight of the passion I once had for yoga.
Now I know that it simply wasn’t the time to start my yoga-journey. In 2012, I had the privilege of moving to Lusaka/Zambia together with my family and live there for four years. In Lusaka I met some great yoga teachers that I practiced yoga with several times a week.
Looking back I can say that this truly inspired me to restart my yoga-journey and discover more about it.
I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that you meet special people at a certain time in the right place. Some of these interactions are very inspirational and can lead to a change of direction in life or show you things from many different angles.
The universe plans it all for us.
I have been practicing yoga for over eight years now with growing excitement and passion for it. It helped me through many difficult life struggles and has shown me how to clear my mind, keep calm, balanced and to stay within. It helps me stay fit, mobile and regularly trains certain muscle areas of my body.
I completed my yoga teacher training successfully in 2018 at the Yogalife Foundation Germany led by Anjuly Rudolph and Sanjeev Bhanot.
It was important to me to do this training with Indian yoga teachers. This knowledge was passed down to them at a very young age and they taught it to us in a very vivid and authentic way.
It fascinated me that the Indian mythology as well as the philosophy of yoga is to this day still usable and transferable to western culture although it is over 5000 years old.
My approach to the philosophy of yoga supports the participants in developing a healthy mindset. The asanas (physical exercises), pranayama (breathing exercises) and the meditation will guide them onto a path of spiritual expansion.
This introduces us to a new way of interacting with not only others but also ourselves which is more authentic and valuable. That way we can unlock our full potential by happily doing something that is good for the health of our mind body and spirit.
