Doris Kienitz

Mother, grandmother, wife, author, yogi, healer, intuitive, light worker. Many years ago Doris felt called to share the enormous benefits of yoga so that others might experience greater wellbeing. She is passionate about sharing yoga, qigong, meditation pranayama and spiritual living. Doris leads with compassion and strives to create a safe space where people feel truly seen, heard and supported. Yoga has been a passion of Doris’s since beginning her very first yoga class in the late 90s. She instantly fell in love with the natural high it gave her. Doris dealt with a lot of body pain, IBS, TMJ, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Within a few months of regular practice, many of these conditions improved or had dissipated. What she didn’t realize at the time, was that stress was the cause of all these ailments in her body and mind. Through these classes, Doris learned how to breathe abdominally, release tension and create a calm mind and relaxed body. Sharing yoga & qigong now with her students, Doris is able to guide them to better wellbeing. When anxiety creeps in or other ailments act up, she, as well as the student, have the yogic tools (postures, breath-work and meditation) to help them through any situation. Plus - meditation is great for creativity. It was after a deep meditation session that Doris had the idea of writing a book on her parents’ hard life (East Germany & the Escape: Kitchen Table Memoirs) of living in and escaping from East Germany.
