Egon is a certified Hatha Yoga teacher(RYT-200), Zen Shiatsu practitioner, Heilpraktiker and hiking guide.
Born in South Tyrol, Italy, Egon was brought up in the small village of "La Villa",
in the Dolomite Alps(Italy). Here he discovered, at an early age, his love for the mountains and nature.

After high school he started travelling, and made a variety of extended world journeys, where he soon discovered the passion for alternative medicine and ancient wisdom, which brought him towards the philosophy and practice of Yoga, Shiatsu and chinese Medicine.

He started his intensive ZenShiatsu studies in Munich, Milan and Switzerland. At the same time he attended the 3 year “Heilpraktiker” school (Naturopathy) and earned his diploma. After practicing for some years in Germany and Italy, he moved to Switzerland where he started up his own studio.
His very first contact with Yoga was 1994 through a book from Erich Schiffmann "moving into stillness". Since then he has been practicing Yoga in different Ashrams and centers throughout India and around the world, studying with various teachers. More to his Yoga-style on the "inside" page.
