About us
Ines Brendel
Founder of Puppy Yoga Retreat
I am a passionate yoga teacher who believes deep in my heart that both the body and the mind are always finding new ways to heal and grow. I have been fascinated by dogs since childhood – their unconditional love and ability to live in the moment have always inspired me.
This love for animals and my dedication to practicing yoga have led me to combine animal welfare and yoga. Because I believe in both the healing that comes from a regular yoga practice and the healing that comes from connecting with dogs. My life is about mindfulness, inner balance and joy. Which we find in the simple things – be it in a deep yoga pose or in the gaze of a dog who meets us with his faithful soul.
My yoga trainings in India, Munich and Corfu have not only made me a passionate yoga teacher, but the experiences I have had on my travels have shaped me to a great extent and made me the person I am today. All in all, my yoga trainings comprise over 1300 hours, but to this day I am not only a teacher in every class, but also a student who is allowed to learn from her participants.
