EXPLORE INSIGHTS, TIPS, AND PRACTICES FOR HOLISTIC WELL-BEING
 Dear Yoga friends!
As the holidays approach and the year draws to a close, I wanted to send you my warmest wishes and all my love. I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and loved ones! During this special season, whether in between or afterward, I encourage you to take a moment for reflection. This is the perfect time to look back on the past year and think about how far we’ve come. Let’s do this together. Here are a few questions to guide your reflection: • What has changed since the start of the year? • What are you proud of accomplishing? • What areas of your life would you like to transform? • What intentions or goals will you focus on moving forward? • What changes would you like to make for yourself? • Do these intentions have a physical, mental, or spiritual focus? Here’s my personal list to start! :) • Physical Focus: After Christmas, I’m cutting out sugar (again!), including hidden sugars in my food. I’ll start a 4-week cleanse in January to reset my body. I plan to take longer walks in the woods with our dogs. • Mental & Emotional Focus: I will finally dive into the books that have been waiting for me! I’ll continue my Energy Medicine Course and pursue other courses that interest me. I’ll make it a point to call or invite friends over more often. I’ll listen to my inner voice and trust my heart. • Spiritual Focus: I’m dedicating more time to longer meditations, reflections, and daily journaling. I’ll deepen my Yoga practice. I’ll make time to visit beautiful places—whether it’s a walk, a day trip, or a getaway—just to be in the moment. I want to feel present, fulfilled, renewed, and refreshed. I could go on, but I don’t want to overwhelm myself. It’s important not to set unrealistic expectations, so I’ll focus on what truly matters, knowing I don’t have to do it all at once. Happy Holidays and a Happy & Healthy New Year 2026 from my heart to yours! Hannelore

[email protected] Dear Yoga friends! This blog note is the shortest I ever have written! More to come! :) I am enjoying my new Energy Medicine Course tremendously! If you like to hear more, please note, I have changed my email address! Until soon, Hannelore [email protected]  Dear Yoga friends!
I hope, you are all well and start enjoying the time of the holidays! We had a funny Halloween, see the picture of Nala, our husky, dressed as the wolf, who was accompanied by Freya as Rotkäppchen. :) This coming Thanksgiving and during the Holidays, our whole family will be united again for the festivities. I am so very thankful for my family, my experiences over the years, as well as my current learning experiences during my Energy Medicine Course. As we grow older, I realize that the most meaningful moments are often ordinary, but they stay with us! Gratitude does not need to be big. It is just that moment of recognition. Be it a big moment or a small one: It might have been a challenge, which transformed into success. It might have been something small, but with a surprise! So, as we approach Thanksgiving, reflect upon, or write down three moments of this year you are grateful for! With each one of them take a few minutes to really feel your gratitude! Then, on Thanksgiving day, share it with your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays! With Love, Hannelore P.S. I will be changing my email address! It will be: [email protected] Hello dear Yoga friends!
I was interviewed by NHPBS for the episode SENORITY AUTHORITY. The interviewer asked me a few questions on my life style, Yoga, Ayurveda, and how to age well. The episode of SENIORITY AUTHORITY will be launching on Monday at 7:30 PM on New Hampshire PBS. This next episode will be premiering the story about Rethinking Aging that features my stories! And if you can’t catch the broadcast, you can always find SENIORITY AUTHORITY on the PBS YouTube channel and the PBS App (which will be available after the broadcast airing). Here’s a listing of when this episode of SENIORITY AUTHORITY will air on NHPBS: Premiere Schedule 9/15 –Rethinking Aging Enjoy! :) Much Love, Hannelore  I hope you're having a wonderful summer! For me, it’s been flying by too quickly! In addition to my trips to Germany and across the US, I've been tending to my gardens, which have required extra attention due to the heat. I'm passionate about growing veggies and herbs, and I love incorporating the fresh harvest into every meal.
On Wednesday, September 10, at 5:00 PM, I’d be delighted to spend some time with you on Zoom! I’m offering a Free Healing Relaxation-Visualization session, where we’ll work with colors. We’ll start by taking a few minutes to chat about our summer adventures. Please send me a quick email if you'd like to join with a link to Zoom! I look forward to connecting with you. Much Love, Hannelore  We’re back from Peru and had an absolutely incredible time! We were warmly hosted by a wonderful family who guided us from Lima through the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and even to a beautiful island by the ocean. Their vacation homes were not only breathtakingly beautiful, but we also felt so deeply loved and cared for—words truly can't capture the warmth we experienced.
Peru's nature is incredibly diverse and awe-inspiring—everywhere we went, we were met with beauty that touched our hearts. Amidst all the joy, there was also sorrow. During our time in Peru, we received the heartbreaking news from Germany that my older brother had passed away after a long and courageous journey with health challenges. It was a very difficult moment. Yet even then, our host family showed such gentle compassion and took time to listen as I shared memories of my brother—a kind, generous, and beloved soul. His passing is a profound loss for our family. We’ll be traveling to Germany soon to be with our loved ones and to celebrate my brother’s life. Later next month, we’ll return again to attend our nephew’s wedding—a time of joy and new beginnings. Once we’re settled, I’ll be in touch to arrange a time for a Zoom gathering for some social connection and meditation. Until then, sending you much love, Hannelore |
