ABOUT ME
From early childhood, I felt a deep fascination for Asian ways of life—especially Japanese and Chinese culture, their philosophy, movement arts, and way of living.
At the same time, my curiosity for the interplay between psyche and body was awakened. Already during my school years, I laid my first foundations in psychology and began to deepen my understanding of human consciousness.
At the age of 18, this path led me to a Shaolin temple, where I spent a year immersed in intensive training in martial arts, inner work, and mental discipline. This experience shaped me profoundly and became the foundation for my present work.
After returning to Austria, I began studies in psychology and communication design to complement my practical experiences with an academic framework and to create a bridge between inner practice, perception, and expression.

Closing Remarks
WHAT IS SOMATIC TAI CHI
Somatic Tai Chi brings together ancient eastern Wisdom and modern western Perspectives on the Body. It uses refined structure and conscious breathing to restore harmony between body and mind.
The practice supports nervous system regulation and the gentle release of chronic muscle tension.
AS INTERNAL RESTRICTIONS SOFTEN, BLOCKAGES ARE REVEALED & RELEASED, ALLOWING ENERGY TO MOVE FREELY & NATURALLY ONCE MORE.

FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS
“I finally understand what to practice and why. Her structure gives real direction.”
Diego, Mexico
Working with Claudia changed how I understand my body. I’ve trained for years, but no one ever explained movement this clearly.
Lukas, Switzerland
Her teaching helped me reconnect with my body after years of tension and discomfort. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced.
Elena, Spain
“Most teachers focus on the surface. Claudia teaches you how movement actually works from the inside.”
Sofia, Italy
“Every session reveals something new. She guides you exactly where your body needs to go."
