ABOUT CHRISTOF
For many years, Christof Schnepp has accompanied people on their path to greater presence, body awareness, and inner connection.
His own spiritual journey began in India in 1998 and has since been shaped by yoga, meditation, self-exploration, and shamanic practices. For over 17 years, he has worked with groups and individuals in retreats, workshops, and individual sessions.
His work combines yoga, breathwork, sound work (Nada Yoga), shamanic healing methods, and body-oriented awareness work. He sees himself less as a teacher in the traditional sense and more as a facilitator who opens spaces where experience and personal growth can unfold.
Christof runs a yoga studio in Gummersbach and works with both groups and individuals, using techniques such as breathwork, shamanic constellations, EFT, and body-oriented process work.
His approach is undogmatic, humorous, and heartfelt.
