Dr. Anne Schaeffer

The institute teaches the - experienceable breath - under the direction of Dr. phil. Anne Schaeffer-Riedl. Personal information about Dr. Anne Schaeffer-Riedl My airway began in 1975 with a single treatment from Prof. Ilse Middendorf. Today, almost 35 years later, I feel familiar with the work, I am more and more fascinated by the infinite facets and nuances of the possibilities of perception through the breath, the sensitization and the development of strength, the cautiousness of the impulses for personal development, the directness of inner knowledge States, the growth of self-confidence and self-worth. It is really a way to inner freedom while at the same time feeling integrated into everything that is. This path is like a picture book with the theme: "My Life". And again and again a new page and a new chapter open and I don't just see the pictures. Through breathing training I have become able to experience this side of my life; each new page with more awareness, more joy and gratitude. The view becomes more complex and my understanding becomes easier, more essential. I have been a teacher since I was 22 years old. I started as an art and German teacher in high school in Chicago, then at college in Milwaukee, USA In the USA, I acquired valuable educational and organizational skills. I always taught and learned at the same time, continued to study. BA, MA in USA, state examination for English and theology, doctorate in educational science, philosophy and psychology in Munich. I trained English teachers at the University of Munich for 20 years. From 1975 the "internal studies" began and in 1981 I took the breath teacher exam with Prof. I. Middendorf in Berlin. In 1987 I founded the Institute for Breathing Studies in Munich and have been training breathing teachers ever since.
