Embodied, Mindful Yoga in Northern New Jersey, New York City, and Online
Welcome. My name is Gernot Huber and I teach private and group yoga classes in northern New Jersey, New York City, and online. I also teach yoga workshops and trainings worldwide, and yoga retreats in the US, Europe, and Thailand. My unique approach to yoga focuses on wellbeing through the integration of biomechanics, mindfulness, and joy.
I make visible the connections between patterns of movement, alignment, and breath on the one hand, and our mental processes on the other. By focusing on the interconnections between the physical and mental dimensions of yoga, I help you create a more holistic practice that is both more beneficial and more enjoyable. With clarity, compassion, and humor, I make my teachings accessible to students of all levels, abilities, and ages.
To find out more about my approach to yoga, read a feature article published by Shut Up & Yoga. Or you can listen to an interview with me on The Embodiment Podcast.

Balance Muscular and Organic Energies
Muscular and Organic Energy are a pair of yoga alignment principles designed to work in tandem to bring us into balance. I find such paired alignment principles powerful teaching tools, because they inherently stress the importance of balancing opposites. By balancing opposites like Muscular and Organic Energies, we can increase not only our joy in our practice, but its safety, especially for our joints. Some people naturally have a [...]
Inner and Outer Spirals: Moving Towards Balance
Inner and Outer Spirals are a pair of alignment principles usually applied to the hip girdle. They are specifically designed to take us towards a place of balance, as they are based on the realization that wellbeing is a state of balance, not an extreme. This perspective runs counter to the widespread belief that more is always better. It also runs counter to the belief that the opposite of something [...]
