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.

Backbend Your Upper Back for Safer, Deeper Backbends
One major problem with backbends that most of us have experienced at some point is a sore lower back. Backbend-induced lumbar pain is the result of following the path of least resistance. Concentrating your backbends in the lumbar spine is simply the easiest thing to do. However, it's neither the healthiest, nor the most effective path. If you want to deepen your backbends while keeping your lumbar spine from [...]
Align Your Hips in Backbends
When you look at photos of people in super-deep backbends, it often looks like they have a sharp 90 degree kink in their lower back. It looks that way because they do. They have a hyper-mobile lower back. That certainly seems advantageous for deep backbends, but it is not something you want to emulate if your back doesn't do that naturally. And even if it does do that, it might [...]
