From 1994 to 1998 he trained as a yoga teacher in the professional association of yoga teachers in Germany (BDY) / European Yoga Union (EYU). Since then he has also published on the subject of yoga . In September 2011, his study Yoga under National Socialism was published, in which the claim that Hitler and the National Socialists had forbidden yoga is comprehensively refuted.
