Kashi’s 20-year History in Ulm

Vishnu Andreas Hubmann received many years of professional training as a yoga teacher and Shiatsu therapist in India and the USA. When he returned to Germany he took up residence in Ulm, his wife’s hometown, and founded the school for yoga and acupressure in 1983 in Herrenkellergasse 3. In 1986 the location became too small and the school relocated to the more spacious premises of Pfauengasse 25. The move to the new location was also the occasion for the renaming of the school and it was given the venerable name Kashi. This was the time when Govind Mathias Berg, who was still being trained as a BDY yoga teacher, began to assist Vishnu with his yoga courses.

After they both qualified as practitioners of natural medicine, Vishnu and Govind received the official permission in 1989 to practice naturopathy. The focus of their work shifted from preventive measures to therapeutic measures and the Kashi School for Yoga and Acupressure became the Kashi Practice for Naturopathy and the Berg Practice for Naturopathy. To this day Vishnu and Govind continue to head their therapy groups as practitioners of natural medicine.

However, in order to emphasize the important aspect of prevention through Hatha Yoga again, Vishwanath Sebastian Janzen consulted with Vishnu and founded the Kashi Yoga School at the beginning of 2006. And so the school has come full circle. Hatha Yoga and Shiatsu-Acupressure can now be received as preventive measures or for therapeutic purposes in Pfauengasse 25.
