WHY 33 MONKEYS? WHY MONKEYS? WHY 33?

Monkeys are by nature experimental. They like to explore try out new gadgets. A perfect theme for an innovation retreat. We would like you to be completely open-minded and test your boundaries.

We decided to take number 33, because one of our key values is intimacy, so we would like to keep the group to around 30-40 maximum to make sure we foster true connections.

ANDREA DANKE

During her university studies of Psychology and Business in Los Angeles and working at MTV and Universal Music, Andrea came to yoga after the events of 9/11. Six months later, she began her first hatha yoga teacher training with her teacher Erika Faith Calig, founder of Cloud Nine Yoga School in L.A. Here she was told to try out as many yoga stiles as possible. Thus, she found her way to Golden Bridge Yoga in Los Angeles and her main teacher to this day Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, one of the most famous kundalini yoga teachers worldwide. In 2006 she began her kundalini yoga teacher training. She founded the first German online yoga magazine www.yogarelations.com.

ANDRÉ DANKE

Born in Bielefeld, Germany, Andre moved to Munich after graduating High School. From the Bavarian Academy for Advertising and Marketing (BAW), he received his diploma in Communications. Throughout his career he worked in corporate consulting, media and licensing and for companies such as Warner Bros.

Without a yogic background at that time, Andre recognized that the challenges of today’s (professional) world often times appear as two separate entities. He decided for a radical change by moving to a remote island in Canada in order to reestablish a work life balance. It was there that he met his first yoga teacher and began practicing hatha yoga. His modeling and acting career allowed him to travel around the world. In New York, he had the privilege to undergo a kundalini yoga teacher training by one of the best American yoga academies, Kundalini Yoga East.
