Marcel has a diverse background, which began with strong role models as parents. From his father, who was a preacher, and his mother, who studied naturopathic medicine, he was exposed to meditation and relaxation practices early on. He obtained a Master of Arts in Music from Music College Cologne, and a Masters in Business Administration from University of Kaiserslautern. He became an accomplished musician recording two albums and performing in over 400 concerts, which he coordinated and arranged himself. Having a successful career as a guitarist took its toll on Marcel’s hand causing pain and discomfort. Marcel returned to his roots and used meditation and yoga to improve the condition of his hand. Experiencing the true power of meditation and yoga Marcel immersed himself fully in the practice and teaching of this ancient science. After studying with Yoga Master Shri Yogi Hari over twelve years, he obtained Yoga Master status. He published seven books.
