Felix grew up in Germany and Canada and studied economics at Oxford University (MPhil), Harvard University and Bamberg University (Germany). He has worked for a sovereign wealth fund in Asia for over 15 years and in his spare time, he teaches an undergraduate course in finance and economics at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. 

Since he started practicing yoga in 2015, Felix has cherished the balance that yoga has brought to his life. Yoga led him to re-prioritize his goals, and it helped him evolve his exercise regime towards one aimed at aligning the body to its optimal blueprint. In May 2021, he completed a 200-hour Anusara Immersion and Teacher Training with Bo Srey, who infused humility and joy into his practice.

Apart from practicing yoga, Felix is passionate about strength training, swimming, and skateboarding. Felix is a certified personal trainer (American Council of Exercise).
