Frank has been actively engaged in the practice of Ashtanga yoga since 1990. In 1995, Frank opened the first Ashtanga studio in all of Germany and was the operator of www.ashtanga.de. He formed the German Ashtanga yoga community by teaching the traditional style of Ashtanga yoga in the early 1990s. From the very beginning, he was a dedicated practitioner of traditional Ashtanga yoga.  

Several times he has been to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath in Mysore. Furthermore, he was trained by various instructors such as Derek Ireland, Radha Warrell, Lino Miele, Dena Kingsberg, Nancy Gilgoff, Andrew Eppler, David Swenson, Dona Holleman, Prem (Anthony Carlisi) and Radha (Heather Duplex).
