Yoga & Somatic Activation (Trauma-Informed) Teacher – Author – Yoga Teacher Trainer (250h), Yin Yoga (100h) & Breathwork (60h)

Hi, I’m Birgit. I am a Yoga and Somatic Activation (Trauma-Informed) teacher, author, and Yoga teacher trainer (250h), Yin Yoga (100h) & Breathwork (60h). I love organizing retreats, seminars, and workshops to dive deep and bring lasting transformation to people.

“Only those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world actually do” – Albert Einstein.

My mission is to help people become a calmer, more joyful, wise, and compassionate version of themselves. I enjoy guiding you to face your inner demons and provide you with the tools to release them.

I love Yoga, movement as medicine, nature, and the ocean—specifically surfing. When I’m in the water, I feel at home, and that’s what makes life meaningful for me. I strive to live outside of societal norms, even though I am part of it, because I love people and the world. My mission is to share how to live this way.

At some point, each of us looks at life and may not feel truly happy or fulfilled, living in stress, anxiety, or perhaps even depression. I’ve been there, and I know how to support you in living a more complete life.

Confucius said, “Fools seek happiness far away, while the wise cultivate it under their feet.”

That’s when I realized that happiness wasn’t something I had to search for like a hidden treasure or the ultimate goal of a journey. It was, instead, a state of the heart, mind, and soul—the journey itself. I wanted to be happy in that moment, and I understood it was up to me to find the key.

Since then, this journey has been exciting and continues to be. That doesn’t mean every day is perfect or free of challenges, but I know how to face them and remain peaceful.

My deepest wish is for all living beings to be free from suffering.

When a drop of water falls in the sea it becomes Ocean.
