In 2017, I started working on my career as a personal and group trainer by obtaining my fitness trainer licence from the BSA Academy (School for Health and Management). I taught group fitness classes once a week after work in Stuttgart, Germany and later became certified in CrossX - a HIIT training method.

After 2 years in the gym environment I felt drawn to yoga. Which I have been practicing for myself since 2009.

In 2020 I got my 200h Teacher Training Certificate and after that I taught a variety of classes, such as

• Postpartum
• Created my own "Back in Shape" 8 week programme for mothers which was a mix of yoga and strength.
• Taught beginners and intermediate yoga in community centres and fitness clubs.

2021, when the pandemic happened, and until 2024, I had a break from teaching due to the lack of open gyms, but mostly due to my parental break and raising 2 little wonderful humans.

2024: Moved with the family from Munich to Seattle in March, settled in, currently teaching privately and working twice a week at the YMCA as an instructor for "All level," "Hatha" and "Vinyasa" yoga.
