Who am I –
About me
Yoga teacher, mom, coach & IT employee
I used to think my life was boring. Today I look back and think “a little more stability would have been nice”.
But as the saying goes… the way is forward. And that’s exactly what I’ve experienced since I let yoga fully into my life. I started yoga in 2008, but until 2017 it was just a random part of my life. With the decision to do a yoga teacher training, this has changed. Since then, yoga has changed my life sustainably on all levels!
Today I am practicing Yoga on a daily basis. And it is really amazing how things have changed since then.

I was born and raised in Meiningen. After graduating from high school, I first decided to do a bachelor’s degree in “Educational Sciences with a minor in Learning, Teaching and Training Psychology”. At that point in time, however, none of this was “handy” enough for me, which is why I completed my studies in “Business Informatics” after graduating. I then worked in this area for various companies in Stuttgart, Darmstadt and Berlin. To this day, I work in the field of computer science and am very happy with it. I was a successful self-employed web designer for 5 years and for various reasons I decided to work again as an IT employee – and I’m basically very happy.
But none of this has fully satisfied me over the years. I enjoy my work, yes… and a certain part was always missing. That has changed through and with yoga. I never used to think that I would teach one day and that it would also be fulfilling. But that’s exactly what it is. In addition to your own practice, it is a wonderful feeling to bring yoga closer to other people, to shape and change their lives with it. And yoga itself is for me a place of stillness, of unity with myself, of arriving at myself – an island in everyday life, just for me.
What life will bring for me now…I don’t know, but it will be fine!
I now live in Meiningen again and am the mother of a son.
And “on the side” I have completed further training in coaching (such as NLP), hypnosis and biography writing.
