Birgit moved to the Unites States from Bavaria, Germany, in 1996. Her passion for a holistic lifestyle and a longing for a deep relaxation practice led her to discover yoga in 2000. Soon after establishing a regular yoga practice, she was drawn into the deep realm of yoga - Pandora’s box had opened to what is sure to be a lifelong study. 
​
​She finished her 200 hr training through the Yoga Center of Minneapolis in 2009. In 2014 she studied with Ben Vincent in his Advanced Yoga Study Program.

Birgit’s journey has led her to Spring Forest Qigong where she trained to be a Master Healer LV4 with Qigong Master Chunyi Lin. This practice has given her additional tools to balance and release energetic blockages in the physical and emotional body.

Birgit believes that when we practice TOGETHER we will raise the awareness of our consciousness collectively and that this enhances and builds strong communities. Her desire to share these teachings with everyone has brought her to volunteer at different facilities in the Twin Cities through the One Yoga Outreach Program. Her joy lies in humbly sharing the teachings, experiences, and techniques that she has learned. In addition to Qigong and Yoga Birgit is also a Reiki Master and an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) therapeutic coach.
