Gentle yoga exercises for body, mind & soul

My Why

I offer Chair Yoga for young and older people because it is an accessible and effective method for promoting health and well-being.

My journey into Chair Yoga began with the 200h Hatha Yoga training at the Vitalakademie Linz. During my thesis on Yin Yoga in the menopausal years, I discovered the power of gentle yoga styles. In a performance-oriented society, I wanted to create more balance – that’s why I followed a training with Stefanie Arend as well as a lot of self-practice and further education.

Shortly after my training in Sesselyoga teacher at the Vienna Yoga School & at Willem Wittstamm's Yoga 50+ Academy I received an inquiry from the Enns Senior Club – my introduction to teaching older people, which was received with great enthusiasm and has had a lasting impact on me.

Today I teach people of all ages.

Yoga is for me a path that is accompanied by curiosity, joy, and lifelong learning.

My values

Care and support:

Chair Yoga stands for care and support – it enables yoga in a gentle environment, regardless of physical conditions or limitations.

Holistic health – body, mind & soul:

Chair Yoga strengthens holistic health – promotes physical fitness, mental clarity and emotional well-being. It creates space for tranquility and inner balance.

Community & Connection:

Chair Yoga brings people together – for shared practice, exchange, and learning. For me, it is enriching to experience and accompany this connection in my groups.

After the Chair Yoga with Birgit, I have less back pain. In addition, the asanas in the armchair are well-guided, and Birgit is very warm and welcoming.
