BirgitCo-Founder, Teacher

Intelligent movement. Restorative ritual.

Birgit is the co-founder of SWEET SPOT and guides yoga, pilates, breathwork, and mindfulness practices. She curates and hosts retreats and works individually in therapeutic one-on-one settings.

In her teaching, she weaves together her studies of diverse yoga traditions, movement modalities, Ayurveda, Daoist philosophy, and various bodywork approaches.

Whether on the mat, the reformer, or the meditation cushion, she views every class as an intentional act of alchemy — an invitation to shift your inner chemistry. Her offerings span mindful yet dynamic Vinyasa and vigorous Katonah Yoga, empowering Pilates sessions, and her signature blend of Yin Yoga and somatic movement.

She teaches teachers in the SWEET SPOT Academy, is a Shiatsu practitioner and a fascia flosser, loves horses, to cook, to dance and could happily eat Pho every single day.
