Fitness and Yoga in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Alps
The Third Place
Helping busy people find joy in movement while discovering the power of fitness and yoga through group classes and private training – whether in your living room or on a mountain side, I’ll help you feel comfortable and confident on your mat.
Where curiosity, connection, and community come together to help you move well, feel good, and reconnect with yourself.
what is the third place?
What if you looked forward to being on your mat because you know it’s a fun, non-judgemental, and inspiring place to be?
Sociologists speak of the importance of having “a third place,” separate from work and home – a sanctuary where you can unwind, enjoy good company if desired, relax, and play. Coined by American sociologist Roy Oldenburg, a third place is one where you choose to be, free to come and go as you please.
My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to turn your mat into your third place – a space where you can practice genuine self-expression, fail freely, reconnect to yourself, and learn to move with confidence and curiosity.
I believe that variety is the spice of life. Moving – in all ways – is so important for longevity! These principles shape my teaching approach. In my classes we explore yoga, calisthenics, and functional and therapeutic exercises. We learn about anatomy, embrace failure as part of growth, and share moments of laughter. Through this process, participants gain confidence to move their bodies, just as they are.
Seeing my students develop self-confidence, skills and excitement around movement is what keeps me showing up every day.
