About Us

Julia Baumgarten grew up in Berlin where she finished her education as physical therapist in 2005. After her graduation she moved to Vienna. In 2006 Julia began practicing Bikram Yoga and after three years of practice she decided to challenge herself and go to Teacher Training with Bikram Choudhury in spring 2009. Right after her certification as a Bikram Yoga Teacher in Palm Desert/California, she travelled through Germany and Switzerland to teach at various studios such as Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Zurich. "I took my first Bikram Yoga class in December 2006. I was surprised because for the first time I didn't feel inflexible and was able to do some of the postures. The challenging heat caused me a lot of moaning and resting on the floor. But slowly I got used to it and started to love it. My body changed rapidly by keeping on a consistent practice. Soon I managed to do things that were unthinkable before like touching the floor with my both hands. Tensions in the muscles as well as pain vanished and after every class the addiction rose. Through my profession as physical therapist working with the human body I think Bikram Yoga is the perfect exercise to bring the body, the muscles and the mind into balance. I love to teach Bikram Yoga and each class gives me a beautiful experience." back...
