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.

Maria B.Teacher

Functional movement meets playful curiosity.

Maria teaches Vinyasa, Yin, and Myofascial Release. Her focus lies in functional movement and in building a strong, supportive foundation. At the same time, she gently encourages students to explore new movement patterns beyond their comfort zone. Her classes offer mindful, steady flows that remain accessible to all levels and invite a sense of playful curiosity.

She has completed almost 700 hours of training, rooted in a traditional yoga background that began in India. Over time, she has developed her own teaching style, shaped by curiosity, continuous learning, and a deep interest in the body–mind connection and the many possibilities of movement.

Creating a safe and welcoming space is central to Maria’s teaching. She encourages students to feel just right as they are and to explore their individual expression, both physically and mentally. Maria believes that every body is unique and trusts that each student takes what they need from class.

Outside the studio, Maria loves hiking in the mountains with her dog, is deeply devoted to Italian food, enjoys getting lost in non-fiction books, and dreams of one day living on an animal sanctuary in the countryside.

SandraTeacher

Strength and softness.

Sandra’s classes are rooted in Vinyasa yoga and enriched with mobility, somatic movement, a hint of dance, fascia work, and pranayama. Music plays an essential role in her teaching, shaping the atmosphere and supporting the intention of each class.

Her teaching moves between strength and softness – from spicy, mindful flows with an emphasis on healthy alignment to gentle Yin classes that invite deep reconnection. She also creates space for playful, juicy, and somatic movement explorations.
