Breathe. Soften. Ground.
Find calm in the midst of a busy life.
I help busy people reduce stress, calm their nervous system, and create lasting wellbeing through yoga, breath work, meditation, and health coaching that focuses on habit and sustainable lifestyle changes. In an environment that is safe and welcoming, you can take a quiet moment in your day to reconnect to yourself.
BSG are both my initials - Barbara Sylvia Grunewald - and the philosophy that guides my work: Breathe. Soften. Ground.
I’m an international yoga and meditation instructor, certified health & wellness coach, and sound healing & breath work guide. I guide classes at luxury resorts and wellness destinations around the world, bringing the same personalized approach to private clients online and in person.
My mission is to guide you toward a more resilient, fulfilling way of life and self care.
Imagine knowing exactly how to calm your nervous system in five minutes.
Imagine sleeping deeply and waking up rested and ready for a new day.
Imagine ending your day feeling calm and accomplished.
Together we’ll build sustainable habits, create space for self-care, and discover practices that help you feel calmer, stronger, and more connected. All tailored to what fits your life, and what nourish your body, mind, and soul.

“I joined Barbara’s online yoga group as a novice yogini and felt a little apprehensive at first. However, Barbara’s warm smile and clear outline of what the session would involve immediately put me at ease. The yoga routine flows beautifully, and her instructions are so clear that you don’t need to keep looking at the screen. …
By the end of every session, I feel energised and ready to face the day. If you want to take care of your body and overall wellbeing, Barbara’s yoga classes are just the ticket!

“I have been taking Barbara’s yoga and meditation classes for 5 years, both 1:1 classes and group ones. Her style is so warm and welcoming, I always look forward to them as a treat. …
I get particular benefit from the 1:1 classes, since Barbara always tailors them to my favourite poses and meditation style. She somehow always knows exactly what will suit my mood or situation that day so I get maximum benefit and leave feeling balanced and ready to tackle whatever I have on. …”
