Breathe. Soften. Ground.
About Me
My work is rooted in the belief that sustainable success and wellbeing begins within. After working for 20+ years in the corporate world and as an entrepreneur, I learned a powerful truth: growth becomes transformative when strategy and inner alignment work together. And we can all achieve inner alignment through mind-body practices and holistic wellbeing.
Today, I’m a Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Sound Healing & Breath Guide, and Health & Wellbeing Coach. My teaching specialities include yoga such as slow-flow, yin, restorative, and nidra; pranayama including breath & somatic work; meditation such as deep meditation, visualizations, and body scans; sound healing sessions including chakra healing and sound baths sessions; and health & wellbeing coaching, focusing on lifestyle and habit changes.
I’m originally from Switzerland and have lived and worked in Europe, North- and South America, the Caribbean, and the MENA region. I speak 5 languages fluently, and teach and work in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French.
I now call Palm Beach County my home.
Hi, I’m Barbara Grunewald!
I have been practicing yoga for 15 years, and mediation for 10 years, first discovering these healing practices when I was desperate to calm my mind and my raving tinnitus after a dive accident. Yoga has been an important practice for me to move my body and maintain strength while focusing on mindfulness, balancing the nervous system and regulating my breath.
During the pandemic in 2021, I did a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, initially to ‘just’ gain in-depth knowledge about yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation, and to learn more about the spiritual aspect of the practice. I very quickly discovered that I loved teaching, and started offering classes both online and in-person from July 2021.
Over the past five years, I have continuously broadening my knowledge, receiving certifications in a 25-hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, a 50-hour Meditation & Pranayama Teacher Training, a 50–hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training, and a 50-hour Restorative & Yin Yoga Teacher Training. I also completed a 15-hour Breath Coach certification, a Crystal Bowl and Sound Healing certification, and a 6-week Lifestyle Medicine and Wellness Coach certification at Harvard Medical School.
