About Us

We are Giulia and Lena. We met and fell in love a little bit on a yoga & surf retreat in Sri Lanka. We immediately had a close connection and a lot of parallels. From our shared home between Bavarian lakes and mountains, the love of travel and exercise, to the deep desire to experience life in all its facets more deeply, we founded the "Back to the Body Collective" in October 2023. We want to give something back and pass on our own experiences and the love of physical and mental connection & acceptance to women all over the world.

This is our manifested vision.

Giulia

Yogi, sun worshiper, ocean lover

Giulia is not only an experienced and qualified yoga teacher, but also a passionate advocate of self-awareness and body acceptance. Her classes focus not only on physical practice, but also on developing a positive and mindful relationship with oneself.

For her, it’s all about one thing: creating connections.

Connection between breath and movement, as well as letting go of the old and encountering the new.

Giulia integrates mindful breathing exercises, meditations and sound healing into her classes to promote a deeper connection between body and mind, with a particular focus on making her participants feel safe and comfortable.

Lena
