Doro Baumfalk
Yoga Teacher Trainer
My name is Dorothee Baumfalk, but you can call me Doro. I am “The Writing Yogini,” a passionate writer who loves sharing insights about yoga, Ayurveda, journaling, and all things spiritual. From the moment I could hold a pen, I’ve been in love with writing, and now I channel that love into guiding others on their yoga journey.
About Doro Baumfalk Yoga Teacher Trainer
I am a certified yoga teacher specializing in Yoga for Seniors and the Business of Yoga. Additionally, I am an Ayurvedic health coach and journal therapist, committed to teaching the physical aspects of yoga while providing a holistic experience. I weave Ayurveda and therapeutic writing into my yoga classes, creating a practice that nourishes both body and mind. I also love empowering other yoga teachers to bring these elements into their classes, adding depth and authenticity to their teachings.
My yoga journey began while working a demanding marketing job in the hotel industry. As the work became increasingly overwhelming, I sought balance through yoga and eventually enrolled in a two-year Yoga Teacher Training program. This transformative experience ignited a passion that reshaped my life.
As a lifelong writer, I also delved deeper into the therapeutic power of journaling by enrolling in a Journal Therapy course. It was here that I discovered the powerful synergy between journaling and yoga. These two practices enhance each other, creating a richer, more reflective experience for yoga practitioners. This realization led me to incorporate journaling into my yoga classes, offering a unique blend of movement and mindful reflection.
My next adventure was completing a one-year distance training program to become an Ayurvedic Counselor. This training has allowed me to bring the wisdom of Ayurveda into my teachings, further enriching the experiences I offer to my students.
