Who is thisDr. Katja Brunkhorst? Scholar, rock musician, mother, Ashtanga yoga student and teacher and, last but certainly not least, freelance author, copy writer and mompreneur. I get a kick out of creating connections between people, am passionate about being a mother, musician and yogini; and I feel blessed I get to deal with words and languages in many different registers for a living. Exciting encounters and travels, whether in books or in real life, keep me young; I need to learn new things constantly and incorrect punctuation in other people’s texts can really get my goat. Those many different roles, however, share one motivation behind them: Being fascinated with communication in all its forms, how it sounds – and how it can work. I call language home.

I have trouble keeping up with myself sometimes, as a cosmopolitan country bumpkin or, more elegantly put, “European Female”. Thank feck I have my CV for that – as, should you want it, have you now.

This is what yoga helps me with: to rest a little bit more within myself in the daily madness of life as a mompreneur. And that is why I have now completed my fourth and final year of BDY/EUY yoga teacher training, more than 800 hours in total, having the wisdom of that tradition, which is thousands of years old, help me in everything I do.
