Brigitte Breternitz has been a dancer since she began walking. Her first childhood memories are connected with dance and she never imagined doing anything other than making dance a profession. When she discovered yoga for herself, the circle was completed and Vinyasa Dance was born. Brigitte completed a sports education study at the universities of Erfurt and Cologne as well as private training as a stage dancer and dance teacher for contemporary dance in Nuremberg. She trained in a wide variety of dance styles including in L.A. / USA, Salvador de Bahia / Brazil and London / UK, Tropea / Italy, among other places. which shaped her stylistic versatility.

In 2006 she founded the agency PAKAMELE Productions, with which she successfully offers show concepts, choreography, coaching & staging.

In 2007 she opened the well-known dance studio MADCITY COLOGNE, which she sold in 2015 to be able to devote herself more to her own yoga practice and artistic projects. As a choreographer, Brigitte has worked in many different areas, including TV, film and video productions, theater, advertising and fashion. She develops stage shows and choreographies for music videos for musicians from the international music scene and performing artists. Brigitte Breternitz choreographed for the Steinkamp Dance Company for the RTL-TV series “Alles was zählt” and still coaches the main characters of the series for their ice performances.

Brigitte has been practicing Vinyasa Yoga regularly since 2007 and has discovered her love for this ancient Indian practice. In 2015 she completed her first 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Yogaloft Cologne. A 50-hour yin-yoga training and a 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training with Yogesh Patel from India followed. Her regular stays in India have become an integral part of her annual planning and inspire her again and again for her artistic work in the field of yoga and dance. Brigitte has developed her own fusion of yoga and dance, which she calls Vinyasa Dance and offers this internationally in the form of workshops, seminars and teacher training. Yoga has become her way of life and can be found in all of her work today.
