A small-town studio grows into its second year

Alexandra Pertl’s Yogatraum in Tamsweg has moved to a new address after its first year.

Alexandra Pertl’s route into teaching began without a plan to run a studio. A profile dated October 2026 follows her from competitive sport and borrowed teaching space to Yogatraum in Tamsweg, Austria.

A room and a team develop together

The profile, published by yoga-holiday company yaa holidays, describes training she initially undertook for herself and early classes beside gym equipment. It is based on Pertl’s account and sits within a travel business’s magazine.

Her official studio page supplies the current development: Yogatraum began on November 3, 2025, and moved to Kirchengasse 22 from November 1, 2026. The anniversary should therefore be distinguished from the more recent change of address.

Pertl describes building a team from teachers she already knew. The story gives teaching a gradual shape, through relationships and ordinary rooms, rather than a fully formed business arriving at once.

The profile also allows for a teacher who still finds parts of practice difficult. That personal account is not a universal model of training or a promise about retreats. It offers a less polished picture of becoming responsible for a regular local teaching space.
