About

My name is Julia Baumann. With a shoe size of 36, I live on a small foot, but my heart for yoga and travel is a few sizes bigger.

With BAREFOOT I want to help people get back on the ground. Yoga journeys open our eyes to another world so that we can walk with our hearts again. I am convinced that if more people find peace within themselves, the world will be a better place. That’s why I founded BAREFOOT and collect the most beautiful yoga hotels and retreat centers around the globe.

Who am I? For years I was head of marketing at one of the largest, owner-managed, Austrian tourism companies in Vienna. I was entrusted with this responsible position in my twenties. As a balance to the hustle and bustle of the office, I discovered yoga and fell in love from head to toe. Yoga has helped me in so many areas of my life that I decided to put this tool into the hands of others as a teacher.

Many years later, I quit my corporate job and pursued the idea of BAREFOOT.

BAREFOOT is my perfect match. Marketing, travel and yoga. I track down great yoga hotels and offer the possibility to put their retreats online. In my yoga magazine, I bring the personalities behind great hotel concepts and yoga holidays out into the open. All this is to help yogis who love to travel to find a great yoga holiday.

Your yoga hotel or yoga holiday is missing from BAREFOOT? Write to me. Would you like to write a guest article for my yoga magazine? Write to me too.

I look forward to building a colourful BAREFOOT community together with you and other readers, users, followers, yogis, part-time hippies and holiday tyres.

Namaste.

Your Julia Baumann
