Stefanie Arend studied English, Spanish, and French and worked as a translator after graduating university. After giving birth to her first child, she decided to start over again and work as a yoga teacher, nutritionist, and holistic health coach because she wanted to be able to help people on their self-healing journey. She did many teacher trainings before she finally came across Yin yoga and realized that it was exactly what she was looking for. Her first book about Yin yoga became a bestseller and has now become a classic among yoga books in Germany. Four more books followed before she wrote Be Healthy with Yin Yoga. Her books have been translated into five languages.
