Anja Markowski loves the sun on her skin, the sound of the ocean in her ears, and the sand beneath her feet. That’s why she moved to St. Peter-Ording in 2021, where she now enriches the community as an independent instructor with her yoga and fitness classes. Her focus is on mindfulness and self-care, as well as holistic well-being.
With her positive attitude, she manages to energize locals and visitors alike and help them find a sense of calm and relaxation.
Always active, there for everyone, and eager to support people in their daily lives, Anja is a true powerhouse.
I feel like this is so meaningful—because people just love coming here and keep coming back, and they say I'm good for them.

More about Anja
Coach with a Focus
From Munich to Hamburg to St. Peter-Ording. For many years, Anja lived a rather hectic life until she made a conscious decision a few years ago to seek more peace, mindfulness, and empowerment in her life. Today, the industrial engineer works as a self-employed personal fitness trainer and teaches various yoga and fitness classes.
She moved to St. Peter-Ording with her husband in 2021.
As she herself says, she has found her calling as a trainer and, in St. Peter-Ording, a place of nature and tranquility. But standing still is not an option for this active trainer. She is constantly evolving and continuing her education in fields such as psychology and medicine. This is because it is very important to her to be able to view people holistically.
With her positive and balanced demeanor, she helps people who—just as she once did—are caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and often struggle with back pain and other ailments. Anja is able to put herself in her students’ shoes and equip them with the strength and motivation they need for everyday life. For Anja, the focus is clearly on “helping people help themselves.”
That’s Anja. A true SPO everyday hero.
