Julia Zimmermann: Goldsmith courses & yoga in Munich

I am Julia Zimmermann, goldsmith for over 20 years, yoga teacher and founder of my own jewelry label in Munich. My passion is working with my hands: giving shape to an idea, discovering materials and creating something that lasts. Yoga added the joy of movement, conscious pause and trust in one's own perception. Today I'm bringing the two together.

My mission? Encourage people to trust their creativity. You don't have to think of yourself as particularly artistic nor do you have to be able to do yoga. With me, you can try things out, ask questions and experience how your idea turns into a very personal piece of jewelry.

My studio is located in an idyllic backyard at Jahnstraße 5 in Munich's Glockenbachviertel. This is where goldsmith workshop and yoga room meet. Workbenches, jewelry design tools, a kiln and space for joint yoga practice form the setting for a day away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With a maximum of six people, the atmosphere remains personal and I have time to accompany everyone individually.

The special thing about my “Breathe & Create” workshop is the combination of yoga and genuine craftsmanship. We start with movement and then get into designing. With silver clay, you create your own pendant, which is made of real silver after firing. I will guide you from the first draft to the finished piece — with my experience as a goldsmith and plenty of room for your own signature. Eating together, sharing and short breaks are part of this.

Private events and bachelor parties are also possible. For groups who want to spend time together and work creatively, this creates a personal experience: doing yoga together, making jewelry, laughing and trying out something new. Each person takes home a unique piece of their own creation — as a reminder of that day and the people with whom they shared it. We will coordinate the process together with your group.
