Learning to Release the Old You and Trust What’s Emerging with Yoga Teacher Dagmar Spremberg

Some conversations feel like sitting down with someone who has lived many lives and still meets change with curiosity. That’s what this first interview on the Midlife etc. podcast is — a real, open-hearted exchange about loss, reinvention, aging, and finding your way when life asks you to start over.

My guest is Dagmar Spremberg, a yoga teacher who spent over two decades in Costa Rica, where she founded and ran Montezuma Yoga, building a life that, from the outside, looked like a dream. But when the studio closed unexpectedly in 2021, everything changed. Instead of forcing herself back into what was, she followed a quiet pull back to Europe — and eventually landed in Mallorca.

We talk about what it means to lose an identity you’ve carried for years, how aging asks us to soften our ambition and listen to our bodies, and why community matters even more when you’re reinventing yourself in midlife. Dagmar shares honestly about weight gain, injury, and the discomfort of no longer being who you were — and how she’s learning to trust that not knowing is part of the path.

You’ll also hear:

• How life kept nudging her into new chapters she didn’t plan
• The unexpected grief and freedom of letting go of a long-held role
• What aging has changed — in her energy, her body, and her priorities
• Why simple rituals matter more than perfect routines
• How to handle the “lost” seasons without rushing to fix them

If you're standing in a doorway you didn't choose, or sensing something shifting inside you without knowing where it leads, I think this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Dagmar’s story is a reminder that starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’re still alive to your own becoming.
