“I love working in a great team whose goals I believe in and because Uta is such an inspiring person!”

Jutta Casdorff has been a translator for Take The Magic Step’s German and English-language Web sites since February 2006. She currently lives in Berlin, where she also teaches both English and Physical Education. Previously, Jutta worked as a fitness instructor, a sports editor for broadcast, and as a sports writer and editor for print. Jutta, who is 35, keeps her mind and body fit by running, yoga, and playing with her newborn daughter.

How Take The Magic Step has affected Jutta’s life:
“I’ve always loved running and yoga but I now do both more consciously and with a different goal. And on bad days, I now think of the little magic step it takes…and take it.”
