My Yoga journey started in 2005 when I took a my first class at Shirley Woods’ innerspace. I came out with every cell in my body feeling electrified. This is when I knew that the practice of Yoga was exactly what I needed.

 

When I met Tess Eckhart in 2016 I found the spark to want to start teaching Yoga. She lead me to Marcel van de Vis Heil and the late Anat Geiger with whom I completed a 200hr Vinyasa and 200hr Yin Functional Yoga Teacher Training.

 

I taught Vinyasa with Yin elements and meditation at Sportcity from 2017 until 2020. A burn-out lead me to taking a break from teaching and I dove into my personal practice. Shifting from an overly Yang practice to a deepening understanding of Yin Yoga and its benefits.

 

In April 2023 I was drawn to completing another 50hr Yin Teacher Training with Yoga Den with head teachers Anna Scott Miller and Nicole Cuneaz . To bring back my enthusiasm for playfulness in Yoga I completed the 50hr Aerial Yoga Teacher Training with Janneke van Amelsvoort in June 2024.

 

I felt ready to share my Yoga practice again when I found balance between effort and relaxation: a strong practice with regular moments of stillness to feel the results of my movement. Now with a weekly Aerial Yoga Flow, Yin Yoga and a Vinyasa based Fire Flow I feel grateful to be part of the team at Studio-Veerkracht, Thrive Yoga Amsterdam, Tula Yoga Studios, Fit with Fire and So Søul | Inner Sanctuary. Focussing on innerbody and present moment awareness and the benefits of fully exhaling your breath.
