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 Thrive Yoga Amsterdam, Tula Yoga Studios and Fit with Fire. Focussing on innerbody and present moment awareness and the benefits of fully exhaling your breath.
