Yoga maakt me aards en helder. Een aanrijding op jongere leeftijd veroorzaakte een whiplash. Yoga was voor mij toen de oplossing. Via power yoga ontdekte ik Hatha yoga. Diep geraakt wat het mij bracht: ik kon weer bewegen vanuit vertrouwen in plaats van angst, zelfs op mijn hoofd staan is nu geen enkel probleem. Met yoga ervaar ik een natuurlijke verbinding tussen lichaam en geest, wat het leven lichter maakt. Hoe fijn om dit te mogen delen! Welkom bij de herstelyoga. Ben je toe aan rust en ontspanning na een periode waarin je spanning hebt ervaren of nog steeds ervaart? Na bijvoorbeeld een burn-out, ziekte of andere stressvolle periode zowel fysiek, mentaal en/of emotioneel? Of vind je het gewoon lastig om tot rust te komen en worstel je met onrustige gedachten, onrust in het lichaam en/of een onrustige adem? De les is voor iedereen die opzoek is naar rust en herstel. Met kalme en ontspannende mindful, yoga- en ademoefeningen breng je je hele zenuwstelsel tot rust. Een complete reset, zodat je herstelt en ruimte ontstaat van waaruit gezonde patronen zich ontwikkelen. De oefeningen zijn een mix van Saswitha Hatha yoga, adem- en ontspanningsoefeningen Methode van Dixhoorn, restorative yoga, de polyvagaaltheorie en nervus vagus. Met de lessen word je je bewust van hoe je beweegt, hoe je ademt, hoe het écht met je is en val je meer en meer samen met jezelf. Een gevoel van thuiskomen en intense tevredenheid, fysiek, mentaal en emotioneel.

About Me as a Yoga Teacher My journey as a yoga teacher is rooted in deep exploration and dedication. Over the past three years, I have immersed myself in modern Vinyasa yoga with Simon Park, Claudia van der Tier, and Daphne Koken, Hatha yoga at Bilva, and mobility and flexibility training with Matthew Smith. These practices have shaped my approach, blending dynamic movement with mindful alignment and intelligent sequencing. I am profoundly influenced by Taoist philosophy, especially the concept of Wu Wei—the art of effortless action. Wu Wei teaches us to move in harmony with life’s natural rhythms rather than forcing or resisting change. In my yoga flows, this translates into a practice that feels intuitive, fluid, and sustainable, helping practitioners cultivate ease and presence both on and off the mat. Beyond movement, sound and vibration are integral to my teaching. With more than 7 years of experience in playing and composing music within spiritual communities in my homeland Venezuela, I have woven the power of sacred sound and mantra into my yoga practice. Whether through live music, chanting, or the rhythm of the breath, I guide students toward a deeper connection with their inner landscape. My classes are an invitation to explore balance, flow, and deep presence, creating space for transformation in body, mind, and spirit.

Hey Haarlem, I'm Daniel, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all. Having moved here just under a year ago, I'm excited to weave my practice into the fabric of this community here at Homi. Yoga, for me, is more than just postures; it's a way of exploring our inner landscape and finding practical tools for living well. My own path started from a place of seeking balance amidst a demanding life period, and I quickly realised the profound impact that linking breath, movement, and mind could have. As a teacher, my intention is to hold a safe and brave space where you feel empowered to explore your potential. We'll use movement to build awareness, breathwork to shift energy and find calm, and moments of meditation to cultivate clarity and presence. I love integrating insights from both traditional practices and modern understanding, always connecting what we do on the mat back to how we live our lives off the mat. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or have an ongoing practice, my classes – from dynamic flows to deep rest, meditations and dedicated breathwork – are an invitation to listen inward, be patient with yourself, and discover your own unique strength and stillness. I’m genuinely excited to share this practice with you at Homi. Come as you are! Sunly, Daniel.
