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.

I was looking for something that could help me feel more connected to myself and yoga gave me a sense of calm and presence that I hadn’t felt before. More I practiced, more I realized how much it helped me connect with myself on a deeper level and present. Hatha Yoga and Stress Release i do. Hatha is all about moving with awareness, focusing on breath, posture, and alignment. You gonna find a flow Hatha class and holding postures, to feel grounding and connecting. The Stress Release class uses a strip as a support to help release deep muscular tension, promote relaxation, and calm the nervous system through gentle, restorative movements. I want people to feel good in their bodies and take a break from all the noise outside. Finding movement or stillness, my goal is to help them feel more grounded, present, relaxed and feeling comfortable during the practice.

Self and body awareness are essential parts of both my personal and professional life. As an educator, university lecturer, and practitioner, I help people connect with themselves on a deeper level to discover their own reality and inner calling. My holistic approach is rooted in neuroscience and blends a variety of practices and tools, including body-oriented work, meditation, and journaling. Everything I teach, I also practice in my own life. Following a period of severe burnout, I used these tools to systematically restore my nervous system and realign my career path with what truly matters to me. Oh, and I’m also a big fan of Ashtanga yoga. BODY-CONNECTION What if I told you that your body knows more about you than your conscious mind? Sounds a bit wild, right? But it’s true. Our connection with the body is essential—not only for understanding its subtle signals but also for healing emotional blocks, working through trauma, and making everyday decisions with greater clarity. Body-Connection is a holistic class designed to soothe the nervous system, grounded in neuroscience. It’s a slow and mindful process that supports you in connecting—or reconnecting—with your body and the deep knowledge it holds. JOURNALING MEDITATION If you're feeling stuck, indecisive, or overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions, Journaling Meditation can offer a grounding path toward greater clarity and ease in your daily life. This practice blends the healing power of journaling and meditation, creating space for reflection and emotional release. It helps you take a nurturing step back from challenges, making it easier to recognize and let go of outdated beliefs that no longer serve you. Combining Journaling Meditation with Body-Connection or other grounding practices like yoga can deepen the experience and support your overall well-being.
