About samana yoga center

Sanne Kerkhof, born and raised in Amsterdam, studied photography at the KABK art academy in The Hague and began her journey in the cultural world as a photographer. With a deep curiosity for connection and growth, she immersed herself in yoga 30 years ago, completing a three-year training in the Vijñāna Yoga tradition. A mother of three daughters, now thriving in their twenties, Sanne has always balanced creativity with community. Fourteen years ago, she founded Samana Yoga Center, a vibrant space for mindful movement and shared inspiration. For the past decade, she has brought yoga to thousands at the Mojo festivals Down the Rabbit Hole and Lowlands, working with a joyful, dedicated team.

Since 2020, her passion for nature, art, and future generations has led her to become a researcher and part of a organisation of large-scale projects like BOSK and Circle4Change. Throughout all her work, Sanne weaves people, disciplines, and dreams together — an inspiring connector building bridges toward a better future.
