Background My youth in Belgium was infused with sports, with an intense Karate practice in my teens and later on various styles of dance. I discovered yoga as a teenager, and rekindled my practice in 2018 when my being longed for more softness, slowness and authenticity. Yoga has allowed me to gently rebuild inner strength, and is still a daily ally in reconnecting with what rings true to me. In karate, dance or yoga, movement has always been a coming home, a means to detach from conditioned thoughts and to tap into inner truth - feeling the presence of the soul in the body and embodying a more assured and joyful version of myself. Keen to share my passion with others, I trained at Arhanta Yoga Ashram in 2022. I would love to assist others on their own journey of self-discovery and health, promoting a slower pace and the cultivation of awareness. Learning to meet and to hold space for what is present in body and mind, is what makes us able to feel fully embodied here and now, slowly shedding tensions, learning to move (physically and through life) with more ease, more strength and more joy, and eventually (re)connecting with that inner spark within our heart. In class My teaching style is focused, enthusiastic, and kind-hearted, infused with invitations to slow down and to pay attention to bodily sensations, as well as gentle encouragements to challenge yourself in a mindful way. You will often hear me emphasise the importance of finding steadiness and comfort in each yoga pose (body, mind and breath). I’m eager to create a space where you can tune into the mind-body relationship, and feel safe to come back to yourself.
