My Story

When I did my first yoga teacher training Ashtanga & Hatha in 2016, I din't think I 'd want to teach yoga, I was just so obsessed with my newest hobby that I wanted to learn more. But then I came home, finished my studies, started working in the field of Marketing, and soon realised that wasn't for me. I yearned to quit my 9-5 and teach yoga full-time. But I wanted to feel more capable, and study other styles of yoga that I love more; like Vinyasa and Yin. So in 2019, when my job quit me, I traveled and studied more yoga. When I came back I started teaching at the studios in Amsterdam, and I loved it! I taught lots of classes and studied more styles of yoga. 

​

Then in 2023 my husband and I went on a road trip in a van for 9 months. I came back pregnant and with Lyme disease, which I didn't know until much later. I got gradually sicker and after our lovely daughter was born, we moved to Vinkeveen. I looked around to see which studio I could teach at, and found to my great surprise that there weren't any yoga studios! So there was my invite to start my own studio. Right after opening, I got so sick that I had to stop teaching and working for a bit, cause my body and brain wouldn't function anymore. Finally I was diagnosed with Lyme early 2026, and treatment started. First treatment triggered an even worse immune response and I got even sicker. Then gradually I got better! Summer 2026 I got cleared of Lyme disease, but I am still dealing with the aftermath and with a broken foot. 

​

I am going to be honest with you, while I was sick and my joints and muscles hurt, I did not like to practise yoga in the physical sense. But meditation, mindfulness and breathwork have been there for me through the worst. I am now using yoga as a tool to find joy in movement back and to make my body feel good again, and I hope to help you do the same.
