About Me

Teaching is an everlasting passion for me. Even before getting engaged with the other, I've been my own teacher for many years. The whole subject of education, which for me means
transformation, that is to say, using constructive tools in order to overcome limitations and as means of building a more conscious life. The process of education is never finished though. We will always be susceptible to change. So, if we really want to mature and flourish as human beings, we have to shift our focus from the final goal and all the anxiety envolved and remain attentive to the quality of our being, which in scientific terms means the nervous system's response, when we approach any activity.

I'm excited to offer private yoga classes in my new home city of Amsterdam. I recently moved from London where I taught group and private classes.I'm an experienced and passionate yoga and meditation teacher. I first trained in Vinyasa Flow 6 years ago and I also offer pregnancy yoga and yin classes.

The benefit of a private yoga class is that you can tailor the class to exactly what you want and all my attention is on you. I also come to your home making the experience super convenient for you. If you want to become fitter I will create a dynamic class for you, if you want to relax and slow down I will create the perfect environment for you to do so.

My personal philosophy is Do yoga, Be yoga- meaning I believe people who practise yoga but become more yogic in life; by taking the lessons in yoga beyond the mat into the everyday.My teaching style is often playful and I believe you can smile through all of the poses. I tailor my thoughtfully sequenced classes to the individual student.

Modern life is often lived at such a fast pace and I hope to offer a space of peace for you during our classes together.

I hope to see you on the mat soon.

I teach Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and Power Yoga. Classes are available at all levels in English or Dutch. In addition to private lessons, I have extensive experience teaching in studios.

Yoga has done a lot for me, both physically and mentally. It is about much more than just exercise and would like to share this with others. I did my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga in Greece. In addition, I followed a 100-hour yoga teacher training in Yin Yoga in Utrecht.

I like to give my students a better understanding of why you are practicing a certain pose, what the benefits are for your body and mind, and the best way to get into the pose! Each lesson can be adapted to your wishes! You can indicate to what extent you want to focus on meditation & breathing and to what extent you want to focus on the physical aspect of yoga. After each lesson we can make adjustments so that I can ultimately put together the perfect lessons for you!

I'm a yoga instructor based in Amsterdam.

I'm offering private yoga classes tailored to your personal needs and goals.
During vinyasa practice (dynamic yoga) we will coordinate the movement with your breath flowing from one posture to another and focusing on your inner self. Needles to mention all the benefits that yoga offers, it can truly improve particular aspects of life.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I entered in the Yoga World after 15 years of working in corporates. Now, my mission is to be of service for people in a deeper level. Through tailor made yoga sequence, my aim is to assist people on learning how to breath and how to stand strong on their feet. I use a lot of therapeutic elements, breathing exercises and a bit of philosophy in my sequences in order to empower students, through an improved well being.

Every session is intuitive and personalized. Through soft breathwork, grounding awareness, and heart-centered guidance, we invite your system to relax and open. You’ll have room to feel, to let go, and to create more space for clarity, alignment, and inner ease.

This session is for you if you long for:
A moment of stillness in your day
A deeper connection to your inner world
Emotional or energetic release
A gentle reset for your mind and body

No experience is needed, just your presence.
You’ll leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more connected to yourself.

I've been teaching all about my knowledge about yoga and sharing all my love of yoga since 2012.
I'm a certificated instructor for both Vinyasa yoga and Hatha yoga. I attended two separate Yoga Alliance certificated teacher trainings back in 2011 and 2012.
My sessions are professional, strong, playful, and designed in such a flow you lose track of time!

With personal yoga sessions, I modify my flows according to your needs and expectations.
That's one of the many reasons why having private sessions is super powerful and valuable!

Come and join me, let's breathe and move together!

Yoga is a well known discipline practiced all over the globe and I'd love to to share with you the 3 styles that I've been teaching throughout my life which are vinyasa, hatha and yin yoga. My other passion is providing access consciousness therapies since they have changed my life in unimaginable ways.
Be welcome to take one of my sessions I'm pretty sure you'll keep coming back for more.

Hi! I specialize in Yin Yoga and my goal is to bring you (back) in touch with yourself. By combining deep stretches with breathing exercises and meditation you can let go of stress and tension and you can come into deep relaxation with a clear mind.

At Yin Yoga we stay in the postures for a few minutes to stimulate the fascia tissue, calm the nervous system and create more space in our body.

Many of my clients are ambitious, enterprising people who want to feel good about themselves and by integrating Yin Yoga into their day or week, release stress and tension, recharge and gain more energy. They can focus better, get to know themselves better and they are more productive.

Do you need more relaxation, the release of physical and / or physical stress and do you want time for yourself?
Or do you have burnout complaints?
Feel free to send me a message. I would like to help you!

Inner music is that intuitive talent that is bright and makes you and the people around you thrive, it can be a skill with an instrument, singing or talking and sharing ideas, creating visual art, dancing, sports or any other kind of expression.

This course is for anyone who has the courage and willingness to develop his/her inner potential.

This course offers practices and techniques adapted to what works best for each participant.

This course goes as deep as the participant is willing to go, exploring the inner experience and gaining wisdom from the past.

Through personalised sessions, I will take you to explore your inner potential, I will guide you into a journey of understanding, questioning and becoming more self-aware, to create a present of ease, where it feels safe, in peace with the people around, in peace with oneself, in Love with life, truthfully, with a wide world view, and connected with Inner-music

Yoga, which I initially adopted as a treatment method following my herniated disc diagnosis, evolved into a practice for both my physical and mental well-being over time. By gaining a deeper understanding of the body through alignment and mindful observation during slow-paced flows, I discovered its incredible capabilities, opening up a whole new path in life.

As you continue to practice, both mentally and physically, you become more attuned to the sensations and changes within your body and mind. This heightened mindfulness extends beyond yoga, positively impacting various aspects of your life. You’ll find yourself more composed and insightful not just during yoga sessions, but also in challenging situations at work, in personal relationships, or even in everyday frustrations like waiting for a parking spot.

Embarking on this journey can bring about a calmer, more pleasant, and wiser version of yourself. If you're ready to start, I would be pleased to accompany you on this transformative path.

Classes are aimed to provide a warm and inclusive space for students to delve into their physical and mental well-being. With careful attention to individual needs, a supportive atmosphere is created in every class.

Through a variety of poses, breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation techniques, I'll help you strengthen your body, increase flexibility, and find inner peace, empowering you to reach your fullest potential on and off the mat. In my classes, students will learn:

Proper alignment and technique in various yoga poses
Mindful breathing techniques to enhance relaxation and focus
Meditation practices to cultivate inner peace and mental clarity
Strategies for managing stress and promoting overall well-being

Led by an experienced Indian instructor, you'll have the opportunity to learn authentic yoga practices rooted in tradition and wisdom.

500-hour certified yoga instructor, lived in India (Rishikesh) for 8 months. I offer Hatha and Vinyasa classes according to your level. We can also combine it with meditation and pranayama. Online classes are also available.

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." — The Bhagavad Gita

Most meditation classes teach you to sit still and empty your mind. That's not what this is.
This class teaches meditation as a creative tool — specifically for people who make things, perform, build, and think for a living. The techniques here come from insight and manifestation practices, but I teach them through the lens of creative and technical work: how to enter a flow state deliberately, how to move through creative blocks, how to perform under pressure without freezing, and how to separate signal from noise when you're deep in a project.
I've been practicing these techniques for years alongside live performance work — combining biofeedback, live electronic music, and real-time visual systems in front of audiences. The overlap between meditation and performance is not metaphorical. Attention control, state management, and intentional focus are literal performance skills. I teach them that way.
What you'll learn:

Insight meditation: how to observe your own thought patterns without getting caught in them — essential for debugging creative blocks
Manifestation as a design tool: using structured visualisation to clarify what you're actually trying to build or create before you start
Breath and body-state techniques for entering deep focus on demand
How to use these practices before a performance, a difficult meeting, a creative session, or a period of intense output
Building a personal practice that fits around an irregular, project-driven life — not a 6am routine designed for someone else

Who this is for:
Makers, developers, designers, musicians, performers, founders, and anyone whose work requires sustained creative attention. People who've tried meditation apps and found them too passive or too generic. People who want practical tools, not spirituality.
Not for: People looking for traditional mindfulness or religious practice. This is applied technique.
Taught in: English (Dutch available)
Format: 1-on-1, we start from where you are and build a practice around your actual working life
You'll need: Nothing. Just show up.

I’m a certified RYT 500 yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance accredited, trained at Bodsphere, New Delhi under Samarthya Bhatnagar), with additional certifications in Yin Yoga and Pranayama. I’ve practiced yoga for over 10 years and have spent the past year teaching private, one-on-one sessions.
This class is fully online, live, via Google Meet — wherever you are in the world. No group, no performance, no pressure to keep up. Just you, your breath, and a practice built entirely around what your body needs that day.
My training covered anatomy, yoga philosophy, and how to work sensitively with students carrying stress, grief, or emotional weight. Yin and Pranayama deepened my understanding of breath and the slower, quieter layers of practice — which is where I feel most at home as a teacher, and where I’ll meet you too.
Whether you’re new to yoga, recovering from something, or simply looking for a calmer way to move — this space is yours.
