About.
I’m an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teacher and dedicated practitioner with a deep passion for self-inquiry, devotion, and the wisdom and guidance found through yoga.
​
I spent years working in the corporate world in Amsterdam, but it left me with a growing sense of emptiness and a longing to discover what lies beyond the surface of things. I began attending regular yoga classes, and over time I felt a quiet call to leave everything behind and go to India.
India opened my heart in ways I never expected. It was there that I discovered the path of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and something in me recognized it deeply. I fully immersed myself in the culture and traditions of the land, traveling extensively and studying with teachers across North and South India. I was searching for truth, for something more real than the stories I had been told about who I was. I wanted to strip away the layers of personality and ego that are so often emphasized in the West and come closer to what is our true essence, our true being.
​
Along the way I explored the practices of Hatha yoga, bhakti yoga, and the teachings of ancient Ayurveda and Indian philosophy. I have spent an extensive amount of time with my teacher in Mysore who helped deepen my understanding of the inner path that yoga offers. What began as a physical discipline became a truly devotional and spiritual journey.
​
Today I’m based in Maastricht, the Netherlands where I teach Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha yoga to the local and expat community as well as to university students. I offer both online and in-person private classes for students who seek personalized guidance on their path.
​
My teaching is rooted in tradition and centered on discipline, breath, and awareness. I invite you to explore the depth of your being.
