They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

FLUID POWER — Soft power
Move beyond fixed shapes and repetition.
Flow with your breath, listen to your body, and allow movement to arise naturally. This is a yoga practice designed for our modern lives — intelligent, organic, and alive. A space to balance strength and softness, effort and ease, structure and freedom.

In these masterclasses, we explore continuous, flowing sequences, moving in waves, spirals, and circles — a meditation in motion where every transition is guided by breath. There is space for your own rhythm, your own creative flow, and the chance to connect more deeply with your body and energy. Join me: 29 March
or 19 April

Last weekend was truly amazing—a beautiful kickoff to the 300-hour Advance Your Yoga training. I had an incredible time teaching the opening module, The Roots of Flow. A heartfelt thanks to Christiana from for her delicious, nourishing Ayurvedic lunches—pure bliss.

Wishing all the students the best of luck. They showed such dedication and presence throughout our six days of training. I feel genuinely grateful to be part of their journey and am thrilled to see them exploring, enjoying, and truly owning these teachings.

Winter’s end, and spring is knocking.

I’m taking a moment to listen to the wise old ones.
In a world where we humans believe we’ve become so important —
so violent, so dominant over the Earth and all her creatures.

Take a moment.
Find a hollow tree.
Spend an hour in the tower of power.

Learn from the wise old ones who were here long before we arrived.
The trees — they are the ones who created the conditions for life.
They sustain our atmosphere so we can breathe.

They have roots.
They have patience.
The ultimate meditators.

Om.

SMART YOGA - I’m happy to share my work at the beautiful and spacious . I’m really looking forward to introducing this safe yet transformative approach to yoga to the community.

On February 28, we begin with PRANA! — a workshop focused on awakening the life force through breath-led movement and energetic awareness, helping you feel more alive and connected from the inside out. On March 29, FLUID POWER explores intelligent, organic flow — moving in spirals and waves, discovering strength through softness and adaptability. Then on April 24, our candlelit MOON FLOW ritual invites you to slow down and reconnect with the calming, healing qualities of lunar energy through gentle movement, breath, and sound.

From May 29–31, I’ll offer the SMART YOGA Weekend Training, a weekend intensive for students and teachers who want to go deeper. We’ll explore the S.M.A.R.T. principles in a practical and embodied way, so you not only understand yoga more clearly, but truly integrate it into daily life and teaching.

I’m looking forward to practicing together in Veenendaal and sharing this new chapter of Smart Yoga with you.

HEART FIRE - there may be a part of you that longs for a spiritual practice that feels real — something you can sense in your body, your breath, your heart. Not distant or abstract, but alive, intimate, and true to who you are.

I invite you into Heart Fire, a one-day retreat that draws you beyond the outer forms of yoga and into direct experience. Through movement, breath, sacred sound, and ritual, you are guided into a living practice that awakens the spiritual heart and reconnects you with the inner fire that brings depth, passion, and meaning to life.

As the day unfolds, dynamic morning practices help you soften layers of tension, protection, and holding, allowing energy to move freely and awareness to naturally settle into the heart. Sacred sound and mantra are woven throughout the journey, not as performance, but as vibration — something you feel rather than do — calling the scattered parts of yourself back into coherence.

We close with a heart-centred fire ritual, where movement, voice, and intention merge in shared resonance. Held in Amsterdam during Valentine's weekend, this day is an invitation to turn the energy of love inward — to experience it as living fire, presence, and devotion within the heart.

The heart fire is already burning. This day is an invitation to feel it (link in bio).

NEWSLETTER - This winter I feel a deep call to share yoga as a living, breathing path of love and connection. Everything I’m offering is about moving, opening, and letting your heart lead the way.

We’ll dive into the HEARTFIRE Ritual Retreat Da , a one-day journey into heart activation and ecstatic practice, and the ROOTS of FLOW training , where prana, alignment, and the intelligence of the body come alive. I’ll also be teaching a SMART Yoga Weekend Training and three SMART Yoga workshops  bringing clarity, groundedness, and embodied awareness into every movement.

Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practising for years, these offerings are an invitation to step fully into your body, your breath, and your heart, to feel connection in every moment, and to let your practice ripple out into life.

Curious to see how we’ll move, open, and awaken together this season? 📌 Check the full newsletter via the link in bio.

It was deeply beautiful to bring the Sweet Surrender year-end retreat back to - I’ve been offering this retreat for six years now, and yet this time something truly shifted. What became crystal clear to me is this: at its core, the entire yoga system is a remembering — a return to the heart.

This edition felt different. Less about doing, more about devotion. Less about technique, more about truth. We sang, chanted, breathed, and moved together. In that shared space, something subtle but powerful emerged — a collective field of openness and heartfelt connection. For me, it marked the beginning of a new chapter.

For many years, I’ve been exploring how to bring more bhakti (devotion), prema (love), and moksha (inner freedom) into the yoga spaces I work in — not as ideas, but as lived experience in the body and the breath. Much preparation and inner work has gone into this, and now the moment feels ripe. I feel a deep inner fire to share this grounded path of the heart. It is a calling I can no longer ignore.

On 15 February, I will offer the HeartFire — 1 Day Soul Activation Retreat at ; an invitation into heart opening through movement and breath, embodied devotion, ritual, and deep connection with yourself and the collective field.

In the coming months, an Ecstatic HeartFire ritual will follow, and registration will open soon for my Heart of Yoga Training in October at DNYS. For now, stay tuned. Details and newsletter sign-up via the link in my bio.

Wishing you a beautiful Old and New Year’s Eve. Let’s make 2025 the Year of the Heart. Let Love Rule.
