I am an ambitious entrepreneur, business & lifestyle coach, teacher, designer, powerful yoga fanatic, world citizen, mother of a 20 year old son, loving wife and the list goes on.

My yoga journey started when I was a kid doing lots of handstands and wheel poses. My granddad, a Hindu pundit, was very supportive, but since there were hardly any opportunities in the Netherlandsfor children to learn yoga in the early eighties I gradually forgot all about my early yoga experiences.

Until my first burn out hit me. In 2012 at age thirty-nine-and-a-half, I started practicing Bikram yoga. Although older and stiffer, I felt that my body was still capable of plying itself into advanced poses once I’d practice more. But more importantly it gave me that balance that I was seeking.

After a year I completed a 30 day challenge, practicing yoga daily for 30 consecutive days. Soon after I started extra training for the Dutch National Yoga Asana Competitions and Yoga demonstrations in my home town. 

In 2016 I decided to sell my business, a language institute and focus on my yoga journey. I have completed a 500 hr Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with yogi Kamal Singh in Rishikesh, India. I teach primarily Ashtanga Mysore Style in my own studio and practice Ashtanga primary and intermediate series on a daily basis. 

I enjoy evolving my practice and follow workshops and intensives with top yoga guru’s worldwide. I’ve trained with Govinda Kai, Kristina Karitinou, Heather Serna, Megan Riley, Kino McGregor, Petri Raisanen and Laruga Glaser
