Reinier has started practicing yoga in 2003. After years of led classes in various styles of yoga, the authentic ashtanga yoga fascinated him completely and in 2009 he became a dedicated practitioner of the traditional ashtanga yoga method. In 2010 Reinier did his teacher training with Claudia Pradella, who already was his teacher before that time and still is one of his main teachers. Reinier started teaching yoga in 2010. First as a part-time teacher beside a job as chartered accountant, but in an organic way this has grown to a full-time job since 2012. In that period Reinier did his first workshop with Petri Räisänen, who became a source of inspiration with a gentle and senior approach of Ashtanga yoga. In 2015 Reinier became part of the teaching team of Petri Räisänen. Reinier is Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher (E-RYT 500). In the classes of Reinier you will be taken by his knowledge of Ashtanga yoga and passion for it.
