1:1 yoga, meditation & stretching sessions in the comfort of your own home

Besides the physical practice I love to help people to build a deeper connection with themselves and others. Thats why I also offer (white) tantra practice in groups or for couples.

Yoga for everyone! (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and Meditation, Breathing Exercises)
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.

Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga classes in Amsterdam
Yogash citta vrtti nirodha 'Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.' Patanjali, Yoga Sutras I am a Vinyasa Yoga teacher based in Amsterdam. My yoga journey started ten years ago. Back in the days, I was finishing my Master Degree in Business and had to cope with a lot of stress. Yoga helped me to remain focused and grounded towards the new challenges I was facing. It truly brought balance into my life and helped me to smoothly adjust to these changes. Not only does yoga keep you fit. It goes way beyond the physical practice and impacts all aspects of our daily life. Yoga reminds us how to breathe and how significant self-love and acceptance are. Yoga teaches us how to find peace and comfort in the uncomfortable. Yoga soothes the mind and creates space for continuous growth and expansion. Yoga is a gift, 'the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.' That is why I decided to become a yoga teacher, to be able to share this expanding experience with others and guiding them to find their inner teacher. I can't wait to meet you on the mat! Namaste,

YogaBody Style: Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, Yin-Yang, Breath Work.
I believe that every body is highly individual, we all have different bone structures, different lifestyles, different needs. Therefore, personalized yoga is most beneficial. Yoga styles and intensity varies from Power Yoga to Yin-Yang. It really depends what your body and mind needs. It could be flexibility, strength or help to manage anxiety by breath work. Well, yoga could have many benefits for the body if we know how to use it, because, let's be honest, the same pose that can heal can hurt as well. If you have doctor's recommendation for yoga, or you want to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, loose weight? Or perhaps you just curious about yoga? Let me know. I look forward to meet you!

Society and the Political Economy: Law, War, History and Philosophy
Vincent Van Gogh once said something to the effect that greatness is a series of little things coming together, Emile Durkheim the great French sociologist first 'coined', "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" and Montesquieu conceived of laws in relation to climate. What do all of these have to do with each other? The fact that the interpretation and understanding of one of the realms of socio-political knowledge is not enough to either understand that single discipline of study whether it be Law, History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology or Philosophy- you cannot separate any from the whole and be able to understand the Short, Nasty,BrutishTM nature that reality is and that conditions human life. While my studies and work have nigh been exclusively related to Law, my interests which pushed me there were/are seemingly very different. Through my experience I may humbly submit that the the perspectives that each discipline approaches problems with are crucial in solving very distinct "linguistic" problems within their specific paradigms. They however are victims of dogma as is academia in general it would be fair to say. Living in the times we do, it is not only necessary as a basic informational issue but as an issue of responsible citizenry, young adults must be well educated about the political economy. Whether you're looking to study and/or are currently studying and/or want to learn about any of the aforementioned subjects whether in conjunction with current coursework and/or assignments, or if you're just interested and would like to learn about a specific period in time, this is for you.
