About Me

- Besides teaching Yoga I make jewelry and accessories (eye pillows, etc) and sell these items through Etsy. However I love expanding my yoga teaching hours! This feels like sharing what I love doing most.

- During my classes I emphasize the importance of the 'Yin' aspect of moving: seeking stillness within.

- I motivate every yoga practitioner to listen to their inner teacher to be guided towards a pose that is suitable for him/her.

We had a very calm and relaxing yoga class with Merel. She is extremly nice and thoughtful. fully recommend!
Combination of Dance fitness & yoga During the class we first warm up with simple dance movements that are easy to follow. Then we raise the heart rate a little more with more active dance moves. There is no need to follow everything seamlessly; it's about moving and loosening the body. As long as the blood can flow freely: it's all about the fun! After the dance part of the class, we grab the yoga mat to start the yoga stretches and flow movements. Here too, it is not about what the postures look like, but rather about what you feel in your body! Every person is wired differently. In addition, one day we can easily get into a stretch and another day it feels less flexible. Breathing is central during this lesson, both in the dance moves and in the yoga part.

The father of modern yoga Patanjali mentioned consistency in his biography: Practice should be continuous for a long time with devotion for its firm establishment. You have to practice for a long period of time. Your practice must not be interrupted. You must do it regularly. You must do your practice with love and respect. -Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: 1.14 - Consistency is key to achieving your goals, and cultivating peace within yourself is the first step towards a fulfilling life. Let me guide you on your journey towards inner harmony. -About my class- My yoga class is breath-based hatha yoga. In the class, we use a specific breath technique to heat the body up. It is authentic, yet fun, hatha yoga. We start the basic hatha yoga practice at the beginning and then we will add some breath techniques once your body gets used to it.
