Yoga

I see yoga as 'meditation with movement'. I started yoga when I was studying to become a psychologist, and realised that the inner process offered by yoga was a personal complement to the theoretical knowledge offered by my university course. Yoga helps you to develop physical, emotional and energetic levels. You can be aware of these aspects simultaneously or one by one. A crucial aspect of yoga is that you make progress by relaxing, not by putting yourself under pressure.

In Amsterdam I received and gave lessons in the Sai Mithra Yoga Centre. Nowhere else - not even in India - have I found a teaching style which is so well-balanced and appropriate in today's hectic society. The sessions provide a unique combination of hatha yoga asanas (body positions), awareness of energy flows, meditation, enhanced consciousness and relaxation.

The form of yoga which I practise is called "Transformational Yoga", and was developed by Ganga Hoogendoorn. It has been enriching my life for more than fifteen years. In general terms this form of yoga has been my inspiration for the form which I now practise as an instructor.

Experiences and notions manifest themselves in your body, self-image, relationships and behaviour. Transformation refers in the main to the transition from fear to love. I could say a lot more about this, but that would be going too far here. If you're interested, I can recommend some books or tell you more about it personally.
