I started my yoga journey with a strong Sivananda Yoga practice and I am a lover and teacher of Hatha Yoga to this day, calling the sun salutations and 12 basic postures my home.

​

At first it was the physical practice I needed, to find the connection to my body after years of not really noticing and paying attention to this body of mine. It felt amazing to build strength and flexibility and see into what and how my body can be shaped.

Also I was a big fan of Savasana, right from the start! As a mother of 2 little ones, a husband who traveled frequently and living far from my family, I cherished those undisturbed minutes of relaxation, yes, often fell asleep, and was lucky to have a teacher who never cut it short!

​

In 2011 I decided to take the Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training. An intense training of 4 weeks, living at the Ashram, doing the practices, learning the why behind the how and deepening my personal practice with baby-steps towards how to take the yoga off the mat. This should become my biggest challenge in the years to come AND my big vision: To take your time on the mat, this time to simply be and whenever the time is right to also take the yoga off the mat and start integrating all those wonderful tools into daily life. And the balancing act never stops, it is an ongoing journey and constantly changing.
