~Thoughts from the mat~

How much are you REALLY listening to your body?

As I finish to teach another Monday evening class, something strikes me again. Are my students coming up in a seated position at the end of the class because I've guided them there, because they see others doing it or because it is REALLY what they need right now?

The pressure to follow & do like others in a Yoga class is not unknown. But how much are we actually aware of it?

If it happens on the mat, it happens in life. Social pressure, following, doing because "that's how we do it".
I spent my entire life questioning this. So that's no surprise I bring these questions to the mat as well, in my own practice but also in my teaching.

Here is what I bring to the mat, hoping this will reach my students:
"Do what feels good for you now"
"No rush to do anything"
"Allow yourself to be weird"

Because the best moments I've seen in classes is when each of my students are doing something different. Then I KNOW...they are listening to themselves.
And this feels like the biggest win for me as a teacher.

In 2026, we're not reinventing anything. We just keep doing what works.

These themes are here to guide you in your practice, whether it is in-person on Bonaire or online via the Yoga Life Lab.

Each sequence & practice is carefully curated to ensure that you find options for yourself while making the practice more than just movement on the mat.

Because I know that your practice is more than just moving your body.
It is your weekly break, your daily support & your own way to connect with yourself ๐Ÿงก

See you on the mat, online or on Bonaire.

Welcome to your 2026 Yoga schedule.
All classes are suitable for every level, taught in small groups of max 10 students so you receive personal attention, clear guidance & a practice that truly respects your needs, goals & challenges.

With 5 years of teaching experience, I make sure every student practices in a way that supports their body, helps them listen to themselves & builds a Yoga practice that feels good in their life โ€” not just on the mat.
