🎉 So many new followers 💕 so let’s share some things about me💫

👱🏻‍♀️🇳🇱 I’m Marjolein, 35 yrs🦁 and moved about a year ago to 🇨🇭 to be with my handsome 🇹🇷 man😌🥰.

🧘🏼‍♀️I’ve been practicing yoga for over 15 yrs and started in 2015 with a 2yrs TTC which I did for myself as I was depressed, empty & searching for the deeper meaning of life. NEVER thought of teaching or such as I was way too shy & this just wasn’t on my to do list😅

📚From there I fully merged myself into the world of yoga and studied without a break intensely for 4+ yrs Vedanta, got to know some Sanskrit while studying with oa Swamini 🙏🏼, did specialisations in Ayurveda, Mantra singing, MBSR training, being trauma informed & ACT coaching.

🪷I’m all for authenticity and respecting the traditions as they are. Yet I’m fully present in the Western world and my role is like a bridge. Sharing the practices in a clear and grounded way. I’ve been ‘flowy’ for a while during my intensive Sadhana times, which gave me a lot! But I also saw the ‘dark side’ of the spiritual ‘realm’, a lot of bypassing and misuse, so I feel a responsibility of highlighting such things. You are always the one who has all wisdom inside and you should never rely on anything/anyone outside of you✌🏼.

🥳 I’m someone who always does things fully, which caused me quite the life lessons, broken hearts and such, but also gave me incredible highs & unforgettable moments ✨

💛I’m rooted in how to start all over again😅 and feel a deep desire/call to dive deeper into this in my coaching. I’m a guidance for woman in their 30ies, who’ve been through heartbreak, loss & questioning how to live from their feminine authentic strength & softness 🔥💧

🏔️I’ve always been obsessed with 🏔️. YAMA means (as well) mountain in Japanese and the logo for Studio YAMA was designed with a ⛰️ . It’s like 🧩 pieces falling together that I end up in the country of 🏔️ and nature🌿😍

🧘🏼‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️I’m all about the intensive practices (practicing Ashtanga since 2017, very intens for 5 yrs), but also practice the gentle forms. Which to my belief are needed both ☯️

❓Doesn’t fit more for now, but feel free to ask your questions!

So excited to be back next week in the Netherlands! I will be visiting my dear friends & family and of course I’m so excited to be teaching 2 classes back in 🪷

The classes that I will give will be a gentle reminder of how to step (back) into that softness yet resilient power we all carry within.

✨ Saturday | 19.00-20.00 | a guided meditation surrounded by soft lights and water projections. The class is held when all visitors of the exhibition of have left and the peace & quietness has returned.

✨ Sunday | 8.45-9.45 | Before the exhibition starts we will have a yoga flow class with a sequence tuned in with the element water.

Tessel’s paintings are soft yet resembling strength, reminding us of ourselves and how related we are with nature. Her dedication of mindful creativity is felt in her work. That’s why it seemed such a nice opportunity to share the practice while being surrounded by her beautiful work. And as it is the space where Studio YAMA used to be it just made it all even more special 😊✨

All information can be found on my website.

Looking forward seeing you 🙏🏼✨

🌸🏔️YAMA🏔️🌸

Started in 2019 as a physical studio in Rotterdam at this lovely place . Sharing my love & passion for yoga, mindfulness & coaching in a grounded way with a lot of care for personal guidance & development.

It was a space for community and my heart was full during all those tea moments, workshops, trainings & ceremonies that we held space for.

I’ve been sharing the practice of yoga since 2015 and from there developed as a mindfulness trainer & ACT coach. I’ve been studying Vedanta ever since and kept myself busy with Ayurveda and later specialised in the therapeutic aspects of yoga/mindfulness & trauma.

Since last year I moved to Switzerland and in a way I’m starting all over again, only I’m not. I feel that the name YAMA is so suiting as the base of experience and knowledge is grounded. I’m building from a steady foundation and what I love to share the most of ‘how to be grounded, self aware & confident’ is fully present.

I’m teaching yoga here in Uster & Zürich and soon a new place where I will also start again with private classes. Soon I hope to guide again in trainings and coaching as where I’m at my best.

Sharing knowledge of who we are, what are roles are, embracing the feminine and masculine & how to live from an authentic place.

✨Slow down & start to listen

How can we truly be in touch with our core, our hearts, when we never stop to truly listen? When we are always doing, keeping our minds occupied & busy the deeper connection will be more difficult to reach.

It’s the ‘practice’ of regularly slowing down & doing less that helps us nourish the soil of listening and tuning in with whats needed instead of always wanted.

A few moments per day where you check out with all that you’re doing and tune in with your body, allowing yourself to observe your thoughts and being ‘just’ present is all it takes to (re)build the connection to your core, your heart.

From a place of connection actually everything makes sense, it gives clarity in what to do, who you are & whats meant or not.

Allow time to be your best friend, Mother Nature to be your guide & your heart the source of all wisdom. Yes we need each other for learning, growing and evolving, but never in a dependency.

Slow down so you can listen to whom you ‘need’ on your journey and start to trust more on that fiery, powerful inner voice which knows ❤️‍🔥

Beautiful life 💛🌻

“We’re all spiritual beings having an human experience.”

Our time in the Netherlands was long, too short, busy, hectic & the most valuable thing ever. Spending time with my dear friends who’ve become mums (or about to🥹) & their beautiful kids, being back at De Achtertuin and our YAMA community 🥰 my dad turning 75 & the loss of a dear family member. To not live close to my family & friends anymore makes me more aware to be fully present when there and make our time together count even more ❤️

Life is raw, unpredictable, chaotic, challenging, beautiful, sweet & o so lovely all at once. In the normality of daily life we can easily forget about it, but in the end it’s all there is, being present, being kind, being aware of ourselves, our actions and reactions to our environments.

Live & love life 💛🌻

💫May you be reminded of your strength
✨May you recognise your courage & resilience
💛May you be filled with love & light

From Vedic perspective a new year starts with your date of birth, which makes so much sense. It’s a beautiful moment to review your year and set intentions for the year to come.

If we look from natures perspective (and still many cultures use this) spring is the start of a new year, which makes sense as the cycle of nature literally begins again after a period of retreat.

Today we are adjusted to having the end of the year in December and as many are closing down the year with work, having time off and holidays it also makes sense to take a look back and give it space & attention.

No matter the moment of reviewing & setting intentions, let us be reminded to be kind to ourselves. Any moment to look back is a moment to give attention and care. And let us be reminded that it ain’t always rainbows & unicorns. Life was never meant to be like that, so let’s acknowledge, embrace & celebrate it in the ways we’re able to, can & like to.

Trust in your divine power and light, you got it💫✨🫶🏼

WINTERVIBESSSSSSSS ❄️🩵🤗

Maybe it’s the fresh Swiss alps air or that I’m spending it with the most incredible handsome sweet sexy man (FIANCÉ) aliveeeee 😍❤️

Happy, grateful and excited like a little kid! And that from someone who never really liked winter, cold and Xmas. But I’m feeling it now, let’s put up the 🎄, get some hot chocolate and get all cozy inside 🥰. Maybe it’s the age as well that I’m starting to find these things now super exciting? 🤷🏼‍♀️😆

Anyone else feeling the winter vibes too?!

Never stop reaching for that which truly enlightens your whole heart, soul & being 💛✨

There’s a sparkle in each and one of us that guides us in our paths and life’s. It becomes stronger, warmer and brighter when we do what we love the most. It fills up our whole being when we step into our own place and fulfil the roles we have to fulfil in our lives.

Let us be reminded of this ‘true path’, this spark that’s there to remind us of who we are & what we came to do here. Let us be reminded of that immense power each and one of us hold. The strength of moving mountains and that softness that holds our hearts open for everyone.

You gotta work for it, no one else will do it for you (neither they should), so do it, claim your rightful place, take your responsibility, work together in our communities, keep reaching and never stop believing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Being back teaching yoga, creating space for healing and using my creative mind again to set up and building community I notice in my whole being how much I missed it and how much its a part of me.

It’s like a part of me has had its wintersleep, but now fully awake and energised again. Things are so clear and last night I had the most interesting and clear dream of an immense house with ancient looking beautiful high windows, like a glasshouse in a way. It used to be a solarium where huge trees and plants were growing wild and free. I came into this huge empty house, and felt I had to return it to its previous state, filed with plants, trees, flowers and life. And so in my dream with many others we started to plant seeds and gather as a collective. There were talks, daily life and community living.

I know that this feeling, this knowing from deep within stands for my dharma and I’m more than ever right back on top of it! Great things take time, just like in the dream, someone said, but those big trees, to get them back, takes ages! Why and where even to begin?! I didn’t mind and said we have to do it anyway.

And so it may look that what we do has no effect or take too long for us to care, but I’m filled with hope that nevertheless we should do it, we should give it time, hope and care. Most of all, we should care and never stop believing in the power of collectiveness.

🤍
