🎉 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.

🌸🏔️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 ❤️‍🔥
