Born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands - yoga has not been very accessible, but I was always very interested in this poetic form of movement. In 2000 I arrived in Portland OR - somewhat cultured shocked, and starting to explore my new ways of life. I found sanctuary in the practice of yoga that brought calmness as well as confidence in my everyday life. In 2007, I graduated for Teacher Training in Power Vinyasa flow and ever since love sharing this with all my students. 

During the daytime a desk jockey - and enjoy teaching after office hours. Through this background I understand how the body positively reacts through movement to release tightness after long hours of immobile sitting positions. My classes are focused on strength and mobility through flow - with a few select challenging poses that are optional and to the discretion to each student. Expect a complete body workout when taking class!
