In order to get the most out of your private and group yoga sessions, I recommend you purchase:
2 Yoga blocks (per person)
Yoga strap (for private clients only)
Live in Breda? I have blocks for sale for €10 per set. Email me if you would like to purchase some.
To make the classes extra fun, I’d love to incorporate a wall into some of the classes. You don’t need a lot of space… just a YOU-sized spot on the wall (or door) and the mat in front of it.
Have trouble sleeping? In this tutorial, we will work legs up the wall, a simple and effective pose for improving the health of your feet and knees, and for calming the nervous system. I’ve found this pose works wonders if my brain is running 1,000 miles a minute and I need to wind down before bedtime.
Try it out and let me know what you think!

Yoga is a fantastic way for families to bond while promoting physical and mental health. Practicing yoga together fosters a sense of connection, teamwork, and fun. Here are a few simple practices to get started with your little ones.
Start with gentle stretches like seated forward folds or cat-cow poses. Encourage your kids to mirror your movements to make it interactive and engaging. Add playful elements like pretending to be animals for extra fun.
Partner poses are a great way to build trust and connection. Try the double downward dog or the partner tree pose. These poses not only improve balance and flexibility but also promote teamwork.
Teach your kids simple breathing exercises like belly breathing or alternate nostril breathing. These practices can help them regulate emotions and build mindfulness skills.
End the session with a short relaxation practice. Lie down together, close your eyes, and listen to calming music. This quiet time helps everyone unwind and reflect.
By integrating yoga into your family’s routine, you can nurture a shared love for movement and mindfulness. It’s not about perfection—it’s about enjoying the journey together.
This ideal camera set up as a yogi.
The “ideal" set up >>>
One device (phone or laptop) logged into Zoom *camera on/microphone on*, set across the room so I can see you while you are sitting or standing. (See photo above.)
This will allow me to see all of you so I can share additional alignment cues as we move through the postures.
Another device (laptop plugged into tv with HDMI, or phone connected to tv through airplay) logged into Zoom *camera off/sound not connected*.
This will project Zoom on to your tv so you can see your team members and me on a larger screen.
If this 2-device set up is not possible for you, no worries… set up in your standard e-meeting way. These are just tips I’ve picked up teaching online these last few months.
We will be using Zoom.us for the video classes. For your first class, please try to log in a few minutes early to make sure there are no delays. You will be able to access the classes from your smartphone or your computer. When you join the meeting, please mute yourself, so there is no feedback.
Today we worked on:
+balance
+opening the shoulders
+decompressing the spine
+strengthening the shoulders and arms in down dog
+showed our hands and wrists some love
+spinal extension and rotation in reading pose & favorite twist
While this class is simple enough for beginners, if you are new to these postures, it can feel VERY sensational! Please be sweet to yourself, ease off the poses, come out early. Know that this is what having a healthy body feels like... It won't happen overnight, but if you continue at it little by little, you will feel dramatically different next year! :) Excited for you to join me on this ever-evolving online journey!

Shoulders feeling tight? In this tutorial, I will demonstrate a shoulder stretch on the wall. We will open up the front of the shoulders, and you will feel a nice stretch from your fingers all the way up into your neck.
This is a spicy one (especially if you spend most of your day typing away on the computer - yikes!), so be sweet to yourself and ease into the pose.
3:18 - Here I mentioned this was “internal rotation” of the arm bones… I misspoke; it’s actually external rotation!
Let me know what you think of this position. Feel free to share this video with friends and loved ones!

Mindfulness is the art of being present, and yoga is one of the most effective ways to cultivate it. Here’s how yoga promotes mindfulness and inner peace:
Yoga links breath with movement, encouraging you to stay present in the moment. Each pose becomes an opportunity to tune into your body and emotions.
Focusing on your breath during yoga cultivates mindfulness. Techniques like ujjayi breathing help anchor your awareness, calming the mind and reducing distractions.
Flowing through poses creates a moving meditation. This dynamic approach to mindfulness can be especially helpful for those who struggle with traditional seated meditation.
Yoga fosters acceptance and self-compassion. As you practice, you learn to let go of judgment and embrace the present moment, creating a sense of inner peace.
Yoga is a pathway to mindfulness that’s accessible to everyone. It’s not about perfect poses—it’s about finding harmony within yourself.
