Love is the perception of individuals. Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real.
Iris Murdoch
I grew up in a small village by the Mediterranean — lots of sun, salt, and strong community ties. I got into yoga at 19 in a rainy Dutch city as I moved for my studies. I had too much energy and a hunger to discover the world… same as now. Developing my practice has helped me channel my efforts to the right place and find tools to calibrate my inside so I can see clearly outside.
Since then, movement’s been my anchor and my playground. I’ve trained in vinyasa yoga, barre and pilates, with teachers like Simon Park, Abby Galvin, Janet Stone, and more. I teach regularly in Amsterdam’s busiest studios and occasionally organize workshops and retreats, give private classes and participate in corporate health events.
I am also a design director and a civics researcher, so my movement practice has always helped me expand the abilities of what I can do. It makes me free, it makes me fun, it stretches my imagination. Hence, I cannot not recommend it more. You should try!
