‘Prana’ yoga lessons – Amsterdam

Prana yoga lessons

Learn to be more present in your complete body and listen to what it tells you

We work a lot with conscious breathing, the first and the last we will do in this life.

An hour filled with exercises with nice music, alternate effort and relaxation, bring you to a different state of consciousness.

A peaceful feeling, the experience of space and more synergy between thinking, feeling and doing will be the result.

I graduated in Work- and Neuropsychology. I love psychology, philosophy, arts (especially painting), survival training and, of course, Yoga. I worked with many different groups, in many different ways, in many different settings the last 30 years. In my life I have always been able to follow my passions. I am very grateful to be so blessed. At this moment my passion is to spread my knowledge of yoga and to work with colleague teachers. I work as yoga teacher, dialogue-facilitator, coach, trainer and psychologist.
