A few years ago, I felt a deep inner calling to travel to India — the land of my ancestors. It was there that I met my teacher, a true yogic master of the traditional Vedic path. Under his guidance, yoga became more than just a practice—it became a way of life.

​I lived in India for several months, immersing myself in the traditional teachings of Vedic Yoga, and I now return regularly to continue my training and deepen my personal practice.

 

My path didn’t begin here, though. I grew up in the Netherlands with parents from Suriname.

As a child, I was a highly sensitive soul with a vivid inner world — always feeling all the feelings and quietly questioning life. I began gymnastics at seven — it taught me discipline and strength, but also anchored me in doing, performance and striving -  an external pursuit rather than an inner journey. In time, I came to see that what I was truly seeking wasn’t more achievement, but deeper connection — and that journey, too, was part of what led me to the path of Yoga.

 

My teaching is grounded in presence, not performance or perfection. I guide others to reconnect with themselves through ancient yogic practices such as:

​

• Kriya Kundalini Yoga

• Hatha Yoga

• Mantra chanting

• Breath-work (Pranayama)

• Meditation and stillness practices

​

These traditional practices are just as powerful and transformative today as they were thousands of years ago.

​

For me, yoga is not just what happens on the mat — it’s how we carry its wisdom into daily life. Before I am a teacher, I am a practitioner. I teach only what I’ve experienced and what continues to support me in living with more awareness, clarity, and connection.

​

I feel it is my Dharma (life’s purpose) to bring back what got lost along the way— the still, sacred space where body, energy and soul align. That is why I share traditional Vedic yoga: to awaken consciousness, raise your energy frequency, and guide you back into connection — to your Source, your true nature.

​

If you're searching for a yoga class rooted in tradition that will empower you and bring you back to your essential nature, I welcome you with an open heart.
