Profile information


Description
I am a yoga teacher based in Amsterdam. I have been teaching yoga for six years in studios and yoga retreat centres in Europe. I love travelling and I love the sun and warmth. For this time coming up I would like to be of service and make a positive contribution towards taking care of the environment and a local community. I also look forward to meeting people that I can learn from and I hope we can inspire each other. I am energetic, committed to 'do the job' and people often tell me they like my light hearted and positive presence.
What I love about yoga retreats, is that we live and work together in a community. Every week I meet new people from around the world and it is such a beautiful thing that we are able to connect to each other. The retreat places I teach are run by people who try to live in harmony with nature as much as possible and actively look for ways they can do that more. I love the remote life for several months every year. (One of those retreats is 'Vale de Moses' - a host on workaway)
