About me

​Who am I? What is my purpose in life?
​Questions that came up in me from an early age. I had the feeling that the universe had something else in mind for me. It still took me many years to finally admit to myself that I couldn't live the life I was living. Until I reached the point that my fire slowly burned out, and I fell very deep. I see now that I needed to fall so far in order to wake up, to see the light. I started traveling and discovered other ways of living that sparked my heart.
​
Yoga came on my path and changed my life. When I was on my mat, I finally allowed myself to be myself, to accept my body, to fully feel my emotions, to be in my heart and just be. And from that moment on I knew I couldn't go back to my life in the Netherlands.

I needed to follow the spark that I felt in my heart, the feeling of finally being alive. I travelled more and lived in a beautiful spiritual community in Sweden, a place that for the first time felt like home.

Yoga became my daily practice, my way of living. I fell in love with Traditional Hatha Yoga, a practice rooted in the heart, so much more than a physical practice. And I felt that I wanted to share this with the world because it brought me back to life, and back home into my heart.

I completed two Hatha Yoga teacher trainings and started teaching in my community in Sweden. I now live in Australia beside the Sea and Sacred Mother Mountain, Gulaga, blessed with an amazing community.

When life is flowing and I follow my heart, I know I am doing the right thing. And at this point in my life, this is exactly where I need to be. I am looking forward to meeting you on the mat and sharing my practice from my heart with you. Know that you are welcome as you are, you are perfect. ​

Vision

Warm Heart Hatha Yoga provides a safe and loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and carefully listen to what it wants to share with you.

​Coming back home and living from your heart.
​
​Slowly peeling off the layers and coming back to your true nature, who you truly are from deep inside.

What is behind my Logo?
On the left side of my body, close to my heart, there is a tattoo of the unalome in combination with the root chakra. My logo is inspired from this. I decided to get this tattoo in a difficult time of my life. it reminds me that that life can be pretty messy (start  of the unalome), our life path is never straight but full of ups and downs (windy path). Then, at some point, you accept what is and connect with peace and calmness inside (little dot). The root chakra reminds me that i'm safe, that there is a place for me in this world and that it's safe to be in my body.  

At this time creating my logo it felt right to change the root chakra for the heart chakra. As over the years I  have come home into my heart. First I needed to be in my body, to be able to find my way home. 
​
The yoga I share is a practice from the heart. We reconnect with our wholeness, knowing that we are perfect just as we are, that nothing needs to be changed.

Fear
"It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean."
- Kahlil Gibran
