Yoga has become a way of life for me. In my early twenties I discovered that yoga helps me feel strong and calm in times of stress, worries and overstimulation. As soon as I notice that I am being carried away by the issues of the day and the craziness of the world, it is time for more yoga. For me, yoga means: being, feeling, awareness, movement, time for myself, effort and relaxation, pleasure and peace. In addition, the exercises keep my mind and body strong and flexible.
In 2014 I started taking teacher training courses and I am a certified teacher for 550 hours. Since 2016 I have taught at various gyms, yoga studios and in the great outdoors. From the beginning I have had a great love for the dynamic Power and Asthanga yoga. As I got older I wanted to alternate this with other forms of yoga. That is why I have also delved into Vinyasa yoga, Prana yoga, Yin yoga and Restorative yoga. I received my first training in India. Then in the Netherlands with Johan Noorloos, Daphne Koken and Simon Rowe. Shiva Rea and Mirjam Wagner are a great source of inspiration for me. In a yogapractice I mainly pay attention to breathing and body-awareness. Being in the here and now. Being instead of thinking. Feeling instead of doing. Honouring the available energy.
Namasté, Susan
