Impressions of the classes in the camino de Santiago

No fixed schedule at the moment/ classes on request

Did you meet a special group of friends in your camino and want to end your camino in a special way? Write for more info about a conscious connected breathwork journey together with your friends. This style of breathwork can create as state of expanded consciousness which can help in processing (subconcious) emotional blocks. Our breathing pattern tells us a lot about how we generally feel. As a breathing coach I help clients get to know themselves better, support them in processing mental and emotional blockages and promote their physical condition. More info: Breathwork

My yoga classes find place in Langosteira or Mar the Fora beach or at Enredando and are SIGN UP ONLY at the beach because of the yogamats. Yoga classes are planned according to the schedule below, but can also be requested individually or for a group. Please send me a message if you have any questions. I teach and am trained in himalayan kriya and breathwork, Sivananda/ hatha yoga, Ashtanga vinyasa and or yin yoga (based on the wisdom of Chinese medicine). 

The challenge of modern life is to find the balance between your inner warrior and the Buddha within. Take on those things you can change and accept those things you have no influence on. This workshop is if you are looking for that heart connection and at the same time want to find strength and confidence in yourself. We call it a journey because it is an integrated practice of different aspects of yoga. We alternate meditation, pranayama, asana, chi movements, kundalini kriyas and mantra accompanied by music. The effect can be healing on all levels of your being: spiritual, emotional, soothing to your nervous system, energetically, physically and mentally.

I followed a breathwork facilitator training in South Afrika that is focused on conscious connected breathwork. This style of breathwork can create as state of expanded consciousness which can help in processing (subconcious) emotional blocks. Our breathing pattern tells us a lot about how we generally feel. As a breathing coach I help clients get to know themselves better, support them in processing mental and emotional blockages and promote their physical condition.

As a mindfulness teacher I will lead you through several meditations that are combined with deeply reflecting on your camino de Santiago. The class takes place at the beach and is a wonderful way to connect and share with other pilgrims.

Thich Nhat Hahn Style mindful walking

This is a workshop that teaches you stress release exercises to create a tremor that helps the body to come back to a state of balance. I use tension release therapy with the body when stress en trauma is present. Trauma is an unfinished impression from the past. Your body has not been able to complete the fight/flight/freeze response and now the impression of the event is stuck in your body. As a result, you continue to live partly in the past. Trauma Release Therapy is one of the methods I use to help people shake off the past. Quite literally in this case. Without all that luggage in your backpack you are more able to correctly asses what is happening in the here and now (am I safe or is there a real threat? Instead of going strait into a survival state) and enjoy the here and now in a state of relaxation.

Group session to do reiki exchange with other level 1-3 practitioners.

Most of our psychological problems come from our patterns in relationship to ourselves and others. Learn about the basic ideas of schematherapy like parent, child and coping modes. Get an idea about what your schema’s are. After this workshop you will understand your negative life patterns and struggles at a deeper level. This understanding can help to change these patterns on the long term.

This is a two day course that can be requested for in Fisterra. Please find more information at energy work on this website.

I am a fan and practicioner of Osho active meditations like nadahbrahma, no dimensions, kundalini meditation, dynamic meditation, chakra breathing meditation and so on…

Yoga all levels

My Experience & Education with yoga

Education:  Since 2016 I have followed around 1200 hours of yoga teacher trainings in a variation of styles: Himalayan kundalini kriya and conscious connected breathwork, Hatha yoga (Sivananda based), Ashtanga and vinyasa flow, Yin yoga (Jo Phee style), TRE and Trauma sensitive yoga.

In 2016 I have followed a Yoga Teacher Training in Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow (200hr Yoga Alliance ).

Later I followed a second teacher training in Hatha yoga (200 hr Yoga Alliance), Sivananda inspired at the Arhanta ashram in India in 2018.

In 2020 I followed a chinese medicine & yin yoga teacher training in the Netherlands with Marieke vliegen, yinspiration trainer and senior assistant of Jo Phee. Later that year I followed a training for yoga classes specialised in trauma. 

In March 2023 I followed a 200 hour teacher training in Himalayan kundalini kriya and breathwork.

In March 2024 I followed a 200 hour Umoya breathwork facilitator training in South Afrika. This is focused on conscious connected breathwork, very similar to the transformational breathwork, but more focused on consciousness and allowing.

At the end of 2024 I followed a 300 hour teacher training course in Himalayan kundalini yoga in India.

I also go back to Rishikesh (India) quite frequently to practice with different yoga teachers like Surinder Singh among others. 

I also practice and have followed education in TRE (Tension and Trauma release exercises) that incorporates the polyvagal theory.

Experience: I have been teaching yoga since 2016 and have about 100 hours teaching experience in hatha yoga (Sivananda style), ashtanga inspired vinyasa flow and yin /restorative yoga and himalayan kundalini kriya and breathwork.

Where did I teach so far?

The beach in Fisterra: At the moment I teach yoga at the beach in Fisterra. I have been doing this since 2019.

Mental health care & Addiction care: I also taught classes to clients of Serenity GGZ (addiction care) and the U-CENTER, a clinic where people find intensive inpatient treatment for depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma and personality problems.

Yoga  studio’s & retreat centers: I have also have been teaching at La Crisalida, a yoga and detox retreat-center in Spain where I worked as a as a health and wellbeing mentor for some months. In addition to this I was teaching in Guatemala to visitors of the Yoga Forest and La Paz hostel in Guatemala and the yoga studio “Klooster Simpelveld Yoga Body & Mind” in the Netherlands.

Albergues in the camino & campings: I also taught many classes in an Albergue called Monte Irago and at Albuerge Sol y Lua in Fisterra, to pilgrims who were walking the camino de Santiago de Compostella. Since I live a van I also teach at some campsites when there is enough interest.

MINDFULNESS

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally,” says Kabat-Zinn. “It’s about knowing what is on your mind.”

The meditaiton classes I teach are inspired by zenmaster Thich Nhath Hahn, Osho, Jon Kabat Zinn and Mark Williams (MBCT & MBSR) . In this class we will discuss some theory’s about mindfulness and practice. Also there will be space to share and reflect on your camino. Now and then I organise a walking meditation, see the schedule above.

I am registered as a category 1 mindfulness teacher at the VMBN. This is the Dutch and Flamish society for mindfulness teachers.

My mindfulness practice
Out of interest and curiousity about all kinds of spiritual traditions I have been travelling around the world as a kind of spiritual seeker. From England, to France, Thailand, India, Japan, Belgium and Guatemala. I have experience/ been practicing meditations from several traditions and teachers like Goenka, Osho, Zen, Therevada, Thich Nhat Hahn, Tibetan buddhism, Anand Mehrotra and Keith Wilson. Therefor I stayed with New life foundation,  Plum Village, EIAB, Tushita, Wat Umong, Wat Pah Nanachat, Dhamma Pajjota, Tibetaans instituut Yeunten Ling, the Gaia House, Osho Gangadam, Sattva yoga and Osho Om Bodhisatva Commune. I have followed the long traject from See True and about 12 years of meditation experience. I followed retreats and  classes with Christina Feldman, John Peacock, Mark Williams, Robina Courtin, Thich Nhat Hahn, Frits Koster, Erik den Brink, Anand Mehrotra, Keith Wilson and Satsangs with Mooji. At the end of 2021 I have stayed for about 3 months in Plum village in the rain retreat to practice mindfulness, so I can apply it more as a lifestyle.
 
Education and experience as a teacher
I have been educated as a Mindfulness teacher in 2010 and was registered as a category 1 mindfulness teacher with the VMBN in the Netherlands. Since 2011 I have been teaching mindfulness courses to groups and on an individual basis, on- and offline. I worked for See True in Beek and organised the 8 week MBCT/ MBSR training for them. I also taught mindful eating trainings in an obesity clinic (CO-EUR) where I also worked as a psychologist. I also taught mindfulness classes in mental health clinics like U-center and Serenity GGZ.
