About myself
Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m Monika, yoga therapist and yoga teacher, mother of two teenagers, with enthusiasm for way more things than can be fit into a single day. I am lucky to have found my true passion, helping people to heal their body and soul through the natural, ancient system of yoga.
I first encountered with yoga in 2008 in South Africa, and was completely captivated by the experience – which at the time I couldn’t yet explain. I studied yoga teaching in South Africa and Belgium, and I teach yoga lessons since 2015. In 2020 I started to work full time as relaxation therapist, initially as part of a multidisciplinary team at the Medical Center of Ternat specialized on burnout. I simultaneously studied yoga therapy (medically applied yoga) intensively for two and half years, and acquired my 850-hour yoga therapist diploma certified by the IAYT in early 2023.
I love and need variety myself, so I offer yoga and yoga therapy in different formats: classic hatha yoga group lessons, therapeutic yoga in small groups, and individual yoga therapy. I also train top-level competition swimmers through a powerful form of yoga, training not only for strength and flexibility, but also body awareness.
It’s been and continuing to be an amazing journey. Each human being is complex, and different in how their bodies, minds and breaths interact in their subtle ways. When we get to the necessary insights about these body-mind interactions is when we can make the transformation happen: to have less pain, to feel calmer, to have more energy, to sleep better… to start to heal, and to feel true peace inside your own skin.
