Yin Yoga and Sound Healing are a wonderful combination for relaxation, rest and recovery. Yin yoga is a gentle form of yoga in which we hold postures
for a longer period of time. We bring loving attention to different parts of our body, learn to deal with resistance and discover how to listen to the signals
of our body. Through Sound Healing I use sound vibrations to balance body and mind. The vibrations and warm sounds of the Tibetan singing bowls
calm the nervous system, bring attention to the moment and deepen contact with yourself. In my classes I combine both.

With relaxation and attention, and humor and pleasure, I guide you through different asana’s (yoga positions). With care we build them up, we experience them in silence, and downgrade them and feel what a position does to our body and mind. With yoga we practice from mildness and without judgment we experience ourselves, whereby everyting is good like it is at that moment. Namaste,
