I just want to make a huge shout out, big up, praise up and love to all these yoga teachers out there, teaching yoga and having a side job just to make ends meet! I admire your strength, your will power, your passion and your sharings!
I have not been teaching for a while now (though I miss it!), but I am still happy to see and know many good teachers in Amsterdam and I bow with deep respect to be their student now.
And I just wanted to share my gratitude for you, doing what you do. 🙏🏼♥️ Happy holidays to all of you! 🤗

Oh yes baby! Got that paper in the pocket! Medical basic training is done! 10 classes done! 9 exams done! Passed all!
Making dreams come true ✊🏼
How I feel? Well, let’s say, I slay 😎
What this paper means in practice? That I’m able to have a general understanding of the most common diseases related to all areas of the human body. This enables me to comprehend the anatomy and the pathology of the disease better (how it develops). Also I am better able to evaluate symptoms and ‘diagnose’ my patients.
It was not so much the different diseases and their terminology what has been my main lesson during this course. It rather has learned me to NOT KNOW. To be as open as possible when we meet a client and NOT jump into conclusions of to what a person might have. The real trick is to ask and ask and dig and dig and observe and feel and over again to slowly fine tune.... putting the ego aside and also be able to say that you don’t have a clue yet what is going with a client but that you are willing to look further and deeper, or: to put someone safely into the hands of another specialist.
I am very grateful for this training, for the dedicated teachers, for my fellow students and special thanks to Clemens who I shared the drives to Amersfoort and lots of fun with 🤗
2020: I am so ready! 🥳

Today this touched my heart to tears. Maybe a bit more being on the fore night of my menses and I can be really really really overly emotional, but it would be to easy to just put it all to that. I think it touched me most of all because I feel it is true to me, and a note to my self.
This year has been wonderful and at the same time demanding. What was demanding? Me, I was demanding to myself. Doing two studies, two jobs and still needing to develop more in this or that way.... because ‘I have a purpose in my mind’. And at times, at I consider - too many times - I forgot what a day, a year, a life is about. I feel I hang out too little with friends, seen my brother and nephew too little, should have made more memories with my parents.... all in all, just be there more..... trying to share my love and heart to others.
It may be a bit early but I feel this is my main new year resolution. No more intense studies for a moment. I think that I already have a lot to give. This year was about more, next year is going to be about content with what is ♥️
Just enjoying life and being me.
Do you already have reflected on this past year and made any new year resolutions? I would really love to hear. 🙏🏼🤗 #bereal #newyearresolutions #emotionalunstableandhuman #purpose #lifepyrpose #love #lovelovelove #reflections #smallthings #bekind #sharelove #insights #contentment #yoga #ayurveda #balancelife #sattvic
Studying the ancient Ayurvedic scriptures. The Astanga Hrdayam 🙏🏼 It’s such a pleasure to study this ancient wisdom. I am ever in aw of its profound intelligence. Its about physics, psychology and spirit all in once. As I read it my mind is joyfully activated, grasping the information, as my spirit is lifted. I feel at the same time curious, eager, calm and happy reading these texts. Maybe it’s what some religious people feel when they study their religious books? The Bible, the Koran etc?
The book consists of different chapters, each chapter contains many sutras. A sutra literally translated threads. These threads of wisdom together form ‘The science to longevity’ just as the Yoga sutras together form ‘The science to self realization’. In the following posts I want to address a few sutras of these ancient scriptures. It will help me to point out a few common mistakes that are made by many.
I hope you will enjoy reading them 🙏🏼♥️ #ayurveda #loveayurveda #astangahrdayam #ancientscriptures #ancientwisdom #sukha #studyayurveda #ayurvedalife #sutras #scienceoflife #sharing #reading #saturdaymorning #haveagoodweekend
"Today I asked my body what she needed,
Which is a big deal
Considering my journey of
Not Really Asking That Much.
I thought she might need more water.
Or protein.
Or greens.
Or yoga.
Or supplements.
Or movement.
But as I stood in the shower
Reflecting on her stretch marks,
Her roundness where I would like flatness,
Her softness where I would like firmness,
All those conditioned wishes
That form a bundle of
Never-Quite-Right-Ness,
She whispered very gently:
Could you just love me like this?"

The Law of Attraction
Do you belief in the law of attraction and manifesting through spiritual laws? No? I do.... here is a story
Do you remember this post in my story last Monday? It was going to be a good day: and it surely was!!! Three weeks ago I called to WoningNet (corporation for social living in Amsterdam) to ask if maybe after being registrarse for 13 years it was not time for me to be toplisted by now.... the lady on the phone explained to me the scarcity of social houses and that I should just keep on trying. I made some jokes, we laughed a bit about the craziness of living in Amsterdam..... but guess what. The week after I was invited (first time in 13 years) to two houses!!! That was the moment where I thought: I got this, the universe is on my side. This is no coincidence, someone/thing/some energy is responding...
The first 15 candidates for each house are invited to view. I was in number 9 for one in number 10 for the other. So definitely not on top list. But I thought: “when I am going to visit these houses I am gonna walk in and around as if ALREADY it is mine”. So I just kept repeating to myself as I went there: “I am going to my new house”. As I was there: “this is my new house, this is my house”. It is a small but renovated apartment and all candidates who were there enthusiastic...... guess what: the Monday of this post, I received an email: you are number one! Congratulations!!! Yesterday I received the keys to my new place.... What I am saying: nothing is impossible!
Nothing is either good or bad, possible or impossible, but thinking makes it so! 🙏🏼♥️ #lawofattraction #manifestation #affirmation #universallaw #yoga #ayurveda #happy #newbeginnings #dontgiveup #mindful #believeinyourself #nothingisimpossible #spritualpractice
😃😃JOY!! 💃🏼🕺🏽DANCE!! 😂😂😂😂LAUGH!!! You can do all what is prescribed: your yoga, your diet right, balanced lifestyle, but to live without the fragrance of joy is like missing the essence of life. Make your life a pleasurable experience! Joy, laughter, happiness, dancing, singing, hugging are some of the most powerful healers on earth, so put up your favorite song and start your day with a dance!
