About me

Gender Male
Occupation Yoga Teacher
Location Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain
Introduction While dancing modern ballet, I studied Journalism then Social Therapy partly and worked for some years as a therapist in Holland. Not satisfied, I decided to look for a different and more holistic way of working with people. Practicing Yoga I became inspired by it's healing effects on a physical, psychological and emotional level and saw possibilities of combining Yoga with my therapeutic experiences. After a Teacher Training (200hr EYA) in 2006, I started teaching different Yoga styles in Barcelona. For example: Yin, Vini, Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga. I have studied with: Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers,TKV Desikachar (Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, India). And have practiced different Yoga or meditation styles like: Yin, Yoga DinĂ¡mico, Hatha, Iyengar, Anusara, Vinyasa, Kriya Vajra Yoga, Vipassana and Shamatha Vipaysana meditation. I guide my students in a clear, direct, compassionate and personalized way, adapting the practice where necessary to the specific personal needs of each student. Letting the students experience and observe their bodily sensations, emotions, flow of breath and fluctuations of the mind. I teach my classes/workshops/retreats in Spanish, English and Dutch.
