I cant say when my journey on the pathless path began. As far as I know I have always had an inquisitive mind, a search in my heart and a soul ready to roam the universe. So the quest for something bigger, something endless and infinite, something to soothe my restless being was there from the begin.
But lets start with the practicalities, not entirely new to yoga, there had been some previous experiments and earlier attempts, however without that click. One dark, cold evening in February I walked in to the studio on sint Jacobsstraat, not knowing it would be the beginning of a love story lasting still to this very day, with no end in sight. I had my first class, and I was hooked. From there it all went very fast, like it has a tendency to do with young lovers, soon I was taking several classes a week, longing for the next one, the thrill, the exhilaration. I was discovering life anew each time. When a sign appeared at the front desk for a teacher training starting later that year my destiny was sealed. It was more the idea of deepening and intensifying the practice, becoming involved with the scriptures, being totally consumed by yogic fire that appealed to me, more than the actual teaching itself. So, that was the beginning of a very intense year to say the least. Soaring the heights of awareness and diving into the deepest, darkest places. Still to this day the journey continues.
Yoga becomes like a second nature, or first if you like. It¹s like breathing, like eating and drinking. It permeates your whole being, your every cell. It¹s unpredictable and free of any expectation, unlimited.
In my classes, apart from a bit of a work out, igniting the yogic flame, developing tapas, I like to share the endless joy of yoga. Giving the student a change of perspective (literally, everything looks different upside down) realizing the infinite potential residing within us all.
