One-on-One TeachersJose De Groot Teaches: Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, No Class Today View schedule of Jose De Groot Ever since her childhood, classical and modern ballet have been José's passion. In her teenage years she became interested in psychology and philosophy and since then has become more engaged in self-development, increasing her awareness and enjoying the magic of the present moment. After studying Journalism and, in part Social Therapy, José worked for a few years as a therapist in various institutions in Holland. Unsatisfied with that line and method of work, she decided to look for a different and more holistic way of working with people. José started practicing yoga seriously in 2006, in Barcelona, and was greatly inspired by its potential for healing at a physical, emotional and spiritual level. She saw the possibilities of combining her interests, therapeutic and dance experiences with yoga classes. After a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) of 200 hours Yoga Alliance (YA) in August 2006, she started teaching a mix of Hatha, Vinyasa and Vini Yoga (Yang Yoga) in Barcelona. At the end of 2006 she discovered Yin Yoga and since then, this has been her primary passion and specialization. José started teaching Yin Yoga classes in 2007. José's classes are guided in a warm, clear and hopefully humorous way, with compassion by adapting the practice where necessary to the student’s specific needs. She encourages you to experience, observe and become aware of your bodily sensations, emotions, quality of breath, intuition, thoughts and habitual patterns. Her goal is to stimulate you to discover, to strengthen and connect with your true self. José teaches mainly Yin Yoga classes, but also more dynamic styles (Hatha/Vinyasa/Vini/Power Yoga) in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Barcelona. She also offers several workshops, retreats and Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings all over Europe. José has completed several anatomy workshops and a Yin Yoga YTT (200hYA) with Paul Grilley, several workshops with Sarah Powers, a Vini Yoga training with T.K.V Desikachar (India) and a couple of Anusara Yoga immersions. José has also studied other styles of Yoga including Yoga Dinamico, Iyengar and Kriya Vajra Yoga. She is a regular practitioner of Vipassana and Shamatha Vipaysana meditation.

Arno Nistal Ten Veen Teaches: Vinyasa Yoga, No Class Today View schedule of Arno Nistal Ten Veen Arno holds teaching certificates in Power Yoga and in Ashtanga VInyasa Yoga (by Yoga Moves), and has followed 2 years of teacher training at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Amsterdam, where he could deepen his experience and understanding of asana technique (yoga poses) and its therapeutic applications. “My lessons are the natural results of what I’ve learnt in my own life. We learn to bring balance and correct attitude into body and mind. We learn to move from the centre (core) of the body, not just on the mat, but also in our daily lives. Flow on the mat, creates a flow in life as well! In my classes I mix the meditative flow and breath awareness of Vinyasa Yoga, with the detailed asana technique and body awareness of the Iyengar method. Together with a lot of Core postures, I can bring the best out of myself and of my students.” Chantal Soeters Teaches: Anusara-inspired Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Anusara Inspired Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga View schedule of Chantal Soeters Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. Thich Nhat Hanh Chantal Soeters is an Anusara-inspired® yoga teacher from Amsterdam. Anusara® yoga is a powerful Hatha yoga system, developed by John Friend, that weaves a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with intelligent biomechanical principles of alignment and a strong sense of community. Chantal fully embraces the playful , creative and uplifting nature of this form of yoga and sees yoga as a way to experience freedom in the body, mind, and heart, both on and off the mat. As Anusara yoga® helped her heal from a serious neck injury where other treatments failed, she acquired a special interest in the therapeutic benefits of yoga and the innate healing capacity of the body. In her classes, she emphasizes safety through alignment and encourages a mindful practice, while, at the same time, encouraging you to expand your boundaries and to embrace new challenges. Chantal is known for her enthusiasm, her dedication and her compassion. Her teaching style is precise, accessible and uplifting, always looking for possibility first, seeing your potential. Her classes are challenging but relaxed, serious but light-hearted, mindful but expressive. Each class will focus on empowering you by exploring a deeper connection to your heart and by learning more about the workings of your own body, helping you to transform and deepen your practice, to feel good in your body and to gain a more expansive view of life.

After experimenting with traditional Hatha Yoga and Pranayama, she went to Southern India on a few trips to deepen her yoga practice and Ayurvedic studies. Once back in Rome, she completed a two year Master in Ayurveda Massage at the Atharva Veda Center ( in cooperation with the Center for Study and Research of Naturopathy and Ayurveda of New Delhi, India). Here she met Denis Sciannimanica, who introduced her to Ashtanga Yoga. It was love at first sight and since then Ashtanga Yoga is part of her daily life. She has participated in workshops with Manju Jois, Clayton Horton and Gabriele Severini. In 2009 she moved to Amsterdam and started working with Ayurveda in massage centers and yoga schools. As she continued to deepen her yoga practice, she decided to join the 200hrs Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training given by Claudia Pradella and Janneke Verburg. Since then she has very happily started teaching Ashtanga Yoga, as a way to share her love, joy and devotion to this powerful style of yoga, which can enrich our lives with extraordinary vitality and creativity on all levels. |
