dAYDREAMER AND lIFE EXPLORER
I am Rachel, a yoga teacher and yoga practitioner based in Belgium. A few years ago, I immersed on the path of yoga and ever since then I am passionate about everything that is related to mindfulness, movement, stillness, what happens in the mind & the body and therefore in our lives. After joining a few retreats myself, I felt a strong desire that this must be something to pursue. Those retreats helped me to understand myself in a profound way & I decided I wanted to teach myself as well, hoping to give other people a great experience. Teaching and practicing yoga really changed my life for the better. Every time I do so, it reminds me to be humble, curious and mindful. It shows me that there is so much more to learn in life & I learned to really enjoy and be grateful for the little things.
Other than teaching yoga, you will most likely find me at the beach, strolling around & enjoying a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Spontaneous travels, oceandips & naturewalks are a big part of my life and I am super grateful to be able to do that every day. I am someone who needs discovery and excitement and therefore I really believe in challenging myself to keep life interesting. To be active and adventurous but also to be still and calm is a harmonious balance and challenge which I try to seek everyday. I am always keen to philosophize about life, so do not hesitate to reach out if you feel like having a chat :)
“ It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”

ABOUT MY CLASSES
My intention is to give you a great experience by moving mindfully using the breath as guidance. You can expect a strong but mindful practice in which we consciously work with our body and our mind. I often combine my yoga classes with other therapies & philosophies which compliments yoga very well such as shiatsu & breathwork. To quiet down the nervous system, to have a deep practice and a good time is what I aim for.
I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
