Yoga has been a part of my life for over 10 years, and my practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. I will always be a student of the practice and am grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me. In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. I seek to help others thrive in live by nurturing body, mind and soul with yoga, and my hope is that you step off the mat or out of your chair feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced.”
Ynske eventually trained in the Netherlands in Yin & Power 200hrs, before taking further trainings with Dylan Werner 300hrs, One Movement Yoga.
At the heart of her practice is a steady breath, embracing anatomical individuality, and the search for stillness in fluid movements. Yoga is slowly teaching her forgiveness, of herself as much as others, and she tries to inspire this in other people.
More recently, Ynske and her other partners-in-yogacrime, Jolanda Qualm & Ondine de Rest started Vital Energy Center in Wageningen.

I started practicing yoga about 20 years ago in a course offered by Wageningen University to prevent stress amongst employees. My first yoga experiences were with hatha yoga, followed by Iyengar, power, vinyasa and most recently yin. I felt and feel how practicing yoga benefits me both physically and mentally. A couple of years ago I got very curious to know and learn more, and having always been teaching others, I decided to do a yoga-teacher training. I really enjoyed the training and the teaching. So I started teaching and followed several trainings in different yoga styles next to my job as consultant. I’m still developing myself as a teacher starting another training aimed at the physical guidance of students in the poses in September. In my classes I like to work with themes and hope this gives my students a more intense experience.

Bart Venne
Acro
With acrobats for parents Bart has done acrobatics for as long as he can remember. He began training under professional acrobatics trainers when he was 16. He holds regular acrobatic classes in his home town, teaches at acrobatics festivals, and gives workshops across Europe, the US and Rusia.
He also organizes acrobatics conventions. He studied a Masters in Molecular Life Sciences and worked in a hospital, but his heart was always with acrobatics. His teaching ethos is that everyone should have fun. He finds it equally important to recognize what works in a trick, as well pointing out what could use a little ‘improvement’ 😉

Milena was born in Switzerland and raised overseas in Asia and Australia, her passion has always been bringing people together, sharing stories, energies and joy with each other and giving everyone the space to be completely themselves.
A few years back she got the chance to spend one month in a little village in the middle of Sri Lanka and got to know yoga from a different perspective, leading her to get her Yoga Teacher training certificate in Yin Yoga. It made her realise that we are given the opportunity to learn everyday from people, experiences and surroundings and we shall cherish this very much.
To her yoga means creating a connection between your body, your mind, your breath and your spirit. It is about creating a beautiful relationship to yourself and practicing awareness in order to integrate it into your daily life. Her classes involve simple movements, integrating small challenges and bringing your bodies into a oneness with strength, contentment and regularity.
