Werk jij met mensen?

Als yogadocent, mindfulness trainer, therapeut of bodyworker beschik je waarschijnlijk al over verschillende tools om mensen te begeleiden. Misschien zet je daarbij ook de adem in. Maar hoeveel weet je eigenlijk over hoe verschillende ademtechnieken werken, wanneer je ze inzet en hoe je ze veilig en verantwoord begeleidt?

Mensen nemen vaak meer mee dan je aan de buitenkant kunt zien. Stress, spanning en onrust kunnen een rol spelen – en de adem kan een waardevolle ingang zijn om het zenuwstelsel te ondersteunen.

Tijdens BREATHE – 30 uur Pranayama & Breathwork gaan we daarom verder dan alleen het leren van verschillende ademtechnieken.

We combineren traditionele pranayama met moderne kennis over ademhaling, anatomie en het zenuwstelsel. Je leert de theorie én de praktijk, zodat je begrijpt wat je doet en de technieken bewust en effectief kunt inzetten – voor jezelf én in je werk met anderen.

Yoga Nidra is often described as just relaxation. But there is much more to the practice.

What fascinates me about Yoga Nidra is the way it systematically guidesWhat fascinates me about Yoga Nidra is the way it systematically guides us inwards.

As the body becomes more and more relaxed, we move through different stages of the practice while maintaining a thread of awareness. Traditionally, this can be understood through the koshas, the different layers of our being.

And this is where Yoga Nidra becomes really interesting.
In that deeply relaxed state, there can be space to become more aware of our thoughts, reactions and habitual patterns, without immediately engaging with them. Becoming aware of these patterns can be the first step towards changing the ones that no longer serve us.

There is so much to explore, both in experiencing Yoga Nidra and in understanding the theory and structure behind it.

During my 20-hour Yoga Nidra Training, we dive deeper into the history and philosophy of Yoga Nidra, the neurophysiology of relaxation, how to structure a complete session, script writing, sankalpa (intention), and how to guide others safely and trauma-sensitively.

For yoga teachers and others working with people. Or simply if you’re fascinated by Yoga Nidra and want to understand the practice on a deeper level.

For the Dutch Yin lovers 🧡
50u Yin Yoga opleiding in Bussum 🇳🇱

Wat leer je eigenlijk tijdens mijn 50 uur Yin Yoga opleiding?
Veel meer dan alleen de Yin-houdingen.

Tijdens de training duiken we onder andere in:
• Yin Yoga filosofie – Taoïsme, Qi & meridianen
• Anatomie en de verschillen tussen individuele lichamen en skeletten
• Asana clinics – poses, variaties, aanpassingen en contra-indicaties
• Het begeleiden van studenten in en uit de houdingen
• Lesgeven en practice teaching
• Meditatie en ademhaling
• Heel veel heerlijke Yin Yoga sessies
• Extra workshops met gastdocent Brenda

De anatomie vormt een belangrijk onderdeel van de opleiding. Je leert begrijpen waarom een houding er voor ieder lichaam anders uit kan zien en hoe je poses kunt aanpassen aan jezelf of aan de mensen aan wie je lesgeeft.

En natuurlijk gaan we niet alleen leren en luisteren. Je gaat vooral ook veel doen, ervaren en oefenen.

De opleiding is geschikt voor yogadocenten en toekomstige docenten, maar ook als je je eigen Yin-practice wilt verdiepen of vanuit je werk meer wilt leren over Yin Yoga en het lichaam.

CAN YOU PRACTISE YIN YOGA WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT?

Yes, you can — but there are a few things to keep in mind.

I get this question quite often.

During pregnancy, hormonal changes make the ligaments around your joints a little looser. This allows for more mobility, especially around the pelvis, and is part of the body's natural preparation for giving birth.

But it also means that this is not the time to use Yin Yoga to become more flexible or to keep going deeper into poses.

Instead, I would shift the intention of the practice from the physical more towards the energetic.
Use Yin as a practice for relaxation, slowing down and connecting with your body and your baby.

Stay well within your range (perhaps around 60–70% rather than going to your usual edge) and use plenty of props for support.

Especially around the hips and pelvis, be mindful not to push for more mobility. Your body is already naturally becoming more mobile, so creating and maintaining stability is important too.

If you practised Yin before becoming pregnant, you can continue your practice, but adapt it as your body changes.

And if you're completely new to yoga? I would personally recommend starting with prenatal yoga rather than jumping straight into a regular Yin class.

Pregnancy isn't the time to see how deep you can go.

Less depth.
More support.
More listening.

Every pregnancy is different. Please check with your healthcare provider about what is suitable for you.

Hi, I’m Jane!

If you’re new here, welcome.
And if you’ve been following me for a while, perhaps it’s time for a little reintroduction.

I’m a yoga teacher and teacher trainer, passionate about helping you understand your body, deepen your practice and teach yoga with greater confidence.

But yoga, for me, goes beyond the physical practice. It’s also about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, becoming more aware of what you need and finding ways to support your wellbeing - both on and off the mat.

Swipe through to get to know me, my approach to yoga and what I offer. →

Through my courses, teacher trainings and retreats, I bring together anatomy-based teaching, mindful movement, breathwork, meditation and self-care - always with the understanding that every body and every person is different.

My life in August ☀️🏝️

August, you have been wonderful.

I spent the whole month at home on Bonaire, which was especially lovely because the island was so quiet compared to the busier high-season months.

A lot of my free time was spent in, on or close to the water: windsurfing, snorkelling, a dive, a catamaran brunch, beach days and even a dance party on a boat.

There were lots of beautiful sunsets, good food, dinners out and, most importantly, plenty of time with friends.

August was also the month in which I became slightly obsessed with my protein intake 😅😂…but don’t worry, I’ll spare you the many pictures I took of my plates of food.

And of course, in between all of this, I spent plenty of hours behind my laptop working on my business. I just don’t take pictures of that part… too boring. 😉

A little glimpse of life on Bonaire this August. ♥️

Meditation doesn't always have to mean sitting still with your eyes closed.

For me, meditation can be a walk in nature, windsurfing, swimming in the ocean or moving through a yoga practice. I also find little moments of meditation in long-held Yin poses or while practising breathwork.

It's about quieting the busy monkey mind and being fully present in what you're doing.

So don't be too rigid about what meditation should look like.

Find what brings you out of your head and into the present moment.

And remember that it might be something different every day.

What does meditation look like for you?
