I’m a yoga teacher, goldsmith, and singer. After experiencing chronic illness at a young age, I became deeply interested in the body: regulating my nervous system, developing greater body awareness, balancing my hormones, observing thoughts and sensations with detachment, and exploring many other tools.
Yoga became both a sanctuary and a teacher, allowing me to explore these tools in depth.
I believe healing starts with bringing conscious awareness to the body — “You have to feel it to heal it.” By following my body’s wisdom as a guide, I not only overcame my health challenges but also rediscovered my passions and joy for life.
Now, after more than 10 years of practicing and studying yoga, I love helping people feel freer and more aligned in their own bodies.
I am trained in several yoga styles and somatic modalities, including Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Pranayama, and Nervous system recovery. During my in-depth

I discovered yoga while seeking inner growth, peace, and a deeper understanding of my body — and that curiosity has shaped my entire path as a teacher. Over the past six years, I’ve dedicated myself to alignment-based Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga, exploring how muscles, breath, and mindful awareness can create stability, ease, and confidence.
In my classes, I guide students to feel at home in their bodies — learning how postures connect, how alignment supports strength, and how clear technique can transform an Ashtanga practice. My background in Hatha yoga, and therapeutic exercise helps me break things down simply and precisely, so students not only move but truly understand what’s happening inside.
Originally from Iran and now living in Haarlem, I bring a warm, grounded, and detail-oriented teaching style. Whether you’re new or experienced, my intention is to help you feel progress, clarity, and a deeper connection to your practice.

I’m Paola, an Italian Yoga teacher and sound bath practitioner with a Master’s in Preventive and Adapted Exercise Sciences.
I started my journey as a PE teacher in a primary school in Italy. When I moved to Haarlem in 2014, I allowed myself to explore different paths before finding my way back to my roots: movement.

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF YOGA TEMPEL! ✨🧘‍♀️

Today marks a very special milestone for us: Yoga Tempel is officially celebrating its 15th anniversary! We are incredibly proud and grateful to have been a warm and safe sanctuary for your yoga journey for a decade and a half.

Thank you to everyone who has flowed, breathed, and shared space with us over the past 15 years. Without your love, energy, and presence, the Tempel wouldn’t be what it is today.

Every Tuesday 20:30, Nervous system reset with Sabine.
In this class, we will practice nervous system regulation techniques from Polyvagal Theory to bring your nervous system into balance: out of the fight, flight mode and into a calm, alive, and grounded state.
Through pressure points, breathing techniques, eye movements, and vocal meditation, we increase vagal tone, which makes the body more resilient in moments of stress or triggers. We will end the class with yoga nidra to come into deep relaxation and recovery mode.

You will feel deeply relaxed, centered, and more in touch with yourself and others, so that you feel empowered to choose the direction of your life with joy and openness.
These practices are also a great way to recover from burnout, chronic fatigue, or prolonged stress.

YOGA IS NOT COMPLICATED POSES OR BEING FLEXIBLE

The word yoga comes from Sanskrit and means ‘to connect’ — uniting your body and mind.

In the West, yoga is often known for its challenging poses, leading us to quickly assume you need to be flexible to practice it.

Flexibility isn’t a requirement, just a nice bonus. After all, every body is built differently!

With the right breathwork and meditation, it helps you regain your balance and creates awareness.

What yoga can do for you:
🧘 Physical: A stronger, healthier, and more supple body.
🧠 Mental: Better focus, peace, and resilience when dealing with stress.
✨ Personal: Room to relax and get closer to your true self.

Just one class a week can make all the difference. Will you give yourself that moment of peace?

End of the summer vacation is an opportunity to start again.
We are inviting you to move with a solid ground ,build strength and flexibility with intention and create space for your body and mind.
