About yoga moves
YOGA IS ABOUT ENERGY
Energy is everywhere.
There is no lack of it. The problem is not availability. The problem is channeling it.
The journey you will take with Yoga Moves will open up you up so everything else in life can become more vibrant. We want you to feel like your best version of yourself.
On the deepest level, yoga will help you with your relationships. You may ask, how?
Imagine your energy flowing, having peace of mind, feeling healthy and connected. On the deepest level, this is the power of yoga.
Everyone at Yoga Moves has experienced the power of yoga and we love to share it with you.
we support people to be more themseLves
To be perfectly honest - a yoga school is nothing without its students. There is a very beautiful word for this in Sanskrit: Sangha. It means the community of people who come together for the purpose of spiritual pursuits.
The walls we build are empty spaces where we invite you to come empty yourself. The space itself is called Shala. It is where you visit in order to let go and refill yourself with the things you need. And much of what we need is to be together.
A small History
Yoga Moves = Down to Earth
In addition to over 150 classes a week in Utrecht plus online, Yoga Moves offers a world-class Vinyasa Teacher Training, workshops with local and international teacher and attracts students from all over Europe to study here. Last count: we have taught over 33500 people; trained over 1200 teachers, many renowned in the Netherlands and beyond, and hosted some of the most well known teachers in the world (who often fall in love with Utrecht).
We pride ourselves on cultivating highly skilled teachers with soul. Each one is passionate about yoga, from their own unique and deep understanding. They are the foundation of our studio classes.
Hilary Brown, started teaching yoga in a small rented studio in Utrecht in 2001. She offered classes in the American style she was used to: open, drop-in based, friendly, professional and challenging…(read on)
Hilary soon started collaborating with other yoga teachers and set up the first qualified Power Yoga (Ashtanga based) teacher training offered in the Netherlands. Eventually she opened Yoga Moves ONE at St. Janshovenstraat and in 2016 opened up Yoga Moves HOT on Jan van Scorelstraat. In the middle of the pandemic in 2020 we opened up Yoga Moves FLY near central station on Croeselaan. 6 May 2023 we’ve opened our fourth studio: Yoga Moves HOT Central, in the city centre of Utrecht and we are very happy with our fifth and newest studio, opened on 19 August 2023: Yoga Moves Terwijde.
In 2021 Maurice Eikmans became equal partner in Yoga Moves. Having more recently fallen in love with yoga and fallen out of love with corporate life, he took a leap of faith and jumped in to support our team. While managing a lot of back office projects he also balances his family life and teaching a few classes too. So happy to have him on our team!
