Irma

Irma started hatha yoga in 2006 in Milan, feeling her body aching all over. At the same time being rather skeptical after years of aerobic/body pump, would it give the same work out? Also, working in fashion, a hectic and superficial world in which only appearance counts, would it not be too out of the box? It didn’t take long to get hooked and to feel the benefits, not just on a physical level. The weekly practice gave her a different look on her life and subconsciously influenced partly her decision to move back to the Netherlands in December 2008, after having lived in Italy for 18 years.

At Yoga Moves she has been enjoying Vinyasa yoga for 7 years now with teachers Hilary Brown, Marlene Henny and Sandra Carson, bringing her yoga practice to a different level. She followed the YM Going Deeper Course -10 days in 2010 and after overcoming some setbacks, the time was right to start the YM Teacher Training Course -200 hrs in 2015. She continues her exploration to learn more by regularly attending workshops from international teachers. As sport is a huge passion, she is especially inspired to take yoga into the sport world as already done in the US. Therefore she takes great interest in the technical part of the asanas, how to come safely into/stay in a pose. Bringing openness, flexibility and balance into different parts of the body so one can move better and injuries can be prevented. Holding poses longer with the breath for the effect it has on body and mind. These qualities can be found in her class, slow and mindful. How you approach your yoga is how you approach your daily life…
