I first stepped onto a yoga mat 17 years ago. Some years later I dove into the traditional Ashtanga yoga. Something clicked. Six months after graduating in International Lifestyle Studies, I followed a deep longing to India. During my first teacher training, a bookshop owner handed me a book on Ayurveda and said: “This will change your life.” He was right. Ayurveda healed me from symptoms I was dealing with and felt like coming home. Since then, my journey has been about remembering, living, and sharing the wisdom of Yoga & Ayurveda through my own lens. Over the past 7+ years I’ve trained in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Yoga Nidra & Pranayama, and studied Ayurveda with incredible teachers. My teaching style? Juicy, playful, grounded. I guide you into your body, where clarity, softness, and joy live.

This path has taken me from weekly classes in Amsterdam to retreats across Europe, Ayurveda consults, natural skincare and guiding yoga, meditation, breathwork & sound healing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Currently, I:

• Offer Yoga & Ayurveda retreats (since 2019)

• Teach classes at De Roos, De Nieuwe Yogaschool & De Brauw in Amsterdam

• Guide Ayurveda courses, workshops & teacher trainings

• Offer Ayurvedic consultations (online & offline)

• Created Ambū Ami, a natural skincare line inspired by Ayurveda

• Share Yoga & Ayurveda on Dutch TV (ZENTIJD, NPO Start)

Curious to work together? Let’s connect—I’d love to hear from you.

 

With love,
Jolijn
