The Trainers
She brings a unique blend of dance and yoga to her teaching, rooted in her journey from ballerina to yoga instructor. With a Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology, as well as a second Master's in Dance from the Royal Academy of Dance, Willemieke's approach emphasizes the connection between movement and personal expression. She believes that true connective movement arises from being fully present in each moment, embodying the essence of the movement rather than viewing it as mechanical. During this training, Willemieke will guide you in exploring a deeper level of expression and self-development, helping you unlock your movement's full potential while fostering an authentic and transformational practice.
