Johanna van der Schaft

Johanna has been practicing and studying Yoga and meditation since 1978.The power of sitting (meditation), breathing and body alignment she learned from Satipatthana Master John Garrie. She studied and practiced for nine years with Dzogchen Master Namkhai Norbu Rimpoche from whom she learned Yantra Yoga (Trulkor). For almost two decades she has studied closely with Dona Holleman and was responsible for the publication of Dona’s books, ‘Dancing the Body of Light’ and a re-issue of ‘Centering Down.’
Since 1993 she has been a student of the work of A.H. Almaas. This work has influenced her to a contemporary spiritual path where depth psychology and traditional spiritual understanding is woven into a penetrating practice.

“What inspires me most about Yoga is that it gives us the chance to discover who we are in essence. It gives us the chance to fully embody ourselves on all levels of being! My teachings are designed around the metaphysical approach of empowerment through insight, understanding and embodiment.”
