Chantal Soeters

Chantal Soeters is an Anusara-inspired® yoga teacher from Amsterdam. Anusara® yoga is a powerful Hatha yoga system, developed by John Friend, that weaves a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with intelligent biomechanical principles of alignment and a strong sense of community.Chantal fully embraces the playful , creative and uplifting nature of this form of yoga and sees yoga as a way to experience freedom in the body, mind, and heart, both on and off the mat.

As Anusara yoga® helped her heal from a serious neck injury where other treatments failed, she acquired a special interest in the therapeutic benefits of yoga and the innate healing capacity of the body. In her classes, she emphasizes safety through alignment and encourages a mindful practice, while, at the same time, encouraging you to expand your boundaries and to embrace new challenges.
Chantal is known for her enthusiasm, her dedication and her compassion. Her teaching style is precise, accessible and uplifting, always looking for possibility first, seeing your potential. Her classes are challenging but relaxed, serious but light-hearted, mindful but expressive. Each class will focus on empowering you by exploring a deeper connection to your heart and by learning more about the workings of your own body, helping you to transform and deepen your practice, to feel good in your body and to gain a more expansive view of life.
