Marieke Kooijmans
Marieke’s classes focus on creating peace and connectedness through a loving yoga practice, accompanied by sound. Her classes are mindful and alignment-based, often offering themes. She encourages students to explore the mind-body connection, leaving them feeling more connected to their inner selves.
When living and working in Asia in 2017, Marieke joined her first ever yoga class in the office. She felt profoundly moved as she reconnected with her body for the first time since her gymnastics days. This was the start of her yoga practice. Yoga helped her reconnect with the magic she thought she had lost and was the starting point to pivot her life in a new direction.
In 2023, after years of daily practice, she earned her 200-hour Bhakti Yoga, Vinyasa, and Hatha Teacher certification. Since 2021, she has been certified in sound healing, and she has been a ceremony musician for many years. Marieke naturally blends yoga with a variety of instruments, and vocals, into her classes.
