Maurice

Managing Director & Co-Owner

Maurice discovered yoga through endurance sports, initially looking for a way to keep his body flexible. But in his very first class, he experienced that yoga was much more than a physical practice — and he was hooked. A daily yoga and meditation routine soon followed, bringing more balance to his life. Within a year, he completed his Yin teacher training, followed immediately by a Vinyasa training. Not long after, he left corporate life to help more people experience the benefits of yoga.

In his Yin, Vinyasa and Nidra classes, Maurice helps you find stillness from within — connecting body and mind, and feeling more at one with your surroundings. He often weaves in personal stories to guide you through longer-held Yin poses or to bring focus to an active flow. He loves teaching both indoors and outdoors, integrating the earth element into his practice — the same connection with nature he finds while trail running in the mountains.

Maurice has a deep love for Asia, its cultures and landscapes. He speaks Chinese and travels whenever he can, drawing inspiration from the places and traditions he encounters.

After class, you'll usually find him with a cup of tea in hand, taking time to connect with his students — so feel free to join him.

As managing director, Maurice runs the day-to-day of Yoga Moves, connecting people and ideas with a personal, creative and authentic approach. Alongside his classes, he leads mindfulness and meditation sessions for companies. He's always happy to hear from you: maurice@yogamoves.nl
