Flow & Balance
by the Ocean.

A little less rushing, a little more time for myself! 🌊☀️ With the colder months coming, regular beach yoga group classes are taking a little winter break. And after a busy season, I’m actually looking forward to slowing things down, having more flexibility and enjoying some time without a packed schedule! 😎🤙 But VAYA Yoga isn’t going anywhere! 💙 Private yoga sessions (in person & online) are still available on request, and I might also pop up with some online group yoga classes during the winter months. So stay tuned! 🧘‍♀️✨ And looking ahead to 2027… some fresh ideas, new plans and a few exciting changes are on the way! Same passion, just a few new directions! 🌊💙

What a year! 🌊🧘‍♀️✨ Another yoga season is slowly coming to an end, and wow, what a year it’s been! So many retreats, beach yoga classes, events, amazing people, and unforgettable moments! ❤️ Looking back at my journey as a yoga teacher, it definitely hasn’t always been easy. When I first started teaching, I struggled with so much self-doubt, questioned my abilities, and wondered if I was even good enough. One thing I’ve learned over the years: You don’t finish a Yoga Teacher Training and suddenly know everything. A certificate is just the beginning! Becoming a teacher takes years of practice, experience, mistakes, challenges, teaching and constantly learning. And even after all these years, I’m still learning! This year, I’ve been teaching around 3 classes a day, which is actually much less than in previous years, when I was teaching up to 6 classes a day! 😅 And honestly, finding a better balance has been a good thing. I’ve had my own yoga studio, tried different things, changed directions, and even thought about giving up a few times. But closing my studio turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Sometimes changing direction is exactly what you need! It took a lot to get where I am today, and I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come! 💪❤️ A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined my classes, retreats, and events this year and supported me along the way. You made this season special! Now it’s time to slow down a little, recharge, and get creative! And there are already some exciting plans and lots of cool things coming in 2027! 😎🔥 Stay tuned! This journey is far from over! See you on the mat! 🤙🌊

A little break. 🌿 Two days to slow down, switch off and recharge a little — because even yoga teachers need a break sometimes. 😉 A change of scenery, some quiet, good food, fresh air and nowhere I needed to be for a moment. Thank you @thealtoparaiso for having us and for creating such a beautiful little escape🤍 Back to everyday life with a little more energy in the tank. ✨
