Carine has been teaching since January 2010 in her own studio in the Jordaan, for the police officers, in prison and in various yoga schools and in special places. She also regularly organizes retreats and other yoga-related events.

Strangely enough, her work as a lawyer at the Amsterdam police does not suffer from this completely out of control yoga passion. In fact, although she works less and less with the police, it supports each other in a special way so far: her policework holds her firmly with both feet on the ground, while yoga lifts her out of it.

With a powerful foundation of almost twenty years in martial arts (karate), Carine started yoga in 2003. She has followed courses at both the Yoga Garden (2010) and Delight Yoga (2012) and is a certified Ashtanga yoga teacher. In addition, she has studied all kinds of other forms of yoga; the inspiring principles of the Anusara, the playful form of the Acroyoga and the effortless effort of Vijnana yoga.

Carine’s heroes are David Swenson, Laruga Glaser, Orit Sen Gupta and Alanna Kaivalya and she also follows intensive courses and additional teacher trainings with them. All these influences can be felt in her lessons, which are generally experienced as powerful and soft, intuitive and meditative.

In her lessons, Carine introduces you to the freedom in your limitations, the softness in the power and the peace in the movement.
