Sijbrand Maal

Sijbrand's professional life path is somewhat remarkable. After high school he got an university degree in Social Geography, followed by a career at Alex Beleggersbank and a life as a professional poker player and entrepreneur. Nowadays Sijbrand is co-owner of De Nieuwe Yogaschool, where he teaches various classes and workshops.

Sijbrand never felt completely safe, free and at peace in the world. A core sense of 'something missing, being incomplete, being not good enough or being more special then the rest, a sense of not fitting in' was always there in the background. From 2009 subtle shifts in consciousness in regards to food, health, exercise, astronomy and lifestyle occured. The awakening really caught fire in 2013 when Sijbrand spontaneously got invited to join a Yoga Teacher Training. Sijbrand was touched from within by an unlimited potential and a huge aspiration for truth and a longing for unconditional love arose. Sijbrand's life changed dramatically and the consciousness turned inward, turned to source. De Nieuwe Yogaschool came into existence and Sijbrand started teaching.

Over the years Sijbrand has been guided and inspired by many teachers and mentors. Finally realizing that life itself is the greatest teacher of them all. In 2020 Sijbrand received a spiritual name Satyamanu from his teacher Sat Shree. Which means 'the first human to become the Supreme being'. 'A beautiful potential that we all carry within us', according to Sijbrand.

Sijbrand gives the following workshops in the Johan Noorloos Teacher Training:

- The Journey of Consciousness

We are all in a process of awakening. In essence we are the 'source' of life itself. But we forgot our true nature and we believe to be a separate form, fully identified with our personality, our body, mind and ego. This identification stays in place until the consciousness begins to wake up out of it's condition of bondage. It becomes more and more aware of itself as the source of consciousness, as that pure, absolute, zero point awareness that we call 'Source'. As that principle we experience all aspects of creation as part of ourselves (individual & universal both personal & impersonal). The awareness (Truth) and the experience (Unconditional Love) come spontaneously and without any effort together in an individual form as you. It holds the potential of a fully embodied divine human being, effortlessly radiating and expressing the highest frequencies emanating directly from source into this dimension.

The process of becoming a fully embodied being is an endless process of awakening and transmuting our mind, heart and body. This is a miraculous event that at times feels like your ultimate 'dharma' and absolutely fulfilling. On the other hand at times it can be experienced as very intense and uncomfortable. The being becomes a more mature instrument and channel of life itself. "Based on my and your process, we discuss and feel into this integral journey from Ego to unconditional love and truth."

- Advaita Vedanta and Pranayama
In this workshop the central question is: Who or what am I? Through conversations and the breathing technique from the Wim Hof Method, the space is created in which Self-realization can take place.
