Movement and Breath, Yoga, to purify your body, energy and mind! - The Hague - Private lessons

Movement and Breath, Yoga, to purify your body, energy and mind!

From 58 C$ /h

My class is all about tapping into the expansion and liberation inside yourself, to meet yourself anew, whenever you want.
Yoga starts with relaxation, only then you will be able to flow in alignment with your emotional, physical and energetical body. For that we want to connect more with our breath. We will use the medicine of breath, sound and movement to purify the body, energy and mind all the way so you can feel your power again!
I combine different styles of asanas, mostly astanga, vinyasa for a more juicy flowy practice and yin yoga for a more restorative and slow gentle approach.

And I wanna have FUN with you, thats the most important thing, to give your whole body a smile from inside out!

I'm excited to meet you:)

Extra information

preferable have your own mat and props like (meditation) pillow.

I am an artist specialized in making multisensorial interactive experiences. I graduated from Artscience at KABK in 2016 and I am very interested in how we perceive and respect our own nature and the universe we are part of. In my practice I use sunlight as my main medium.

I offer a fun program I developed for kids, where the main focus will be to explore creativity and the senses, learn about the 3 r's (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) and make projects with things we find in small walks at the neighbourhood and parks, cook vegan food, and small guided meditations.

These are just some of the activities we'll be doing, and the classes will be personalized depending on each child's preference.

Classes can be given in English, Spanish or Italian.

If you are interested in having more information please contact me :)

All the best energies,

Natali

Meditation is being recognized today more than ever as a way, to not only relax, but mostly to drastically enhance our life quality by creating profound changes within us. Yet, to many, the rich offer there is today can seem overwhelming and stops from discovering this beautiful practice.

I specialised in Sound Yoga and Mantra Meditation.
We all have within ourselves the most powerful and wondrous device to heal and reconnect with ourselves : our own voice. As unique as each of us, in its frequency and colors, your voice is you.

During this class we will work on different breathing techniques, opening the voice and feeling the power of its vibration, Chakra harmonisation, getting in touch with the inner-voice, opening the heart and we will conclude with a deep mantra meditation.

The vibration of the sounds, the awareness of the body, the practice of the mantras and the value of the silence, takes the student into the heart of Yoga. The Union.

This is an open level class, without any age or experience limitation

I have several years of experience with Mindfulness practices within educational settings in order to address procrastination, stress, anxiety, and enhanced cognitive and academic performance. I have conducted Mindfulness-based interventions in education institutions in both Belgium and The Netherlands. I have also followed courses at Mindful Schools among others.

In addition, I have a MSc. in Education, and I am currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University within the Humanities Faculty, as part of the Institute for History - International Studies.

My academic activities include developing special courses in order to prepare students for TOEFL, SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT examinations (American standardized tests required to apply to certain universities).
I am also an International Baccalaureate® (IB) and Advanced Placement proctor and tutor for the American School of The Hague.

I have many years of experience teaching English, Spanish, History, Social Studies, Psychology, MS maths and Algebra.

The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'yoke' or 'unite'.
Yoga is a mind-body practice that leads to the harmony between mind and body, and also the union of individual consciousness with the Universal Consciousness.

Vinyasa (flow) is a smooth transition between asanas/poses in styles of modern yoga as exercise, especially when movement is paired with the breath.

Power Yoga is a more athletic, active, and frenetic style of practice with Lots of movement and heavy emphasis on standing postures that gets your heart pumping—a key component of Power Yoga—cardio. So it’s a gateway to sweating through deeper prospect of yoga.

I am a certified yoga teacher looking to share my learnings with those who would wish to know more about the benefits of yoga and for those who wish to progress their yoga practise.

During my class I like to focus on breath and proper body alignment, so as to avoid injuries. My classes are flexible and will help give you a good posture.

Do you a specific area of your body that you would like to focus on?
Would you just like to de-stress and rejuvenate?
Would you like to progress your yoga practise?
Would you like to learn about the philosophy of yoga?
Would you like to learn about your doshas (elements that your body is composed of - Ayurveda) ?

For any above questions, I can help provide a solution.

I do hope to see you on the mat. Have a great day!!!

Do-In Yoga is for everyone! It's an accessible way of doing yoga: women, men & kids love it.
Do-in Yoga has its origin in Japan; we combine 'makko ho' stretches with Qi Gong (breathing) exercises, tapping the meridians (energy pathways in the body) and short meditation.

You'll learn how to take care of your body and also what stretches have a certain effect on different functions in the body.

Namaste, dear yogis🙏🏻
I am glad to welcome you to my page. The fact that you are here is not an accident :)
For me, yoga is not just a job, it is my way of life. And that's why my main goal is for Yoga to come to you not only on the mat, but also to enter your hearts, uniting your body with your soul.
In my lessons, you will learn to feel your body, understand its needs and respect its capabilities. My lessons are flexible, so each practice will be adapted according to the capabilities of your body today.
Hatha yoga, which is a fusion of two energies of the sun (male) and the moon (female), will lead you to a balance between tension and relaxation. With regular practice, you will gain not only strength and flexibility in the body, but also the ability to relax it, which is very important in the modern world, where stress is one of the main problems of society.
Vinyasa flow yoga is a direction that preserves the traditions of Hatha yoga, but with the use of dynamic bundles. The advantage of the dynamic approach is that the movement warms up the connective tissues enveloping the muscles, thanks to this they begin to slide better, which, in turn, allows you to increase the amplitude of movements and develop functional flexibility.
The combination of the static approach of Hatha yoga and dynamic Vinyasa flow yoga in one practice allows you to cover all muscle groups with attention, ensuring optimal muscle development and dynamics of internal processes in the body, such as lymph supply and blood supply.
Therefore, if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, at the end of a hard working day, practicing with me will be the best way to relax both body and mind. Yes, despite the fact that we will sweat a lot, at the end of the practice you will realize that yoga is exactly what your body needs to relax and relieve excess tension.
Well, if you want your day to pass energetically, and the body to retain its tone and working mood for a long time, starting the morning on the mat is the best way to show your love for the body.
And I'm not even talking about how beneficial all this will affect the state of your mind, which really wants peace and concentration on breathing ;)
See you on the mat🙏🏻

As a 200-hour certified Yoga teacher, I can offer a variety of classes, Hatha, Vinyasa or Restorative. I aim to tailor the class to you and your needs - do you want to develop strength, flexibility and work with your body? Or maybe you need to calm down, ground yourself and find peace within? All of this is possible!

Due to additional certifications in trauma-informed yoga and yoga therapy for anxiety, I am able to support students going through a rough time through a mindful and particularly sensitive approach. Whilst I am not a therapist and always recommend seeking professional help, I can help develop certain tools to help ease symptoms such as anxiety, e.g. by working with the breath. There are many options, just reach out to me and we see together what we can do!

Yoga is a low intensity form of exercise that anybody at any fitness level can perform.

I will help you gain competence over the basics of Ashtanga yoga, correct breathing techniques and how to hold poses for longer durations. The aim of the classes will be to improve flexibility and gradually improve strength.

Teaching yoga, regularly practicing, and sharing its principles is a big passion of mine since graduating as a yoga teacher back in 2012 in Washington DC.

My teaching style is smooth, comforting, and caring, with 1st priority on the client's goals. After the class, you feel recharged with deep dynamic flow (VINYASA) or fully relaxed long-held yin poses (YIN YOGA). You can experience the mind-calming benefits during MEDITATION, nourishment of touch from the elements of THAI YOGA MASSAGE, and hands-on assistance when the body asks for deeper sensations, simple modifications, or help.

If your focus is on strengthening, weight loss, and conditioning of the body, and especially IF you are fond of electronic dance music and open to shaking your hips and spinning wildly your chakras, we are definitely a great match! In this class (called BUTI YOGA) you will be guided in energetic POWER YOGA fused with cardio and HIIT (bonus: a bit of sweat guaranteed ;-).

All class types are balanced and harmonious for ANY LEVEL of yoga experience. Classes are accessible to beginners, and can also be quite challenging for regular practitioners.

I offer mini-group classes, individual and virtually online. When the weather is warm and dry, we can bring yoga outdoors in the park.

Please feel free to reach me if you want to learn more or have any questions. Don't be shy, we are one. ;-)

Warmly 🙏 namaste,
Liana

I am a certificated Tao Face Yoga teacher (by Savina Atai & Mantak Chia) and I am offering individual Tao face yoga lessons.

TFY is a set of 28 exercises that train all 57 (+tongue) head muscles. We use the power of facial and cranial muscles to bring circulation to the endocrine glands in our head. This is important, because they regulate many bodily functions like growth, sexual/reproductive functions, other glands in the body and organs. When you lift and fill out the muscles of your face, you also smooth the wrinkles, obtain full cheeks, lift the mouth corners and sculpt your face.

When we add to the facial exercise conscious breathing and contraction of pelvic floor muscles, we get an exercise that activates the whole body.

This workout will give you focus, more energy, clear your mind, rejuvenate you and regulate your endocrine system. On the outside it will open your eyes, lift your face and open it.

Trainings are adjusted to the individual needs, wishes and abilities. If you are interested please contact me for more information.

With a background in both university teaching and yoga instruction, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and guiding others on their journeys. Teaching brings me immense joy, and I approach each session with warmth and kindness. I live in Den Haag and am happy to come to your home for lessons, but you're also welcome to visit mine. I have an extra yoga mat available if needed! I hope you’ll join my classes so I can introduce you to the wonderful world of yoga. It’s an incredible practice, especially for those who can’t go to the gym or prefer a different way to nurture their bodies.

I have been practicing yoga for nearly 15 years and have specialized in yin, yin & yang, and hatha yoga. My focus is on the spine, hips, and rotations, but we can tailor our practice to meet your needs or simply explore inner peace and relaxation. Yoga’s beauty lies in its versatility—it can bring warmth or coolness, energy or tranquility, depending on what you need that day. As someone who has experienced back issues, I have a deep understanding of spine-related challenges, how pain manifests in the body, and how best to address it. I’m dedicated to helping you feel better both physically and mentally.

Let's practice together!

🌿 Class Description: Private Yoga – A Practice Designed for You
Private yoga sessions offer a unique opportunity to explore your practice in a way that’s fully tailored to your body, energy, and personal goals. Whether you're new to yoga or seeking to deepen your understanding, these one-on-one sessions provide a space for growth, clarity, and connection—at your own pace.

Each class is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are, physically and emotionally. Depending on your energy level and needs, we may explore:

Hatha Yoga for grounding and balance—a slower-paced practice that builds strength and body awareness through steady postures and breath.

Vinyasa Yoga for flow and vitality—linking breath with movement to energize and awaken the body.

Yin Yoga for deep release and stillness—holding poses for longer periods to access the connective tissues and calm the nervous system.

Restorative Yoga for rest and recovery—using props to support the body in gentle poses that invite deep relaxation.

Pranayama (Breathwork) to regulate energy, reduce stress, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
.
Whether you're feeling depleted and in need of rest, or energized and ready to move, each session is adapted to support your current state. You’re welcome to join me in my space, or I can come to yours—whatever feels most comfortable.

This is your time to explore, restore, and reconnect—with guidance that’s gentle, intuitive, and grounded in over a decade of experience.

Your mind can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. And you get to decide.

If you have a persistent inner critic or you suspect you could be happier, if only you knew how to, this class is for you. Over the past ten years, I have combined knowledge from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology with a long-term practice of meditation to solve my childhood trauma on my own. I have spent over 1500 hours in formal practice, several hundred of them in isolated retreats.

I will help you develop an understanding of your own mind that will lead you to identify and drop sources of unhappiness and get closer to your best version. Hopefully, one day you would not need me as your teacher.

Interested? Let's get in touch. Full refund after the first lesson if you do not want to continue.

Compassion is the urge to do something about the suffering of others. Just like learning to speak a language or make music, compassion is a skill, a basic capacity of the human heart that can be developed and expanded. Compassion that is responsive and wise can become an enduring habit that benefits both giver and receiver and contributes to a kinder and more just world.

CBCT® offers a comprehensive method for training compassion that draws on the ancient lojong tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and is supported by current scientific research in fields such as evolutionary biology, psychology, and neuroscience. While CBCT has its roots in Tibetan Buddhism, it was developed as a secular program, one that introduces practices that can help any individual strengthen their inner skills of the heart and mind. Compassion does not belong to any one religion or tradition. It is a capacity of the human heart and one that we can strengthen through deliberate practice.

In CBCT®, we cultivate compassion through meditation, which comes from the words bhavana in Sanskrit or gom in Tibetan, and literally translate as to cultivate or to familiarize. Meditation, thus, is about training the mind to cultivate qualities such as compassion and to familiarize ourselves with – to have intimate knowledge of – the various skills and perspectives that generate and sustain such qualities.

At this moment, you may be turning to compassion training to contribute to your own well-being, or because you want to create more trusting and harmonious relationships with friends or family. You may want to enhance your ability to focus in order to make better decisions. Perhaps you wish for a healthier culture at your place of work. You may engage in compassion training to find a path toward a more equitable and just world. What these goals have in common is one thing: flourishing. Flourishing is why any one of us will train in compassion, whether we seek it alone or together, or seek to extend it to individuals or groups. In this way, compassion training contributes to a healthier and more ethical world.
