I first came to yoga in 2014. For years, it moved in and out of my life, until I truly connected with the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice in 2022. Since then, it has become a steady anchor and a path I continue to explore with curiosity and dedication.
What draws me most is the depth of the practice, both as a lifelong student and as a teacher. I love sharing what I learn and experience with those who feel called to it, in a way that is grounded, honest, and human.
My path has been shaped by multiple teacher trainings, intensives, and retreats with teachers such as Sudhir Tiwari, Scott Johnson, Petri Räisänen, Ty Landrum, David Robson & Jelena Vesic, Marilou van Hoek.
For me, balance lives in the integration of asana, pranayama and meditation - a practice that extends beyond the mat and gently weaves into everyday life.
I teach the way I practice: with honesty, warmth and deep respect for each person's path - creating space to explore the practice for beginners and more experienced practitioners alike.
Four days of practice, walks, good food and rest. This retreat offers a rhythm that's gentle enough to sink into, and rich enough to come home changed.
Capped at 12 guests so every person gets personal attention, hands-on adjustments and the space to ask what they need to ask.
Set in one of Wallonia's most beautiful villages, at the edge of the Ardennes forest. Trails begin at the door.
Generous free hours between sessions - for walks, reading, the sauna, or simply doing nothing at all.
A warm stone gîte with open fire, wooden interiors, a dedicated yoga room and quiet corners to retreat into. Nourishing food prepared by a private chef on-site.

All meals are prepared by a professional chef on-site: fresh, seasonal and Ayurveda-inspired cooking that supports what happens on and off the mat. Vegetarian by default.
Let us know of any allergies or dietary needs when you book, and we'll make sure it will be taken into account.
The retreat is held at L'Attrape-Coeurs, an authentic gîte in Wéris, one of the officially designated "most beautiful villages of Wallonia", just outside Durbuy (Belgium).
Wéris sits in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, surrounded by ancient megalithic stones, river valleys, and dense forest trails. For those who find restoration in nature: hiking and cycling paths start at the doorstep, the Ourthe river is minutes away, and Durbuy, Europe's smallest city, offers charming cobblestone streets to wander between sessions.
The venue has a dedicated yoga room (including mats, straps, meditation cushions), open fire, sauna, jacuzzi bath and a large garden. Wood interiors, stone walls and the forest a short walk away make this place magical.
