My name is Veerle, founder and yoga teacher of Yoga Club Valencia. I am from the Netherlands living in Valencia, Spain. It’s not often you’ll see me out of my yoga gear, but here I am, putting on some regular clothes for the occasion! 😄
How yoga changed my life for good
Here’s the short version of why I started yoga and how I founded yoga club Valencia.
Like many of us, I was feeling numb and overwhelmed by the fast pace of everyday life, the pressure of life passing by and I’d been sitting inside working the sunniest hours of each day. I felt disconnect from myself and my future vision when I started yoga.
During the 2-year period traveling I’d done yoga classes in all corners of the world. Fun fact: I decided, there was no better way to celebrate the end of my travel adventures with a one-month certified yoga teacher training between the sunflower fields of France? 🌻
As I’d deepened my practice, yoga taught me more than the poses. I started using yoga as a tool to reset my energy. It keep me aligned with the things that are important to me and lets all the ‘noise’ pass by. Yoga gave me healing in times of grief. It made me more resilient to life’s challenges, feeling strong in my body and clear in my mind. That is how yoga changed me and my life. Yoga is a place I find myself.
When I can transform my life with yoga, imagine what it can do for you!
One good thing led to another. My dream became my reality, when I moved to Spain. I found myself feeling at home in Valencia. Living in 'vacation land' simply makes me the happiest version of myself. And a big part of that is being able to teach yoga outside!
Apart from teaching classes in Valencia I run the yoga program for people in the VIP-segment that suffer from anxiety and burn-out. Here I work closely together with 10 other experts in the health care field to help the client rediscover themselves and heal from within. The beautiful thing about this is that I probably learn as much from my student as they learn from me. Reflecting on the practice and really focusing on one topic at a time.
That brings me to my groups and private classes here in Valencia, where I love teaching theme-based classes. This varies from focusing a class on a body part, the season we are in or exploring an element.
Next time, when you’re in Valencia, come join me for some outdoor yoga! Because nothing quite compares to flowing with the sun on your face and the earth beneath your feet!
With love, Veerle
