Hi! My name is Marije
Music has always played a significant role in my life. At a young age, I became fascinated by the French horn. This passion led me to study at the conservatories of Rotterdam, Leuven, and Amsterdam. During my studies, I discovered the crucial role of breath in musical performance. As I searched for more control over my breathing, I found my way to yoga and meditation.
My first yoga classes were a real challenge. I was stiff, and my breathing was shallow, but after each session, I felt more relaxed, refreshed, and balanced. Over time, I noticed a real shift. I gained better control over my breath, became more flexible, and felt more in charge of my stress and relaxation. This gave me greater confidence in my physical and mental well-being.
Driven by a desire to deepen my knowledge and share it with friends and colleagues, I took several courses: basic yoga teacher training, yoga therapy, breathwork and relaxation techniques, sound healing, and wellness massage. These courses didn’t just teach me more about yoga; they gave me powerful tools to create real change in my life and the lives of others.
Today, I teach yoga and meditation at a yoga teacher training program in Rotterdam—the same place where my journey started a few years ago. What excites me most is helping musicians become more aware of their body, breath, and mind so they can perform and live with greater ease and confidence.
