During a year-long world trip with her husband Remy, Kelly rediscovered yoga in a profound way. Leaving her career as a tax advisor in Amsterdam, her life opened up for many different paths to follow. She embraced yoga as an inner journey of self-exploration, trusting intuition, and embracing uncertainty.
- Johanna Rose
Throughout several years of practice, yoga has evolved from a workout routine into a lifestyle that has benefited Johanna physically, mentally, and emotionally. Gaining a deeper understanding of her body, mind, and spirituality led her to discover self-confidence, inner peace and the ability to accept who she truly is.
- Angelika Mantlik
Angelika started practicing asanas in 2015 to recover gently from an injury. Amazed from the physical and mental benefits, Yoga slowly opened her up to explore and experiene all it's teachings and lessons.
