Meet your teacher
“Finding happiness inside yourself every day, and sharing it with others.”
That is how I like to describe myself. I started teaching in 1999, in gyms, with Baron Baptiste’s power yoga. Then training upon training: ashtanga, kundalini, hatha. Each teacher gave me something different.
In the end I chose a form of my own: Smiling Spirit Yoga. Yoga, for me, is skill in action, staying supple while life keeps changing. You do the postures to make space, so the energy can flow again.
In summer I stand on the beach. Sometimes I film in the Austrian mountains, sometimes in Greece. The rest of the year in a school hall in Wassenaar, or at your home. You can also practise with me on YouTube.
Student experiences
Experiences shared by Caroline’s students, kept in their own words.
I’ve been coming to Caroline for over a year and it’s been a success from day one. Warm and clear. You set your own level, nothing is compulsory. For both body and mind I wouldn’t want to be without it.
The moment you walk into the room the relaxation starts, with the setting, the atmosphere and a cup of tea. A lovely hour of recovering and recharging.
Very varied, yet with a steady structure so you can really focus. Professional teaching in a relaxed atmosphere. The mantra classes are worth it too.
The classes are so good. A lovely combination of calm, meditation and movement. Caroline has a wonderful voice. I always settle. From May I join the yoga on the beach, which I really recommend!
I started a year and a half ago. Back then I had no energy at all, not even to move. Now my body is picking the energy back up, and there’s balance between tension and rest.
Absolutely great! Different every time, and a must for anyone who sits or works too much. If I can’t make a week, I just watch one of Caroline’s videos and carry on at home.
