VISION
Being in constant dialogue with our own body, our first home, is essential for being able to adapt fluently to the ongoing changes which life offers us. Life means being in motion. The key to create within our life and not to be pulled by circumstances is to move consciously and to build possibilities from there. The more we understand, respect and take care of our body and its needs the more we can choose in life and can experience ease and fulfillment.
VALUES
Integrity, honesty and authenticity create the base for my work and for being with you. Next to these key values the following aspects are the frame for the dance classes and training sessions: indiviuality and personal growth, respect and understanding together, physical experience, embodied knowledge and visible results.
STYLE
My way of teaching is precise, clear and direct. I take you and your needs fully serious. My warm, human and caring approach gives safety and space for your process. Sometimes subtile humore brings some laugther and light athmosphere.
