Kundalini Yoga School was founded in 2016 by us, Marieke and Tim, born from a deep commitment to share the transformative power of this practice. Over the years, we’ve poured our heart and soul into this container, offering it as a space to support and inspire those who feel the call to turn inward and walk the path of awakening.
Who we are
Marieke Janna
Marieke (1978) is a deeply intuitive, soul-centered teacher and guide, devoted to the path of embodied spirituality. Rooted in her years as a theatre director, Marieke brings a finely attuned sense for expression, where energy, presence, and storytelling become instruments of transformation. She brings a rare blend of softness and strength, holding space for deep inner work with clarity, humility, and creative fire. With each practice, she invites others into sacred self-inquiry, energetic realignment, and the alchemy of remembering who they are.
Tim Schipper
Tim (1985) is a grounded and compassionate teacher, whose presence brings clarity, structure, and soulful depth to the path of transformation. With a lifelong curiosity for the inner world, he studied Psychology at the University of Amsterdam (MSc.) and now weaves those insights into practice of Kundalini Yoga. Tim’s approach offers a steady anchor for those navigating change, healing, and inner growth. He holds space with integrity and authenticity, inviting real, lasting change from the inside out.
What is Kundalini?
Within each human being resides a sacred and evolutionary power that fuels both the longing and the movement toward Self-realization. In the ancient yogic and tantric traditions this power is known as Kundalini Shakti. In our school, we don’t seek to control or master this power, we cultivate a conscious relationship with her, as the power of the innermost Self.Â
Kundalini is the encoded remembrance of the Self within the manifest play of consciousnessÂ
What is Kundalini Awakening?
Rather than a goal to chase, awakening is an inner process orchestrated by the intelligence of Kundalini herself.
Movement From Within
She is the power behind all spiritual transformation, the one who brings you to the practice in the first place. A growing commitment to inner work is often a sign that she is already stirring.
Reordering of the System
As she begins to awaken, unconscious patterns may rise to the surface for healing, integration, and release. This can initiate profound shifts in the nervous system, energy pathways, and perception itself.
Path of Grace
This movement cannot be forced, but it can be invited through a balance of sincere practice and deep surrender. Our task is to prepare the body and psyche; the rest is up to grace.
According to tradition, the question is not if Kundalini will rise, but when.Â
Our approach to Kundalini Yoga
Our way of sharing Kundalini Yoga is rooted in honoring it as a living, evolutionary teaching, not a fixed system, but a practice that continuously reveals itself through presence, intuition, and connection to the cycles of life.
In our Kundalini Yoga School, Kundalini Yoga is not a fixed set of dogmatic techniques. It’s a living, breathing lineage, a path of self-initiation that honors ancient teachings from the different corners of the world. Our sequences are not chosen at random. They’re crafted intentionally, in tune with the seasons, the organs, and the emotional and elemental energies they carry.
We ask:
⫸ What is nature doing right now?
⫸ What is rising in our bodies and our collective field?
⫸ What is needed for balance, clarity, and vitality?
To guide this process, we draw from a rich tapestry of ancestral and elemental traditions:
Ayurveda
We work with elemental and seasonal balance, attuning our practices to the doshas and the subtle shifts in nature.
Roots of Yoga
We honor the original aim of practice: to awaken to the Self and return to unity. This is the heartbeat of everything we do.
Tantric Philosophy
We embrace the path of sacred embodiment: where the body, breath, and senses become gateways to the Divine. Tantra teaches us to relate, merge, and dissolve into the flow of life.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
We honor the meridian and organ systems, tuning into the inner flow of energy as it corresponds with emotional and seasonal cycles.
Medicine Wheel & Earth-based Wisdom
We walk the spiral of life: acknowledging the sacred directions, life phases, and the cyclical wisdom of the Earth as teachers of presence and renewal.
Shamanic Lineages
We embody the art of communion, relating to Spirit not as something abstract, but as a felt presence woven through all of life, accessed through rhythm, ritual, breath, and deep listening.
This integrative approach means we don’t teach you 'one right way', but a practice that helps you listen to your Soul, align with the wisdom of nature, and experience union from within.
