INNER JOURNEY

Ceremonial work supports you to fully integrate the offerings, empowering each stage of our journey around the sun and preparing you for the next phase.
Giving depth and meaning to our life experiences
DISCOVER YOUR MEDICINE
Become your own Space Keeper
Committing to this training means you will commit to your healing, to your own process, discovering your unique medicine and how to apply it to your daily life. In other words once you have completed the wheel you will have a toolbox filled with knowledge and experience that allows you to be the space keeper of your own growth and transformation.
WORKING WITH THE FOUR DIRECTIONS
Journey around the Sun
The training is presented in four modules that deeply explore all there is to learn and experience linked to the four directions of the medicine wheel. Throughout the year you will create your own healing mandala, your personal medicine wheel. We empower each stage with relevant ceremonies to give depth and meaning to our life experiences.
MODULE 1 - WINTER

You will experientially & theoretically understand how to work with Asanas to help restore balance and proper energy flow within the body mind system.
MODULE 2 - SPRING

Marieke
After practicing Hatha Yoga for 10 years I switched to Kundalini in 2011 and I am teaching on a daily basis ever since. My classes always are a deepening experience beyond the comfort zone, to discover new dimensions of ‘being’. Self observation is playing a key role throughout the practice towards self discovery. Teaching Kundalini Yoga is the love of my life and I am passionate about sharing this technology to inspire people on their spiritual journey. Out of this passion Tim and I founded the online Kundalini Yoga School in 2016.
Tim
An early fascination for the mind made me choose to study Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. Now I integrate the teachings of Kundalini Yoga with Psychology. and love sharing yogic knowledge via the online Kundalini Yoga School. Besides Kundalini Yoga classes and private consultations with individuals, I also lead journeys & retreats at inspiring locations worldwide. I am grateful guiding students to establish themselves in their hearts, towards a life filled with compassion and kindness.
