Your Teacher
Fleur is often described as a warm and sunny person with an intuitive approach to teaching yoga. The feeling of being connected and going on a journey together is integral to Fleur’s retreats and the thing she loves the most about teaching. As a teacher, Fleur is helpful and supportive, offering options for all levels, so that everyone feels held and at ease, and able to experience the joy and stillness within.
Up until 2009, Fleur was a professional dancer, music and movement stirred Fleur’s creativity and made her feel alive, dancing was her everything. Then, one day in 2009, despite never trying yoga before, she felt called to embark on life changing 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training at Himalaya Yoga Valley.
Over the years that followed, Fleur undertook several more teacher trainings including an intensive 500-hr diploma at Svaha Yoga in the Netherlands, a profound 10-day silent meditation in India, an Advanced Teacher Training programme at Laughing Lotus in New York and most recently, a Yoga Nidra certification received from Kamini Desai.
Alongside her teaching in Amsterdam and in retreats across Europe, Fleur remains a student of yoga, constantly seeking to refine and deepen her understanding and experience of this ancient spiritual practice.
