Founders story.
Sandra fell in love with hot yoga while living in Koh Samui, Thailand, more than 10 years ago. When she was 16 years old, she suffered a severe back injury that seriously affected her mobility & caused excruciating pain. For many years, she endured all sorts of treatments & therapies, ranging from pleasant to very painful, orthodox to alternative. Yet, her back still wasn’t right.
After she attended her first Hot Yoga class, her body started screaming; “more!” For a few months Sandra attended a class daily, sometimes even twice a day. She learned how to identify the right signals & recognize her limits. She left Thailand after 5 months with a completely healthy back. The pain never returned. Her doctors are still scratching their heads wondering how this happened.
Now, for Sandra, Hot Yoga is no longer about recovering from injury, but about staying healthy, becoming increasingly fit and feeling good. It’s also about having fun & sharing enjoyable moments with others, which is why she is aiming to create an environment in Amsterdam & Haarlem where everyone feels able to do just that.
Our head teacher Julie.
Julie was first introduced to Yoga by the Golf Professional at the local golf club to help improve her golf swing & was hooked ever since. Having worked previously in the film & video industry, Julie turned her attention to her passion of Yoga. Julie has been teaching since 2006; in 2010, she moved from the UK to work for an international Yoga and Pilates studio in Bangkok, Thailand. Since then, she has taught almost 15,000 Yoga and Pilates classes.
In 2011, Julie joined the teacher training team & has been running teacher training courses ever since. In the last 10 years, she has run over 25 teacher-training courses in Thailand and Europe, including Hot Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, (Hot) Pilates Mat, and Reformer. Julie is also a fully certified Level 1 and 2 Pilates instructor on Reformer Mat, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels.
