"I am a passionate Vinyasa Yoga Teacher who loves to share the beauty of yoga, creating a platform to help people truly experience their BEST LIFE!"

Coming from a bohemian upbringing, Marlene found herself after living a more wild lifestyle, having fallen in love with dance. But after a while, the dance world melted into the background and yoga came into the foreground. Yoga taught her to accept herself with all of her flaws. She learned how to be strong and gentle and self-compassionate. Through yoga, she has discovered how to be a beautiful human. But the most important realisation has been the empowerment of being her authentic self, sharing the love and sharing of unique gifts.

Marlene has a unique ability to naturally inspire a deeper understanding of the flow of breath, movement and mindful connections in Yoga. In her teaching she emphasises energetic alignment, creating space in the body and synchronising movement and breath. She teaches with a clear eye on body alignment and gives precise guidance on how to work intelligently with yoga. With her background in dance, Marlene's classes incorporate a creative flow of movement. She teaches her students to be in the present moment, to explore themselves. Her signature classes are her Core Flow classes.

Marlene has become a renowned name in the Yoga world in the Netherlands and is an experienced yoga teacher for 16 years. She is recognised as an experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500).

She studied Iyengar yoga and Prana Flow and Trance Dance with Shiva Rea and Core Strength Vinyasa with Sadie Nardini.

She is a senior and experienced certified yoga teacher who teaches classes, workshops and yoga teacher training modules including "The Art of Sequencing Module" and "The Core Flow Module" and Corporate Yoga&Fitness programs. She is qualified to train students at 200 and 300 hours level teacher trainings and teaches teacher trainings since 2006. She developed the Summer Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training that she teaches for the last 4 years in Amsterdam. She teaches her Core Flow Modules at the Advanced Studies Training at the Nieuwe Yogaschool and teaches with enthusiasm, dedication and love.
