In 2008 Esmeralda started her yoga journey and she immediately felt the mental and physical benefits of Yoga. It helped her with stressful situations at work and her energy levels and flexibility improved. ‘The awareness that Yoga gives you is one of the best things you can do for yourself’ she says.

To deepen her own practice and out of curiosity Esmeralda started a 3-year Hatha Yoga Teacher training and qualified in 2014 in The Hague, The Netherlands. When she started covering a few classes for her Yoga instructor and using Yoga in the classroom where she worked as a special needs teacher, she felt this could be something for the future. 4 years later she left education and now Esmeralda teaches classes for adults, children and additional needs.

Esmeralda’s classes are based on classic Hatha Yoga and often have a theme related to the time of the year and the anatomical areas to help balance body and mind.

If you like an approachable teaching style, a calm and gentle yoga flow where there is focus on moving and breathing you will enjoy her classes. All classes include a short meditation and a well-deserved relaxation.
Esmeralda is also available for relaxing body massage bookings.
