My journey in yoga and meditation began when I was a child.In my early teenage years, I spontaneously started to meditate, following an inner guideline of mystical experiences and set off on the path of yoga.Yoga and meditation became a way of life and a source of inner wisdom and love, from which I receive my nourishment.There from sprang the aspiration to guide others on the way to their own source of love, joy, inner freedom, and wisdom.For more than 28 years now, I have been teaching the ancient form of Raja Yoga, and for over 15 years, I have been training yoga teachers.My other professional activities are as a psychologist, naturopath, life coach, author of several books, and a mother to 4 children.With love, I continue to teach in my passion for yoga and meditation, explaining and exploring its classical philosophy.In our daily life at La Borde Blanque, there lies an invitation and challenge to practice the yogic way of life, each day, every minute.Together with my husband Pieter, we started La Borde Blanque, a yoga, meditation, and healing center in Midi-Pyrenees, France.Here we realized our dream and share our life and work experience in a holistic way, within the power, serenity, and beauty of nature and our animals.My great passion, teachers, and friends are our Icelandic horses.Books by Elleke available in English:In English:'Meditation & Imagination’, 2011, O-BooksLove Beyond Death, 2010, O-Books“Meditations on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali", by Elleke van Kraalingen
