Ellen Paalman

I’m a yoga teacher, therapist, and breathing coach.In the past years, I’ve guided many people in group classes, 1:1 programs, and retreats on a journey to a deeper connection to themselves. My programs have a strong focus on regulating the nervous system, self-inquiry, and growth, bit by bit, discovering and evolving to our authentic self.Born and raised in the Netherlands, my journey into movement and body awareness began at a young age through dance. My transition into yoga came in my twenties, as I sought a deeper connection between movement, breath, and inner balance.After seven years of yoga practice, I felt the longing to share what I'd been learning on this path. I completed my first Teacher Training and began a new chapter in my life - choosing to follow my passion by supporting people on their journey back to their natural selves.Since 2012, I've been sharing yoga as a path to self-discovery, acceptance, surrender, and inner peace. My programs and workshops are designed to regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and guide students into connection with their bodies.My teaching style is gentle yet grounding, blending classic yoga principles, somatic practices, and breathwork into a practice that meets people where they are.
