Mirjam Couvreur

Mirjam studied dance at the Theaterschool in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and got her masters degree in dance teaching. She studied Shiatsu massage at the Chinese Medical Academie. She got her degree in June 2019. She continues to study massages, Yoga and Pilates. Dancing in several productions, as a modern and show dancer, was a way to discover the world. Teaching dance for 25 years was a way to make people happy. As Ballet is a more Yang training, Yin Yoga was a good way to become more flexible. The combination of the two is perfect for Mirjam. She did her teacher training at Yoga Garden in Amsterdam and is officially certificated. She did her Pilates study with Debbie Jenner, the famous specialist from the UK. At the moment Mirjam is teaching at several Yoga/Pilates schools in Amsterdam, Thrive Yoga, Blue Birds, Newton School, Noorderlicht. She has 35 years experience in training the body. Her approach is very personal. If you are a beginner and maybe not very mobile, she will advise you and stimulate you to make you grow. Pushing hard is not always the best way to stay motivated. Sometimes you need to take a breath. Advanced participants need another approach depending on the character and goals of the participant. Anyway, we're not doing acrobatics in class. Yoga is not meant to show your skills. Its about balance and joy.
