Alexandra van Schaik
Alexandra is a passionate speaker and teacher. After about 15 years living in different countries, she was back ‘home’ in The Netherlands for five years, based in Scheveningen, one of the popular surf and hangout spots in the country. Recently, she decided to go back traveling, and teaching yoga retreats and trainings all over the world.
In her life, -without even realizing this until her late thirties- yoga and meditation has been a natural way of daily practices. At a young age, she used drawing, writing and walking as a form of meditation, allowing herself to observe the world around her, and using her observations in her stories writing.
Before discovering the path of yoga, Alexandra worked seasonal jobs in tourism in southern Europe and the USA. In between seasons, she came across with yoga while traveling in India for the first time, discovering the benefits of a daily yoga and meditation practice at drop-in classes at Sampoorna Yoga. From there on, it was a natural process; curiosity towards philosophy, and the integration of yoga into the Western life, made her sign up for her first TTC at Sampoorna Yoga School the following season, but it took a few more years before she finally started teaching classes and workshops. A few more trainings have followed after that first experience; she has trained with Nicole Dechow and Johan Noorloos in Amsterdam. Alexandra also has attended many workshops with several international teachers, integrating different styles in her teachings: Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Iyengar.
After attending to her classes, students always leave with a smile on their face, since Alexandra finds a way to let them feel good about themselves, and inspires them to become the most beautiful version they can be, while staying down to earth with her humor and her contagious laughter. Her classes are not only inspirational but sweaty, dynamic, creative, fun and unpredictable.
Alexandra believes that yoga starts the moment you have finished your practice, when you rolled up your mat and go back to your life. Her say: “What we learn on the mat, we take with us…
