Spiriators founders · Coaches · Breath & Yin
We are Tessa & Johannes
We help people stuck in always-on mode — stress, overstimulation, poor sleep or burnout — back to calm. As coaches, with breathwork and yin yoga — online and on retreats.
"Together we guide you back to who you truly are"
Our story
Why people come to us — and what we do differently
You may know it: your mind keeps spinning while your body has long asked for rest. Poor sleep. Short fuse. Stress that sits in your hips, shoulders or chest. Or the creeping sense of burnout — as if the 'on' button has been stuck for months, sometimes years.
People come to us when talking alone is no longer enough. When relationship patterns repeat. When setting boundaries brings guilt. When yin or breathing exercises on YouTube help — but you want someone who holds the space when it goes deeper.
We believe you are already whole in essence. Our role is not to repair. It is to re-member: teaching your nervous system what 'off' feels like again — through coaching, breathwork and yin yoga. Online worldwide, or during a retreat or co-travel: then it matters that we are both coaches. Not only teaching classes, but guiding when it goes deeper.
Tessa and Johannes complement each other — as coaches, and in yin, breath and presence. Softness and focus. Intuition and depth.
Where Tessa brings softness, Johannes offers space. Where Johannes seeks depth, Tessa holds the balance. Together we create a safe place where nothing needs to change — but everything may move.
Online worldwide, or nomadic in special places — including retreats and co-travel. Always with the same foundation: we are already whole. And always with coaching included, not only yoga or breath.

Johannes Huijbregts
Breath Coach & Transformation Coach
Johannes works from stillness and focus — shaped among other things as a submarine officer, later as breath and transformation coach. He guides connected breathing when talking stops and the body needs to feel: stress, patterns, addiction, relationships.

How we work
Three pillars, one path back to calm
No quick fix. Coaching plus concrete doorways into your nervous system — so recovery becomes felt, including on retreat.
Breath
Connected breathing and gentle breath techniques that take your nervous system out of 'on' — so overthinking, stress and held emotions can settle.
Stillness
Not emptiness, but space. In stillness you hear what's under the noise — and your body remembers what rest feels like.
Movement
Yin yoga that opens fascia and hips — where stress settles — so what's stuck may flow again.

Recognition
Spiriators is for you if you…
- Your head is 'on' while your body wants 'off' — stress, overstimulation or burnout signals
- You sleep poorly, overthink, or feel unrest in hips, shoulders or chest
- You recognize relationship patterns or boundaries you can't set without guilt
- You've already talked — and sense the answer sits deeper in your body
- You want gentle, honest guidance: no forcing, just presence
Honest
Probably not if you…
- You're looking for a quick workout or performance yoga
- You only want tips without feeling or practicing yourself
- You need acute psychiatric care — then we refer you on
What clients say about us
Marije Hulstijn
1-on-1 Coaching
"Tessa came onto my path at exactly the right moment and we've now been in contact for almost a year through 1-on-1 coaching sessions. She always manages to give me new insights or tools, without needing to know the whole context. That's truly an art. Every session is incredibly valuable and takes me step by step further. And when I lose the overview I think: what would Tessa say? And then I fall back on the many conversations we've already had. Tessa is a listening ear at a distance — she feels like a friend you don't speak to often but who always understands you, with whom you can unreservedly put your feelings on the table, because she always has a helpful answer."
Claire van Nunen
Yin Yoga
"Unfolding. That word covers what Tessa's lessons mean to me. For years I've followed her online, and in all that time I've slowly untangled things that had settled deep inside me: emotions, thoughts, beliefs I didn't even know I carried. It's a path from unconscious to awareness. Sometimes gentle, sometimes painfully honest. But always real. Tessa guides that process with a calm that gives you trust. She forces nothing, but invites. And in the silence of a yin pose, sometimes more happens than just talking. For anyone ready to unfold a little: I highly recommend Tessa."
Kayleigh Huijbregts
Coaching & Breath
"Lovely, kind people. They listen well and are honest even when it's not what you want to hear."
