## About Tessa

Yin Yoga · ing. Movement Technology · Coaching

**Formal background (short):** ing. (HBO engineer), BSc Movement Technology (The Hague University, 2002–2006) → CAREN/movement analysis Military Rehabilitation Centre Doorn (2008–2015; not a therapist title) → personal training & yoga/pilates (2015–2022) → Yoga Teacher Yin/Hatha/Vinyasa New Nature Yoga (2021) → NatureBalanceAcademy (2022–2024) → Breath Coach Adem en Stem (2024–2025) → Spiriators (2024). Certified Hatha and Yin teacher; listed in the Yin Yoga teacher directory on [YinYoga.com](https://yinyoga.com/teacher-directory/?location=Berlicum&lng=5.401200100000001) (Bernie Clark).

Tessa offers **online yin 1:1** (€60/60 min), often with body-oriented coaching: first space in the body, then conversation in the here-and-now. Two doors stay open — a full yoga class, or a class with more emphasis on posture, mobility and ease in the joints. Yoga and coaching are **not a substitute** for therapy or medical care; for acute psychiatric or trauma care we refer on.

## Why people come to Tessa

### Tension is stuck in your body

You know you're stressed, but talking alone doesn't resolve it. Yin and fascia work create space where words stop — coaching helps you integrate it.

### You sleep poorly or can't settle

Always on, overstimulated, short of breath. Through yin, breath and nervous-system regulation your body relearns what 'off' feels like.

### You want yin with personal coaching

Not just a yoga class. Tessa often combines yin with 1:1 coaching: first feeling in the body, then clarity in the here-and-now — without forcing.

### Emotions feel heavy or out of reach

In the stillness of a yin pose or gentle 1:1 coaching, feeling is allowed without forcing. Nothing needs to go — it may be integrated.

### You want soft coaching, no pressure

Boundaries, here-and-now, closer to your core. Tessa invites, forces nothing — and lets you find the answers that fit. On retreats too.

### Your body feels stiff, your posture heavy

Hips, shoulders or lower back that will not move with you. Tessa can teach yin, hatha or vinyasa with more emphasis on posture and mobility — same class form, different doorway. Not physio, poses adapted to you.

### You want ease in joints and connective tissue

Long yin holds often work in practice with fascia and the psoas as a way in. Many people notice more space; that is not a proven medical fact, a gentle body practice alongside a full yoga class.

If you need acute psychiatric care or trauma treatment: we refer you on. Yoga and coaching are not a substitute for therapy or medical care.

## How it works

1. **Free introduction** — 30 minutes by video. You share what's going on. Together you check whether a full yoga class, a class with emphasis on posture and ease, coaching — or a mix — fits. No obligations. Both doors stay open.
2. **Yin + personal coaching** — Online yin — as a full yoga class or with more attention to posture, joints and connective tissue. Often combined with 1:1 coaching, at your pace. First space in the body, then conversation where it helps.
3. **Integration & rhythm** — Sometimes one class or session. Sometimes a coaching journey, retreat or the 30-day challenge. Whatever fits you — without pressure to do more.
