Partnerships & recommended resources

The Breathwork Movement (founded by Nikki van der Velden) is the leading Dutch platform on breathwork — with in-depth articles, books, webinars and a nationwide breath events agenda. Johannes is listed in their official Breath Coach Finder as a certified breath coach (category 'Beyond borders — online'), specialising in Connected Breathing and Rebirthing Breathwork. We value TBM because they translate breathwork in a way that is both scientifically grounded and accessible — exactly the bridge we try to build between research and lived experience. Their breath coach trainings and certified coach network are among the most serious in the Dutch-speaking world. For anyone wanting to dive deeper than our blogs, or to find a coach in their own region alongside our online and nomadic sessions, their coach directory and knowledge base is an excellent starting point. Their Nervous System Regulation handbook complements our own e-book on the vagus nerve.

YinYoga.com is the most authoritative platform worldwide on Yin Yoga, built around the work of Bernie Clark — author of The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga and one of the leading voices within the modern Yin tradition. The platform combines in-depth articles on anatomy, functional postures and meridians with an international teacher directory. Tessa is listed in this directory as a certified Yin and Hatha teacher, meaning she meets the quality standards upheld within this global community. We link to YinYoga.com because it's one of the few places where Yin is treated seriously — not as a 'gentle version of yoga', but as its own discipline with distinct anatomical and energetic principles. For anyone who wants to go deeper into the theory after our own Yin pages, or find a Yin teacher outside our online and nomadic sessions, this is the place to start.

New Nature Yoga is the yoga school where Tessa completed her teacher training in 2022-2023 — the foundation her current practice as a Yin and Hatha teacher is built on. The school offers fully online, Yoga Alliance certified teacher trainings (200h Hatha, 200h Yin, 50h Prenatal), built around head teacher Dorien, who spent years living and teaching in a traditional ashram in India. That background sets the tone: authentic yoga philosophy and classical ashram tradition, translated into a modern online learning experience — with personal feedback, a clear curriculum and attention to both technique and inner depth. We value this because the training doesn't stop at postures and anatomy but genuinely takes students into philosophy, pranayama and meditation. For anyone considering becoming a yoga teacher and looking for a thorough, affordable online training rooted in a strong traditional foundation, New Nature Yoga is a school we can recommend from lived experience.

Coach Dichtbij is a Dutch platform connecting people with certified coaches in their region — with a deliberate editorial voice and attention to the person behind the coach, not just the offering. Johannes is listed there as a breath coach and wrote a guest article for their blog, 'Breathwork coaching in a nomadic life — the world as our practice', reflecting on how our travelling lifestyle relates to guiding clients and what it teaches about presence, rhythm and letting go of fixed structures. We value Coach Dichtbij because they present coaches as craftspeople with a story rather than as products — exactly the tone that matches how we think about our own work. For anyone looking for a coach beyond our own sessions (or simply curious how different Dutch coaches work), their directory is a good starting point.
