Marije (pronounce: "Mariah") was born and raised in Amsterdam where, after her training to be a professional ballet dancer, she studied law and worked as a corporate lawyer. A yoga retreat in Bali led her to the United States where she took her first yoga teacher training. She currently lives in a small beach town in New Jersey with her husband and two cats. She teaches yoga workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings around the world.

Amazing class.

Excellent retreat. The site is beautiful with wonderful food. Marije is a great meditation guide. Can't wait to be there again.

What a life changer this weekend was- Marije is a phenomenal guide in both meditation and yoga, as a means to reconnect with yourself, the world around you, and what you want and need. By the end of the time, I was present, and participating with an eye toward my own joy - and even in this short time, was able to lift heavy burdens of judgement / criticism in my practice.

I followed the Elements workshop from Marije and I loved it. With her great knowledge she explained the first part of the workshop all about de 5 elements. How they connect to each other and how to notice an imbalance and how to balance the element. During the second part we did a lot of exercises related to each of the elements to balance them. Here nice way of speaking and explaining made this workshop soo much of an treat to me. She inspired me to be more aware of the elements during the day and really listen to my body what’s it telling me. Nice tools to balance my body. I really recommend this 5 element workshop.
