Katherine Walker (US)
Yoga & Meditation teacher
Yoga for Persistent Pain

Katherine is a yoga/meditation teacher with over 15 years experience teaching. Her own experience with chronic pain in her teens and 20s led to a growing interest in pain science, neuroscience, psychology and of course yoga/meditation. She now passionately weaves in the knowledge from her years of working in research with her teaching of yoga and meditation. When experiencing pain you don’t have to “tough it out”, or give up. Staying active in your attitude of self-care, befriending yourself;  practicing self-acceptance, self-compassion and forgiveness is essential to finding your way out of pain.

In creating the BodyMind Katherine hopes to inspire others living with chronic pain to stay strong, educate themselves about the causes of pain and believe that this too shall pass. Pain has a message for all of us about our values, motives, needs; it is steering us towards a life which is truly ours. Pain is not our enemy, it is the mud out of which we must grow.

Marcel van de Vis (NL)
Functional Yoga & Acupuncture

Marcel has been practising yoga for over two decades, after finding the healing benefits of the practice & meditation helped him navigate a difficult period in his life. He started his journey with Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and Vipassana meditation, moving into more static, alignment-based yoga.

Then he met Yin yoga’s founder, Paul Grilley and his wife Suzee, who showed him the physical, mental and spiritual uniqueness of every individual’s body. Studying under their wings significantly changed Marcel’s perspective on asana practice & meditation. The understanding that we’re all unique and therefore need a unique approach to whatever we do now underpins all of Marcel’s teachings.

Marcel is a highly experienced teacher, including teacher trainings & workshops worldwide as well as on-line classes on The Fat Yogis, an on-line platform that he co founded. He calls the style of yoga that he teaches Functional yoga, which explores how to use yoga poses in the most beneficial way for your unique body, rather than trying to force or fit your body into an aesthetic pose. Besides being a yoga, meditation and sports trainer, he is an acupuncture therapist as well.

Kelly Jegers
Ergotherapeut

Als ergotherapeut wil ik mensen met verschillende beperkingen helpen. Mijn fascinatie voor de hersen-flexibiliteit is altijd groot geweest. Ons brein is kneedbaar en kan door de juiste prikkels toe te dienen blijven groeien en leren. En wij als mens dus ook.

Ik begeleid personen die zich beperkt voelen op gebied van participatie, communicatie en hun dagdagelijkse handelingen. Mensen coachen, adviseren en trainen zodat ze terug optimaal kunnen functioneren in de maatschappij en ook op sociaal emotioneel niveau kunnen groeien als persoon is wat ik het liefste doe. Dit realiseer ik door verschillende therapieën en methodieken toe te passen zoals cognitieve therapie, fijn motorische therapie en sensorische integratie.
