I once loved leading energetic group classes—moving, sweating, sharing that group energy.

After 30+ years teaching and daily training, my body forced a change. Degeneration at L4–L5 and hip dysplasia discovered at 57 made athletic yoga and bodybuilding no longer suitable. A long recovery gave me time to listen and to change. I shifted from mainly group classes to personalized sessions, adapting movement to each person’s body, goals, and life stage.

You can find me at the Yellow Cunucu House where Happy Buddha Aruba began in 2012.

My focus now: Pilates for alignment, core strength, and a healthy spine; Yin Yoga and Deep Stretch to slow down and release tension; Qigong for breath, mindful movement, and positive energy.

Wellness, to me, is no longer about pushing harder—it’s about listening and learning to move differently, not stopping.
