​

Her Journey

​

Rebecca, born in Madrid to a Dutch/Swiss father and an English/Spanish mother, is fluent in English, Norwegian, and Spanish, as well as Dutch and French due to her diverse cultural roots. Her initial encounter with yoga occurred in London during her 20s, where yoga meant a means to stretch and relax post-run or gym workout.

 

Life's twists and turns led Rebecca to Norway in 2009, where she immersed herself in the awe-inspiring natural landscapes, exchanging high heels for sturdy hiking boots, all while expecting her first child. Eager to integrate into her new home, Rebecca sought to learn the language and acquire new skills. In 2011, she took a significant step by enrolling in a 3-year Norwegian education program to become a Medical Assistant. Soon after, she commenced work at the local medical office and emergency clinic. During her free hours, she found solace in family life and exploring the majestic mountains.

​

Post the birth of her second child in 2012, Rebecca delved deeper into yoga, cultivating a regular Ashtanga practice and uncovering the myriad hidden layers of this ancient discipline. Each practice became a journey back to her roots, a rediscovery of her true self.

​

In 2017, she took her first yoga teacher training course, subsequently opening a small yoga studio in Hemsedal. Simultaneously managing the studio, teaching, and working part-time as a medical assistant made life busy yet wonderful.

​

Balancing, Learning, and Evolving

​

In 2022, after having survived the many closing restrictions during the pandemic, Rebecca decided that less was more and sold the yoga studio. Embarking on a new chapter as an independent yoga/meditation teacher and part-time medical assistant. 

 

Her absolute passion lies in helping people move, breathe, feel, and live better. In her classes, students not only experience her contagious energy, laughter, and positive vibe but also a deep connection to their own well-being.
