About the yoga-teacher
My name is Jop van Bragt from the Netherlands. I have been working as a yoga teacher since 2016 and did the Hatha Yoga education with Arhanta Yoga. Followed by many in-depth courses. The attention for breathing and relaxation are the basis for my lessons. Yoga is for me relaxed breathing in posture and movement. A nice workout with necessary relaxation. I speak English, Norwegian and Dutch and have lived for some years in Norway. During these weekends I´m available for questions. Come as you are!
