ABOUT THE TEACHER
CHRISEY DEN OUDEN 
Chrisey’s teaching journey began shortly after she fell deeply in love with Yoga in her mid twenties, over a decade ago. Yoga brought her home within herself and gave her the sense of grounding she needed. Now her passion lies in helping people experience the magic of yoga in their own practice.
In her classes Chrisey loves to emphasize on the joy of yoga and having a bit of fun while practicing. To move from the mind to the heart space and connect to ourselves on a deeper level. Since most of us have a tendency to be hard on ourselves, the focus of her classes lies more on self-compassion and learning to observe ourselves with kind eyes.
She teaches Yin, Yin-Yang, Hatha, Vinyasa and Mindfulness.
Chrisey lives in Amsterdam with her husband and two kids, and teaches Yoga in Amsterdam while also running her own Yogaschool on the island of Texel, where she lived for 5 years.
“Only when the thick cloud of thoughts moves away, we can experience the true lightness of the present moment.”
