Your Teachers
Alexandra van Schaik
Lead Teacher Yin Yoga
Alexandra is a dedicated and passionate holistic yoga teacher who describes herself in two words: Smiling Presence. She believes that facilitating presence and human connection lies at the heart of every practice, whether it’s a regular class, a retreat, or an in-depth yoga teacher training.
She skillfully weaves together her knowledge to help students explore and understand the true essence of yoga. Her classes are soulful, sometimes challenging, yet always centered on alignment, compassion, and individualized adaptations—ensuring that each student finds their own unique path in their practice.
She holds certifications in Ashtanga 200H, Vinyasa 500H, and Yin Yoga 100H, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to her teaching. Her holistic approach is grounded in the belief that yoga is a journey through many roads and landscapes. These landscapes, whether joyful or challenging, offer invaluable insights and new perspectives on life. In 2020, she expanded her work by becoming a holistic life coach, inspired by the four foundational pillars she integrated into her own life: Movement, Nutrition, Breathwork, and Meditation.
Yoga is far more than a physical practice; it is a way of life, enriched by daily habits born from ritual—and rituals born from daily life. In short, more than ten years ago, leaving behind a degree in hospitality and tourism management to become a full-time yoga teacher felt like the right decision for her. “Teaching yoga is more than a passion; it is a gift I have received and deeply cherish. Choosing to share this gift has been one of the best decisions of my life.”

Evy de Malche
Sound Healing
Evy approaches yoga with curiosity, presence, gentle boundary-expansion, growth, and a sense of lightness and humor. Her yoga journey began over ten years ago when a stiff back from long hours at a desk led her to the mat. After completing her first teacher training in Thailand in 2019, she discovered the depth and transformative power of yoga and began exploring the practice more deeply.
Since then, Evy has completed over 800 hours of training in Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Pilates, Sound Healing, and Reiki. Through teaching in a wide variety of settings — including studios, outdoor spaces, retreats, and festivals — she has learned that yoga and the art of teaching are not about perfection, but about presence, authenticity, and the willingness to explore one’s own path.
During the training, Evy will offer immersive sound baths designed to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and inner connection, creating space for integration, rest, and reflection throughout the experience.
