Yoga With Sanne
Hi, I'm glad you're here
I'm Sanne — yoga teacher, LYT-trained movement nerd, and (increasingly) someone who just likes writing down what I notice about bodies, breath, and being a person in a busy world.
On the mat, I blend physical therapy principles into my teaching to help you move — and feel — better. Off the mat, that same curiosity shows up in Quiet Letters and the occasional blog post.
Come explore a private session, customized just for you, or join me in a group class. Or just stay a while and read.
In their words
Practicing yoga with Sanne is incredibly empowering; Sanne places importance on education and learning within her classes, helping us understand why this kind of movement is so beneficial for both mind and body. Sanne has such a big heart and leads her classes with a calm energy, inspiring confidence even in beginners like myself! It is a pleasure to be part of her yoga community and to continue my yoga journey under her guidance.

Sanne has brought so much levity and joy to my yoga practice. Her sequencing is brilliant, and I often learn something new about my body. She is one of those rare teachers who I base my schedule around; when she teaches, I try my absolute hardest to make sure I’m there. Anyone who is looking to deepen their practice safely in a supported and thoughtful environment should be taught by Sanne ❤️

Sanne’s classes are special! With a healthy dose of Dutch charm and a playful spirit, Sanne offers sequences that are grounded in her deep understanding and passion for anatomy. Countless times her explanations or approach to accessing a joint or similar leaves me thinking for days, playing with the new information she’s bestowed. Always with a huge smile and the sweetest laugh, Sanne has authentic passion for people and her true interest is helping people feel their best and welcomes people of all skill levels to her classes. As a long time yogi, I don’t say it lightly that she’s one of the best teachers I’ve come across. Love you Sanne!

How I got here
I've been on the mat for over a decade now — though "diving into yoga" undersells how much of an accident the whole teaching thing was at first.
It started with a three-year Yoga Teacher Training back when I still lived in the Netherlands. Somewhere along the way I found the LYT Yoga method — created by a physical therapist — which is where anatomy actually started clicking for me, and where I really grew into the teacher I wanted to be.
These days, my classes are built around functional movement — finding that sweet spot between stability and mobility, so you leave feeling strong and resilient, not just stretched. I'm not interested in perfect poses. I'm interested in you feeling more at home in your own body.
Off the mat, I'm slowly becoming someone who writes things down, too — which is where Quiet Letters and the blog come in, if you'd like to stick around for that as well.
Quiet Letters, straight to your inbox?
Somewhere between classes, I write things down. Quiet Letters — for the days your shoulders have crept up toward your ears and the coffee's gone cold. Little pauses for busy, human lives, and (increasingly) a place my blog writing lives too. Nothing to earn, nothing to keep up with, no gold stars for reading them the day they arrive.
Just the occasional gentle note, landing whenever it lands — something to read slowly, or skim while you pretend to do neither.
Some are about movement, some aren't about yoga at all — just being a person, in a body, in a full life. There's no theme to keep up with here either. Just whatever's true that week, sent to whoever wants a little less noise in their inbox.
