Roosmarijn Fledderus

Hello, my name is Roosmarijn,

When I’m not on the mat, I’m practicing gymnastics and love to go out in nature with my dog, especially to the beach or forest. I love traveling and maybe in the future combine that with teaching! I am very curious about the human body, mind and soul and fascinated about the universe. There is SO much to feel and explore. The wisdom behind all creation. The consciousness within this mystery. To be a part of all of this…

My journey on the path of yoga started when I was 13. I felt lost in the world and within myself. I felt formed by society, adjusted to school and stuck in all systems. I was fighting, surviving and wanted to leave all this. Break free from the heaviness, darkness, pain and suffering. Who am I really? What do I want to do with my life?

Little did I know… I didn’t want to leave this moment of fully experiencing a human body, this opportunity to explore life on Earth, BUT I had to re-find my own light, my inner spark. I had a deep desire to live. And then yoga crossed my path, like a bright light that was, and still is, shining and showing me the way back to life. Yoga is guiding me (home). Destination unknown 🙂

I want (ed) to explore myself, find my own answers, to my own truth. I want to use/direct my energy so that I can  give a deeper meaning to life. To really understand it and soak it all up. 
I started feeling more alive, embodied, connected, and balanced, which reflected into feeling more grounded in the world outside the mat as well. It showed me that its not a way out, but a journey inward. Revealing the light that has always been there and has stayed through all times. It was still there. There was nothing to seek elsewhere, nowhere to go. 

During one of my first yoga-practices I remembered a feeling deep down of being completely free, limitless, being able to move in all directions. Floating in all and nothingness. Oneness, beyond imagination. A world where anything is possible. When I practice, I re-integrate that feeling. So now I can see that I don’t need to leave my body, mind or this place in the world. It’s here and now, within my cells, my heart and breath. It’s the magic spark within everythingin nature. Life is a gift.

I don’t know where this path will lead me, but I try to enjoy the ride, leave space for wonderand take one step at a time. I’m learning along. I’m forever a student, meeting myself on the mat, letting my practice be my teacher and mirror. During my classes I love to create a free space to breath and (be) move(d). Guided by the pulse of the heart, on the ritm of the breath. Allowing prana to flow through.

I followed the vinyasa YTT at Glow 23/24. Learned so much! When we move, breath and act with awareness, when we embody it, find our alignment, we create a clear and steady body and mind. The channels of prana (life force energy) open up. I learned, through both study and experience, the effect of opening in a logic, simple and wise way, so that we can express prana in every moment, through every asana and movement. The practice becomes a creation, a unique work of art.

Now, I’m following my 300h YTT with Simon Park; never done learning, I love it 🙂
I love to use the power of practical and technical knowledge to deepen and expand the practice on all levels. To create space from within. What are the possibilities? I remember Claudia saying: “We are free, when we stop thinking we are not”. What If we are powerful beyond measure, capable of anything. Yoga brought back my joy, lightness, happiness and the believe in magic.

Now one year later, I just started teaching at Glow. I feel beyond grateful for this opportunity!I would love to share my practice with you, to cross paths and connect/unite lights. To learn together, grow together and Glow together. “In the end, we are all walking each other home”.
