“I attend Carmen’s yoga classes in Amsterdam and it is always such a special time! It is challenging, comforting and delightful every time. Physically and mentally reborn after the classes and somehow it gives me a feeling that I leave all my worries behind and I’m just happy. This is the reason, when I heard Carmen was doing a retreat in Portugal, I decided to go. The retreat was truly amazing! Extra long yoga to wake up and put you in the right mood for the rest of the day. Nice and long evening you sessions to make you relaxed and prepare for a peaceful sleep. Carmen’s soothing voice and extremely beautiful way of giving yoga is something I really love! Such a bonus in my life!”

— Gabriela, student

“Over the years, Carmen’s classes have guided me through heartbreaks, burnout and just the general emotional spectrum of the human experience. Her presence and words are so authentic, her knowledge vast and that makes her classes magical. I can’t describe it better than that attending her class feels like having a therapy, life coach and astrology session all rolled up in one. Carmen is one of the few yoga teachers I’ve encountered in my 10 years of practice that truly embodies what it means to be a teacher. You will leave her classes feeling grounded and restored, excited to go back.”

— Larissa, student/coaching Client

“Carmen is an exceptional teacher who creates a safe, calming environment that allows you to truly connect with yourself. She came to my flat for private yoga and somatic sessions, which made me feel even more at ease and comfortable in my own space. Through her intuitive approach and gentle guidance, I was able to cultivate a stronger mind-body connection, leaving each session with a profound sense of calm and self-awareness. I highly recommend Carmen to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves through mindful movement and Somatic work.”

— Carolina, coaching client/student

“As a yoga teacher myself, I’ve always admired and been inspired by Carmen’s ability to hold space, and make you feel held within that space. I was very drawn to working with Carmen when she started somatic coaching as I knew I would feel safe, but I also knew she would make the experience something that was easy to understand, process, and take out into daily life. Carmen brings a special blend of compassion, knowledge and intuition to her work. After just one session I found so much more understanding of where I was present, and in some cases disconnected, in my mind and body than I had felt in a long time.”

— Madeline, coaching client and yoga teacher

"In the past year I have followed several coaching sessions with Carmen and it has helped me enormously to establish a better connection between my body and mind. I had various physical ailments and I couldn't figure out what caused them. Through the conversations with Carmen, I began to understand better that a large part of the cause was that I did not always take good care of myself mentally. For example, I did not set my boundaries properly and I never really achieved deep relaxation. Carmen has continuously guided me in this and I have come to a point where I am much more aware of what I need to really feel good about myself and I have now gotten rid of most of my ailments! I am super grateful to her and very happy that I took the step to contact her (and take her wonderful restorative yoga classes). I felt heard and very comfortable with her. I can recommend a coaching program with her in combination with yoga to everyone."

— Maria, coaching client

"Working with Carmen is a breeze. She’s professional, flexible and just a delight to collaborate with. She cares deeply about what is right for the audience and makes sure they have the best experience. We from Hey Tiger! are in Australia did a live online mediation and a live online yoga session with Carmen. Our audience just loved it! We got so many great reactions. Next to both sessions being top class people mentioned how her warm character shined though. Both beginners and experienced yogi’s got so much out of it."

— Mirte, collaborator

"A gem of a human, Carmen threads spiritual mysticism with grounding narratives, helping each individual find their own pace of practice. Her expressive Vinyasa flows are equal parts strength and stability, allowing yogis to find presence in the moment and freedom in the flow. Her Yin classes create the space to fully let go and indulge in the here and now. Carmen’s dedication to honoring traditional asanas while constructing unique flows is admired and her classes will always be treasured."

— Desiree , student

"I have been joining Carmen’s classes for several years now and still enjoy each session to the fullest. She teaches in a calm, structured and focused way, which makes it easy to follow. She instructs each asana from beginning to end, always offers alternatives for different levels and gives adjustments where needed. I love her speeches about life, the moon and energy flows. Her classes are strong and powerful, as well as relaxing and calming. Whenever I practice with Carmen I can fully concentrate on myself and let go of all struggles I am facing. It feels like her voice as well as her sequences are really calming my mind and body and soul. Carmen always has a smile on her face and you sense from the beginning that she practices deep down from her heart."

— Lola, student

"Carmen's classes feel like a complete treat to the self, a journey through the body, mind and spirit, a dive into the magic world of yoga with fun and ease. Her voice is the sweetest and guides you along the way with a peculiar form of steady calmness. Practice with her is highly recommended!"

— Jonathan, yoga teacher

"Carmen is definitely my favorite yoga teacher! I’ve been practicing with her for a year now and I’m always looking forward for that Monday class now. She’s very gentle but also knows how to spice up a class, her flows are relaxing yet creative and fun. During lockdown I also followed some online yoga and meditation, and I have to say she’s been super helpful and she’s been really important for me to switch off and free up my mind during this phase."

— Paola, student

"Carmen is an amazing yoga teacher. I have practiced with her for some years now and it is always surprising how varied and exciting her classes can be. I never get bored with her. She has a lot of fantasy and she enjoys to frequently change her flows. She also likes to smile and she is great in meditation, with her beautiful voice she can take you to heaven. After a long day at work, yoga with Carmen is for me the best way to wind down and turn my head off."

— Antonio, student

"Carmen’s classes are amazing! She takes you through a wonderful journey of your body & mind. Her words, her flow, it all connects. After a class I feel completely zen."

— Sanne , yoga teacher

"In her classes, Carmen creates a very open and welcoming atmosphere. The focus is directed towards the intention and individual practice, which really helps me to focus on myself and my own goals. The physical ajustments she gives are very clear and helpful to discover the asana's more and more. She is very positive and her enjoyment of yoga energizes her classes. I like how spontaneous she is and her accessible approach."

— Maartje, student

"Carmen is an enthusiastic teacher that brings about a grounding and calming energy to the shala. Her knowledge of asana and body awareness shines through her communication to her students and her creative and effective sequencing offer a class of meaning and benefit to the body, breath and spirit of the student."

— Becky, yoga teacher

"A friend dragged me along to one of Carmen’s classes and it soon became our ritual. She went above and beyond to support me during my yoga teacher training and is always a wise voice to hear. If you listen closely to her lessons you’ll find great depth. Time with her is always exactly as it needs to be, and for that I’m grateful."

— James, student

"I followed a few classes with Carmen recently and I absolutely enjoyed it. I noticed that she thrives to adjust her class to you as an individual, which made me excel more. I also like the fact that her classes are creative with a spontaneous no - nonsense attitude."
