Five years ago, Michaël Bijker • yogalap Founder started me on this path.
I took his breathwork instructor course and I didn't know then how much it would change everything — how I work, how I live, how I show up for the people I serve.
Last week, in Portugal, I finally met teacher Michaël in person for the first time.
Five years of practice. Five years of sharing what I learned with others. And then, just — the same room. The same air.
He gave me these mala beads. I'm still not sure I've fully landed from that moment.
I've been away from this space all summer — holidays with the kids, short trips, long trips, and this last one in Portugal.
I'm coming back soon. Fuller. Quieter. More certain than ever about this work.
Thank you for still being here. 🤍
