YES! 🎉

Na 1,5 jaar op de wachtlijst te hebben gestaan, is het eindelijk zover: ik ben gestart met de opleiding Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)!

EAET is een krachtige, wetenschappelijk onderbouwde aanvulling op Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) - een methode waar ik met enorm veel passie mee werk in mijn praktijk. 💛

Vanaf april combineer ik EAET en PRT met Nervous System Regulation en toegepaste neurologie voor de behandeling van chronische (pijn)klachten. We werken op diepere lagen aan herstel, veiligheid in het zenuwstelsel en het veranderen van pijnpatronen.

Blijven leren en verdiepen is mijn drive. Een verlangen om mijn cliënten zo goed mogelijk te kunnen begeleiden. Op weg naar betere chronische pijnzorg in Nederland - stap voor stap, met kennis, passie en toewijding. 💛✨

Loop jij al langer rond met chronische pijn en voelt het alsof er méér mogelijk moet zijn?
Stuur me gerust een berichtje voor een vrijblijvend telefoongesprek of plan een intake-afspraak.

Samen zetten we de volgende stap richting herstel.

YES! 🎉

After 1.5 years on the waiting list, I’ve finally started the training in Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)!

EAET is a powerful, evidence-based addition to Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) - a method I truly love working with. 💛

Starting in April, I’ll combine EAET and PRT with Nervous System Regulation and applied neurology to treat chronic (pain) conditions. Working at deeper levels to create nervous system safety and real change in pain patterns.

I genuinely love studying, learning, and continuously growing. Ongoing education isn’t just something I do - it’s part of who I am. It’s how I make sure I can offer the very best care possible.
On a mission toward better chronic pain care in the Netherlands - with knowledge, passion, and dedication. 💛✨

Have you been living with chronic pain and feel there must be another way?
Send me a message to plan an introductory call or book an intake-appointment with me.

Let’s take the next step toward recovery together.

Ontzettend leuk om, op uitnodiging van een revalidatiearts, vandaag een uitgebreide presentatie te mogen geven over mijn ervaringen met en de effectiviteit van Pain Reprocessing Therapy, inclusief de wetenschap erachter. Dit alles aan een groep specialisten van Basalt Revalidatie, afdeling Chronische Pijn.

Op naar betere zorg voor chronische pijn in Nederland, waarbij het verminderen - en in veel gevallen zelfs elimineren - van pijn tegenwoordig écht tot de mogelijkheden behoort!

Embodiment & Structural Integration:
Transforming Your Being from the Core

Just as each of us carries a unique self-image that influences how we speak, move, hold ourselves, think, and feel, our bodies also hold patterns and tensions accumulated over time. Sometimes, those patterns can become stuck on auto-pilot and keep us away from what is possible, our opportunities.
To truly change how we move and function, we must address the underlying patterns within us, held in our deeper core.

Structural integration, series work, is a holistic approach to working with the body. In SI, we combine (myofascial) touch and movement. You could view the myofascial manual techniques as information for your system. Through the series work, I guide you in re-teaching your nervous system, creating awareness of old patterns and learning new ways to move from.

Let's go on a journey together of self-discovery and transformation, starting from within.

Curious about the Structural Integration 12 series? Find more information on my website www.physi.yoga or send me a message to get in contact.

Hi everyone!

I hope this message finds you well and that your 2024 started off comfortably!

Cheers to new beginnings!
In case you've missed my message through email, then via this medium, I would like to thank all my clients for your trust and support.

For me personally, 2023 was about taking the leap. Taking the jump to work full-time from my practice PHYSI.YOGA.
And wowziez, I could not be happier with that decision!!
It would not have been possible without you.. so thank you!!!

I'm excited to continue and add on my specialisation in chronic pain care and start offering Pain Reprocessing Therapy in my practice from half of February onwards. This transformative approach aims to empower you in your journey towards pain-free living. Stay tuned for more details. More on this soon!

I'm also grateful to continue teaching yoga classes at Inner Embassy and Max Health Club and therapeutic oncology yoga classes at OncoLife in The Hague.

Also, this coming year I will be teaching Yoga & Chronic Pain Care masterclasses.. Yep, I'm excited, to say the least!

May this new year bring you renewed energy, strength, resilience and joy.
Here's to a mindful year, thriving in every aspect of life. 🌟

Warm wishes,

Christel

I have come to understand that Structural Integration is first and foremost an exercise in developing self awareness - Archie Underwood

And like my mentor and friend Don Thompson reminded me.. This is the case for both the person receiving the sessions, as well as for the person giving the sessions.
Don, I couldn't agree more!!

Yesterday, I celebrated my 1st anniversary of being a certified Structural Integration Practitioner. Yep, it was this same Don, who handed me the certificate, together with Michael Watson!! (see second photo :)).

I could not be happier and grateful to have found, and to be able to practice this beautiful work.
This work has my heart! ❤️

Come and roll your mat out with me :)In focus for this evening's Yin Class and tomorrow's Gentle Yin Yang Class at will be the connections of the Spiral Line myofascial meridian.

Over these last weeks, we've explored the myofascial continuities of our Superficial Front and Back Lines, and our Lateral Lines. Based on the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration 12-series and its step-wise approach, we will continue this week with the connections of the Spiral Line.

Quite a magnificent line, if you ask me. You have two, on the left and the right side. One SPL runs from the back of the head on one side, crosses the back of the neck to the opposite shoulder, spirals around the ribcage, and travels via the external obliques on one side, crossing the midline (again!), connecting the internal obliques on that side to the hip. From there, it runs from the outside of the hip to the shin bone, looping around the foot, coming back up via the outside of the lower leg and the back of the upper leg to cross the midline once again, and travels across the sacrum further up via the longer back extensors to attach to the back of the skull. Do you still follow? ;) And well, you have two of them, one on the right and one on the left side of you!

Our magnificent Spiral Lines stabilize us in movement.
Curious?! Join me for an introspective Yin Yoga class on Wednesday evening (20.15 - 21.30) or an exploring Gentle Yin Yang class on Thursday evening (20.00 - 21.30) at Inner Embassy.

I hope to see you there! :)

This week in focus in my classes , is the magnificent Lateral Line, our side body!It is the third step in a series of classes, based on the 12-series Anatomy Trains Structural Integration. An holistic approach, which combines movement (education) with touch (myofascial manual therapy).
We will work through this step-wise approach in my Yin Yoga classes on Wed evenings (20.15-21.30) and Gentle Yin Yang class on Thurs (20.00-21.30) at . Instead of using manual therapy, we take it onto the mat, working with the myofascial connections in our body, and slowly painting sensation into the body.

This week, our focus is on the Lateral Line, connecting the front and back of our body. The Lateral Line is a bodywide myofascial meridian that spans the sides of the body. Reaching up from the underside of the foot, travelling up the outside of the lower leg and thigh to the top of the hip. From the hip, it connects our waistline, and ribcage, all the way to the side of the neck, to attach behind the ear.
As Karin Gurtner describes so beautifully in her new book "Anatomy Trains in Motion": "An expansive Lateral Line can evoke wonderful feelings, ranging from somatic spaciousness to easeful confidence in the way the body occupies space."

Myofascial meridians are not the same as the meridians we know from TCM, but some meridians and myofascial lines of pull, share an overlap in area, like between the LL and the Gall Bladder meridian. We will, therefore, connect our area of focus with the qualities of the Wood element from TCM.

Come for one or a few of the classes, or join the entire series of classes, where you can choose per week if you feel more like a Yin class or a Gentle Yin Yang class!

I hope to see you there!

Hey there!
While reading this.. do you find yourself again in the same corner of your couch, folded up like a croissant?
Why would it be important to move out of your habitual patterns? To go for the other side of the couch, or floor, for that matter. Why would you want to incorporate play, explorations and curiosity into your movement? Up for a little exploration? And then see if you feel the need to reposition, stand up or have a little dance ;)

Let's explore what happens:

NEUROPLASTICITY: The brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself in response to new experiences and learning. New movement stimulates the brain and promote neuroplasticity, creating new neural connections. These new connections can enhance cognitive function, improve motor skills, and increase overall brain health. Yep, you want that!

SKILL DEVELOPMENT: New movement challenges the nervous system to learn and adapt to unfamiliar movement. We develop new skills and improved coordination. Think about it, kids do this all the time!

AVOIDING STAGNATION: Habitual movement patterns can lead to physical and mental stagnation. Increased attention and concentration, can help keep your mind sharp and focused, avoiding mental stagnation.

COGNITIVE BENEFITS: Like we said, we develop increased focus, attention, and problem-solving skills. This engagement of the mind can have cognitive benefits beyond the physical benefits of movement. It can enhance mental agility, creativity, and the ability to adapt to new situations.

STRESS REDUCTION: Trying new ways of moving can create a mental break from routine and daily stressors, allowing you to focus on the present moment and enjoy the activity. Moving mindfully, with full attention to our movements, to our body, helps us turn the auto-pilot off, and lets us enjoy the present moment.

ADAPTABILITY: We become more adaptable in various physical situations, when we have different movement options. Whether it's responding to unexpected challenges or participating in different sports and activities.

How can you bring some playfulness, movement exploration and curiosity in movement into your day? Your body will thank you for it!

This week's focus in my yoga classes at Inner Embassy is the Superficial Back Line. It is the second step in a series of classes, based on the 12-series Anatomy Trains Structural Integration. This form of manual therapy combines movement (education) with touch (myofascial manual therapy).

In my Yin Yoga classes on Wednesday evenings (20.15-21.30) and Gentle Yin Yang class on Thursdays (20.00-21.30) at , we will work through this step-wise approach. Instead of using manual therapy, we take it onto the mat, working with the myofascial connections in our body, and slowly painting sensation into the body.
Every week, another area is in focus, slowly "peeling the superficial layers", and reaching into the Deep Front Line.

We bring awareness and attention to those areas through introspective yin-postures and gentle, curious movement explorations.

This week, we focus on the Superficial Back Line, connecting the back of our body, all the way from the soles of the feet, with the calves, the hamstrings, the sacrum, long extensor muscles of the back, all the way to the skull, and even over the skull to attach at the eyebrow ridge.
Qualities of groundedness, giving us a backbone and feeling of uprightness.
Myofascial connections are not the same as the meridians we know from TCM, but between some meridians and myofascial lines of pull, we can see an overlap in area, like in this case, between the SBL and the Urinary Bladder meridian. We will therefore, connect our area of focus with the water element from TCM and focus on qualities such as fluidity and softness, yet, grounded, firmly rooted below.

Water dances through our limbs, flows, moves, and morphs, reminding us that flow is a natural state.

Come for one or a few of the classes, or join the entire series of classes, where you can choose per week if you feel more like a Yin class or a Gentle Yin Yang class.

I hope to see you there :)

Most of you know I have a (severe) passion for my work as a Structural Integration Practitioner and love sharing and teaching yoga. What better way than to combine the two? :)

In my Yin Yoga classes on Wednesday evenings (20.15-21.30) and Gentle Yin Yang class on Thursdays (20.00-21.30) at , throughout the coming weeks, we will work through a step-wise approach with the myofascial connections in our body. We will use a similar stepwise approach as in Structural Integration (12-series), working with the more superficial connections of the body first, "peeling the onion", to get to the core tissues, the deep core of our body.
Although we are not using manual therapy, as in Structural Integration, through movement on the mat, we will slowly "paint sensation into the body". We will bring awareness and attention to those areas through introspective yin-postures and gentle, curious movement explorations.

You can choose to join for one of the classes, or if you would like to join for the entire series of classes. Feel welcome in a Yin class or Gentle Yin Yang, or switch them around, depending on if you feel more like Yin or gentle movement that week. Throughout the coming weeks, we will focus on a certain myofascial line/ area and relate it to the qualities of that line and its possible overlap with the meridians/ subtle anatomy we are familiar with in TCM.

This week, the Superficial Front Line is in focus, the uplifting yet protective front of our body. This SFL connects us from the tops of our feet, through the front of our lower and upper legs to the pelvis, and from the p***c bone of the pelvis over the abdominal muscles to the ribs, the sternum, all the way up through our Sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck, to attach behind the ear. Ever heard about a "forward head posture"?
Well, this myofascial continuity can either pull us down or it can help lift us up.
Did I spark your curiosity? Join me for a class at Inner Embassy. Hope to see you there.
