Ine was first introduced to yoga in 1998 during her time at the dance academy, and it quickly became an essential part of her life. In 2010, after experiencing the deep benefits of yoga on both body and mind, she completed her first certification in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This marked the start of a lifelong journey of study, practice, and teaching.

She has studied with respected teachers such as Carlos Pomeda and David Swenson, and continues to be inspired by the Ashtanga lineage—drawn to its discipline, depth, and tradition—while maintaining a curious and open-hearted approach to learning.

As the owner and lead teacher of Antwerp Yoga, Ine’s greatest joy lies in teaching trainings, workshops, and retreats. Her approach is holistic and grounded in real-life experience, always aiming to support people in finding depth, clarity, and balance on and beyond the mat.

In addition to leading the Antwerp Yoga Teacher Training, she also teaches a 100-hour Yin Yoga Training and several advanced modules. She believes in the power of balance: while Ashtanga remains her anchor, she complements this dynamic practice with the stillness of Yin Yoga and meditation.

Ine is the author of Zenparents, Stress, and Slaap—three books that reflect her warm, practical, and mindful approach to modern life. With over 28 years of teaching experience, she continues to inspire students through her grounded presence, thoughtful guidance, and love for the practice.

When she’s not teaching or writing, you’ll likely find her with her nose in a book, by the sea or in the mountains, or simply enjoying time with her husband and three children, who remain her greatest teachers of all.
