Jasper discovered yoga in 2008, starting with Okido yoga—a holistic and modern form of classical yoga enriched with Japanese Zen traditions. He later explored Vinyasa yoga, but once he experienced Ashtanga, he was hooked.

He completed the Teacher Training at Antwerp Yoga and has studied with teachers such as David Swenson, Tim Feldmann, Kino McGregor, and others. Since 2013, Jasper has been a dedicated student in the Mysore program at Antwerp Yoga, practicing under the guidance of Damien De Bastier, Nick Evans, Nuno Vintem, and currently Teune van der Wildt.

As a father of two, Jasper is also an avid practitioner of what’s humorously called the “seventh series” of Ashtanga—the practice of daily family life. For him, yoga provides grounding, structure, and energy to meet “the rest” with a smile, a joke, and a good story.
