She likes to weave different styles and approaches to working with the body, mind and spirit into her classes. She has grown to love teaching the more introspective practices, such as Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra, for their powerful methods when it comes to easing chronic pain and tension in the body, balancing emotions and building mental resilience. Sjaan was born in South Africa and has been facilitating practices that encourage and enhance our sense of well-being, creativity, connection with ourselves, one another and nature since 2012. Contemporary dance, yoga, pranayama and meditation are all practices that are a part of her daily life and she thrives on sharing these with others. About the retreat centre / Suryalila Yoga Retreat Centre in Andalusia, Spain, is the perfect place for a relaxing, nourishing, warm and friendly escape. As a guest you can enjoy your yoga practice in one of their beautiful studios, stay nourished with their renowned organic vegetarian buffets, relax by the salt water pool, or indulge in a massage. All this and more set in magical surroundings with epic views.
