Irene Sportel
Meet our DNYS Teacher
Irene (1985) works as a healing therapist, musician and yoga teacher and is a former medical doctor. She is someone who’s passionate about helping herself and others heal, to be happy and free and live life from the heart.
After working in the Western medical world for a few years, she followed her heart and went to Australia for her first yoga teacher training. Back in Amsterdam in 2014 she started teaching yoga at De Nieuwe Yogaschool. In that same year, she met Jose Antonio Manchado (Lanzarote) who introduced her to Rigpa Energetic Healing, a Tibetan way of healing. This had a tremendous positive impact on her own wellbeing and life. She learned to apply these Tibetan ways of healing to herself and others and works as an energetic healing therapist ever since. In 2017 she left her medical profession behind to fully focus on natural ways of healing. Also, she is a Tibetan sound healing therapist and musician and has given many sound healing concerts throughout the Netherlands. You can find some of her music on Spotify.
In her yoga classes you will enjoy a combination of meditation for inner calmness and peace, yin yoga and live music during the end relaxation. Irene shares the classes from her heart and guides you through the practices and meditations in a simple, light and playful way.
