More about Jane & Ilse

The teachers

I host and teach this training together with Jane Bakx who is an experienced E-500RYT Yoga Teacher.

We have been hosting a lot of teacher training courses together over the last 5 years. We have hosted teacher training courses in The Netherlands in Spain and online.

”The perfect duo!” This is the feedback we get every single time we teach a yoga teacher training together.

Our students say we complement each other so well, we are the perfect Yin & Yang, a good balance between heart energy and being grounded.

I like working with Jane. Jane knows so much about anatomy, alignment and the practical part of teaching. I love teaching about philosophy, energy, pranayama and meditation. This makes us a great team.

Ilse Sobering 

Spiritueel (Business) Mentor, International Yoga & Meditation Teacher E-RYT 500, EFT Practicioner, Energy Healer & Mindfulness en Breathwork Trainer

I am Ilse I am passionate about energy, how our brain works, about heart intelligence, the connection between your brain and your heart.

I have specialized in working with energy, manifestation, the power of breathing, meditation, Yoga Nidra & hypnosis.

Studying, learning new things and implementing them makes me very happy. Especially about ancient wisdom combined with contemporary science and research. And my great passion is to share the things I’ve learned with you

Pranayama & Breathwork

For me learning more about the power of your own breath really changed my life!! I really think that if you know how to work with your breath, that it can really change your life.

Since I have started with yoga, I have always been drawn to the ancient pranayama techniques and the more modern adaptations of those techniques that we now call “breathwork” . I always include them in the classes that I teach and over the years I have studied a lot on the breath. Breathwork & Meditation became my favorite topics to teach. Therefore I am very excited about this training!

Via House Of InnerPower you can follow various training courses, both online, in Spain and in the Netherlands and Belgium.

I did a Yin Yoga TT with Ilse and the Yoga Nidra Training Course and can absolutely recommend it! Ilse has a huge knowledge of Yoga and she is a really go0d teacher!
Even in this special times, where the training could only be hold online, she managed to create a beautiful atmosphere and connection in the course. If there is any other training with Ilse in the future I will do it ! ????
Alexandra Miebach / Yoga Teacher, Germany
Learn from the best' is what they say. And so I did!
Ilse is a down to earth spiritual guide.
She knows a lot about all the different facets of yoga & meditation. And she's passionate to share all her knowledge.
For me it uplifted the complete yoga experience
 
 
Julia  Persijn / Yoga Teacher The Netherlands
Ilse is such a warm and open-hearted woman, so encouraging and conscious, so funny and true, that it was a real pleasure and big inspiration to attend her philosophy lessons and the meditation, pranayama and asana classes.
To me she really managed to make this whole spiritual part of yoga somewhat tangible and also fun and I feel that I now understand so much more what yoga actually is and what benefits it has for my life as a student as well as a teacher.
If you ever have the chance to attend one of Ilse's retreats, classes or trainings please do so and experience her unique female guru energy.

Jane Bakx

Yoga, Meditation & Breath Teacher 500 E-RYT

Jane is an E-RYT500 yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance certified) from the Netherlands. She lived most of her life in Amsterdam and worked as a producer in advertising. She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching for over 5 years. After her two yoga studies (both in India), she decided to leave her job in advertising and follow her heart and passion for yoga full-time. Since then she has been teaching all over the world and organizing yoga teacher training courses and retreats. Jane’s home base is now on Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands.
Yoga for Jane is mainly about connecting with yourself; with your body, mind and heart. Yoga teaches you to listen to your body more. The focus in Jane’s classes is therefore on making that connection with yourself and at the same time on gaining strength and flexibility.
She mainly teaches Vinyasa yoga and Yin yoga. Both styles in her own way. In her Vinyasa classes you move quite slow so that you can really get into the poses, feel your body and build a lot of strength. During the Yin classes you go deep inside.
Jane also has an enormous passion for the human body, anatomy and physiology. You will notice this in her instructions during her yoga classes. During the teacher training courses it is very clear too as Jane is  super happy to share her passion and teach her students everything about the human body, related to yoga, in an enthusiastic, clear and fun way.
