Elleke van Kraalingen

My journey in yoga and meditation began as a child. Around the age of 14, I spontaneously started meditating, following an inner guidance that brought me to the yoga path. I completed a Rāja Yoga Teachers and Masters Training, in addition to a study of Naturopathic Medicine and a training in Esoteric Healing. After that, I graduated as a psychologist in Clinical and Health Psychology and had my own practice for decades in which I have integrated all these disciplines. 

Since 1988 I have been teaching Yoga and Meditation and since 2000 I have also been training teachers. Yoga and meditation are a way of life for me and a source of joy, peace and inner freedom. 

I am the mother of 4 children, Nani of a growing number of grandchildren and a passionate horse woman.

 

Since 2013 my husband Pieter and I live and work in the South of France, where we offer various retreats and international teacher trainings in yoga and meditation and trainings in Esoteric Healing.

Originally I am a physiotherapist. In my practice I came across the limits of what I could offer people as a physiotherapist. I also came across the same limits of possibilities in Manual Therapy. Then I started to train in cranio-sacral therapy, which gave me more understanding of the relationship between emotions and physical pain and blockages. In order to gain more insight into the functioning of energy and to be able to work with people even more subtly, I started the Esoteric Healing training. Many lines came together. Together with Elleke I started to delve further into healing and meditation and I became a teacher. I still treat people who feel stuck, physically and/or emotionally. However, now I do this from a more complete picture of the human being.

 

I like to summarize my vision in the following statement:

 

Every person is healthy when their feelings, thoughts and actions are attuned to each other and to their environment.

 

Together with my wife Elleke I hope to continue working on this in our company Borde Blanque.
