Oona Giesen

Oona started with Iyengar yoga when she was 8 years old, in 1973. She has about 40 years of yoga experience and is teaching for about 20 years. She grew up with yoga since her mother Jeanne Buntinx was trained by mr Iyengar personally about 40 years ago and was one of the first yoga teachers in the Netherlands. Her teaching style is softer then most Iyengar teachers, but you can definitely feel the influence from Iyengar in her classes. She became expert by experience for back problems. After a serious car accident in 1998 she recovered herself extremely well with the hep of yoga. She has her own yoga school on the beautiful Greek island Paros, where she organizes every summer several yoga holidays. During winter she also teaches in Amsterdam and Asia.
