Yannick Smits
the Netherlands
Certified to Teach RussaYog Level 2

I’m a 28 year old Health IT-professional. Have been working as an entrepreneur since 2004. One of the most important reasons for being self-employed is my quest for freedom. In every aspect of my life I try to find freedom. Not being bound to or dependant on situations, people or activities. Not being distracted by past mind-stuff like expectations or identification with old community ideas. Everybody is worthy and trying their best with limited experience in life which for me is a reason to love and accept everybody and understand and thank them for their role in our dual world.

Thanks to my parents I got acquainted with freedom and alternative views on health also known as the holistic view. When I turned 20 I got to know a yogi that helped me for 5 years to understand and integrate many spiritual axioms into my daily life. Thanks to meditation and other techniques to achieve overall balance I became more and more aware of the game of life.

When Jason Blackman introduced me to Rope(RussaYog) Yoga back in 2004 I was extremely enthusiastic about this new tool for getting into balance. My irregular but thorough practice of wave windsurfing and snowboarding requires me to have a strong body at all times. I’m very grateful that the opportunity has come to balance my professional life more by becoming a Rope(RussaYog) Yoga teacher next to my consultancy work and work as a saxophone player.
