About Mindful Moves

Mindful Moves is grounded in a simple belief: wellness should be practiced with greater compassion and social responsibility.

My work brings together academic study and professional training in cultural anthropology, yoga (E-RYT), mindfulness, bodywork, barre, dance, and nutrition, creating an approach to wellbeing that is  deeply human.

For 15 years, I have taught movement, and later barre and yoga, to people of every age and background: children and teenagers in schools, adults in studios and wellness spaces, refugee centers, women empowerment centers and grassroots initiatives. Alongside this, I have worked with community-based programs in Europe, Asia, and Africa, learning firsthand how wellbeing is understood, and shared differently across cultures.

Mindful Moves grew out of this journey. A response to the need for more ethical, inclusive, and accessible approaches to wellbeing education. The need for education that is shaped around the people it serves, so that learning feels relevant, and true to their context.

" I found the workshop very helpful and fun. It helped me connect with my body more. Plus, it also helped me connect with the community I was dancing with. It's such a special experience because I can't really find free community dance programs like this in Cambodia."

"Ik kan Nina haar yogalessen aan iedereen aanbevelen, haar rust en aandacht laten je dieper zakken en beter je grenzen bewaken. Door haar achtergrond als danseres is het ook nog eens mooi om naar haar bewegingen te kijken, iedere keer weer helemaal opgeladen, ontspannen en blij naar huis! Dank je wel"

“Die Stunde bei Nina war eine wunderbare Einführung in die Vermischung von Tanz und Yoga. Sie hat genau die richtige Mischung aus den Elementen gefunden und am Ende der Stunde konnte ich eine ganze Choreo tanzen, was ich nie gedacht hätte.”

"I had tried yoga before and thought it wasn't for me - until I took Nina's class. Her approachable and down to earth teaching style made it easy for me to enjoy. Now, I find that yoga not only supports my work but also helps me feel better in everyday life"

"Нина соединяет лучшее из балета, йоги, аэробики и силовых тренировок. Занятия Нины проходят легко, мы прорабатываем все группы мышц незаметно для себя, почти в танце. Нина состоявшаяся танцовщица, она всегда следит за осанкой учеников. Вытягиваясь вверх, как балерины, мы радуемся своим отражениям в зеркале и забываем, что у нас в руках гантели и мышцам приходится хорошенько поработать, чтобы выдержать предложенную нагрузку."
