Willie Cohen Vroege
Beginning with creating a solid foundation, Willie’s first teacher Chethan Sateesh, helped her spark the start of a new understanding of yoga. After moving to Hanoi, she discovered Zenith Yoga, and many great teachers, including Marzena Kierepka, which encouraged her to later be enrolled in her first teacher course under Hart Lazer. She achieved her advanced teacher course in Manilla, also under Hart Lazer, and then did 3 years of Iyengar training under Peter Scott in Taipei, where she is currently awaiting her assessment for the Iyengar diploma. There have been also other great teachers that have allowed her to continue practicing and develop her passion, including like Racheli Cheney and Katy Cook. Willie strongly believes in teaching a solid foundation in yoga practice – correct posture is the key to proficient practice. She teaches yoga to develop a level of self-awareness both physically and mentally, and spreads the idea that yoga is for both the young and old; bringing all people to stand proudly in Tadasana.
