Authenticity, Attentiveness and Humor
Rianne's approach to yoga is so non-intimidating. I had back issues when I arrived at the retreat and she just met me where I was, giving me alternative exercises and making me feel very included. Her authentic soul shines through in her yoga instruction and at the meal table. What a special spirit.

Gentle and caring yoga teacher
Rianne's yoga lessons, offer a little bit of everything. In her "yang" lessons, she introduces a variety of breathing techniques, sun salutations, standing poses, balancing poses, chest openers, and inversions. The lessons cater to all levels, the pace is slow and steady. Her yin yoga lessons offer a wide variety of stretches, every time different, including one with partners - which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also got to experience a beautiful yoga nidra session, feeling utterly relaxed afterwards. Rianna is very knowledgable about yoga, incredibly gentle, and she truly sees her students and what they need. She's authentic, light, is up for a laugh, and caring.
Rianne is also a trained Thai massage therapist. I attended a Thai massage workshop in which she explained, demonstrated and we practiced a few basic techniques. I really enjoyed it!
