Desy Verkuilen

Tantric Dance, a space where I come home to myself time and again. It helps me to clearly feel my yes and my no, to dance with everything that lives within me — from joy to sorrow, from desire to resistance. In the movement, everything is allowed to be felt and experienced, causing old patterns and beliefs to soften and creating space for something new, something real. I therefore pass on this passion with much love and pleasure.

My path began early. As a child, I was connected to movement; dance, gymnastics, and yoga felt like a natural language. My mother took me into her world of mantra chanting and meditations, where I was able to experience the first seeds of consciousness, stillness, and connection. I found it magical, and I enjoyed joining in well into my adolescence.

Yet, like so many others, for a time I started living primarily from my head. Moving along with expectations, seeking stability outside myself, I became increasingly distanced from my body and my feelings.

After the passing of my mother and my divorce shortly thereafter, I was invited—or perhaps even forced—to turn inward again. What followed was an intense and honest path of self-development. I immersed myself in various workshops, training courses, and educational programs, in which I learned, layer by layer, to feel, open up, and embody again.

What once began as a personal quest has grown into the work I now share with love and dedication. Everything I offer is lived through. It stems from my own journey — a journey back to the body, to softness, to truth.
