” In the welcoming warmth of Zanzibar, in the fine village of Jambiani, I found more than just a yoga school; I found a transformative journey guided by Rose. Her classes are lessons in postures, meditations and pranayama, and in the process she also opens doors to deeper layers of self-knowledge, self-love and spiritual growth. I learned about chakras, mudras and also about the importance of forgiveness, both for myself and others.

Rose’s presence is like the sea of Zanzibar, to the point, loving and warm. In her eyes and through her teachings my soul was reflected. She is not only a teacher, but a guide on my path to self-love. With each class, with each breath, with each meditation, my connection to myself and to Transformative yoga grew.

The environment in Jambiani is magical. The scents of the village, the sound of the surf on the beach and the warmth of the sun create a precious palette. The days were filled with yoga postures, meditations, delicious food and deep conversations. In the process enjoying the simple but rich life of this place.

Looking back on my time with Rose, I feel a deep gratitude. She has taught me not only the physical practice of yoga, but also the art of living. I am full of tremendous motivation to walk my own path as a yoga teacher. The lessons I learned in Zanzibar will stay with me forever, as will the unforgettable environment and the warmth of Roos’ teacher heart.”
