My Story

I am Pleuni Apollonia, yoga teacher and musician, from the Netherlands. My mission is to create a sacred space where individuals can journey inward, reconnecting with their inner wisdom, their souls, and their true selves. Through bodywork, sound and ceremony I aim to facilitate a journey of remembrance—a journey back to the essence of who we truly are, so we can live more peacefully and joyfully free from obstacles. Through immersive experiences, healing rituals, and ceremonies, I help you tune into the whispers of your subconscious.

My name, Pleuni Apollonia (which is my real given name), carries a significance that beautifully mirrors my journey and purpose. Derived from the name “Apollo,” a multifaceted deity associated with music, art and healing, in ancient Greek mythology, “Apollonia” meaning; ‘dedicated to Apollo’, embodies themes of creativity and spirituality. 

In 2013, I graduated from the Academy of Arts as a dancer and choreographer, but it wasn’t until later that I found my true calling. In my year of graduation I also finished my first Yoga teacher training and started teaching classes right away.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively, immersing myself in diverse cultures and teachings. My time spend in many different communities all across Central America, India, the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Thailand, has enriched my practice and deepened my understanding of the human spirit.

In the field of Yoga I feel grateful to have studied with teachers like Jo Phee, Gary Carter and Julie Martin, for they have opened my eyes in many ways.
The Vinyasa classes I teach are an exploration of the body’s natural way of moving and in my Yin classes we practice in a very meditative way. In my retreats and workshops I always invite students to feel into their own body and decide with openness and curiosity what it is that works for them individually.

Today, my focus lays on creating transformative events and ceremonies that blend the healing power of music with ancient wisdom. The power of sound is something I am fascinated with. In my soundhealings I work with specific vibrations to help release tension and promote emotional balance.

Together with my partner Robert, a talented musician and guitarist, we co-create immersive experiences like the ‘Mantra & Medicine weekends’. These weekends are a sacred journey of self-discovery, where we gather to explore the healing properties of plant medicine, sing songs from around the world, and cultivate connection with ourselves and each other. Music unifies, and brings you more into your heart.
