Kasia Pokrop

Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1983

Born and raised in Poland, Kasia left her home country at the age of 22. Starting her journey in Ireland, she continued to Belgium, Amsterdam, Singapore, and back to Amsterdam, where she found her new home. It was also here in Amsterdam where her yoga journey began.

Daily practice of Astanga opened another world to Kasia. She became curious, wanted to learn more about the practice, where it is coming from and how she can share it with others. She followed 50hr Anatomy course with Jose de Groot in 2015, then joined workshops with Petri Räisänen, Ken the Rolfer, Edie Stern, David Swenson.

She travelled to Rome to practice with Lino Miele, and when she was about to sign up for a teacher training to further deepen her knowledge about the practice, she got pregnant. The interesting thing is, it didn't stop her from anything. Instead, it helped her grow, become more humble, appreciate more what you can do rather than seeing what you cannot do, and most of all - enjoy the time of her pregnancy. Something she decided she wants to share with others as well. 

Following her mantra 'practice, practice, practice' she finalized Basic Teacher Training 200Hr with Claudia Pradella and Eva Ugolini, followed by Pregnancy and Birth Teacher Training with Birthlight, and around the same time she certified as a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner, The Mongan Method.

Today she has a chance to share her passion for Astanga, and help women through pregnancy with prenatal classes, and HypnoBirthing® courses.
