Liese van Dam

Liese originally trained as a hatha yoga teacher in India. Her journey with yoga started at a time when life didn’t give her a lot of satisfaction and she was looking for a way to bring spirituality into her life. Once discovered, she intensely practiced and taught all aspects of yoga – including pranayama, philosophy and chanting - for several years in various countries across the globe before settling back in her home country – The Netherlands.

By this time, she had experienced that Yoga & Ayurveda are two sides of the same coin and that practicing both alongside each other has a deep and powerful effect. In 2006 she officially commenced studying Ayurveda and graduated in 2010 from the Academy of Ayurvedic Studies with Coen van der Kroon, (now Delight Academy).

Ever since, she has been teaching workshops at yoga schools, retreats and in yoga teacher training courses. With a passion for yoga, nutrition and women’s health; Liese teaches these subjects from an Ayurvedic viewpoint. At Delight Academy | Ayurveda Liese teaches advanced principles in the second year of the Ayurvedic Practitioner Training and the always popular 10-day nutrition course for all who are interested. Apart from teaching Liese works as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and has a clinic in Utrecht where she gives consultations and treatments.

Liese’s motto is Ancient wisdom made practical for you!
