Royce Benda

Who am I? At a young age Royce knew his heart wish was to serve all beings. Struggling with how to implement this in every day life, he found that to truly help others, he first needed to listen to his own heart. Through experience Royce learned how easy it is to outrun yourself and ended up in a burnout in 2010.

After the burnout, Michael Steinau introduced him into Being Orientation (Zijnsorientatie). It felt like coming home! Being Orientation, founded by Hans Knibbe, is a modern day approach to enlightened living. It is rooted in the valuable ancient knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism complemented with the best aspects of western psychology.

Michael became his teacher and introduced him to our Basic Goodness: an inexhaustible source of inner wealth, happiness, profound wisdom, love and clarity. Yantra Yoga and Yin Yoga complement his meditation practice and further deepen the insight that whatever is presented to you, it is perfect as it is.

Royce is delighted to meet you in one of our studios to hear about your stories, wisdom and insights. Whether you feel happy or angry, alone or full of bliss, you are welcome to share. It is his hope that Delight Yoga is a place where together, we remind ourselves of who we truly are.

Ultimately, the definition of bravery is not being afraid of yourself.
