OUR RAISON D'ÊTRE
hortari (lat., verb) : to gently encourage growth, expression, or exploration.
Hortari sprouted from my head in Lanzarote. In a busy city like Amsterdam, real connection can be hard to find.
I created Hortari to bridge that gap, using yoga not just to quiet the mind, but to bring people together.
ECOLOGY AROUND US,
ECOLOGY WITHIN OURSELVES.
At a pivotal, overwhelming moment in my life, yoga taught me to slow down, quiet my inner critic, and look beyond what I produce.
Believing that true sustainability starts within, I combined my background in Life Cycle Assessment and industrial sustainability with yoga teaching, finding the balance between a corporate job and a passion that makes me thrive.
Hortari is my way to gift the world with what I believe is essential for our mental health: moving, slowing down, and cultivating real connections in real life.
