Bio: Jennieke, Founder Sharanam yoga; Yoga Instructor, was born in the Netherlands. Jennieke finished High school and unexpectedly became a top model and traveled the world for the next 12 years. Her first Yoga experience was in Munich, Germany at the Sivananda yoga center. An Ashram, where a group of Yogis lived, practiced and taught Yoga. She feels very fortunate to have started her Yoga path there and after practising for about 20 years,she knows she learned the real spirit of Yoga - serene, calm, knowledgeable, noncompetitive.

She learned home practice and took Yoga with her all over the world, wherever she had to work as a model. When living in NewYork, Jennieke did Integral Yoga and some Jivamukti Yoga.
After living in Milan, Paris, Munich, NewYork, Miami Beach; she came back to The Netherlands to connect all the foreign impressions and languages with her homecountry.

After living in Amsterdam for a year, she missed the soft breeze, air, open sky and ocean of Miami Beach. Jennieke decided to move to Miami Beach. She gave birth to two amazing girls,Cloe Gea, Serena Lotus. Happily taking care of her daughters,she kept practising Yoga during pregnancy and after. It was the best thing to do.
