About Yalisa

Yalisa is an international certified yoga instructor and sound bath practitioner. Each of her classes is infused with tropical warmth and positive energy.

Whether you’re new to yoga or a Experienced yogi,  you’ll find space here to move freely, breathe deeply, and recharge your soul.

Yalisa is originally from The Netherlands where she pursued her professional dance career, developing a deep understanding of movement, body awareness, rhythm, and expression. Her path later brought her to Spain, where she spent several years teaching yoga, movement, and holistic wellness in both studio and outdoor environments.

Over time, her practice evolved beyond enclosed spaces and into open, natural settings. Through this transition, she discovered the profound effect that nature — particularly the ocean and jungle — has on the nervous system and overall well-being. 

Sound healing has been an integral part of her work for years, woven naturally into her teaching and facilitation. Through long-term practice, she works with vibration and frequency as tools to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, grounding, and inner balance, creating immersive experiences that complement movement and stillness alike.

Now based in Bocas del Toro, she offers Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Sound Healing sessions held on the beach and in the jungle. Her classes are intuitive, accessible, and designed for both beginners and intermediate practitioners, blending fluid movement, conscious breath, and deep rest.

Her intention is to create safe, calming spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and experience movement and sound as a form of natural medicine — without pressure, performance, or expectation.
