Guendalina was born and raised in Italy and she moved to the Netherlands in 2014. She approached Yin Yoga 5 years ago, she received a subscription to a yoga school as a gift from a friend. “That gesture changed everything”, “I was familiar with mindfulness, but quite resistant to any form of yoga. Yin taught me how to slow down, how to give myself permission to welcome what my body and heart needed to tell me.’ She believes that holding onto a meditative practice in a group gives you a special feeling of belonging and safety. Since discovering its magic and benefits she created "belong-yin" and has dedicated herself to the study, practice, and teaching of yin yoga.
