Instructors
Govert Van Lankeren Matthes
Govert is originally from The Netherlands and worked as a contractor for many years. After noticing, his body was practically always aching from this kind of work, he decided to take a yoga class in his hometown, Amsterdam. He found out that it really relieved all these aches and started to get more interested in the world of yoga. It only took a while before he decided to start all over and packed his bags to achieve his yoga teacher certificate in Hawaii. With the dream to open his own hot yoga studio, he ended up in Phuket, a place he visited before when traveling many years ago.
Elsa Krenn
A renowned psychotherapist in Holland, with a Ph. in Psychology, Elsa has a practice in Amsterdam and extensive experience in mind-body integration. Elsa believes in the healing benefits of the 26 & 2 classes at Kata Hot Yoga and often travels to Kata Beach with her clients to work with Govert for short periods of time. At this year’s Kata Hot Yoga Teacher Training, Kes will be practicing hot yoga with trainees and teaching mind-body integration through her series of lectures.
Erik Persson
Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher and yoga competitor, Erik graduated from Bikram Choudhury’s Teacher Training in Fall of 2009 and was named 'Best Yogi' out of the 300 trainees. Erik will be teaching classes and offering in-depth explanations and demonstrations of postures at the Kata Hot Yoga Teacher Training.
Grace Flannery
Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher, Grace began practicing yoga in Boulder, Colorado, while studying Journalism and French at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Because of several physical injuries from sports and a spine condition, Grace found her passion for the mind-body connection, healing modalities, and personal development. Since leaving her former career, working for L.A. based entertainment companies, Grace committed to daily yoga practice and experienced an awakening of her creative and intuitive channels.
Balwan Singh
Balwan grew up in Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Rishikesh is known as the yoga capital of the world and yoga has always been a part of his life. Balwan has been involved in training yoga teachers internationally for the past 12 years. His engineering background offers a structured and scientific approach to yoga postures and philosophy. He delivers lectures and sophisticated tools to make ancient yoga wisdom accessible to a modern audience and teaches the eight limbs of yoga, the framework for laying out the path for success.
Riji Suh
Riji has been intensively practicing yoga since 2004. She has been teaching the 26 & 2 (Bikram series) since 2006 while studying and teaching within and from other yoga lineages. For Riji so far, the creative quality in teaching is most effective when the practice’s foundation is based upon deep experience in traditional systems. She stays inspired to expand/extend root principles through her own practice journey. She is currently based in and teaches public classes and private clientele in NYC.
