My name is Mieke van der Velden / s.n.Chittamani (1949). In 1992 I got my first initiation from Swami Niranjananda. Yogaclasses by Swami Savitananda and a visit to the Biharschool of Yoga in Munger where I attended a Kriya Yoga course by Sw. Suryamani , made a deep impression on me and were the stimulation to become a yogateacher. In all those past years I attended many training weekends and conventions in the rich Satyananda tradition in Holland and abroad . Satyanada Yoga is the thread in my yogaclasses and in my own sadhana
In 2016 and 2017 I got training in "the second chapter of yoga" in Munger and I attended the Satyananda Yoga Nidra Teachertraining by Sw. Vedantananda in Holland.
In addition to my yogapractice I am a certified Eisra ayurvedic practitioner.
