The Flow Foundry is a podcast dedicated to the art of teaching yoga. As yoga teachers, we often navigate our journey alone, relying on trial and error to refine our skills. This podcast creates a space for open, inspiring, and authentic conversations that foster collective mentorship.  By sharing real stories from yoga teachers around the world, I hope to help teachers—including myself—gain more confidence, expand our knowledge, and shift from simply "teaching a class" to sharing the experience of yoga in its broadest and most transformative form.

    Episode 14: Creating Community and Connection Through Yoga with Kim De Becker

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really take to stay devoted to teaching yoga for over a decade, while juggling a full-time career, creative ambitions, and life’s constant evolution? In this episode of The Flow Foundry, we sit down with Kim De Becker, a yoga teacher whose 10-year journey is anything but linear. From stepping onto the mat at just 14 through contemporary dance, to exploring a wide range of trainings from vinyasa in Antwerp to yin in Portugal, pregnancy yoga, and Awakening Yoga, Kim has continuously shaped her own unique way of teaching. But what makes her story truly compelling isn’t just what she’s learned, it’s how she teaches. Rather than rigidly following sequences, Kim embraces fluidity. She leaves space in her classes to respond to the energy in the room, crafting experiences that feel alive, rhythmic, and intentional. Her approach? Keep it simple, anchor it in a clear message, and let real life be the inspiration. We dive into:  How she found her voice as a teacher (and why it took time)  The tension between authenticity and social media  Why 'community' is at the heart of her practice  And her vision for helping other teachers through future workshops We also get a glimpse of what’s coming next, including the Antwerp Yoga Festival celebrating ADM's fifth anniversary.

    Episode 13 (NL): Het belang en de verrijking van trauma-sensitief lesgeven met Saskia Haudenhuyse

    Send us Fan Mail In deze aflevering van The Flow Foundry praten we met Saskia Haudenhuyse over het belang en de verrijking van trauma-sensitief lesgeven. Vanuit haar expertise als gecertificeerd TRE® provider en trauma-informed teacher, deelt ze hoe een trauma-bewuste benadering yogadocenten kan ondersteunen in het creëren van veilige, inclusieve en gedragen lessen. We verkennen wat trauma-sensitief lesgeven in de praktijk betekent en hoe kleine, bewuste keuzes in taal, suggesties van poses en begeleiding een groot verschil kunnen maken voor de ervaring van je studenten. Saskia deelt daarbij praktische tips en concrete inzichten die je meteen kan toepassen, en laat zien hoe deze manier van werken je lesgeven net kan verdiepen en verrijken, zonder dat het beperkend hoeft te zijn. Deze aflevering is waardevol voor elke yogadocent die zijn of haar lessen wil verdiepen, bewuster wil omgaan met veiligheid in de groep en yoga wil aanbieden op een manier die zowel fysiek als mentaal ondersteunend is. 👉 Contacteer of volg Saskia 👉 Neem een kijkje op Klub Kalm 🦋 Follow The Flow Foundry on Instagram ✨ GIMMY vitamines - 10% Discount link

    Episode 12: A Lifetime of Human Experiences That Shaped “Warrior Flow” with International Yoga Teacher Lewis McNairy

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Flow Foundry, we sit down with Lewis McNairy, international yoga teacher, fitness and life coach, and the founder of Warrior Flow. Lewis shares the human experiences that shaped his unique approach to movement, teaching, and leadership. We explore how his background in the military, combined with yoga, dance, and music, led to the creation of a practice that goes far beyond physical strength. Lewis speaks candidly about resilience, navigating life’s challenges, and the importance of staying joyful, real, and embodied as a teacher. Together, we dive into what it truly means to guide rather than instruct, from teaching with clear intention and mindful adjustments, to cultivating community and presence on and off the mat. This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply inspiring, offering valuable insights for both new and experienced yoga teachers who want to teach from lived experience, not performance. 👉 Follow Lewis in Instagram 🦋 Follow The Flow Foundry on Instagram ✨ GIMMY vitamines - 10% Discount link

    Episode 11: Can a Yoga Mat Be Your Bridge to a New Life? - with Nicolas Willemsen about his Personal Transformation

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Nicolas, a 27-year-old former legal consultant who recently said goodbye to corporate life and committed to becoming a yoga teacher. Nicolas shares how it only took six months to feel something was off in his career, but four years to fully “cut the cord.” His philosophy is simple and powerful: if it doesn’t feel right, move. You're not a tree. We talk about how yoga entered his life less than a year ago and immediately felt like a missing piece: a space without performance, comparison, or ego. Coming from intense environments like CrossFit and corporate culture, Nicolas describes yoga as the first place where softness felt allowed and where he could finally listen to what his body needed, not just what his mind wanted. Nicolas opens up about a challenging mental and physical health journey, including depression, an ADHD diagnosis, later discovering autism, and experiencing heart issues that led to surgery.  🦋 Follow The Flow Foundry on Instagram ✨ GIMMY vitamines - 10% Discount link
