Focusing on now instead of tomorrow.

Always on the move and ready for another workout, Basiet first took a yoga class to complement his CrossFit sessions, but soon discovered it did much more for him than just improve his physique. He loved the renewed focus and calming effect of yoga so much that he decided to become a teacher himself.

Basiet’s roots lie in India and Suriname. Although he doesn’t really consider himself Dutch, he feels very much like a true Rotterdammer. He loves the architecture and quality of life in the city and will typically spend his free time (when not working out or doing yoga) with friends, cycling through town or catching a movie.

When in need of travel tips for the megacities of the world, go to Basiet – he’ll tell you exactly where to go. When he’s not teaching, you’ll probably find him in Bali – a place he returns to as often as he can.

He completed a 50-hour Broga Teacher Training, a 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher Training, 50 hours of Yin, and a 500-hour Pralaya Teacher Training.
