Dorine Mortelmans is een ervaren klassieke zangeres. Ze ontdekte de voordelen van yoga tijdens haar zangopleiding en het vormt sindsdien een fundament voor haar zingen. Tijdens haar vast solistencontract in Duitsland, bouwde ze een dagelijkse yogabeoefening uit. Het gaf haar structuur en houvast in deze nieuwe omgeving en zorgde ervoor dat ze zich goed in haar vel voelde. Nadien begon ze terug te freelancen en, naast het zingen, verdiept ze zich steeds verder in de wondere wereld van yoga en ademhaling (Yoga Verdiepingscursus Mind in Motion, Teachers Training Studio Hida, MBSR, Breath is life, The science behind Pranayama, Toumo – Institut Maurice Daubard, The Elements of Mastery – Matt Giordano, …). Ze leert steeds meer en meer voordelen kennen. Deze deelt ze graag tijdens privélessen en workshops.

Dorine Mortelmans is an experienced classical singer. She discovered yoga during her studies and it has been foundational to her singing ever since. During her time as an opera ensemble member in Germany, it became part of her daily practice routine. This gave her structure in her new environment and made her feel grounded and comfortable in her own skin. In the past years, besides freelance singing, she has deepened her knowledge of and experience with the wonderful world of yoga and breathing (Yoga Advanced Course – Mind in Motion, Teachers Training Studio Hida, MBSR, Breath is life, The science behind Pranayama, Toumo – Institut Maurice Daubard, The Elements of Mastery – Matt Giordano, …) and is continuously discovering more of its benefits. She loves to share them through private teaching and workshops.
