About us/me

Plants, adventure, sustainability and self love

HI! I'm Roos (Dutch spelling of Rose). I am a content creator, yoga teacher and entrepreneur from The Netherlands. I create daily content about plants, sustainability and self love on my Instagram (121k), YouTube (58k) and TikTok (14k). I also organise events to bring people together, am a speaker and I occasionally sell plants and merch. I live in a small fishermans house with my boyfriend, 2 cats and 300+ plants. Oh and I'm bi (hi LGBTQIA+ fam!). Social justice, inclusion and equality are super important to me, as well as sustainability. Welcome! 

Yoga teacher

I started yoga back in 2000 at age 15 (my parents made me). After my first yoga teacher training I started teaching in 2009. Fun fact: I am a third generation yoga teacher! My maternal grandparents both practiced yoga, and grandma taught it too (when the regular teacher was away). Both my parents are yoga- and meditation teachers, we actually used to organise retreats together. In 2017 I did a second yoga teacher training (Vinyasa) and started teaching yoga fulltime. The many weekly classes, different studios and very different students helped me gain invaluable teaching experience. Those students and some personal injuries taught me how to adjust poses for limitations and injuries and to make class welcoming for everyone. Because of covid and a serious head injury in 2020 I had to stop teaching weekly classes. Now I teach workshops for businesses, at events and also teach yoga on tv! In a new Dutch tv program called Zentijd

Entrepreneur

Funny story, I seem to love making businesses out of what I love to do. Like how I started my first business back in university when I couldn't find a beanie (hat) to match my snowboard jacket - so I made it. And then my friends wanted some too. Being raised by a very creative mum and grandma plus having done Steiner (Waldorf) school helped of course.

Or how I realised I wanted to be around animals more, and needed to be outside so I started a pet sitting business while recovering from a burnout :) Many fluffy cats and dogs were cuddled.

I became a fulltime yoga teacher and now I have found my niche in the plant world. 

Plants make me feel zen

I hope my content helps you

to love them (more) too!
