SACRED SEQUENCE - NICARAGUA
This unique 200h training complements the rich tradition of the authentic yogic teachings with a more contemporary, psychosomatic approach to spiritual empowerment. The ‘Sacred sequence’ Vinyasa method by Conscious Corner blends intuitive movement with structural alignment - and sequence- principles from the traditional Vinyasa Method. The essence of the practice is authentic expression and expansion of your true self on and off the mat.
Intention and heartfelt devotional practice are key to discover the unique power of your soul and translate it into (y)our world. Our training focuses on experimental learning and exploration through the body, authentic movement, energy work, emotional intelligence, empowering speech and community. We believe that a committed yoga practice awakens our ability to make an impact on people and planet and anchors us into commitment to do so.
To us, the greatest teacher is the forever student who embraces the yogic values at heart and continuously commits to a purposeful practice on and off the mat. This way, yoga and embodiment of authenticity offer a gateway to uplift the individual and society at large.

ANN SCHERPPERS
FOUNDER & LEAD TEACHER
E-RYT 500
FACILITATORS
Ann grew up as a very sensitive soul, with many questions about life, society and the way we live our life on earth. Being a ballet dancer since the age of six, Ann got to grow her understanding of the human body as a means to express and transform unspoken & unprocessed feelings into art. Being a lifetime perfectionist, Ann recovered from a life-threatening eating disorder at the age of 12. She healed herself through a sudden glimpse of consciousness, where she could see herself as an observer and quickly understood that society’s standards are by no means a premise to one’s own fulfilment and happiness. Instead, connecting to one’s inner wisdom and befriending oneself (body and mind) in the process is. To Ann, the body and its movements offer the greatest vessel for personal and collective liberation. Safety and curiosity are two key ingrediënts to fully surrender and let go into the body and anchor into a deeper state of trust into the Self and the world around.
For the past ten years, Ann has been deepening her experience and knowledge about the practice and lifestyle application of yoga as a tool for body and mind. She has experienced immense shifts in her life by cultivating an approach of possibility and courage towards herself and the worlds that surround us. In this process, she has transformed her inner critic through awareness and devoted her energy intentionally towards the creation of a more loving earth and humanity. This way, her personal mission exceeds any personal limitations and she has been blessed to inspire many through this embodiment of love and compassion. She holds a safe space for everybody she encounters and wants to create space in the human heart to feel love(d) and to see possibility within the limits.
Ann is an activist for equality and accessibility in the field of yoga and all her endeavours give back to a better, more connected world for all beings and animals. With two master degrees in public and private management, her dream is to make a change on an institutional level. She believes in a world, where humans use self-awareness as tool to transform their own pain and judgements for the sake of something better. Where we move from compliance to an external force, into a deep connection and guidance from our inner source.
At the Age of 5, Karoline laid the foundation for a
lifelong journey into the world of music and sounds
with the violoncello. Over the years, the voice became
an essential and central part of her practice and a
tool for deeper self-connection and healing.
Recognizing the liberating impact music had on her
life journey, she pursued studies in music therapy as a
means to ongoingly support herself and others.
In the midst of her music therapy work, she felt another
calling - the path of yoga. Deeply touched by the
sacred sounds of yoga, Karoline found the resonance
of mantra chanting to be a gateway to personal and
collective transformation.
In this convergence of music, therapy and spirituality,
she discovered her calling and a deep sense of
fulfilment through service. To Karoline, each chant is a
sacred offering to illuminate the power of the heart.
