  In early 2015 my partner Viki and I opened yoga studio TULA. A wonderful studio in the inspiring Spaarndammerbuurt (Amsterdam West). After three years we expended with a second location in Bos en Lommer (also Amsterdam West). Nowadays you can also find us in other places in The Netherlands because of the TULA Franchise studio's. Together with a great team of certified teachers and hosts we provide classes al day through, seven days a week. So, there's always a class for anyone. We teach: Yin, Vinyasa, Vinyasa slow flow, Ashtanga, Mindfulness, Restorative, Hatha, Lu Jong & Aerial Yoga. Besides the regular classes we deepen our knowledge with workshops and trainings. Tula is a young, fresh and energetic yoga studio where we can combine our love for hospitality with creativity and yoga. In each studio we aim to create a community where all yogis feel happy and appreciated. Feel free to come in and see for yourself.

  • Dec 2017 - Oct 2019

  Amsterdam's first happiness centre! Samen met TULA yoga studio's biedt Serotonin een unieke evenementenlocatie aan in Amsterdam West waar je kunt ontsnappen aan het drukke stadsleven. Naast een eigen programmering staat Serotonin volledig ter beschikking voor jouw unieke bijeenkomst. Een plek met 3 multifunctionele en prachtige ruimtes door de 4,5 meter hoogte, het vele licht en de groene planten. De naam Serotonin komt van het gelukshormoon serotonine. Serotonine is het stofje in je lichaam dat er voor zorgt dat je je goed en gelukkig voelt. Een tekort kan zorgen voor slapeloosheid, depressie en angstgevoelens. Alle reden dus om er voor te zorgen dat je voldoende serotonine in je lichaam hebt. Om je hierbij te helpen is Serotonin geopend: Amsterdam's first happiness centre. Inmiddels zijn we gestopt met Serotonin. De gedachten en visie blijven, maar de locatie hebben we opgegeven. Serotonin maakte gebruik van de locatie van TULA Yoga Amsterdam, maar nu daar iedere maand nieuwe lessen bijkomen blijft er weinig tijd en ruimte over om Serotonin in stand te houden. Wellicht gaat Serotonin in een later stadium zelfstandig verder... Show less

• Hospitality & Hotel Manager

  • Jul 2013 - May 2015

  Hôtel Droog is not a hotel like any other. It’s unique! Droog started twenty years ago with collecting design furniture and commission designers to create beautiful products. It evolved with a gallery and fashion store, and later when the chance occurred Droog started Hôtel Droog. At the same time Droog created the Fairy Tale Garden and started cooperating with Weltevree outdoor design. Everything is located in the beautiful historic buildings in the Staalstraat. This unique hotel, which is one big showroom and test area for guest, holds a lunch- and tearoom, has amazing designed rooms for events, and houses the ‘one and only bedroom’. The ‘one and only bedroom’ is our apartment of 55m2 which gives us the right to call ourselves a hotel. For me Hôtel Droog is the ultimate form of hotel management. Because the hotel is small but diverse it is a great place to practice my job and develop all aspects of hospitality. Coordinating the hotel bookings, lunchroom, staff and events is never dull, but very inspiring. At the same time the great design atmosphere boosts creativity and the freedom we have as an event location is ideal for event organisers to organise wonderful events. If you want to know more about Hôtel Droog you can always contact met via ruben@droog.com or have a look at http://www.hoteldroog.com/about/. If you’re able to stop by one day I’d be more than happy to show you around and let you experience the wonder of our designers hotel. Ruben Show less

  Working with a great team to provide excellent service to all museum guests and all other guest who visit the restaurant. The challenge is to please the guests asking for a quick cappuccino during their museum visit as much as the guest who is enjoying a five-course dinner at night. This diversity in guests and serving periods results in a very dynamic working place and asks for a professional staff able to cope with all situations.
