Tim Schipper MSc.
YOGA PSYCHOLOGIST
Yogapsychology is a therapeutic practice that unites the wisdom of yoga with the insights of psychology. It works with body, breath, and awareness to understand the mind, release ingrained patterns, and restore balance. Through both yogic techniques and psychological guidance, Yogapsychology supports emotional healing, inner stability, and personal transformation.
1:1 guidance
A consultation helps you navigate mental, physical, and spiritual challenges. Together we engage in dialogue, create space for what is present, and through yoga and meditation practices you deepen your body awareness and connection with your inner world of feelings.
Online Yoga
Together with Marieke, I run an online Kundalini Yoga School. Here you’ll find videos and livestreams with yoga sets and meditations that inspire you to practice regularly and integrate your insights into daily life.
1:1 coaching
A Path to Self-Insight and Vitality
The one-on-one sessions guide your attention from the head to the heart. Instead of only listening to your thoughts, you discover the guidance that arises from within. From a place of inner calm and self-awareness, you learn to navigate thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns, while strengthening your awareness, vitality, and joy.
Sessions provide support in the following situations:
If you want unique personal guidance with your online daily yoga/ meditation practice (Sadhana), together we choose the right practice for you.
If you experience (too) much physical and/ or mental stress and tension (burn-out), I will help you to relax.
If you find it difficult to experience emotions (such as anger, frustration, sadness, joy, etc.), I will help you to feel and express them constructively.
If you are experiencing panic attacks and/ or experience strong fears, then together we work on building a trust and confidence.
If the need for more spirituality grows in your life, I give you guidance and techniques to achieve this.
REFLECTION
We reflect upon your question and look at it from different perspectives for deeper understanding and conscious action.
BREATH
Regulation of breath sets the foundation for meditation and our daily life. The optimalisation of our breath increases awareness.
POSTURE
With Yoga postures (asanas) and/or a breathing, mental focus, hand positions and sound we are able to influence body and mind.
SOUND
Rhythm and sound has a strong effect on our nervous system and influences our mental and physical condition. Sound is vibration and it vibrates the cells of our body and mind.
These values are central during 1 on 1 sessions
Learn to focus your attention
Regular meditation strengthens your ability to focus consciously. By deliberately shifting your attention, you create space for new insights and positive changes in your behavior.
Feeling comfortable with discomfort
Transformation often comes with moments of restlessness or unease. Instead of avoiding this, I invite you to connect with it. Discomfort often helps you uncover the deeper cause.
No previous experience required
The exercises are easy to apply for everyone, regardless of prior experience. Everything is tailored to your level, so you feel comfortable and can grow at your own pace.
About Tim
Tim (1985) is a grounded and compassionate Psychologist whose presence brings clarity, structure, and soulful depth to the path of transformation. An early fascination with the human mind led him to study psychology at the University of Amsterdam, where he earned his Master’s degree (MSc.) in Work and Health Psychology in 2010. During his studies, he practiced yoga and meditation, which helped him recover from an injury and offered new insights into thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
During his studies, he conducted two research projects on the effects of yoga and meditation on well-being: ‘The Effect of Mindfulness Meditation on Stress and Well-being’ and ‘The Effect of Guided Meditation on Stress Recovery.’ Both studies showed positive results and reinforced his decision to specialize in Yogapsychology.
Tim’s approach provides a stable anchor for anyone seeking change, healing, and inner growth. He creates space with integrity and authenticity, inviting true, lasting transformation from within. Currently, he runs the Kundalini Yoga School together with Marieke, leads Kundalini Yoga workshops and international yoga retreats, and is available for one-on-one sessions in Amsterdam.
Testimonials
“Tim showed me how blockages in my body refer to challenges on a mental, emotional and spiritual level. Tim linked my thought patterns, daily struggles and the big questions of life by simply listening to my story and giving them back in return. Tim is bright, loving, direct and intuitive. He shows me what I actually know, but what my own stories and thought patterns usually disguise. Each session I left full of inspiration and with fresh understanding!” Floor
“I think Tim’s approach is original. It feels nice to really have one-on-one contact with your yoga teacher. He immediately brings focus. Then he gave tips on the basis of a yoga exercise. I do this every day now and I take better care of myself. Tim guides us very honestly, carefully, lovingly and extensively and I experience this as very special. And the yoga, the emotional release, the heart-opening exercises and mantras, the mental support, and then also plenty of advice about nutrition! I am very grateful.” Evelien
“In a short time, Tim helped me pragmatically. In the session the focus was on the now and how I could help myself to worry less about the past, and in my case the future. Tim held up a mirror that kept bringing me back to the now. I now also do a short meditation daily which makes it easier to let go of control and to open myself better emotionally.” Tim
Yogapsychology:
discovering the connection between body & mind.
“Yoga is more than stretching the body—it’s a path to understanding the subtle layers of the mind. Yogapsychology brings this wisdom into everyday life, helping you become aware of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and showing you how to work with them consciously.
I am still deeply fascinated by the workings of the human mind: the more we understand, the richer and more fulfilling life becomes. My mission is to share this knowledge, so you can experience firsthand how Yoga and Psychology can nurture your inner calm, clarity, and self-awareness.”
