While studying and working as a social worker, Sjoerd developed a passion for tattoos. In 2017 he started tattooing himself, family and friends and from 2018 on, this grew organically into his job.
In 2020 he completed his Yoga Teacher Training in India (200 hours Vinyasa and Ashtanga). Although he had no plans to teach, after continuing to study yoga, the urge to share this wonderful knowledge came up.
​
After these years it was time to merge these passions together in its new form: BALANCE.
​
In 2023 Sjoerd went back to India to continue his education. He completed his 300 hours in Hatha yoga and Yoga therapy.
