Develop your inner leadership

In 2016 Maaike Decock travelled to Ladakh with Bruno Rouffaer, who was her coach during the time she worked as manager. Because they share values such as humility, integrity and trust, they decided to join forces and create an inner leadership program combining eastern and western techniques and philosophy.

Maaike Decock

Maaike has more than 10 years of middle management experience in the stressful environment of corporate international organisations. She has personally been confronted with stress and burnout.

In 2010 Maaike came into contact with Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, an internationally very highly respected Buddhist Teacher. Today they work closely together. She has learnt about Eastern philosophy, studied Buddhism and integrated yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breading techniques and Tibetan medicine into her Stress Release Program (link website Tarayogini)

She manages to combine old Eastern techniques with Western influences, which makes her a unique teacher. Since 2012, she organises yoga and meditation courses in France, India, Tibet and Nepal to bring people closer to themselves.
