Jelle built the yoga studio over three years, working as a laborer to raise the funds. The Himalaya Yoga Centrum opened in January and within six months had a nice community of students. Jelle now teaches his own classes there and sponsors other local teachers as well. He is also the hatha-yoga instructor for an Ayurvedic practitioner training program in The Hague and has regular teaching commitments in Italy (Torino) and Lithuania. Stoma came to do mantra initiations for 10 students and gave talks on mantra and meditation and emotional purification.

He also spent a half day visit Romy van der Pool and her husband Rene in their wellness center.
