Take time for yourself! Private Mini Retreat in the center of Arnhem lasts THREE hours and is a great way to deeply relax and boost your energy levels.
​

Do you have a busy work schedule and can't find time to deeply relax or go on vacation? Is a yoga class too short to provide the deep relaxation you need? You don't like being in large groups? Do you want special attention for your wishes and preferences? Take your health into your own hands!

This is a Private Mini Retreat that consists of a Gentle Restorative Yoga session, a Holistic Therapeutic Massage, and a Sound Bath session. We start with a conversation about what you would like to focus on, what you would like to let go, and what you would like to increase. This session is designed around your specific needs and preferences. We use this time to tailor what suits you best.

​

1. The first part of your private mini-retreat is the Gentle Restorative Yoga session. The pace is slow, which allows you to develop body awareness and thereby learn to recognize and release deep-seated tensions in the body. Gentle Restorative Yoga practice includes gentle and restorative yoga postures. I also use various physiotherapy balls for support. You can think of small and large physio balls, 'still-point inducers' and trigger point balls. You will learn a series of yoga postures that encourage gentle flow movements.​​

 

2. After the Gentle Restorative Yoga session and a short break, it is time for your Holistic Therapy massage session with aromatic oil. During a massage treatment, you are treated as a whole. Your body and your mind. Massage hand movements and grips used are slow, rhythmic, and meditative. These hand movements are alternated with gentle shakes (Holistic Pulsing) and relaxing touches (Hands-on Healing) that mainly focus on the body's energy system.

​

3. The special part of this retreat is the Sound Bath session. This is a meditative experience with its roots in Tibet. The power of sound and vibration is one of the oldest medicines in the world. Singing bowls are used worldwide for healing and meditation purposes. This form of therapy is based on the belief that energy vibrates at different rates in the body. I use crystal singing bowls for this session. The vibration of the crystal singing bowl can have profound effects on the body and mind. The sounds of the bowls 'harmonize' the cells with their frequencies, bringing body and mind into balance. Singing bowls also have a positive effect on brainwave frequencies and can help shift brainwaves from the usual beta – the everyday thinking and stress mode to alpha, theta or delta states responsible for deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and tranquility. Sound Bath session is aimed at deep relaxation that can help you find rest and release deep-rooted tensions in body and mind. This session is for anyone looking for deep relaxation, but also for people who deal with chronic tension, burnout, anxiety, and sleep problems.
