Teacher

Marije teaches regularly at several studios in Amsterdam and Den Bosch and has led several Movements Yoga’s Teacher Trainings. She will teach you two classes a day, the morning active yang class and the evening yin yoga classes. The morning classes will be active classes targeting the organ of that day. Working on strength and flexibility at the same time. Expect a vigourating practice suitable for all levels of practice. The more passive evening classes are based on long holds, targeting the connective tissue and meridians of the body. In Chinese medicine internal organs are linked to meridians, through which energy flows. Holding the yoga poses for a longer time, adds a meditative aspect to the practice. 

All levels of practicioners and injuries are welcome on this retreat.

Food 

We will detox our body in this week with solid vegan food. We don’t have any sugar, dairy, salt, etc. The food is specific for the organ we are dealing with that day. Our chef Ed buys our food locally, from our farmer neighbors as much as we can. He prepares you breakfast, lunch, snacks, fruit and we have soup for dinner. Every day we take a different supplement to support the organ of the day. If you really do not like something or if you are allergic to something, please let us know up front. Every day has a special tea that is beneficial for the organ we are targeting that day. You can have as much tea as you like during the day. In the afternoon we will have a special juice. We don’t have any alcohol or coffee in these weeks.

Detox sounds scary for many people, but this is a very mild detox (not a juice cleanse week). We can ensure you, you won't be hungry during this week. And after a couple of days, you will start to notice the benefits of these nourishing meals.
