Weekend retreat YOGA MEETS YOGA

Hof van Axen

Weekend retreat YOGA MEETS YOGA

Friday September 30 till Sunday October 2
In de Hof van Axen in Drenthe
With Carine Goekoop and Eveline Torres

 Eveline Torres is thrilled to invite you to this new mini-retreat at the beautiful house in Drenthe. This time she will join wisdom with Carine Goekoop, a wonderful enthusiastic teacher in the ashtanga tradition. Take this change to deepen your practice together.

Carine and Eveline will each lead yoga sessions. Opening our hearts for each other and the two traditions they come from we will explore the connections and the deeper layers underneath the different yoga schools.  With a small group of practitioners (max. 16) and two teachers we will explore new combinations, new insights to take home with you.

This mini-retreat is specially for yoga practitioners a minimum of 2 years experience and for yoga teachers.

UNIQUE PLACE

This retreat demands no long traveling. The retreat takes place on a unique location in the Dutch province of Drenthe, where nature is abundant and ancient remains of old inhabitants are scattered in the scenery.
The beginning of spring is already in the air, when we stay at the Hof van Axen, surrounded by forest, with a lake of crystal clear water nearby. The “Hof van Axen” is a spiritual centre where nature is honoured.
The house is build with ecological materials and many facilities are ‘green’. Like the heat-walls, finished with natural mud. In February there is a heater on wood in the living room, for warmth and a good atmosphere.
The accommodations are simple and basic. There are no distractions.
We invite you to fully emerge in the yoga sessions. Put your telephone and Ipad away for a few days and be fully aware of the wonderful place you’re at, amidst the trees, goats and hunnebeds from the early inhabitants of Drenthe.
You can get an impression of the place at the website of the Hof van Axen.
