You work with self-massage of the fascia\, using props. A special class at Samana by Marta Font who combines her insights in shiatsu massage\, yoga and roll & release to give you what you need. \nHOW DOES IT WORK: MASSAGE OF THE FASCIA\n“Roll” stands for self massage using the body weight on props like tennis balls or blocks. This is a passive form of acupressure accessible to everybody. \n“Release” stands for letting go of tensions\, pains and blockages locked in our body systems. By releasing tightness in the belly\, hamstrings\, shoulders\, neck or jaw\, we also free ourselves of mental and emotional contractions. \nABOUT FASCIA\nFascia is a network of tissue that connects the body from head to toe. Fascia can be found almost everywhere in the body\, around and inside the muscles\, between the skin and the muscles\, around every organ\, bones\, ligaments and joints. In a healthy body fascia helps to maintain good posture\, range of motion\, strength and flexibility. But fascia is as well like a storage room and physical and emotional traumas get locked there. Then it becomes tight\, restricted and a source of tension. With “Roll&Release” we approach fascia by letting go all these knots of held vital energy. \n  \nTHE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS\nSitting\nPranayama (breathing exercises)\nGentle asanas combined with the “Roll&Release” exercises with props like tennis balls\, blocks or rolled tissues.\nEach day we will focus on a specific area of the body. But because we work on the fascia\, the whole body will be affected. \nEXPERTISE OF THE TEACHER\nMarta Font is a certified Vijnana yoga teacher with more than ten years experience. She is also a Shiatsu therapist with knowledge and experience in Western and Eastern approaches to medicine. She applies in the lessons her experience giving treatments\, creating a safe\, warm space for personal healing. \n“Roll&Release” is a healing pathway created by Rusty Davis.

Not perfection.\nA deep\, concrete union of body\,\nbreath\, emotional awareness\, and mind —\nperceived through a still\, meditative\nconsciousness ready to trust. \nWhere tension dissolves into\nlightness\, spaciousness\, ease. \n  \nYOUR TEACHER\n\nIris Reyes Movement artist & CAY teacher\n\nI was born in Venezuela\, shaped by a lifelong journey in dance and body awareness. After a period of burnout in 2015\, I began an intensive process of self-study and healing that eventually led me to Critical Alignment Yoga & Therapy — a method I’ve been teaching and sharing since 2018. \nMaybe someone told you about my classes. Maybe you arrived here on your own\, with a quiet wish to understand your body better\, move with more freedom\, and feel more at home in yourself. Either way — you’re welcome here. \n\nCAY-T CERTIFIED\nBALLET REHEARSAL DIRECTOR\nCHRONIC STRESS & RECOVERY\nSOMATIC AWARENESS\n\n\nEnergy Transfer €10\,- for this introduction\nBook with Iris  URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/midsummer-intro-workshop-critical-alignment-yoga/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, 1013GG\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:Critical Alignment,Iris Reyes,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/c4727223-258f-4c70-b948-d7955ca123f6-e1780490023418.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260614T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260614T183000 DTSTAMP:20260423T142713Z CREATED:20260423T142546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260423T142713Z UID:121345-1781456400-1781461800@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:OMhealing Chanting & Alignment DESCRIPTION:Date:  June 14\nTime: 17.00 tot 18.30 uur – door opens at 16.30  \nWhat are the benefits of singing OM?:\n1. Raises the vibrations of your energy center \n2. Strengthens the connection with the universe and inner peace \n3. Increases self-awareness and meditation \n4. Improved concentration and focus \n5. Relief from stress and anxiety \n6. Improved breathing \n7. Strengthens your spiritual connection \nOn Sunday\, January 10\, 2016\, I gave the first OM healing (OM meditation) at Samana Yoga Center. \nSince then\, OM healings have been held every month. \nEveryone who has participated can tell you how special the pure and healing energy that was released was. The overwhelming silence that followed was incredible every time. \nAfter a break of a few years (corona)\, I started again last year. It turned out that the energy field that previously formed during our OM chanting was still there. We only had to tap in to the energy field\, to experience the healing power of it. \nIn other words: \nOM chanting aligns the chakras and the belly-heart-head centers with “heaven and earth.” This creates healing in whatever presents itself\, both within ourselves and in our immediate surroundings. \nWhat are we going to do? \n– Preparation: \nSimple exercises for body and voice\, using gravity\, to arrive in the moment. \n– Om chanting \nWe chant AUM for 30 to 40 minutes. \n– Silence \nMeditation \nEnlist:\nmail to : caroline.erkelens@gmail.com URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/omhealing-chanting-alignment-4/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, Noord Holland\, 1013GG\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:Caroline Erkelens,Healing session @en,OHM,Stem bevrijding ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_1319-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260517T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260517T183000 DTSTAMP:20260516T104452Z CREATED:20260418T131141Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260516T104452Z UID:121329-1779037200-1779042600@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Roll & Release LIVE & ONLINE DESCRIPTION:This class is a healing space for letting go of tensions (both physical and emotional) and get refreshed with new space and vital energy.

They ask for strength\, focus\, courage and trust—while offering lightness\, clarity and a deep sense of accomplishment. When we learn to go upside down with awareness\, the whole practice transforms. \nIn this workshop\, we build the foundations for a safe and confident inversion practice. Through intelligent preparation\, we create space and strength in the shoulders and core\, allowing the body to support itself with stability and ease. \nWith a step-by-step approach\, Marta & Sanne will guide you into the world of balancing on your hands\, head and shoulders. You’ll explore headstand and shoulderstand in a supportive and accessible way\, always working at your own pace and level. \nWe move with curiosity\, patience and playfulness as we explore:\n• How to build strength and stability in shoulders and core\n• The foundations of safe and sustainable inversions\n• Step-by-step techniques for headstand and shoulderstand\n• How to overcome fear and build confidence upside down\n• The role of alignment\, breath and focus in balancing\n• Ways to safely enter\, hold and exit inversion poses \nThis workshop is for anyone who:\n• Is curious about inversions but doesn’t know where to start\n• Wants to build strength and confidence in going upside down\n• Seeks a clear\, safe and structured approach\n• Is already practicing inversions and wants to refine technique\n• Enjoys learning through exploration and guided practice \nYou’ll leave with:\n• A stronger\, more stable core and upper body\n• Practical tools to practice inversions safely\n• More confidence and trust in your body\n• A clearer understanding of alignment and technique\n• A sense of lightness\, focus and empowerment \nStep out of the familiar—and discover what becomes possible when you turn your world upside down. \nPRACTICAL DETAILS: \nDate: Saturday May 9\nTime: 13:00 – 16:00\nLocation: Samana Yoga Center\nCost: €50\,- \n€50.00Register Now \n \n \n(Check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation) URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/the-art-of-inversions/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, Drenthe\, 1013GG CATEGORIES:Backbends,Marta Font,Masterclass @en,Mindfulness en Yoga,Sanne Kerkhof,Vijñāna Yoga,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG_1500-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260503T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260503T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T102330Z CREATED:20251215T071418Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260406T102330Z UID:121017-1777802400-1777827600@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Systemic Constellations DESCRIPTION:Systemic Constellations\nSunday May 3 2026\nTime: 10am to 5pm\nBy: Iris de Veer \nThe workshop is given by Iris de Veer (www.irisdeveer.nl).\nShe has over 20 years of experience in supervising constellations. People live in social systems. More and more it becomes clear how strongly we are influenced by the systems of which we are part. Much of this is unconscious. You usually get support and strength from those systems. Sometimes you suffer from that unconscious influence. Precisely because the influence is unconscious you cannot reach it. Constellations are a way of looking at the unconscious influence of systems. \nAre there patterns in you that you keep encountering and that hinder you? Themes you can’t get rid of? Do you have the feeling that you are not living fully\, that there are blockages\, that it is not really flowing? Are you facing a major dilemma? Do you have physical complaints that keep coming back and that health care cannot help you further? \nOften a constellation can support you and give you more insight about this. During this day you can introduce such a question or theme. You can participate in this workshop in two ways: if you really want to do a constellation\, you register for a constellation and if you want to get acquainted with the method or you like to represent\, you register as a representative. 4 places for people who want their own set-up\, so it’s best to register quickly. As a representative\, you always bring a special experience and relevant insights with you. \nWhat is a system? \nA system is a coherent whole. When something happens to an element in a system\, that box affects other elements in the system. Your family system is one such system. You do not choose this system\, but you receive it at birth. Your country or region of birth\, your social class\, the organization where you work also form a system. You are part of it and you are influenced by it. You can also see your body as a system. This creates patterns that determine your behavior. \nThere are three major types of dynamics in systems: – every element\, every person in the system is entitled to a place in his system: exclusion\, “forgetting”\, silence and contempt in one place lead to problems in another place in the system. – there is an order\, an order between the people and the elements in the system\, if this is disturbed\, there will be unrest. \nGive and take must be in balance\, both giving too much and giving too little can upset the balance. How does a Setup work? In every workshop we do physical exercises and practice with system energy\, so you get into it a bit. Then you choose people who represent you or elements from your system. You set them up in space. The representatives are now able to articulate underlying unconscious feelings and thoughts. The representatives come into contact with the dynamics of the (family) system and can provide information about it.\nOn the basis of that information\, order can be restored\, who or what has been excluded can be recognized and included again\, or the balance between giving and taking can be regained. The effect of a constellation is usually long lasting and profound. As a representative you experience what it is like to be in that place in the system\, you experience feelings and thoughts of the person in whose place you stand. You don’t have to do anything for it\, have no experience in it\, and believe nothing for it. We can do it all. Being a representative is a valuable and special experience that often also provides new insights for your own problems. Seeing your own attitude as well as that of others is often a moving spectacle\, which brings you into contact with your own “soul stirrings”. \nSubmit your own question:\nIf you are going to do a constellation yourself\, you can prepare yourself by filling in a questionnaire in advance about facts from your family system. If you do a constellation yourself in the workshop\, we will first have a short conversation with you to clarify your question. So it doesn’t matter if your question is not so clear yet. \nThere is room for a maximum of 4 Constellations  and 10 Representatives. \n\nCosts: for a constellation : € 150\,- for a representative € 90\,- \n€150.00Register Now \n \n \n€90.00Register Now \n \n \n(check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation) URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/opstellingen-voluit-leven-11/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, 1013GG CATEGORIES:Familie opstellingen @en,Healing session @en,Iris de Veer,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DSC_0080-copy-1-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260426T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260426T183000 DTSTAMP:20260418T130451Z CREATED:20260418T125726Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260418T130451Z UID:121327-1777222800-1777228200@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Roll & Release LIVE & ONLINE DESCRIPTION:This class is a healing space for letting go of tensions (both physical and emotional) and get refreshed with new space and vital energy.

We push through\, adapt\, and stay constantly “on\,” often without truly sensing\nhow we are doing. Until the body\, or life itself\, asks for our attention.\nFrom Survival to Presence is a deepening yoga journey unfolding through the\nseasons. Four full-day workshops in which you are gently guided\, step by step\, to\nslow down\, listen\, and reconnect with yourself. Not by trying harder\, but by\nunderstanding how your body\, nervous system\, and awareness work together.\nEach workshop day is dedicated to an essential yogic system that aligns with the\nseason and will supports balance in the everchanging waves of life. \nSpring: The Nervous System & Polyvagal Theory\nIn spring\, we explore the nervous system and polyvagal theory as the foundation for\nsafety and resilience. The nervous system forms the basis of a well-functioning body.\nWhen you begin to understand this system\, and recognize how it influences your\nstate of being\, you can start to build a healthier\, more compassionate relationship\nwith yourself in a very practical way. \nSchedule\n10.30-12.00 yoga practice\n12.00-13.00 lunch break\n13.00-15.45 embodied teaching\n15.45-16.00 short break\n16.00-17.00 nidra&sound \nMore about the teacher\nBeing a dancer\, the body always has been fascinating to Fleur. Her dancing years\ntaught her so much about that body. And then she found out about yoga…It felt\nso familiar\, but yet so different. The more yoga she experienced the more she\ndiscovered the deeper layers that can be found beyond the physical body. And the\ndeep interconnection of body\, breath\, emotions\, mind\, and the subconscious.\nFleur loves to bring western knowledge and ancient yoga teachings together so that\nyoga can be used practical in the midst of the waves of modern life. For Fleur yoga is\na way to explore yourself. To connect deeper to your own truth. In every yoga\nexperience she creates a space where you can go on a journey with and within\nyourself.\nThrough gentle vinyasa yoga\, breathwork\, restorative\, yin\, meditation\, energetics\,\nyoga Nidra\, sound\, and yoga therapy practices she supports you to experience\nyourself and life in a conscious way.\nOver the past 17 years she has been teaching\, guiding workshops\, teacher trainings\,\ncontinuing education\, and immersions. She is also a trained and certified as a Yoga\nTherapist and runs a private practice\, where she works holistically with clients\,\nsupporting physical\, emotional\, and nervous system health. \nReserve your spot\nEnergy Transfer €90\,- \n€90.00Register Now \n \n \nSpring: The Nervous System and the Polyvagal Theory\nSummer: Prana & the Vayus\nFall: The Chakra System\nWinter: Yoga Nidra & the Kosha Model \nAll 4 seasons à €75\,- \n€300.00Register Now URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/a-yoga-journey-through-the-seasons-spring-the-nervous-system-polyvagal-theory/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, Noord Holland\, 1013GG\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:Filosofie @en,Masterclass @en,Therapeutic Yoga @en,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Fleur-1-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260329T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260329T123000 DTSTAMP:20260312T093836Z CREATED:20260312T093836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T093836Z UID:121278-1774780200-1774787400@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Vibrational Re-Memberings - A Sound Healing Journey with Ron Bunzl DESCRIPTION:Vibrational Re-Memberings\nRe-Memberings this next cycle is a series of 3 weekly sessions. \nDates:\nSunday March 15   16.00-18.00\nSunday March 29  10.30-12.30\nSunday April 19     10.30-12.30 \nRe-Memberings is the name of a sonic experience inspired on the idea that we all have an inner cast of characters/personas\, a community of selves\, Re-Memberings invites us to connect\, get to know and celebrate the members of this inner community. \nWe are offering this series as an invitation to go deeper into reconnecting with ourselves\, and as an opportunity to experience this Vibrational Medicine as a mindful healing practice. \nVibrational Medicine is a rite of passage\, a ceremony that invites you to envision and embody new possibilities.\nVibrational Medicine – Re-Memberings\, a journey in sound with gongs\, singing bowls\,\nchimes\, percussion\, and voice. \nWe’re not meant to be fragmented\, broken or alone.

You work with self-massage of the fascia\, using props. A special class at Samana by Marta Font who combines her insights in shiatsu massage\, yoga and roll & release to give you what you need. \nHOW DOES IT WORK: MASSAGE OF THE FASCIA\n“Roll” stands for self massage using the body weight on props like tennis balls or blocks. This is a passive form of acupressure accessible to everybody. \n“Release” stands for letting go of tensions\, pains and blockages locked in our body systems. By releasing tightness in the belly\, hamstrings\, shoulders\, neck or jaw\, we also free ourselves of mental and emotional contractions. \nABOUT FASCIA\nFascia is a network of tissue that connects the body from head to toe. Fascia can be found almost everywhere in the body\, around and inside the muscles\, between the skin and the muscles\, around every organ\, bones\, ligaments and joints. In a healthy body fascia helps to maintain good posture\, range of motion\, strength and flexibility. But fascia is as well like a storage room and physical and emotional traumas get locked there. Then it becomes tight\, restricted and a source of tension. With “Roll&Release” we approach fascia by letting go all these knots of held vital energy. \n  \nTHE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS\nSitting\nPranayama (breathing exercises)\nGentle asanas combined with the “Roll&Release” exercises with props like tennis balls\, blocks or rolled tissues.\nEach day we will focus on a specific area of the body. But because we work on the fascia\, the whole body will be affected. \nEXPERTISE OF THE TEACHER\nMarta Font is a certified Vijnana yoga teacher with more than ten years experience. She is also a Shiatsu therapist with knowledge and experience in Western and Eastern approaches to medicine.

Through mindful movement\, fascia release\, standing work and slow\, embodied exploration\, we reconnect with the intelligent architecture of the feet.You’ll learn how the arches\, toes\, ankles and connective tissues influence not only your posture and stability\, but your breath\, your balance and the way energy flows through your entire body. \nWe’ll move with curiosity and playfulness as we explore: \n\n\nHow to create strong yet supple feet \n\n\nHow the feet support healthy alignment of knees\, hips and spine \n\n\nGrounding techniques to improve balance and steadiness \n\n\nFascia release for more mobility and ease in the feet and lower legs \n\n\nSubtle cues to awaken sensory awareness and connection to the earth \n\n\nThis workshop is for anyone who: \n\n\nWants to refine their yoga practice from the ground up \n\n\nExperiences tension or fatigue in the feet\, ankles or legs \n\n\nLoves learning the “why” behind healthy posture \n\n\nSeeks more stability\, strength and fluidity in movement \n\n\nWants to feel deeply rooted\, grounded and supported \n\n\nYou’ll leave with: \n\n\nA renewed relationship with your feet \n\n\nGreater balance\, stability and body awareness \n\n\nTools to support healthy movement in daily life and on the mat \n\n\nA sense of grounding\, spaciousness and ease throughout the whole body \n\n\nCome home to your foundation.When the feet awaken\, the whole practice transforms. \nPRACTICAL DETAILS: \nCost: €50\,- \n€50.00Register Now \n \n \n(Check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation) URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/happy-feet-een-yogaworkshop-gewijd-aan-je-voeten-2/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, Noord Holland\, 1013GG\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:Healing session @en,Marta Font,Masterclass @en,Mindfulness en Yoga,Sanne Kerkhof,Therapeutic Yoga @en,Vijñāna Yoga,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/feet-2-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260215T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260215T123000 DTSTAMP:20251231T164313Z CREATED:20251231T164313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251231T164313Z UID:121048-1771151400-1771158600@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Snake into Horse - A Sound Healing Journey with Ron Bunzl DESCRIPTION:Snake into Horse\nSunday February 15\n10.30-12.30 \nWe begin with a question–what question is alive for you now? \nThis question sets us off on a journey. Ron creates a sea of sound with gongs\,\nsinging bowls\, percussions and voice\, and we navigate this ocean–a safe space\nto explore and contemplate the changes we’ve all been going through around\nthis ending and beginning of this year cycle. What are we shedding and how\nare we stepping forward? This mythological and everyday question forms the\nfoundation on which the sound bath is inspired. \n  \nVibrational Medicine is a rite of passage\, a ceremony that invites you to envision and embody new possibilities. \nThe sea of sound Ron generates with the gongs\, bells\, drums and voice\,\nhas the power to dissolve old patterns to resolve blocked energies\, allow you\nto meet your dreams\, discover and release the energy to become who you\nwant to be.\nThis 120 min experience is an invitation to come home\, to enter a safe space of self connection and transformation. \nThe session begins with an invocation\, the setting of an intention or an asking for guidance. \nThe sound bath triggers a deep relaxation allowing the natural healing processes of your body/mind\, and the entire energy field in which we move and live\, to unfold. \nThis work has evolved as a response to these intense times! Our sense of security and hope\, our relationships and our well-being are deeply challenged.

You work with self-massage of the fascia\, using props. A special class at Samana by Marta Font who combines her insights in shiatsu massage\, yoga and roll & release to give you what you need. \nHOW DOES IT WORK: MASSAGE OF THE FASCIA\n“Roll” stands for self massage using the body weight on props like tennis balls or blocks. This is a passive form of acupressure accessible to everybody. \n“Release” stands for letting go of tensions\, pains and blockages locked in our body systems. By releasing tightness in the belly\, hamstrings\, shoulders\, neck or jaw\, we also free ourselves of mental and emotional contractions. \nABOUT FASCIA\nFascia is a network of tissue that connects the body from head to toe. Fascia can be found almost everywhere in the body\, around and inside the muscles\, between the skin and the muscles\, around every organ\, bones\, ligaments and joints. In a healthy body fascia helps to maintain good posture\, range of motion\, strength and flexibility. But fascia is as well like a storage room and physical and emotional traumas get locked there. Then it becomes tight\, restricted and a source of tension. With “Roll&Release” we approach fascia by letting go all these knots of held vital energy. \n  \nTHE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS\nSitting\nPranayama (breathing exercises)\nGentle asanas combined with the “Roll&Release” exercises with props like tennis balls\, blocks or rolled tissues.\nEach day we will focus on a specific area of the body. But because we work on the fascia\, the whole body will be affected. \nEXPERTISE OF THE TEACHER\nMarta Font is a certified Vijnana yoga teacher with more than ten years experience. She is also a Shiatsu therapist with knowledge and experience in Western and Eastern approaches to medicine. She applies in the lessons her experience giving treatments\, creating a safe\, warm space for personal healing. \n“Roll&Release” is a healing pathway created by Rusty Davis.

People live in social systems. More and more it becomes clear how strongly we are influenced by the systems of which we are part. Much of this is unconscious. You usually get support and strength from those systems. Sometimes you suffer from that unconscious influence. Precisely because the influence is unconscious you cannot reach it. Constellations are a way of looking at the unconscious influence of systems. \nAre there patterns in you that you keep encountering and that hinder you? Themes you can’t get rid of? Do you have the feeling that you are not living fully\, that there are blockages\, that it is not really flowing? Are you facing a major dilemma? Do you have physical complaints that keep coming back and that health care cannot help you further? \nOften a constellation can support you and give you more insight about this. During this day you can introduce such a question or theme. You can participate in this workshop in two ways: if you really want to do a constellation\, you register for a constellation and if you want to get acquainted with the method or you like to represent\, you register as a representative. 4 places for people who want their own set-up\, so it’s best to register quickly. As a representative\, you always bring a special experience and relevant insights with you. \nWhat is a system? \nA system is a coherent whole. When something happens to an element in a system\, that box affects other elements in the system. Your family system is one such system. You do not choose this system\, but you receive it at birth. Your country or region of birth\, your social class\, the organization where you work also form a system. You are part of it and you are influenced by it. You can also see your body as a system. This creates patterns that determine your behavior. \nThere are three major types of dynamics in systems: – every element\, every person in the system is entitled to a place in his system: exclusion\, “forgetting”\, silence and contempt in one place lead to problems in another place in the system. – there is an order\, an order between the people and the elements in the system\, if this is disturbed\, there will be unrest. \nGive and take must be in balance\, both giving too much and giving too little can upset the balance. How does a Setup work? In every workshop we do physical exercises and practice with system energy\, so you get into it a bit. Then you choose people who represent you or elements from your system. You set them up in space. The representatives are now able to articulate underlying unconscious feelings and thoughts. The representatives come into contact with the dynamics of the (family) system and can provide information about it.\nOn the basis of that information\, order can be restored\, who or what has been excluded can be recognized and included again\, or the balance between giving and taking can be regained. The effect of a constellation is usually long lasting and profound. As a representative you experience what it is like to be in that place in the system\, you experience feelings and thoughts of the person in whose place you stand. You don’t have to do anything for it\, have no experience in it\, and believe nothing for it. We can do it all. Being a representative is a valuable and special experience that often also provides new insights for your own problems. Seeing your own attitude as well as that of others is often a moving spectacle\, which brings you into contact with your own “soul stirrings”. \nSubmit your own question:\nIf you are going to do a constellation yourself\, you can prepare yourself by filling in a questionnaire in advance about facts from your family system. If you do a constellation yourself in the workshop\, we will first have a short conversation with you to clarify your question. So it doesn’t matter if your question is not so clear yet. \nThere is room for a maximum of 4 Constellations  and 10 Representatives. \n\nCosts: for a constellation : € 150\,- for a representative € 90\,- \n€15.00Register Now \n \n \n€90.00Register Now \n \n \n(check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation) URL:https://samanayogacenter.nl/en/yoga-workshops/opstellingen-voluit-leven-10/ LOCATION:Samana Yoga Center\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam\, Drenthe\, 1013GG CATEGORIES:Familie opstellingen @en,Healing session @en,Iris de Veer,Sanne Kerkhof,Workshop @en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://samanayogacenter.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DSC_0080-copy-1-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Samana Yoga Center":MAILTO:info@samanayogacenter.nl END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20251107T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20251107T213000 DTSTAMP:20250903T105216Z CREATED:20250903T105123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250903T105216Z UID:120792-1762542000-1762551000@samanayogacenter.nl SUMMARY:Is the Vijnana Yoga Teacher Training Right for You?
