SUMMARY:Vipassana Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Every Thursday Evening | 19:00–21:00Weekly In-Person Meditation Gathering \nOpen Vipassana Meditation Evening\, suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners\, guided by one of the teachers from Dhammadipa. \nVipassana Meditation\nVipassana means “insight” or “seeing things as they truly are.” It is one of the oldest forms of meditation in the Buddhist tradition and was made widely accessible again by S.N. Goenka. Vipassana is a systematic technique for training awareness\, cultivating inner stillness\, and gaining deep insight into the nature of body and mind. \nBy observing bodily sensations with open\, non-reactive attention\, you develop clarity\, inner peace\, and a profound sense of freedom. \nStarting May 1st\, 2025\, we will resume weekly in-person sessions. Guidance will alternate between Adi Ichsan\, Henk van Voorst\, Aad Verboom\, and others. \nThe evening consists of walking and sitting meditation\, along with complementary exercises. It’s an open group – no registration required. \nThursdays are suitable for both beginners and advanced meditators. After the session\, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. On Monday evenings\, there is an online meditation for somewhat more experienced practitioners\, unless another activity is scheduled. \nThe meditation space is equipped with cushions and benches. We recommend wearing comfortable\, loose-fitting clothing. \n\nDana\nThursday evenings are offered on the basis of dana (generosity)\, with a suggested contribution of €12 to help cover fixed costs such as rent.You can give dana digitally by transferring your contribution to: \nIBAN: NL85 INGB 0005019113Name: Dhammadipa\, Amsterdam(using a QR code if available)A dana box is also present for cash donations.

SUMMARY:Summer Schedule Restorative Yoga 10x Monday morning
DESCRIPTION:Restorative Yoga & Pranayama\nSometimes the body needs nothing more than rest. True rest—the kind where you don’t have to perform\, don’t have to solve anything\, and are simply allowed to be. \nThis series of classes is a gentle invitation for anyone going through a period of burnout\, loss\, grief\, or prolonged stress—or who is simply in need of deep relaxation. Restorative yoga is an extremely gentle form of yoga in which poses\, supported by pillows\, blankets\, bolsters\, and blocks\, are held for extended periods. No effort\, no pressure. Just space to settle in. \nThe classes are balanced so that you experience a mix of passive and active elements. \nOver the course of 10 classes\, there is a special focus on the breath as a gateway to greater calm. Step by step\, you’ll be introduced to the three essential forms of pranayama and their variations\, gently integrated into a restorative practice that helps calm the nervous system. \nMany participants experience: \nLess stress and tension in body and mind\nGreater awareness of what the body needs\nDeeper relaxation and recovery\nBetter sleep quality\nA sense of inner peace and mental clarity \nCome as you are. There’s nothing to prove here—just space to come home to yourself. \nJuly 20 Sanne\nJuly 27 Marta\nAugust 3 Sanne\nAugust 10 Sanne\nAugust 17 Sanne\nAugust 24 Marta\nAugust 31 Marta\nSeptember 7 Marta\nSeptember 14 Marta\nSeptember 21 Sanne \nPRACTICAL DETAILS: \nCost: €140\,- for 10 Classes or come with your 10x card.\nthis special summercard can be used for the Monday & Friday Morning Classes \n€140.00Register Now	\n			\n \n(Check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation)

SUMMARY:Summer Schedule Yoga for Organic Strength & Tapas
DESCRIPTION:Yoga for Organic Strength & Tapas\nYoga is often seen as the art of flexibility—but did you know that it’s just as much a powerful path to strength\, stability\, and inner fire? For those who are hypermobile\, or simply ready for more than just stretching and relaxation\, this class offers a deeper challenge: building strength in an organic\, sustainable way\, through mindfulness rather than forcing. \nIn these classes\, we hold poses longer\, sometimes work with weights\, and focus on stability\, endurance\, concentration\, and resilience. The effort should be noticeable. Heat builds up\, the body starts working\, and you might even break a sweat—and that’s exactly the point. \nIn the yoga tradition\, this inner heat is known as Tapas\, a Sanskrit word for discipline\, dedication\, and transformation. It literally means “fire”—a purifying process in which old patterns\, tensions\, and mental limitations gradually melt away\, making way for something stronger. \nThe focus isn’t on performance\, but on discovering what happens when you remain present in a challenge with patience and perseverance. In this way\, you build not only physical strength but also mental resilience. \nThis class is for you if you:\nWant to develop not only flexibility but also strength\, stability\, and endurance\nAre hypermobile and looking for more stability and control in your joints\nWant to deepen your yoga practice with more physical and mental challenges\nWant to combine functional strength\, body awareness\, and mobility as an athlete\nEnjoy working with focus\, discipline\, and perseverance\nWant to experience the transformative power of yoga by staying consciously present\, even when it gets challenging \nCome and discover the fire that ignites when strength and attention come together. \nFridays: \nJuly 24 Sanne\nJuly 31 Sanne\nAugust 7 Sanne\nAugust 14 Sanne\nAugust 21 Marta\nAugust 28 Marta\nSeptember 4 Marta\nSeptember 11: Marta\nSeptember 18: Marta\nSeptember 25: Sanne \nPRACTICAL INFORMATION: \nCost: €140 for 10 classes instead of €155\, or use your class pass. \n€140.00Register Now	\n			\n \n(Check our terms and conditions regarding registration\, payment\, and cancellation)

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. 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. I am pleased to be able to incorporate some of his work in my work at Samana Yoga Center. \nPRACTICAL DETAILS: \nCost: live: €18\,00\nonline: € 15\,- \n€18.00Register Now	\n			\n \n€15.00Register Now	\n			\n \n(Check our terms and conditions about registration\, payment and cancellation) \n

SUMMARY:OMhealing Chanting & Alignment
DESCRIPTION:Date:  August 23\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
