Healing Hearts Retreat
The program
This program is designed to help you advance in your personal development as a Yogi or spiritual searcher.
Maybe you’re dreaming of a healthier lifestyle with less stress and more purpose. Maybe you’ve been practicing Yoga and mindfulness for a while, but you feel stuck in your progress. The weekly classes at your local yoga studio feel too generic and don’t take you far enough. You’re watching podcasts and YouTube videos, but somehow they don’t give you what you need.
Practicing at home just doesn’t feel the same. Let me invite you to Ubud, and let me help you move out of the stagnation. Let me clear out the cobwebs for you and help you find your practice.
The work
After arrival, we stretch out the Jetleg in a Restorative Yin class, where I help you to relax, melt your stress away, and bring you down to earth. After you are totally relaxed, we gather in the sharing circle to find out what will help you move forward in the transformation. We will address painpoints and shed light on belief systems that are keeping you stuck.
The next day, we start with a strong slow flow, designed to gently help you out of your comfort zone, and find a new edge. Getting you out of the beginners fase fast. With a focus on the breath, we move through Hatha yoga ( focus on alignment, longer holds ) with dynamic Vinyasa flow to lift your energy to new levels.
The Sound healing session is designed to realign the Chakras and lift your frequencies to higher levels. Calming and resetting your nervous system with grounding melodies.
In the Yin classes, we continue to heal and reset the nervous system. Most likely, you feel anxious and stuck in your life, or on the verge of burnout, because your nervous system is out of balance. Pain in the lower back, stiffness in the shoulders, insomnia, anxiety, chronic stress.. all symptoms of an unbalanced nervous system.
This is where we’re gonna focus on mostly in the retreat. The gentle evening slow flow classes will help you to completely surrender and listen to your body. Calming down the senses even more. Learning to slow down and find your center again. I will teach you exercises that you can take home and incorporate into your daily practice and life off the mat.
The approach
Why is this program so powerful? At the retreat, when you arrive, we let you settle in and come at ease. When we’ve met all the participants, we gather around in a sharing circle, where I gently ask you to open up and share why you feel stuck in your life or your practice.
Could be anything, you’re too busy with work, you don’t find the time to give yourself the space for a regular practice, you feel you don’t deserve an hour massage or spa treatment, you’re always there for others but not for yourself. You’re always running for others, kids, boss, friends, and you don’t know how to slow down and breathe without feeling guilty.
As an addition to the retreat, you will get a free online Yin yoga program, designed to take you from beginner to advanced in 12 classes. You can practice this at home and return to it anytime you want.
This program will deepen your practice and help you quiet your monkey mind. You will learn to slow down, find stillness, and increase flexibility in a gentle way.
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga in which poses are held for longer periods of time—typically 2 to 10 minutes—to target the body’s deep connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, and joints. The connective tissue ( Fascia ) runs all the way through our body and holds everything together, bones, muscles, joints, and organs. When we work on our fascia, we increase flexibility, improve blood flow, increase longevity, and keep our bodies healthy and our minds relaxed.
The work continues
As an addition to the retreat, I want to take you to a renowned yoga studio in Ubud for a 9D breath work class that takes 3 hours.
This is a very special experience, led by an expert with 20 years of experience. This class will force you out of your comfort zone in a playful way before you go into an hour-long breathing experience with 9D high-frequency music and binary beats. That will rewrite your belief systems, download new belief systems that will rewrite your life, and completely heal and restore your nervous system.
After this experience, you see the world with different eyes. Feeling more aligned with yourself and your true purpose in life, or at least, feeling more connected to your direction.
