Inner Wellness Retreat • Yin & Restorative Yoga • Nederlandstalig

 

 

Een 6-daags slow retreat voor vrouwen die willen vertragen, spanning loslaten en weer landen in zichzelf.

In het rustige noorden van Portugal, bij het D’alijo Retreat Center, creëren we ruimte voor diepe ontspanning en herstel van het zenuwstelsel met yin yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra en sound healing.

Tussen de sessies door is er volop ruimte voor jezelf — om te wandelen, lezen, schrijven of gewoon te zijn in de natuur.

Je verblijft in een kleine groep (9–11 deelnemers), waardoor er een intieme en persoonlijke sfeer ontstaat.

Begeleiding door Naomi (9,5 jaar yogadocent, 2500+ lessen gegeven).

Het retreat is volledig verzorgd, inclusief accommodatie, voedzame maaltijden, dagelijkse sessies, gebruik van het zwembad en airport transfer.
