COLORUP YOUR LIFE BY A JOY RETREAT
A sunny week full of yoga, creativity & relaxation from Sunday 18th to Sunday 25th of February 2024.
What does this mean?
OUR INTENTION- We want to offer you a week of exploration , inspiration and relaxation. Your healthy getaway from the cold winter days. A week where your soul will be pampered and your mind can take a break. You feel what is good for you. We guide you on this journey of JOY.
FLOW means “getting in the zone” where you lose track of time and feel very peaceful, in the moment. We (Lauren & Caro) like to go in that zone - and we want to share our flow experiences with you by giving creative workshops and yoga.
JOURNEY OF YOGA - means 'a lot of yoga'. A balance of dynamic vinyasa flows and restorative gentle sessions. Depending on what your body wants and needs . We will have sunrise sessions as well as sunset sessions. There will be workshops where we dive into certain asana’s, in combination with mindfulness exercises and meditation.
Treating YOUR BODY well - which means your body will feel healthy.
We will nurture you with fresh vegetarian/vegan food everyday. You’ll enjoy the sunrays, the beach & sea water. There will be a perfect mix between rest and movement - on your rhythm. You will get more in touch with your body and mind connection - and you will learn to just “be”.
Your CREATIVITY will be explored by different creative workshops. You will learn certain techniques and will go home with some souvenirs you made yourself. Think of colours, painting, fabrics, daily exercises, storytelling, and so much more. The process of creating - of getting into that FLOW.
