Yoga and Mindfulness 5-day Summer Midweek Retreat 'Stress Reduction' in Huy, Belgium

The yoga & Mindfulness 4-day retreats are held at the Tibetan Monastery Yeunten Ling in Huy, in the beautiful green surroundings of the Belgian Ardennes. A beautiful monastery, adapted to the demands of this time.

There is a lot of stress in Western society. Doing more with fewer people seems to become a normal new standard. Profit maximization remains number 1 instead of profit optimization combined with the attention to the well-being of people. Through social media, the world and beyond has become open and transparent and we are over-stimulated with an enormous amount of information and communication. We want a good balance between our private and business activities, but we do not succeed.

Where are you on the graph of workload and workload?


Yoga and Mindfulness Weekend Retreat Anti-Burnout 

In order to be able to learn and relax on a deeper level, this weekend has been specially composed with the following components (see program)

The starting point of the retreat is tranquility, depth relaxation, energy building, insight knowledge and wisdom. In addition to individual inner vision, there is also room for sharing and connecting with each other if you wish. During the yoga & mindfulness weekend, different yoga techniques and mindfulness meditations are combined with each other, to create more depth for yourself and to experience how both strengthen each other in action. You will be introduced to a mix of hatha yoga, Tibetan yoga, Chi Kong, mindfulness, meditation, breathing exercises and rituals. The weekend is for both beginners and advanced.

Yoga creates a healthy and relaxed body. We explore and experience our three bodies: the physical body (postures), the energetic / emotional body (feeling) and the mental body (mind). With strength, inspiration and connection as a starting point, you learn through yoga and mindfulness exercises to recognise your automatic thinking and behavior patterns. As a result, you will learn to function more effectively, both at home and at work.

Throughout the week, you can enjoy a nice collection of yoga books and magazines and nature walks. You'll meet inspiring people and you can use the environment to develop futher stillness. The cooking will be vegetarian. 

Yoga and Mindfulness Weeks are given by Hans Kloosterman.
