Hello from Bulgaria! After a long period of silence, it’s high time we send you a sign of life. We’ve now been in Bulgaria for over three months, and we’d love to share what we’ve been up to. Read on and see for yourself how things are going!

Yogastudio ter overname

Per 1 januari 2025 bieden wij een volledig ingerichte yogastudio ter overname aan. De studio is van alle comfort voorzien en ademt een sfeer van professionaliteit, gastvrijheid en welzijn.

De locatie bevindt zich in het Statenkwartier in Den Haag, is gelegen in een woonstraat en heeft een ruime ingang. Het gaat om een te huren locatie, beheerd door een makelaardij.

Het totale interieur van de huidige studio bieden wij ter overname aan, o.a.
* een houten vloer
* sfeervolle verlichting
* naast praktische ook prachtige houten (opberg)meubels (alle op maat gemaakt)
* accessoires in diverse maten die een voor yoga geschikte sfeer versterken
* diverse yogamaterialen in veelvoud, onmisbaar voor het correct beoefenen van diverse yogavormen.

In de huidige ruimte, die het resultaat is van een grondige renovatie, ervaren bezoekers van de studio alle rust en sereniteit. Feedback van onze klanten bevestigt dan ook dat onze “sanctuary” ook hun “sanctuary” is.

Wij gaan een nieuwe invulling aan ons leven geven en dragen een volledige en onmiddellijk beschikbare locatie graag aan iemand (of een team) over die vervolg wil geven aan wat wij in samenwerking met vele andere mooie mensen in meer dan 10 jaar hebben opgebouwd.

Bij serieus interesse kun je ons een DM sturen, of via onze website contact met ons opnemen.

When teaching a yoga class, I consistently emphasise to my students the importance of softening and relaxing the facial muscles. But why focus on the face? Well, your facial muscles tend to hold on to the tension associated with thoughts, efforts, stress, and traumas. Releasing even a small amount of this tension brings you closer to a state of calmness, overall relaxation, and healing.

Extend this concept beyond your facial muscles to those that facilitate movement. You can learn to relax these muscles as much as possible, not just during your practice but in your daily life as well. I assure you that gradually, life will feel more manageable, joyful, and lighter, to name just a few benefits.

Let go of the idea of yoga solely for physical fitness, as it is widely presented. Instead, embrace the notion of fitness that is rooted in an experience that can be described as gentle, pleasurable, and fulfilling, while still maintaining a notion of strength.

I encourage you to review your actions and effort to craft your own personal and authentic understanding of 'feeling fit'. I can share out of experience that the taste of nourishment and letting go of resistance make it worthwhile!

In recent months, I've noticed a delightful trend: former students are returning for private class trajectories. It's truly heartwarming to hear what has brought them back, with a willingness to invest in themselves.

They've shared positive memories of practicing yoga at Yogashala from years past, and their ongoing interest in yoga and us led them to follow our occasional social media updates. My heart is filled with gratitude for their curiosity in exploring the benefits of one-on-one yoga, which provides ample space for a personalized teaching approach and the practical application of postures and breathing exercises tailored to their current state and fundamental needs. I'm more than ready, capable, and excited to share my gifts, knowledge, experience, and love while acknowledging and accepting them for who they truly are, with all their limitations and possibilities.

My primary intention is to connect with each and every person so that we can transform negative feelings of separateness, loneliness, abandonment, and not belonging into moments of connectedness and togetherness, even if just for a moment.

Women tend to connect easily and often find solace in experiencing my yoga teachings within a warm atmosphere of connection, words, and intentions. Men may initially be more reserved and hesitant, but I remain persistent and warm-hearted in my approach. I am pleased to report that my consistency and determination have borne fruit, with half of my private clients being men.

CONSISTENCY & QUALITY

Ever since we put our idea of a yogastudio into place, we recognised the importance, in all aspects of our professional life, to find the right balance of having consistency and quality at the same time. People who know us know that we are the kind of people that are absolute sticklers for quality.

We have invested many conversations, time and effort in the protection of that standard. And can proudly say that we really love what we do.
