ABOUT THIS ONE DAY RETREAT.

Noise is a part of our daily lives - whether it's phones buzzing, traffic, loud children or the inner noise we produce with our own monkey-minds. Taking a break from noise to tune in and really listen can be restorative but also insightful. Silent retreats offer a rare opportunity to recharge your mind, body and spirit. 

Silent retreats can be slightly daunting - especially of you've never experienced it before. This one-day retreat gives you a taste of the power of silence. We will briefly start and end the day speaking, to allow you to ask your questions and share your experiences. During the silent hours of the day you will be guided through various exercises - ranging from gentle yoga, to seated meditations and a walking meditation in nature.

This one-day retreat is for you if you are curious about silence, if you need a small break from daily life or if you just like to treat yourself to a mini-retreat experience. Everyone is welcome, no previous experience is required.

YOGA & MINDFULNESS MEDITATION.

During te day we will practice gentle yoga and guided mindfulness meditations. Previous experience with yoga or meditation is not required. Mindfulness can be described as the practice of paying attention in the present moment, and doing it intentionally and with non-judgment. That might sound simple, but mindful living requires practice. Before you know it you relapse into automatic patterns and thoughts. By practicing mindfulness, we train our ability to switch off the autopilot and truly experience the present moment as it is. This helps us to enjoy life to the fullest and to deal with difficult things in life. Mindfulness reduces stress, tension and anxiety. Through mindfulness we increase our ability to consciously choose how we respond to events.

LUNCH.

At Delta Yoga we love food! We strongly believe that the energy we supply the body with (e.g. the foods we eat) impact how we feel throughout our lives. During this one-day retreat we will serve a healthy & delicious vegetarian lunch and a snack during the afternoon tea break. The food is sourced locally and organic whenever possible. All food is prepared with lots of love.

ABOUT THE TEACHER.

​

Hi! My name is Barbara. It's my job to help people gain present moment awareness and energy efficiency to thrive. I work as a yoga teacher, mindfulness trainer, personal leadership coach and expedition leader. Sometimes I work in yoga studio's or retreat centers, other times I provide trainings at corporate offices or guide groups on high mountain all over the world. Although these workplaces seem to differ, for me they are very similar. Wether it is on a mountain, yoga mat or in a boardroom - I see people that get challenged, that establish a better connection to their body and that find rest and new inspiration. 

I hold a MSc in (political) philosophy and I am a certified yoga teacher (E-RYT-500) and mindfulness trainer (Radboud University, category 1). Over the past few years I delivered almost 2000 hours of yoga, meditation and mindfulness classes to groups, individuals and organisations. Read more about Barbara
