Fijne yoga les op een prachtige locatie!

Nina Leenen

In een rustig en bijzonder omgeving. Nana zorgt voor een prettig en ontspannen les die help om alles los te laten en tot je zelf te komen.

Rebecca Taylor

Full disclosure upfront: this yoga class was led by none other than my beloved partner. However, trust me when I say this doesn't bias my review for yoga is a sacred ground where no special treatment is allowed - not even for the one you share your morning coffee with.

Benny Vaksendiser

Na enige inspirering voel ik me echt ontspannen. Nana past zich aan op mijn kunnen en mijn welbijn.

Annelene Annewoorden

The workshop was amazing! Nana and Trin guided us through the whole day with a beautiful atmosphere. The space is just perfect! Nana has everything that you need to have an unforgettable experience and feel comfortable. I totally recommend this experience :)

Maria Moreno

It was very nice. A variety of different flows throughout the day in a really beautiful space. The teachers were very nice also giving the reasons why we needed to do certain things. Pace of the exercises was also good with breaks in between. Highly recommended to have a break in nature!
