Mirjam was born in Amsterdam where she studied at the Scapino Dance Academy. She completed her dance teacher training at the Rotterdam dance academy in 1984. After 35 years of teaching experience she came into contact with Yoga. She followed her Yoga teacher training at Yoga Garden and The New Yoga School in Amsterdam. At Debbie Jenner she obtained her diploma Pilates Instructor. Now she is studying Shiatsu therapy and Chinese medical medicine.

Our teachers

Mirjam Couvreur

Dates: July - August

Mirjam will be teaching Pilates or Vinyasa Yoga in the morning and Yin Yoga in the evening. Because of her background as a dance teacher she can work with all levels. If the group is mixed levels, she will adjust the class. A beginner can stop where we ask the advanced participant to do extra flows with more challenging poses.

We start every session with a meditation. We finish with 10 minutes stretching and relaxing.

I never was very flexible by nature. So to become more flexible I know it will take time and patience. We will never go flat on the belly but .... but work with our possibility's. So beginners, don't be afraid to start. 

If you are advanced, we are not going into headstands. For me Yoga is not about acrobatics. If you want to train your balance, there are many ways in yoga to do so. There will be enough variety in the classes. The classes will have a focus and there's a progression.

Most important is, to enjoy and to feel good, its your holiday.

Giada Argentino
GIADA ARGENTINO

Dates: ?

Vinyasa Yoga. Giada is Italian but speaks fluent English. She has a dance background and is therefore able to move beautifully. An inspiring example for everyone.

After a retreat with us, she followed a teacher training course on the advice of Mirjam. Not necessarily because her body is suitable for yoga but her personality fits Yoga. She is a sweet woman with her heart in the right place. Moreover, she is completely herself and you immediately feel at ease with her. She is in for some madness in his time, so if there is a party, you will certainly find her on the dance floor.

Her training and flying hours she made in Milan. Ze is gecertificeerd Vinyasa Yoga docent.

WE ARE CREATIVE

Not two weeks are the same. One participant wants to take a diving lesson, the other a walking trip or do crafts with beach finds, anything is possible.

WE ARE PASSIONATE

Our greatest passion is to give our participants a great time, a warm bath.

 

WE ARE MAD

What is the earning model? There is no such thing. We are a Non Profit organization. All income goes in the first place to the teachers and in the second place to the stray dogs.
