NEW RETREAT INFORMATION COMING SOON
retreat testimonials
My 1st yoga retreat with Beate exceeded my expectations. It was my first time in Europe and I spent three days in Amsterdam and did sightseeing the surrounding areas before the retreat. I could already felt the genuinity, discipline and flexibility that the Dutch culture and values embody. But the retreat with Beate in the following week embraced them even more. I loved the Chakra theme of our yoga practice throughout the week, which brought a lot of variations in the Asana practice. We also did daily chantings and Kirtan sessions which really helped calm our minds down and brought us inner peace/focus. Besides the wonderful yoga practice at the gorgeous Monastery where we stayed, Beate's brothers, Otto and Albert showed us the beauty of nature, history, philosophy, arts and culture in Vught and surrounding cities (‘s-Hertogenbosch, Otterlo, etc.) through bike tours. Beate organized everything perfectly and she embraced us with pure Dutch and Yoga philosophies. I recommend that everyone should join this extraordinary yoga journey in Holland with Beate in the future!

I absolutely loved my first yoga treat lead by Beate in the Netherlands. From the peaceful location chosen, to the nutritious farm to table meals, to the time spent in authentic live-giving conversation with the other yogis, Beate fostered a sense of community and unity throughout the entire week. She is a warm, nurturing, instructive, and intuitive yogi. Her yoga classes were beautifully put together, intentionally crafted towards reflection, and her harmonium playing created a soothing atmosphere to come as ourselves. All of us was welcome and I come away feeling more centered in myself, grounded in my place in the world, and mindful of my highest self for the benefit of the greater good. Thank you for an unforgettable week Beate, I look forward to the next time we get to flow together.
