Starting the day with an accessible yet energetic Vinyasa Flow session, ending the day with a soothing Yin Yoga practice (Myo Yin Yoga/Yin Yoga Nidra).
All yoga practices are taught from a functional approach, offering different options to empower each participant to unwind and to come home in the sacredness of their body, mind and breath. The flows are creatively built up progressively to add variety to your practice. They are designed to reset, to reconnect and to refresh your yoga practice.

Cooking Workshop
Our chef Sandy & assistance are a great inspiration for healthy and colorful cooking. You will learn about the basics of not only raw cakes but also nutritious delicious healthy cakes without processed sugars. An array of plant-based delights including cacao, fresh, gluten free and non-processed ingredients are on the menu.
The workshop will be divided into smaller groups with each group making a recipe. Sunday night's desserts will be prepared including cocoa chocolates.

Who is Who?
Sound Bath by Wild Flow Voyages Sonores
The musicians of wildflow.voyages.sonores are absolutely amazing! They take you on an inner journey and around the world using vibratory instruments like gongs, Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, drums, voice....
It is suggested that there are many benefits to sound baths, such as calming the mind, relieving pain, tensions, and stress, helping you to totally relax and preparing you for better sleep. Each sound bath is unique and like “a concert for the soul”. This session on Saturday will help you to tap into your deepest restorative capacities of your body & mind.
Organic & Healthy Food
Vegetarian meals* are carefully prepared by demo chef Sandy from Kitchenaid and Greenpan. After an inspiring and energetic yoga class, a vegetarian buffet brunch will be served. The ingredients are fresh, natural, and organic and carefully chosen to add variety and color on your plate. Sandy creates delicious original dishes that are easily digestible (gluten free as much as possible) and healthy (limited processed sugars). Expect an abundant array of nourishing delights!
A homemade healthy snack at 3pm will satisfy you until the next yoga session. In the evening, all taste buds will be pampered with a buffet style dinner and dessert.
