Review by Claire Faber from Netherlands
December 14, 2020
"Fijne Iyengar ervaring, zeer leerzaam."
Lange lessen waarin goed de tijd genomen werd om uitleg te geven, om voorbereidende oefeningen te doen om in een pose te komen en om uiteindelijk in de pose te komen en te blijven. Het eten was erg lekker en meer dan genoeg (meestal). In de pauze kun je een lekkere wandeling maken door een stiltegebied, fijn als aanvulling voor de yoga ervaring.

De communicatie vooraf over het weekend en de locatie was erg summier, de locatie was een herberg met zeer eenvoudige kamers en gedeeld sanitair. Introductie van de instructrices ontbrak volledig, enkele deelnemers waren al eerder geweest en wisten dus al het een en ander maar aan een nieuwkomer werd niet gedacht. De yogaruimte was over het algemeen te koud, er werd geventileerd middels open ramen, maar dat werd veel te koud op de vloer. Beter was het geweest om meteen na een les flink te ventileren en dan een uur voor de les weer de ramen dicht te doen en de verwarming aan te zetten zodat het lekker opgewarmd was. Jammer dat er niet meer tijd werd besteed aan filosofie en pranayama. Instructrices waren niet erg toegankelijk na de lessen, waren vooral met dezelfde mensen aan het praten. Er is mij niet 1 vraag gesteld door hen buiten de lessen om.

"Geweldig weekend"
Both Sarah-Jane and Daniela create a comforting environment where you feel save. It was my first time on a retreat and I feeled very welcomed. They are, I felt, experienced and thorough teachers with a gentle touch. Also there was room for laughter. All in all a great first expierence. Thanks a lot!

The mornings were silent. It is not someting I like, but it was interesting to do it.
