About the retreat:
On a beautiful location close to the Dutch seashore Karen and Daphne invite you on this amazing 3-day transformative breathwork and yin yoga retreat. While Karen will take you on an inner journey through conscious connecting breathwork to help you clear the obstacles that might linger in your subconscious mind, Daphne will support this deep dive by guiding you into to the body’s consciousness through Meditation, Pranayama and Yin Yoga. This intense combination of technics is designed to free, release and restore and to reconnect with yourself and to help you on the path of growth and transformation. From fear into trust and coming home to yourself.
Breath is the force that sustains life; conscious breath is the force that sustains awareness. In the practice of yoga, the breath is
fundamental. Regulated breath opens the body and channels vital energy, or prana. Mindful breath facilitates equilibrium and supports Yoga Asana. Conscious breath provides focus and enables the mind to reach its meditative state. In these challenging times of change and uncertainty , this retreat will give you the opportunity to find ground within your own being and get clarity into your life, release blockages and stress out of your system and reconnect with your souls’ purpose.

About Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is slow-paced style of yoga postures incorporating principles of Traditional Chines Medicine with asanas(postures) that are held for longer periods of time. Advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more. The sequences of postures are meant to stimulate the channels of the subtle body known as Meridians in Chinese medicine and as nadis in Hatha Yoga
Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissue of the body—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A more meditative or spiritual approach to yoga, its goals are awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality. Yin is learning the art to surrender to what is.
About Breathwork
Conscious Connected Breathwork
Our Breath is the most immediate source of energy and healing for our physical, emotional, and spiritual well- being. Breathwork is simple, safe and can be experienced by everyone regardless of age and health. It offers an invitation to reconnect with yourself, erase limited patterns and be open to the full, beautiful flow of life. Quite literally, when you change your breath, you change your life.
It works on every level, the physical level, emotional-mental level and the spiritual level.
On physical level you will detox your body by obtaining lots of oxygen, bring back your Ph-value in balance by alkalizing, strengthen your immune system and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus-nerve creating a relaxation response and balancing the flow of energy throughout the body.
On mental level, conscious breathing optimizes the power of mental concentration, learning capacity, observation, productivity, and decision-making. Our breath provides focus and clarity to enhance awareness and presence in every moment.
On an Emotional level, integrated breathwork provides profound inner peace and relaxation, feelings of safety, self-love and acceptance. Connecting breathing will move the information of emotions and or trauma, who secured and isolated in the cells so you get enable to feel and process them through in a safe setting and release them. By breathing through those emotional blockades, you will clear up your system by making literal new space. Patterns of resistance, cultural conditions and self-sabotage are brought into awareness where they can be worked on directly.
Does it really matter how we breath as long as we receive enough oxygen to stay alive? Yes! The breath influences your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being but there is also the opposite. That is strong physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges significantly limit our ability to breathe fully, freely and joyously.
