Space travels











Rising before the sun to quietly celebrate the start of a new day. Experiencing yourself up close, surrounded by nature, a beautiful home, and a wonderful group of people. Wow, have vegetables always tasted this good? You swing on a rope between treetops and land in a new place within yourself. The world as you knew it feels distant — you are on a space journey.
Yoga retreats scheduled

Since 2006, Tanja and Baldwin have been organizing yoga holidays every other year—an ideal blend of effort and relaxation. We explore new, idyllic locations in the Netherlands, the Ardennes, and sometimes even further afield. Enjoying nature, a charming house, a great group of people (about 12), and gaining new insights and skills. Relaxation for body and soul creates a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, allowing you to see yourself and your surroundings from a fresh perspective.

We start the day with a meditation moving from darkness to light, followed by a yoga session. Sometimes there's an organized activity, but often you can spend the day as you wish until the afternoon yoga session.

Each day involves about 5 hours of yoga, meditation, and bodywork. This allows us to go deep, practicing pranayama (breathing techniques) and exploring the subtle dimensions of the poses. The retreat is suitable for all levels, but beginners might find it challenging.

Organized activities are designed to help you apply what you learn in yoga classes, such as a climbing course among the trees to strengthen your balance (mooladhara chakra, first energy center) or confronting and releasing old fears like acrophobia (vishuddhi, throat center).

You can also expect dancing, eating, laughter, a bit of cold training, and a touch of shamanism :)

I've participated in Tanja's yoga weeks several times and loved every one.

What truly fascinates me is the unique subtlety with which Tanja designs her weeks.

She approaches everything with heart, knowledge, and humor, meeting everyone where they are—regardless of constitution, ability, or background.

Depending on participants' openness, these weeks can lead to profound experiences and lasting positive changes in their lives. Tanja never loses her humor, patience, or dedication, and her presence allows her to accept every situation as it is.

These weeks aren't just about yoga asanas; they're about life in all its forms—movement, magic, dance, ritual, community, joy, emotions, and love. It's about what truly makes us feel alive.

Tanja embodies yoga in its original sense—creating union.

I met Tanja during a wonderful, relaxing, and healing yoga holiday she organized with her husband Baldwin. A lovely mix of authentic yoga, meditation, reflection, delicious food, beautiful nature, and genuinely nice people. I came back completely recharged and am already looking forward to the next yoga trip.

Each time, a deeply intense experience combining yoga, spirituality, nature, and wholesome nutrition—a truly holistic week offering ample space for self-discovery within a group of wonderful people who support each other throughout.The yoga sessions are complemented by delicious meals prepared by the group itself and new inspiring natural locations that enhance the immersive experience for body, mind, and soul.Tanja continually introduces new focuses with her holistic approach, gently and individually tailoring the week's intensity to each participant. Her extensive experience provides strong support for everyone. Baldwin, as the "head chef," consistently transforms yogic principles into culinary delights.It's a time of depth that resonates intensely and lastingly well beyond the week itself.
