True Nature Yoga Retreats Ibiza

O How I love dancing! The moment your mind drops and you and the dance become one. I always need a bit of time to drop in (not long 😏), to feel my body, to feel the music, the space, the people. And then...the magic happens, I start to open up layer for layer on all levels of my being. I feel like a lotus flower, slowly opening her petals and surrendering to Divine Grace. Something Higher takes over and I let myself be danced. I love to dance alone with my eyes closed. This way I can feel and follow the flow of my inner nature. But once I am really Home within myself I can also feel the flow of people around me. Then sometimes my body is pulled towards another body and like magnets we come together. It just happens very naturally. Before I know it I am intimately dancing with a ‘stranger’. For a moment my mind comes back and I feel a shyness or fear coming up. But my desire for freedom is stronger. I let go of the idea of ‘other’ and let myself merge and become One. When I dance with ‘other’ men or women I feel so much joy, beauty and Love. It reveals to me that this deep connection with other beings is what truly makes me happy and cracks my heart wide open. I want more of that in my life! Yesterday and this morning at Ecstatic Dance I got involved in such beautiful, sweet and joyful dances with fellow dancers, my Heart is still glowing 🥰. If you have never tried it yet, please do! It will change your life.

Our last day in Bali ♥️ tomorrow night we fly back to NL. What a month it has been... Challenging at times, but also a very enriching experience for the both of us. It has been very special to do this together with my beautiful girl. Happy we did it! #mamabali #thankyou #goinghome #balibliss #momanddaughter #travels #foreverlove #ubudbali

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent. ~ Ramana Maharshi #trustlife #surrender #justbe #silence #befree #ramana #wisdom

I wonder why I find it more relaxing and easy to facilitate a retreat for 18 people and hold space for all of them then to be with my 3 year old daughter 🙄😅? Is it just me that finds Motherhood so intense? I feel some shame and guilt about the fact that its often not so easy for me. Or is this just normal? Please moms, who can back me up on this!? #motherhood #unicorndaughter #rainbowchild #wildchild #lovehertothemoonandback #momanddaughter #parenting #mothering #singlemomlife

Wow can’t believe we have been seperated for 8 months already! It took me some time to get over the heart ache and face some of my biggest fears in the proces. But there was no other way then to go trough it and come out on the other side stronger and more mature. At a certain moment I decided to Love him anyway and to Love myself even more. I felt an immense gratitude for all we shared and all we learned together. Good and bad. This changed the whole game for me. Choosing Love no matter what saved me from years of frustration, resentment, anger and pain towards the father of my daughter. Yes he didn’t want to be with me anymore. And yes that hurts. And its exactly that ‘hurt’ that I used as the perfect opportunity to discover where I don’t love myself yet. And to find out if the one that’s hurt/rejected/abandoned really exist. It feels so good to take ownership over my own emotions, pain and triggers. I realise nobody can hurt me now, I can only hurt myself by taking things personal. I know we are connected for life because of our beautiful daughter. So we better just support each other and find joy in the things we still share. Also in this proces we still have our ups and downs, but the intention is there. A few months ago I started to get a bit nervous about facilitating the Bali Retreat and leaving Isabelle with a Balinese nanny for that period. Could I fully be present with the women that join the retreat? Could I fully drop in? Relax? Enjoy? Would she feel happy? My Heart said No. So I asked Wouter to come to Bali for that time... and he said yes! I think it’s beautiful we can still do things like this. Isa and I are now counting the days till his arrival. We start to miss (him It feels good to have him here with us again after 3 weeks of travelling just the 2 of us. And I can now fully be present at The Bali Bliss Women Yoga Retrear that starts in 10 days!! I really can’t wait to dive deep again into blissful Feminine energy with sisters from different parts of the world. I look so forward to welcome them and create a soft yet powerful field together where each and everyones authentic beauty and bliss is awakened. #modernfamily #connectedforever

Bali Bliss! It took us some days to land here in Ubud, but today we finally arrived! Cool pool, good friend and beautiful surroundings was all we need ☺️ Travelling alone with a 3-year old is intens I have to admit. Everything is so different for her; climate, food, people, house, our routines etc. This makes her extra clingy, cranky and demanding towards me, which is understandable too. But not being able to have a moment for myself to recharge to deal with it all made me feel a bit cookoo 🤪 Yesterday the thought ‘How am I going to survive a month like this’ crossed my mind for a moment 🤦🏻‍♀️ Too hot, too hard, too heavy? I realise its all relative. Life shows my over and over again that its all so momentary. One day its intens, the next day filled with happiness! My practice is to be AWARE of this ever changing energies and stay as the silent observer of it all. Letting it be as it is... Knowing that this is where I find my Bliss. Very grateful for this perfect day with my beautiful daughter and auntie Irene from @bobbys.table.ibiza 😆❤️ And so much respect for all the Mothers who are in full service every day 🙏 I so feel you all!!

We are ready for our great adventure!! Tomorrow the 2 of us fly to Bali!! Isa has been excited about this for months already. And so am I! I really wanted to go back to Bali this winter. I am looking forward to feel warmth again, wear as little clothes as possible 😏 and to drink daily coconuts of course 🥥! Also I wished to organise a Bali Bliss Women Retreat again since the one last year was such a great succes! As some of you maybe remember last year I went alone to Bali to facilitate my retreat. It was the first time I went away from Isa since she was born. Although for me it was so nourishing to be in my own energy again after 2,5 years full time mothering, she missed me a lot and got pretty sick. When I came back from the retreat I promised Isa to take her with me next time. And that time is Now! It felt a bit scary at first to make this trip to the other side of the world just with my daughter. The long flight, finding a home, what to do there with a toddler and how to manage my retreat? Travelling alone with a child seemed a bit more complicated! But I didn’t want the fact that I am single now hold me back from what I really want. The call in my Heart to go back to Bali was so strong that I decided not to think about it to much and just Trust that it will all work out for us. So here we are surrendering to the flow. One month in tropical paradise for me and my girl! I am happy I can take my daughter on this beautiful adventure. Showing her this new land, this new culture and what truly makes me happy. Because yes Bali brings out the best in me and hopefully also in her! There is no place in the world where I feel more beautiful, feminine, nourished and relaxed then here. Mama Bali we are coming for you!!!! If Bali is also calling you and you feel to join me on the last week for the Bali Bliss Women Retreat 8-15 Feb, check link in bio.
