What kind of yoga?

Hatha yoga, based on the system of mr. B.K.S. Iyengar, but with a softer aproach.

Yoga helps you to be in better contact with your body. Yoga helps you, to find more balance, more strength, and more flexibility. Yoga helps to calm down the nerves, it brings down the bloodpresure and the heart beat. Therefor it is extremely helpfull in this modern times with a lot of external presure and competition. It can help to reduce stress related simptoms such as headach, stomach problems, sleeping problems and so on. Because of the importance of the alignment and the spine in many yoga exercises, it is also very helpfull against back pain. You don't need to be 'super-fit' to do yoga. Everybody has stronger and weaker parts in his body. By paying a lot of attention to this while doing the yoga-poses, and by continuing this attention throughout the day, you will reach a better balance.

Oona Giesen
started with Iyengar Yoga about 40 years ago, around 1973, when she was eight years old. She was trained by Agnes Hillen, Margriet Post, Victor van Kooten and, most of all, by her mother Jeanne Buntinx. All these yoga teachers were all trained personally by mr B.K.S. Iyengar.
Oona started teaching Iyengar based Hatha Yoga about 15 years ago, in her mothers yoga school in Amsterdam/The Netherlands, and in her own yoga school on the island Paros in Greece. Although she has a slightly softer approach, you can feel the influences of B.K.S. Iyengar in her classes. Because of her own experience after a car accident, she knows verry well how to help with backproblems

The Hatha Yoga courses hereby offered have a duration of 1 week/six days (no classes on wednesday). Classes will be 2 1/2 hour every morning (6 times from 10:00 - 12:30), and every other day additional 1 1/2 hour classes in the afternoon (3 times from 18:00 - 19:30). The rest of the day is free for yourself, other activities, and to enjoy the island.

Classes start and end with 10- 15 minutes of breathing/relaxation. The rest of the class we do asanas. Props will be used (pillows, blankets, belts and so on) to adapt the exercises to your own level.
Small groups of maximum 10 people ensure enough personal attention and correction. Therefor people of all levels are welcome; also those without yoga experience. The groups will be limited in size (maximum 10 persons) so that individual attention and correction are possible. Classes are in English.

You can also organise your own group and contact us to find a suitable schedule.
