Is it hard for you to laugh or do you just want to laugh more? Ready to see the bright sight of life (again) and to reconnect to your unique laughter? Then a laughter yoga workshop might be something for you!  Laughter has many positive benefits for our psychological and physiological well-being.

15:30 - 16:45 | Yin Yoga the art of doing less = feeling more and feeling more alive

by Ilona Wijnands| Body & Mind Studio| University Sports Centre, P. Debyeplein 15

Most of us are used to doing a lot of “things” to feel alive. In primary and elementary school, we don’t get educated about slowing down or taking naps. But what if you can feel MORE alive by doing LESS? This is the field of Being in Doing. Due to the integration of yoga, meditation and silence, into our daily day life, we can make this change. The more we slow down, the more we reconnect with our true nature, emotions and feelings.

Yin yoga is a gift for those who are looking for a more in-depth practise of reconnecting to their true nature. For those who are longing for more rest and ritualising stillness into the daily busy yang life-style. During the workshop you will be showered with yin yoga and loads of deep breaths. 

Introduction of Ilona
Hi, my name is Ilona Wijnands. In my daily life I am a passionate yoga teacher. I love to make people aware of how they take care of themselves, their time, energy and boundaries. I love to share and listen to real life stories from all kind of people. Teaching people how to properly rest and listen to their body is my specialism. No degrees needed, just step into a pure yin yoga class.

My life has always been hectic and busy and filled up with “things”. For the most time I was in doing modus, to avoid feeling all my feelings. I studied communication and was busy building my career. Doing loads of tasks and taking care of others and projects made me feel like I was somebody. But it left me unseen and empty inside at the end of the day. The moment yin yoga came into my life, everything changed.
