Connect 2025
A 5 day retreat close to the sea
October 15 - 19, 2025
Yoga Bee Villa, Domburg, the Netherlands
are you joining us?
We are inviting you to a beautiful private location close to one of our favorite places to be: the beach.
A beautiful and cozy house, with a pool, sauna and beautiful garden.
5 d a y r e t r e a t
5 days filled with:
- loving movement:
experience moving in an embodied way, with all the time in the world to explore and be curious - nourishing stillness:
restorative yoga where you will rest supported by blankets and pillows for comfort, yoga nidra for deep rest and we will practice different ways to meditate - finding and using your voice:
through journaling and kirtan where we will sing and chant - private sessions - limited availability:
we use this session for what you want or need! Maybe you'd like to learn what Biddy can do for you from a Yoga Therapy perspective. Or maybe you want to reflect on life with coach & psychologist Marcella. This will be your time!
W o r k s h o p s
- Yoga practices for all bodies and experience levels
- Embodied movement
- Restorative practices to help your body find rest and relaxation
- Chanting to find and use your voice
- Creative workshops will include -among other things- music and journaling
Through movement we will focus on our body and how movement feels. Strengthening the connections with all of your body, from your toes to the crown of your head. Through soft and small movement and through yoga asana we will open ourselves up to feel and connect.
Embodied movement means you will be guided to find ways to move that fit YOU and where you are at, instead of making your body fit into poses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need to have Yoga experience?
You do not! Wether you have been practicing daily for years or not at all, these workshops will be accessible to everyone. In the lead up to the retreat Biddy will release a Yoga for beginners video online, so you can get in the mood!
What are the payment options?
Contact Biddy if you would like to spread your payments. The first downpayment to register your booking is €100. Your last payment is due on September 8th, 2025,at the latest, and we can work out a payment plan working up to that! Email Biddy for more information: biddy@yogavayu.nl
Will I have time for myself?
Yes! There will be a balance between the workshops and joined activities and time to be by yourself. You are always free to skip an activity if you need a little more space.
Do I need to bring anything special?
Comfortable clothes, including shoes that will be okay for a walk on the Monte Rosa grounds. Bathing suit, sun screen and a beachtowel.A water bottle and your favorite pen if you have one. If you have your own Yoga mat and accessories you can bring those, but these can also be made available to you on the location. A more detailed list will be sent to you a little closer to the retreat date.
How many people can join the retreat?
I have purposefully chosen to keep the group small. The venue our workshops will take place in holds 14 participants max. That means that there will be enough space for us to connect to each and every one of you. This allows space for your needs and experience. This of course also means that there are limited spots available, please contact me if you have any questions!
