News from the yogastudio
If you’ve been to the Amsterdamsestraatweg lately, you may have noticed that it’s looking a bit barren. The municipality is in the process of preparing the redesign of the street. And as a first step, they cut down all the trees. In the new design of the street there will be more space for greenery, and hopefully there will be happier trees. For now, the cheerfulness in the street is provided by the rainbow flags – because Utrecht Pride starts at the ASW on June 1. Meanwhile we try to compensate for the lack of greenery with our little garden jungle!
In the coming weeks and months, all kinds of activities will take place in our studio, and we can’t wait to welcome you. So read more below!
A weekend with Eyal Shifroni - 8 & 9 June
Eyal Shifroni teaches all over the world. And we understand why people love his teaching so much. We have really enjoyed his gentle, refined and joyful teaching on his previous visits to Utrecht. So set aside this time for yourself to discover ways to deepen your practice and find inspiration. It’s a wonderful opportunity! There are still some spaces available and it’s also possible to book a single workshop day here.
Eyal often donates to Physicians for Human Rights, so he asks to inform you that he intends to donate half of his income from the upcoming workshop for this humanitarian organization. You can learn about them on their website.

Now that summer has not even started, it’s hard to believe that it will, some day, end again. But it will. And then, after your vacation maybe, you get the chance to do a mini-retreat in the city with Tally.
This workshop is open to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Tally’s creative approach and cheerful personality will give you the confidence to do things you did not think you could! For the third year in a row, you can enjoy her sunny presence and extend the summer vibes a bit longer. Registration is now open!
“Disease implies an ‘absence of ease’ or an imbalance. An internal storm. A perfect breeding ground for fear, uncertainty and doubt. All of which seem to resonate in our current global climate. These traits are not limited to those of us with a “condition.” We don’t need to have a neurological disorder in order to benefit from participating in this workshop.”
– Garth McLean
The workshops is now open for registration to everyone, with a special focus on individuals with MS, Parkinson’s, Long Covid, neurological and movement challenges, as well as yoga teachers or teachers in training. All levels are welcome. And even though you are warmly invited if you have a movement challenge, it’s even better if you start learning to deal with the ‘absence of ease’ before you have physical challenges!
