Introduction
We are no longer used to following the voice of our hearts in Western life. Our minds drown out the whispers of the heart. We react from our judgments and expectations. Engage in an open encounter with yourself on this yoga weekend.
Learned patterns are clarified so you can allow love. With your commitment, it will be a spiritual experience that is deeply impactful.
About the yoga weekend
On this short yoga retreat, you will experience the difference between living on autopilot and living with open attention. Sensations, feelings, thoughts; they come and go. You will learn to look at this in a friendly and interested way during this weekend.
We train in yoga, or unification. We do this by exploring the eight steps as written down by Patanjali in the yoga sutras: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi.
So our journey is not only through asanas (postures). There is also ample attention to the other components of yoga: self-observation (nyama), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana). In addition to the yoga we practice, ashram activities play a role in the yoga weekend.
Body, mind, heart and soul: all are addressed.
Yoga retreat location
The yoga weekend takes place at the ashram Sada Shava Dham in Loenen (Gelderland). Watch this video here to get an idea of the weekend.
The ashram is located on the Veluwe as an oasis of tranquility. The ashram is built on a large plot of land at the edge of the forest, with a beautiful garden. An herb and vegetable garden are also available. You can help sow and reap here through karma yoga.
In recent years, the complex was expanded to include a larger temple. This was partly thanks to the help of participants in our weekends, who did their part with karma yoga.
We will participate in a number of regular monastic activities during this yoga retreat. An example is the havan (meditation by the fire), the aarti (meditation with mantras) and karma yoga. This consists of physical work at the ashram: helping with cooking and work in the herb and vegetable garden. The goal of karma yoga is to achieve meditation through activity.
Also good to know: we divide the day into two, so that rest can be taken in the afternoon. You are always welcome to do your own thing, as long as you are mindful of the tranquility at the ashram. If you prefer to skip a workshop or the meditation one time, this is no problem at all. By agreement, you can deviate from the program.
Surroundings yoga weekend
The location of the yoga weekend is Loenen, a village on the Veluwezoom. There is plenty of nature in the area. Take one step outside the ashram and you are in a beautiful forest. Of course, we will also go hiking here. The waterfall found in this forest is, at 15 meters, the highest in the Netherlands.
In addition, a place of interest is the steam train, which runs between Apeldoorn and Dieren and also calls at Loenen in between. So you could even come by steam train! (Check here for the schedule) Finally, a stone’s throw from the ashram is the stately 16th century Castle Ter Horst.

Linda is a yoga teacher and certified instructor in the Wim Hof Method. She also found depth in a 10-day silent retreat in vipassana meditation and attended a 21-day Ayurvedic body cleanse in the Indian Himalayas. Linda creates an authentic, loving and safe environment that makes the activity you take with her an unforgettable experience for you.
Linda trained as a yoga teacher in India. This traditional Indian yoga training gave her an authentic foundation in all facets of yoga. Combined with the many insights the 10-day silence retreat in vipassana meditation gave her, this provides valuable depth.
Anjanidebie is daughter, sister(s) mother and grandmother. Her roots are in India and she came to the Netherlands as a 1-year-old. Thanks to her wonderful parents, she was introduced to the path of Yoga as a child. At age 7, she first met a Guru and there the seed was planted.
In 1979, a Guru came and organized a yoga camp. There they first learned Dhyana (meditation) and Pranayama (breath), for Anjani today still the most important parts of Patanjali’s 8-fold path.
Years later, she started my very first yoga teacher training in 2005 and got much more in touch with the physical part of yoga. Through Yoga and Meditation classes, workshops, courses and yoga teacher training, among others, she enjoys passing on her knowledge and experience to others. She herself has been practicing Yoga and Meditation off and on for many years and still does so with great pleasure and love. Still there is a lot to learn. Each time she discovers a new layer, a deeper meaning. Yoga, Dhyana and Pranayama has become an important part of her life and has shaped her into the person she is today.
Lara van Roest is a lawyer and yoga instructor. A beautiful combination, in which she can give her curiosity and interest in what moves people, what they need and what can help them all space. She knows better than anyone how important it is to keep your balance (and that it is sometimes difficult). Yoga and meditation help Lara with that, in addition to walking on the beach and traveling.
Lara finds the interplay of body, head, breath and energy, balance and imbalance and what you can do in that with yoga and meditation incredibly fascinating. She is trained in yin yoga, yoga nidra, restorative yoga, among others. She also specializes in yoga for stress and burnout, chair yoga and yoga for Parkinson’s and yoga for cancer, among others. She has been teaching group classes and workshops for several years, and Lara also teaches private classes and online corporate yoga. Her classes are down to earth with depth.
The ashram’s amazing team supports this yoga, meditation and mindfulness retreat.
