<< Hatha yoga - Inner Axis >> Everything we experience, we experience throughout our bodies. Our body is not a machine. It has its own intelligence. Emotions of joy, happiness, pain and loss run through our entire body. What we push away gets stuck. What we stun loses its power, dies. In the practice of hatha yoga and Inner Axis we turn to our body. We look for the way inward through breathing to learn to understand the language of our body. It is a slow, caring path that leads to transformation from cold to warm, from hard to powerful, from rushed to calm, from lost to connection. Depression, insomnia, anxiety are slowly but surely disappearing. Yoga classes

<< Talk Therapy >> In most family stories there are knots, gaps, paradoxes, contradictions. From our naming, we become part of this story. It will be our story. We learn to communicate in a certain way, develop communication patterns and pass them on. Some communication patterns can eventually trap us: they fix our way of seeing and thinking. You don't understand why you keep going in the same circles. From a systems therapeutic point of view, we turn to the system in which you move, we look for patterns and ways to break through circles. Changing your way of thinking and seeing makes transformation possible in your way of living and living together. I work as a system therapist, I am recognized by the BVRGS (Belgian Association of Relationship and Family Therapy and system coach) At the same time I work as a yoga therapist and integrate the insights from the bodywork with talk therapy. The combination of talk therapy and bodywork makes the therapeutic process more profound. Depending on each individual client, we will work together to find what works best for you. Commitment, respect, integrity are my basic values in the approach to each client. Do you have a question or would you like a appointment: Thank you! Message sent. Send

Your Captain: Osman ​ Osman grew up as a child in his parents' family business. as captain from the boat Esinti, which means 'sea breeze', it takes us to safe coves and ports. The Esinti is a typical gulet, a wood-crafted two-master. The boat was made in Bozborun, where Osman grew up. In addition to Osman, 4 crew members are sailing along: a cook and three sailors. They are at the service of the entire group event. Together, as one team, we blow our 'breath into the sails'. Dominique Houbaert, Gent "De scheepsbel klingelt. Blote voeten hoorbaar op het houten gangboord, matten worden uitgerold op het dek. Sommigen zitten er al een tijdje en kijken kalm uit over het water, de gouden gloed van de ochtendzon op het gezicht. Enkelen hebben reeds gezwommen in de stilte van de ochtend en drogen hun haren na. Het schip wiegt zachtjes. Namaste. Het begint .... ​ Wat een week. Weer thuis wieg ik nog na. Dit heeft op zoveel vlakken deugd gedaan. En het heeft me doen verdiepen, meer dan ik had verwacht. Tijdens een week “Adem in de zeilen” is er niet alleen het mooie zeilschip Esinti dat je meevoert naar prachtige baaien, er is ook Hilde die je met haar oefeningen en ervaring verder laat zeilen dan dat je dacht te kunnen gaan. Een geschenk en een aanrader!” Nicole en Frank, Poeke “Voor mij en mijn vriend was het de eerste keer dat wij meegingen. We kwamen in een fantastische groep terecht die reeds verschillende malen van deze unieke belevenis hadden mogen genieten. Onze verbazing was groot toen we merkten dat wij spontaan met véél liefde en genegenheid werden opgenomen. Ikzelf heb er een kant van mezelf leren kennen die ik totaal niet kende. Maar wel een positieve kant ! Ik kon me zachtjes laten meevoeren door de lieve, warme, zachte stem van Hilde waardoor ik kon wegdromen tot een totale staat van ontspanning . Iets wat voor mij bijna ondenkbaar was. Ik (wij) kunnen zo’n unieke ervaring met volle overtuiging aanraden. Je komt zeker en vast als herboren terug! En nog dit even terzijde. Ook het eten is fantastisch lekker. Niet onbelangrijk toch?” Christine Van Canneyt, Gent “Een week op het prachtig schip ' de Esinti ' in Turkije met Hilde, is de mooiste combinatie van Yoga - natuur - herbronnen - cultuur -vriendschap - herademen - verdiepen -healing - plezier -relaxen - culinaire hoogstandjes. Een aanrader voor iedereen!” Kaat Cousin, Dendermonde "Loslaten… Langs de ene kant kijk ik daar naar uit omdat het iets is dat ik niet of moeilijk kan en langs de andere kant boezemt het me angst in over wat het mogelijks teweegbrengt.Dit was het gevoel dat mij bekroop hoe dichter we bij afreizen stonden. Hilde haar reactie was een schot in de roos waardoor ik met vertrouwen begon af te tellen: “Heb maar volle vertrouwen in het hele proces. We zijn een week op de boot, dat geeft voldoende tijd om te zakken en naar boven te komen. En loslaten en veranderen, dat is deel van het leven. Alles verandert. Ook wij. Veranderen is goed en gezond. En ons lichaam/geest is meer dan behoedzaam genoeg om enkel de verandering toe te laten die we aankunnen. Je zou anders niet meegaan. Dus, diep in- en uitademen en vertrouwen. Ik kijk er naar uit je daar te zien.”... De week is voorbijgevlogen. Yogamomenten afgewisseld met gesprekken, wandelen, zonnen, lachen, schrijven, stadsbezoek, zwemmen, suppen… En niet te vergeten, onze innerlijke mens werd dagelijks gesterkt door super, maar dan ook superlekker eten... Het immense van de zee is adembenemend. Zittend op de boot, mijmerend over gevoelens, gewoonten, mensen, situaties… Tranen rollen over mijn wangen. Loslaten. Adem in en uit. Het deinen van de boot op het water. Gesprekken met anderen, het delen van gevoelens en ervaringen. Toch nood om af ten toe vaste grond onder mijn voeten te voelen. Fysieke uitdaging door bergwandeling. Moeke hier doorheen begeleiden/praten. Rollen keren zich om, ik mag voor haar zorgen. Fysieke aanraking doet zo’n deugd maar maakt tegelijkertijd zoveel los. Minder opnemen, meer afsluiten wordt een oefening voor het leven. Overweldigd worden door het oneindige, immense van de zee. Dankbaar voor zoveel moois. Gedragenheid van de groep is groot. Gesprek over vergankelijkheid kwam binnen. Om oud te worden is moed nodig. Zingen is gênant tot zingen is veelbetekenend/verbindend. Zonsopgang /zonsondergang. KarmaYoga. Vriendelijke, behulpzame en charmante bemanning... Zwemmen in de zee. Prachtige natuur. Een ervaring om nooit te vergeten. Dankjewel Hilde, dankjewel reisgenoten, dankjewel bemanning, dankjewel moeke dat ik deze week met jullie mocht beleven."

Yoga The body knows everything. It never forgets. Talk therapy In stories we are born. Spirituality And all that’s alive breathes in - out, gives fire and light that moves inside.

<< Spirituality >> Spirituality is the connection with our life breath. Spirituality searches for the language of the soul, of the heart. Millennia old spiritual traditions have developed rituals, stories, songs, lyrics that interpret the language of the heart and soul. They provide people with mirrors of feeling, they connect people to their deepest core. They let people breathe in their whole being. We turn to texts, stories, songs from the different great spiritual traditions: Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam. We turn to texts, stories, songs of philosophers, mystics, spiritual predecessors past and present that show paths to meaning, wholeness, happiness. Workshop The breath of life - Life worth breathing ​ Inner Axis Yoga - Max Strom During three workshops we delve into inner axis. We practice breathing in combination with yoga postures, practice in deeper, transforming breathing. We will discuss the insights behind inner axis through the book 'the breath of life' by Max Strom. Reading the book is an added value, not necessary. It is built around the three pillars of transformation. Every afternoon we focus on one of these pillars: body, mind, heart. If you are interested in this workshop, please contact us by email. ​ ​ For questions or registration: Thank you! Message sent. Send
