Yoga Therapy in Breda
Who it’s for
Many participants join us with one or more of these themes:
• Chronic or recurring pain
• Stress, sensory overload, or burn out
• Fatigue or Long COVID related symptoms
• Sleep problems or difficulty recovering after exertion
Scope
Yoga therapy can be used preventively, as complementary support, and in a recovery focused way. It is not medical treatment and does not replace medical care.
What you can expect
• Gentle, targeted postures for relaxation and mobility
• Breath regulation to calm the nervous system and rebuild energy
• Mindfulness and body awareness for steadiness and focus
• Personal guidance in small groups or one to one sessions
• Clear explanations and realistic home practices
​
Why it’s unique with us
• Academic yoga therapy background. Marlies is an MSc Yoga Therapy student at Vivekananda Yoga University (VaYU). She was the first person in Europe following this master’s programme at IAYT level.
• Science and tradition. An evidence informed approach using the bio psycho social model and polyvagal principles, connected to the koshas, gunas, and vayus in clear, accessible language.
• A therapeutic learning line. Classes with purpose, dosage, regressions, stimulus management, and energy pacing to support recovery.
• Experience and recognition. E RYT 500 and YACEP, mindfulness trainer, breath coach, member of VYN and VMBN, international presentations, and Long COVID expertise.
• Safe and realistic. No medical claims, but a step by step build up, freedom of choice, and a calm setting.
• Impact in daily life. Participants often report less tension, better sleep, and more sense of control. Results vary per person.
