FAQ
Where in the Netherlands do you give workshops? And are you willing to do international workshops?
From Limburg to Drenthe and back to North or South Holland. We have been to many places. Our instructors live in different places around the country, therefore there is a good chance we can help you! Please contact us and we will check the availability of our instructors immediately. As well about giving workshops abroad, we are open to talk :)
In what languages do you give workshops?
English and Dutch.
Can we do the workshop at our office?
That depends on whether there is enough space available at your office. A team session or workshop for 10 - 20 people can take place in the office in most cases. Remember, it takes quite a bit of space to lay out 20 yoga mats. We also have several collaborations (and experiences) with wonderful external locations (for ex. by the beach or in nature). We are happy to think along with you!
Is breathwork and an ice bath safe for everyone?
Even though there are many science-based benefits of breathwork and ice baths, there are also contra-indications. The workshops are not suitable for full participation for pregnant women, people with cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy or serious health problems. When in doubt, always consult a doctor.
Note: no participant ever HAS to participate in taking an ice bath or do deep breathing techniques. Participation is by free will at all times. As well if participants have contra-indications, then they don't have to stay at home. They can still participate in the workshop in an adjusted and valuable way.
Can workshops be customised?
Yes definitely! The workshops are about 70% standardized and 30% customized. We always do an intake, to hear more about your people and your desired outcomes. Ask us your question and we will think along with you!
What do participants need to bring to a workshop?
It is best if participants wear comfortable clothes (including wearing socks, as we take our shoes off on the yoga mats). If the ice bath is part of the workshop, then participants also need to bring the following: flipflops, swimwear or sportswear, and a towel. Preferably also: bathrobe, (warm) hat. We always share this information with participants in advance.
Some colleagues might not want to participate in the ice bath part. Is that okay?
Each participant decides for themselves :) It's always based on free will. As a participant, you can decide whether you prefer to do go in the ice bath in swimwear or sportswear. Even if you do not go into the ice bath, you can still participate in a workshop with an ice bath. It's a group exercise and we all support each other.
Note: there is also a possibility of a workshop where participants only put their hands in buckets of ice.
Who are the instructors?
We are a team of certified breathwork instructors, all with (years of) experience in the corporate world. Therefore, we speak the language of your people. We know how we can bring these topics in a way that is fun and engaging, instead of 'woo-woo' and spiritual. Our instructors have a really diverse background, from a former police officer or dancer, to a boxer or yoga instructor.
Depending on the request and location, we match your team or company with the right instructor.
What are the most important benefits of breathwork?
The science-based breathing techniques are known for the following benefits: lowering stress levels, increasing resilience, better energy and focus management, strengthening the mind, cardiovascular and immune systems.
