My experience was transformative. I learnt so much about myself, life and what yoga is and what it isn’t. Anneriek is truly one of a kind. She is such a beautiful, kind and compassionate soul with a wicked sense of humour and an intense yoga practice. She offers so much of herself in this retreat with an abundance of opportunities to engage in a variety of yoga styles but also to gain an incredible insight into the fascinating spiritual component of yoga. Many other retreats I looked into advertised limited yoga practice throughout the retreat and a lot of “relaxation” time. With Anneriek’s retreat you are gifted so much more. What a life changing experience.

This weekend was beyond anything I could have imagined and absolutely wonderful. It’s been transformative on a physical and spiritual level and I know this is just the very beginning of my journey which I’m now excited to start. I loved Anneriek’s gentle yet encouraging guidance to feel ‘the edge’ and know that you are safe.

Beautiful setting and transforming yoga experience with committed and enthusiastic people. A fantastic couple days. Beyond what I was expecting. The meditation and chanting both really added to the experience.

The whole experience was amazing - the location, the food, the yoga, the mindfulness activities, everything. It opens your mind and encourages you to move in the moment, which is what we all need. Anneriek has a beautiful energy and aura, and the knowledge and experience she has in incredible. The blind folded actives where real ‘eye openers’ and I liked how the ‘gate gate’ experience encourages positive energy. All the people on the retreat were beautiful and openminded.

Thank you! During the retreats you encourage me to look at myself, with guidance, encouragement and joy. My trust in Anneriek is absolute and she has taken me on a beautiful path, where I would never have thought to have gone. Thank you.

Anneriek’s vitality, warmth and generosity is embedded in her teaching and in the spirit of the retreat. Anneriek explained ways to access and practice difficult poses that helped me progress. I can now see a way into the pose which before was always a “no way”.

As with previous retreats, you have made me feel like I’m part of the family. You have fed me delicious healthy, vegetarian food. You have challenged my body with flowing asanas and you have fed my soul with inspirational affirmations. Thank you.  I really enjoyed the chanting and the talk about mental chatter and how to stay in the here and now. I also loved Mat Omo’s session with the crystal bowls and gongs.

Anneriek’s classes push you out of your comfort zone to discover yourself. Her retreats are just the same but immerse you in a universe of joy, frustration and accomplishment. After each retreat I felt centred, energised and happy too.

A truely immersive experience. A few days felt like a week of self-love, relaxation, good food, and amazing yoga. The connection I formed with the other yogis has given me inspiration and filled me with gratitude. The here and now is the best place to be.. I really liked the blindfolded activities and the camaraderie over the ‘gate gate’ experience.

I have had the honour and privilege to attend three yoga retreats at Anneriek’s beautiful home. Each one has exposed me to new experiences, depended my love for yoga and brought me closer to knowing my true self. As a regular class attendee of Anneriek’s, I can absolutely recommend a retreat (or class) out in the bush surroundings, to enjoy Anneriek’s energy, ‘joie de vivre’ and vast yoga teaching experience.  I hope to use the knowledge I have gained as i move forward on my journey, staying in this beautiful, perfect, present moment.

I loved to be with likeminded people in a warm, loving and sharing environment. Anneriek’s teaching is encouraging, fun and compassionate, the family the same. She helps us push our boundaries out a little more. Giving me more confidence in my practice. An awesome weekend. Feeling blessed to be here!!! I really enjoyed the trust and connection that s created amongst everyone who attended. I liked the asanas and meditation practices, the wonderful food, the ‘gong guru’ and of course Xena the wonder dog.

Loved the Here & Now retreat. It was a real opportunity to get in touch with the present moment and my truths, to realise what is really important to me. It was all wonderful, the people, the location, the event and the food.

Being in the here and now a place i barely visit but with guidance and support from an amazing teacher on this weekend retreat  I learnt to appreciate the small things in life, to slow down and be present with all things. I learnt to go beyond my boundaries, to jump into the unknown blindfolded (literally) and embrace all that came my way.   A wonderful place to let go and explore the more in depth parts of yoga.  surrounded by caring like minded souls. This retreat has left my heart full of love for all things in the here and now.
