WHAT STUDENTS & Guests SAY
“I followed the Yin Yoga training under the guidance of Jane Bakx in Spain. The content and the care were really top notch, given with a lot of love and passion and in a beautiful location. Learned a lot. Highly recommended.’’
~ Juriaan Galavazi
Dutch doctor, coach, public speaker & author of 2 books; ‘Van klacht naar kans’ (From Complaint to Opportunity) & ‘Jij bent de liefde’ (You are the Love)
“The Yoga retreat with Jane was, in one word, fantastic! The program consisted of a nice variety of different types of yoga and other activities that were taught with great knowledge and love. I learned many things that I can easily apply in my daily (busy) life. I would recommend this to anyone. To come a little closer to yourself in a world where we normally are (have to be) “on” (active) all the time. I met very nice people and the daily fresh food was delicious!
I look back on special and beautiful days.”
~ Astrid Boot
CREATE YOUR DAILY RITUAL
Yoga ~ Meditation ~ Breathwork
I want to encourage you to dedicate some time of your day to yourself. Some quality time for yourself besides all the time and energy you dedicate to your work and obligations. Take some time for either yoga or any movement of the body, for meditation or breathwork.
Especially, when you start your day doing something for yourself; making you feel relaxed, good, happy, energized, strong, etc. it can set the tone for the rest of your day. You will live a more happy life, feeling more energized and also feeling good and open in your body. It can also help to release and prevent stress.
Create a morning Yoga routine
Below you can find a few lovely short Yoga practices. They are part of the 'Create a morning Yoga routine' series. You can do these classes in the morning to start your day, but of course, also any other time that suits you.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
“I recently completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jane, and her patience, dedication, and passionate approach made all the difference. Her warm and caring personality created a safe environment where everyone felt comfortable, while her detailed explanations of anatomy enhanced our understanding of Yin Yoga's benefits. I left feeling inspired and ready to teach Yin Yoga myself. I highly recommend Jane's program if you seek Yin Yoga teacher training!”
~ Paulinka Roemer-Schipper (Curaçao)
‘‘I have been practicing with Jane for a few years now when I visit the island and I recently participated in her Yin TTC in Bonaire and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Jane is such a beautiful person and she teaches with such passion! I have been practicing yoga for many years and in these two weekends I learned so much that I can take home to my practice and hopefully one day share with others. I met some amazing people that I will never forget. This experience was physically good for me but it was also good for my soul and I attribute that to Jane and her wonderful teaching style. If you have the opportunity I strongly suggest you participate in one of her classes or courses!!’’
~ Jennifer Beaulieu (USA)
Jane Bakx ~ Yoga, Meditation & Breath Teacher 500 E-RYT
Jane is an E-RYT500 yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance certified) from the Netherlands. She lived most of her life in Amsterdam and worked as a producer in advertising. She has been practising yoga for over 25 years and teaching for over 8 years. After her two yoga studies (both in India), she decided to leave her job in advertising and follow her heart and passion for yoga full-time. Since then she has been teaching all over the world and organizing yoga teacher training courses and retreats. Jane’s home base is now on Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands.
Yoga for Jane is mainly about connecting with yourself; with your body, mind and heart. Yoga teaches you to listen to your body more. The focus in Jane’s classes is therefore on making that connection with yourself and at the same time on gaining strength and flexibility.
She mainly teaches Vinyasa yoga and Yin yoga. Both styles in her own way. In her Vinyasa classes, you move quite slowly so that you can really get into the poses, feel your body and build a lot of strength. During the Yin classes, you dive deep inside yourself.
