19 - 25 September, 2010 in Ubud (Bali), organized by Be Your Own Yoga and Delight Yoga in association with One World Retreats.

The Joyful Yoga Retreat is all about exploring joy. The joy of yoga, the joy of moving freely, the joy of being alive.

This all-inclusive retreat on the magical island of Bali, will be a joy for the 6 senses. Daily yoga classes and Let Your Yoga Dance® classes, 3 delicious meals per day, luxurious spa treatment and ample time for relaxation and contemplation.

The traditional Balinese purification ceremony at the Tirta Empul temple, a sunrise yoga class on Batur Volcano and a bike ride through rural Bali will give you the opportunity to not only connect with yourself, but also with the spirit of the Island of Gods.

This retreat offers a unique combination of Ashtanga Yoga, Kripalu Yoga and Let Your Yoga Dance®. The classes will be guided by Marije E. Paternotte and Kristin Skotnes Vikjord.

Everyone is invited to join. Open to all yoga levels.

For ten years, Marije worked as a lawyer serving big corporations and wealthy individuals, both in The Netherlands and in Curaçao. Though she enjoyed the challenges and rewards of the work, she also felt the accompanying stress. It was during this time that she discovered the benefits of yoga and a window to a new way of life was opened. A way that would bring her joy and peace of mind.

With 7 years of yoga experience, Marije is a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, trained at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Massachusetts and is registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT200). Additionally, Marije is certified by the world-renowned Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica as a Let Your Yoga Dance® teacher.

Furthermore, Marije studied for two years at School of Life in Amsterdam; an integral training for consciousness, healing and reading. Through this program, she learned healing and reading skills, as well as conscious communication.
