Welcome to Yoga Unit!

Warm greetings to everyone! I am Olga Brouwer,

a RYT® 500 yoga teacher (completed a 500+ hour yoga teacher training that is registered with Yoga Alliance).

Yoga feels like home to me. Whenever I need to restore, energize, reconnect to myself, Yoga is an answer! Over the years I have found my strength, mental clarity and inner powers through yoga practice. Yoga helps me stay fit, grounded and true to myself.

Yoga is a beautiful way to connect your body and soul. Ready to discover yoga benefits for yourself? You are welcome to join yoga practice with me in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht!

What is Yoga

Yoga takes its meaning from Sanskrit ‘Yuj’ – ‘to join’ or ‘to unite’. And the strongest connection is the one that unites our bodies and souls, bringing us to balance on all levels!

What are Physical Benefits of Yoga?

There are just so many! Yoga rejuvenates the whole body, helps strengthen the spine, stimulates blood circulation and metabolism. Yoga has enormous positive effects on your cardio and central nervous system. Weekly practice will boost the function of internal organs, help you develop strength and flexibility, release muscle tension, feel Free and Secure in your body.

What are Mental Benefits of Yoga?

In Yoga we come to mental clarity and balance through physical practice. Weekly practice quickly improves sleep, boosts energy, activates creative and clear thinking.

Who benefits the most from Yoga?

Everyone! Yoga is for everyone! It doesn’t matter what is your background, life style, occupancy, body type, tastes or way of thinking… Yoga is a homecoming, feeling at home in your own body, feeling connected on all levels.

Your Body, Your Practice! Yoga helps find and develop a deeper mind and body connection, helps ReConnect even… Whenever we feel restless, distracted, stressed, lost or searching… Yoga helps find an answer. Your mind reaches for clarity and your body energises and rejuvenates with every practice.

Can people with medical conditions practice Yoga?

Absolutely! Some medical conditions and injuries can cause daily stress and negatively affect quality of life. Yoga practice can reduce symptoms of medical conditions and help you recover after injuries. However, no yoga teacher can promise a cure or healing for medical conditions, this stays strictly a doctor’s expertise. That’s why it is highly recommended to consult with a doctor before joining yoga class. Depending on student’s condition there will be variations and adjustments offered to make the asana flow less challenging and more effective.

Classes are given in English

As an expat myself, I would like to create an international environment during my yoga classes with English as a common language for all my students.

What is my motivation?

My ultimate goal is to create a community of dedicated yogis, grow and build up the practice together. I believe that only a regular practice makes yoga the best tool for our physical and mental development. I also believe that regular yoga practice is incredibly empowering, liberating and inspiring!

How to find Your yoga teacher?

First of all, Your perfect yoga teacher is NOT a perfect teacher with extreme knowledge and mastered techniques! Your perfect fit is someone who feels warm, safe, comfortable and inspiring. If you like a person’s energy and enjoy being around, that’s the one! As a teacher myself I had some struggles in the past, taking
