Ashtanga Yoga & Art therapy
in Veghel
We’re a center in Veghel dedicated to helping you keep your body healthy, your energy steady, and your mind clear for the years ahead.
We work with 2 disciplines we’ve studied at their source:
Ashtanga Yoga
A method where you move through a set sequence at your own pace, with individual guidance from the teacher.
Postures are added step by step, so your body builds strength, mobility, and balance in a safe, sustainable way.
The breath leads the movement, training focus and calming the nervous system.
Over time, this regular rhythm supports overall health: improving circulation, breathing, and joint mobility, while keeping your mind clear and steady.
For many, it also becomes a deeper practice of self-awareness, bringing a sense of connection and meaning that extends beyond the mat.
Art Therapy & Neurographica
Through Art therapy and Neurographica, we bring hidden patterns, emotions, and conflicts
into view so you can address them consciously.
These methods engage both the emotional and logical parts of the brain, activating body
and mind together.
Over time, they become a practical way to maintain mental well-being, build emotional stability, and stay aligned with what truly matters to you.
The Mysore Ashtanga Yoga method is perfect for anyone seeking to enhance their physical, mental, and spiritual growth.
Passed down through generations, this traditional practice offers a powerful discipline for the body and mind, serving as a transformative path for personal development.
What is Mysore-style?
It’s a self-paced practice in a group setting, where students receive personalized guidance and adjustments from the teacher. Adjustments are optional and always respect the student’s preferences.
How it Works:
In practice, the Ashtanga Yoga Mysore method involves these key steps:
- Self-paced practice: Students begin at their own level, memorizing the sequence of poses (asanas) from the Primary Series onwards. They move through the postures at their own rhythm, guided by their breath.
- Guided by the teacher: A teacher offers individual adjustments, corrections, and encouragement. They help students refine their practice, ensure proper alignment, and provide support tailored to each student’s needs.
- Focus on breath and movement: Practitioners connect breath with each movement, maintaining a steady flow. The breathing (free breathing with sound) is emphasized, keeping the mind centered and the energy flowing.
- Building discipline and consistency: The Mysore practice encourages daily repetition, fostering self-discipline, patience, and deeper awareness of the body-mind connection.
- Freedom within structure: While following a fixed sequence, students have the freedom to progress at their own pace, deepening their practice gradually and with focus.
Beginners start with short sessions (about 20 minutes), gradually increasing as they progress.
This method ensures a safe and transformative practice, guided step by step by the teacher.

- Question:I’ve never done yoga before. Is it suitable for beginners?Answer:Absolutely! Our classes are designed for all levels, including complete beginners. You’ll be guided step-by-step, and the practice is adaptable to your pace and needs. No previous experience required.
- Question:I’m not very flexible. Will yoga be too difficult for me?Answer:Flexibility is not a requirement to start yoga! Ashtanga Yoga helps improve flexibility over time, and our teacher will guide you to move at your own pace, making each class accessible for your body type.
- Question:What if I fall behind in class or can’t keep up?Answer:Don’t worry! Each student moves at their own pace in Ashtanga Yoga. It’s not about competition or comparing yourself to others. You’ll feel supported as you progress at your own speed.
- Question:I’m not sure if yoga is for my age. Is it too late to start?Answer:It’s never too late to start yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is suitable for all ages, and our classes are tailored to accommodate everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Many students in their 40s and beyond have found it to be a transformative practice that improves both physical and mental well-being.
For example, our student Henriette began her Ashtanga journey at the age of 63. - Question:I’ve tried other methods to manage stress, but they didn’t work. Why should I try yoga?Answer:Ashtanga Yoga combines movement, strength, and deep breathing to release stress and clear your mind. Many of our students found it more effective than other methods like meditation or fitness routines because it works both physically and mentally.

Introduction to Art-therapy
The goal isn’t to create art.
The goal is to understand yourself through the art you create.
-
I can’t draw
Artistic skill isn’t required.
The focus is on expression, not perfection. -
It’s just for artists or children
Art therapy is widely used in business, coaching, and psychotherapy with adults, teams, and leaders. -
I’d rather talk
Verbal insight is powerful, but creative expression can access layers of experience that are hard to reach through words alone.
Forms of Art therapy
I choose the form of art therapy based on your request, emotional state, and goals.
Some techniques help to release tension, others to clarify what's happening inside
or support decision-making.
There’s no universal formula:
I tailor the method to what will work best for you or your team at this moment.
-
