AcroYoga Island Retreat

Nature, AcroYoga community, and connection—these are the three ingredients for a wholesome weekend where we'll connect with different communities across the Netherlands, learn and grow in practice, all surrounded by a beautiful lake just 15 minutes from Schiphol. With workshops at various skill levels and four expert teachers to guide you, we'll transform this island into an Acro Paradise for the weekend!

Join us for a summer weekend in July on our beautiful island, open to everyone regardless of skill level, age, or gender. With seven workshop sessions, plenty of time to play and rest, we'll create the perfect environment for connecting with yourself and others in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

The retreat features seven 2-hour workshop sessions with 4 different teachers, 3 teacher-guided jam sessions, a Cacao and therapeutics session, and dancing around the campfire. All classes accommodate both beginners and advanced Acro yogis.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the accommodation options?

Choose between Glamping in a spacious bell tent with two single beds or camping with your own tent.

Can I choose to stay in an Airbnb outside the Island?

No, we can't provide daily boat transportation. This option is only possible if you have your own boat to reach the island.

If I choose Glamping, do I need to bring my own camping gear?

No, your tent comes fully equipped with a bed, mattress, blanket, and pillow. Just bring bedsheets and a towel for showering.

Can I choose whom I share a Glamping tent with?

Yes, let us know your preference and we'll arrange tent sharing accordingly.

Can I book a private room/tent?

Glamping tents are typically shared between two people. We may offer private tents for an extra fee depending on participant numbers—we'll confirm this the week before the retreat. For guaranteed private accommodation, choose the camping option and bring your own tent.

If I choose Camping, do I need to bring my own camping gear?

Yes, camping participants need to bring their own tent and all necessary sleeping gear.

Can I come if I'm a beginner in AcroYoga?

Absolutely! While classes target intermediate/advanced practitioners, our teachers will help adapt techniques for beginners.

Do I need to come with a partner?

No, you'll make friends during the retreat. We typically work in groups of 3 or 4 during workshops.

What is the general level of the workshops?

We expect mostly Intermediate/Advanced participants and will adapt to the group's level. With four teachers, everyone will find appropriate challenges. Since AcroYoga depends heavily on working with others, bringing a partner of similar skill level can help meet specific training goals.

Can I join for just a day?

No, this is a 4-day retreat focused on group dynamics. The island location also makes daily transportation impractical.

Is the food included?

Yes, enjoy three freshly prepared vegan meals daily!

What if I have an allergy or diet restriction?

Note any dietary requirements in your registration form, and our kitchen will accommodate them.

Why is there a difference in price?

We want to make the retreat accessible to our community while covering our costs. We offer two price points and trust participants to choose based on their means.

What is included in the price?

All meals, accommodation, transportation between Schiphol and the island, workshops, and classes.

How can I get to the Island?

Drive to the free church parking lot, walk 3 minutes to the lake, and take a 5-minute boat ride to the island. We'll coordinate rideshares from Schiphol airport for those using public transportation.

Is this a children friendly retreat?

While we love children, this event and its workshops aren't suitable for kids.

Can I bring my pet?

No, the island cannot accommodate pets.

What is the cancellation policy?
