Devotie Academy

Devotie Academy is a personal yoga and coaching programme for self love and happiness. The unique effectiveness lies in the focus on the interplay between body, mind and soul. The guidance programme includes one full year of classes in yoga & meditation, mindset coaching sessions and healing massage.

It is important to take your time for a meaningful change in you way of thinking. Otherwise the result will be superficial or short lived. Nothing is more frustrating than having made an effort to feel lighter for nothing, because you have not come to the root of your imbalance.

When you are willing to work with me for a full year, a durable result comes within reach that you will benefit from for a lifetime. You can apply for Devotie Academy during the whole year, as long as there are spots available.

Components of the programme

Yoga classes

The weekly yoga classes are on Sunday mornings. You can choose (as long as there are spots available) between the class of 10.15 to 11.15 or the class of 11.30 to 12.30.

I am loyal to an authentic form of yoga, as developed in ancient India. The yoga revolves around healing and (self) love. This yoga does not resemble the physical styles of yoga. You do not have to have experience with yoga nor do you need a flexible body. Come as you are!

Workshops

As a Devotie Academy participant, you follow five yoga and meditation workshops throughout your year. The workshops take four hours and take place on Saturdays between 14.00 and 18.00.

In the workshops we can come to the root of the thoughts that disturb your peace and make them dissolve, freeing you of them. On the agenda for the workshops are mind inquiry and meditation, training of the mind, healing of emotions and deepening the yoga postures.

Mindset coaching sessions

The standard frequency of the mindset coaching sessions are once every two months. The conversations are scheduled after the yoga classes on Sundays, so from 12.30 to 13.00.

The inquiry of your thinking mind as taught in yoga, continues in our one-on-one mindset coaching sessions. Here I will give you practical tools to make your world lighter and to release unwanted feelings or patterns.

Healing massage

Three massages are included in the Devotie Academy programme, on Sundays from 09.00 to 10.00. Afterwards you hop on your mat for your weekly yoga class.

The massages are relaxing and they have a healing and purifying effect. If you would like to remain fully dressed, this is not a problem, the massage can easily be done while you are wearing a thin layer of clothing.

There are no shortcuts to happiness!

What others say about me

Sam has a very nice touch while correcting the yoga postures that makes you relax. A class from her is calm, soothing and makes you peaceful and quiet.

Ran

Sam speaks from her light and thus touches the light part in you. During the classes Sam offers space to enter into your emotions instead of following the tendency of resisting emotions. This creates space for the recognition of light and love in yourself. Sam feels it all and guides you well in your process.

Carolien

Sam is a wonderful person, an attentive listener and tremendously loving. She has an open mind and heart and guides the mind inquiry to make you think lovingly about yourself as well. Therefore, you will be able to get a lot out of the coaching sessions with Sam.

Dina

The yoga class starts with a meditation, in which her beautiful choice of words is so purely loving that a part of you is addressed that responds immediately and finds recognition in her words. Sam shows you thoroughly how to do the yoga postures and explains what calls for attention when you take on the postures yourself. She corrects your posture as well, so that you experience the transition from fear to love yourself. In short, Sam’s yoga classes and workshops are truly magical.

Lois

Sam’s yoga classes have helped me a lot during an emotionally rough patch in my life. Through targeted and slowing exercises, anger and fear slowly but surely gave way to silence and love. Sam is a very caring connector who really takes the time to give personal attention and instructions. I would really recommend taking Sam’s yoga classes if you feel the need to quiet down and feel attentively.
