Yoga Centrum Curacao

My friend and me took a yoga class during our stay in Curacao. Our navigation system lead us a bit wrong, but we found the place in the end. Yvonne practiced Hatha-yoga with us and it was a nice experience to practice yoga in the middle of a caribbean island :) Thank you for this class!!!!

It is amazing that this type of individual yoga retreat exists. Yvonne has two pleasant rooms for visiting yoga students to stay, adjacent to her spacious yoga studio. I was the only student staying at Yoga Centrum, and I do not think that this is unusual. On a couple of occasions one of Yvonnes regular students attended the morning yoga session, but for most of my week it was just Yvonne and me practicing yoga together in the morning and in the afternoon.Yvonne leads one through a gentle intelligent series of asanas in each of the sessions. But the emphasis is less on the physical aspect of the asanas themselves, and more on the kind of mind/body balance that a practice integrating asanas, pranayama and meditation can manifest. This is probably not the right yoga retreat for someone looking to master the next big impressive pose.A retreat at Yoga Centrum is more suited to the student who views a yoga practice as a vehicle for shedding the ego, than someone for whom yoga is yet another ego-based pursuit. The caveat here is that, assuming you are the only student, Yvonne can probably tailor your retreat to your interests. I learned as much from the time I spent with Yvonne off the mat, going for a walk to see turtles, or having tea after dinner, or watching birds in the garden, than I did during the yoga sessions themselves. This would not be possible at a typical yoga retreat with more students.It was hard to leave after a week spent with this lovely person (and three wonderful dogs). But even in this there was an opportunity for learning and practicing yoga in experiencing a sense of utter letting go.

If you're looking for a chance to stray from the touristy path on your visit to Curacao, I highly recommend yoga time with Yvonne. She picked my husband and me up at the cruise terminal and whisked us off to a tranquil beach for some good stretching and swimming. Yvonne is a wonderful instructor and the location was just beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, serene excursion. We wished we could have stayed longer!

Prepare yourself to discover the most amazing Yoga Centrum in Banda Abou. I'm a student of this Yoga Centrum for about four years and I'm still enjoying the way Yvonne, my yoga instructor, teaches me. She's a welcoming person, a wonderful teacher. At her Centrum you can enjoy the quietness and the peace of the nature. You'll also find some beaches not far from the Yoga Centrum where you can do some watersports as canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and swimming after finishing yoga lessons. What a great decision.

I am living in Curacao part of the year. When I am there I take my yoga classes at Yvonne's Yoga studio. It is very relaxing to be there, the surroundings are very peaceful. Yvonne is a welcoming person and a great teacher, and she tailors the classes to the need of each student.

We moved from the US to Curacao and lived on the island for three years. I had the opportunity to begin my yoga experience at Yoga Centrum with Yvonne. She is wonderful! And she was kind enough to teach the classes in English which really helped me understand the poses. I now have a love for yoga because of Yvonne!
