The expert's opinion
The retreat is accessible to all, regardless of level or physical condition. Each activity offers options adapted to each person's pace, any pain they may have, or their physical abilities. Rest periods are always scheduled after the most intense workouts.
No activity is mandatory: everyone is free to participate as they wish, to rest at the apartment, to simply take time for themselves or to enjoy the visits and cultural discoveries of Brussels.
Yoga and Pilates classes follow a precise and unique method, combining balancing postures, breathwork, joint mobility, and concentration. This comprehensive approach creates a true balance between body and mind by bringing together several complementary practices.
The stay also includes tai chi sessions with a stick, as well as practices dedicated to mobility, flexibility, stretching and deep stretching, to loosen the body and release deep tensions.
In the evening, it's time to relax and let go with relaxing sound baths and Yin Yoga sessions with bolsters, designed to promote deep relaxation of the body and mind.
The hike, offered in the form of a forest bathing experience, is easy and accessible to all. It includes approximately one hour of walking each way, in the heart of a natural environment conducive to disconnecting and finding peace.

Welcome to our cozy space. From 2 pm, step inside the apartment and settle in at your own pace. Leave your suitcases and your thoughts behind, then gather around a snack for a first moment of sharing. Glances meet, smiles are exchanged: this is where first connections are made, in simplicity and kindness.
At 5:30 pm, it's time for yin yoga. Gentle postures, held for extended periods, invite the body to let go and promote deep relaxation. Breathing slows, tensions accumulated throughout the year are released, the body heals, and the mind finds peace.
Then comes the sound journey with the crystal bowl. With your eyes closed, you let yourself be carried away by its pure and enveloping vibrations, which resonate throughout the body.
A gentle first day to relax the body that has carried all year, to soothe the mind and, above all, to ground yourself from day one.

Then departure in a private van for a great forest bath, an immersion in the heart of nature to walk, breathe, ground oneself and welcome the new year.
Along the paths, movement becomes meditation, the forest invites calm and each step opens a space to leave behind what belongs to the past year… and make room for what is to come.
Back to the apartment to share a big brunch, then free time all afternoon to explore Brussels at your own pace, stroll, discover or simply enjoy a few more hours together.
Departure until 5:30pm towards your respective destinations, with a new breath, a new energy and a new grounding.
One last interlude to close this stay, to take away a little of this sweetness… and to set off again towards the new year, with an open heart and a light spirit.
Day 4
Note
This end-of-year break was conceived as a true period of transition: slowing down, releasing the tensions accumulated over the months, taking care of oneself, and leaving behind what no longer needs to be carried. A few days to breathe, reconnect with one's body, and embark on the new year with renewed energy, more purpose, and a sense of grounding.
The program is offered in its entirety, but each participant is free to choose which activities to choose according to their preferences and energy level. Free time also allows for relaxing at the apartment, enjoying some personal time, or exploring Brussels.
The large forest bathing experience will be adapted according to the weather, in order to preserve the comfort and quality of this immersion in nature.
It is possible to arrive one night before the start of your stay or to extend your stay by one night after it begins, with a small supplement for accommodation and meals. This option must be requested after booking.
A Kobido massage of the face, neck and scalp can also be booked as an option, to extend this relaxing break.
A private WhatsApp group will bring participants together before the stay to share useful information, prepare for your arrival and start building relationships before meeting up.
An invitation to slow down, breathe, reconnect with yourself… and enter the new year with a fresh start.
