Yoga & Meditation Enlighten
To keep the body in good health is a duty…otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear – Buddha
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in ancient India. First codified by the sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras around 400 C.E, the practice was in fact handed down from teacher to student long before this text arose. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to yoke,” or “to unite”. The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness. The ultimate experience of yoga is liberation from suffering because in improves mental health, helps stress relief, it may reduce anxiety and improves the quality of life.
Meditation is a practice of mindfulness, or focusing on a particular object, thought, or activity to train attention and awareness. There’s no correct and wrong way to meditate. That’s because meditation can take many different forms to experience the formless state of being. Many studies show nowadays the immense benefits of meditation such as decreasing symptoms of anxiety or depression, improving ability to think, concentrate and solve problems and better ability to adapt to and overcome emotions.
Yoga & Meditation Variety
At Navutu Dreams, you have the opportunity to learn humble practices of yoga such as: Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, Restorative Reiki, Shamanic Yoga as well Meditation classes.
Hatha Flow Yoga
Hatha Yoga is the foundation of all other styles of yoga. It is translated as Ha meaning “sun” and Tha meaning “moon,” bringing together and balancing the sun and moon properties within each of us (masculine and feminine). “Hatha” can also translate as “willfull”. Therefore, the practice cultivates strength, flexibility and a focused mind. This class focuses on alignment for the different body types, as well as balancing effort and relaxation. And by bringing awareness to the breath, we create mindfulness in each pose. This class is perfect for beginners yet still challenging enough for those who already have an established practice.
Stretch & Release
A relaxing slow-paced class that combines elements of yoga, barre and dance stretches on meditative and healing sounds. The perfect evening practice on the mat to unwind and release tension build up during the day. This class allows you to find stillness in guided stretches using breath to find deepening and relaxation at the same time. Leave the class feeling looser in your body and calm in your mind.

Flow & Grow

Yoga Instructors Navutu Dreams
Yvonne
My name is Yvonne and I have a true passion for helping others awaken to living a life of balance. After spending most of my career leading customer experience and strategic teams for large corporations, in 2017 I experienced deep depression. As I realized I was living to work vs working to live, I began to wake up and break free from the monotony of work, sleep, drink, eat, repeat.
I moved closer to work, regained 3 hours a day, and embarked on a journey of personal growth. With more time and energy devoted to my personal passions, I expanded my self-expression practice of yoga and meditation to include reiki energy healing, mindfulness coaching, NLP, acting, drums, and visual arts.
Tonneel
My name is Tonneel, born and raised in a country rich in diversity, the rainbow nation – South Africa.
I am deeply in tune with the fact that life is a gift and to live each day with gratitude. This drives my sense of purpose in life, to experience it fully and practice living it mindfully.
Coming from a background of trauma, my personal life experiences led me, and continue to do so, towards my life passions and career choices.
Choosing to learn and understand more about human behaviour, I applied myself to psychology and criminology studies, and received training in yoga and massage therapy. I left home to get beyond the story narrative and embark on a journey exploring alternative healing methods.
I’ve lived, travelled and worked in South East Asia, where I have worked with children and in the hospitality industry at health resorts. These experiences have truly opened up a deeper sense of knowing that we are all interconnected to the many dimensions in life and feel honoured to have met many on the journey of self-discovery, all sharing their truths and wisdom which have all brought me to a deeper understanding of who I am.
Children are excellent teachers. Seeing the world through the lenses of a child’s eyes, they remind one to connect with our own inner child, express our feelings and to live in the present, but above all to be curious and full of joy, and bring this playful energy into daily life.
In SEA I was introduced to different styles of yoga such as Ashtanga, yin and Hatha, discovered and practiced forms of breath work and Vipassana meditation, EFT – Tapping (emotional freedom technique), psychosomatic trauma therapy and learnt new things in the health and wellness industry such as detox and fasting.
Every day is an opportunity for me to learn and expand my knowledge in energy medicine and therapy. I am currently working with a mentor, completing a course called – Crossing the Thresholds of Power: Activating Radical transformation with Kali, Ayahuasca and Sekhmet to help with my own inner – standing and reprogramming of the workings of the mind and body, to deconstruct old belief systems, to revaluate and reconstruct the roles of feminine and masculine energies. In time to come I will continue to advance my training in other areas of interest.
I am a firm believer in putting goodness into the world for the better, by making well-ness accessible to others and sharing my knowledge and skills set, empowering people from all walks in life on their own journey of health and transformation.
Evelyn
With a curiosity in healing practices and Eastern philospohy Evelyn’s journey began with yoga. A devoted practice spanning many years inspired her to study in India.
Through deeper exploration of a holistic approach to her own health she discovered the transformative effects of Qigong. She became a Yuan Qigong teacher in 2016 and has since taught regular classes and workshops, continuing her studies through retreats and in person and online training.
Evelyn is also passionate about the healing effects of Sound. Beginning with chanting mantra and Kirtan, she experienced the ability of intentional and devotional use of sound to restore balance and uplift the spirit. Her first sound bath with Himalayan singing bowls had a profound impact on her sense of wellbeing and clarity of thought. Her desire to dive deeper into this healing modality took her to Vietnam and Nepal for specialised training and she continues to expand her knowledge and skills.
Evelyn loves holding space for others to also learn and experience the positive and uplifting benefits of Qigong and Sound Healing.
Tommy
Upon attending my first yoga class in 2006 in Budapest (my long time home), I felt the benefits deeply. After 25 chaotic years of working in marketing, I felt dissatisfied with my life; l have decided to shift away from having a packed schedule toward leading a more balanced, simpler, slower existence and focusing on just being happy. I craved a change and moved to Thailand in 2018 where my focus shifted to yoga, and my practice became a central component of my everyday life.
I am still on this journey: I am working hard on being happier and healthier, sometimes more successfully, sometimes less, but I am deeply thankful to have found yoga, as the more I practice, the more I understand the world. At times, I have truly no idea what is going on around me, yet it is actually in these moments which yoga helps stabilize me the most. I now appreciate that I don’t have to know and I don’t have to understand everything. I am trying to think less about who I am supposed to be and more about who I really am.
I completed my yoga teacher training in May 2023 in Rishikesh, India. I am enthusiastic about both sharing my personal experiences and learning from others about yoga, healthy living, and life! As a teacher, my greatest joy comes at the end of a practice when I see real change on the participants’ faces, with tension released, minds slowed down, and bodies experiencing the deepest sense of calm and inner peace.
