Vegan Yoga Retreat
Koksijde - Belgium 29 July - 3 August, 2025
Koksijde is a town on the coast of the province of West Flanders (Belgium) with a long beach that connects different villages and nature reserves in the region.
The yoga intensive takes place in a former 12th century farmhouse which has been transformed into a spacious yoga studio.
You can book your place on the Iyengar yoga intensive with everything organised, including two vegan meals per day and accommodation at Villa Horizon, or if you prefer you can arrange your own food and accommodation.

* For beginners (less than 2 years experience in Iyengar yoga) there will be daily double asana sessions. For experienced practitioners in addition to the double asana session there will also be pranayama in the morning.
Accommodation
Villa Horizon is a cozy holiday home located in a quiet area 850 m from the beach. The house has 5 bedrooms with double beds which can be used as single rooms as well as for couples. There are 4 bathrooms and 4 restrooms, lounge, kitchen, as well as outdoor table, entertainment area and jacuzzi, which is located on the south-facing terrace.
The distance between the practice room and Villa Horizon is about 3.8 km, which can be done by public transport or walking, however, I would recommend renting a bicycle to move around independently and get to know the area which is flat and pleasant for cyclists.
If you prefer to find your own accommodation, Koksijde has a wide range of hotels, B & B’s and campsites.
