Who is hosting this retreat?
Inge Van Tricht
Host and yoga teacher
Originally from Belgium, I moved to France in 2008. I wanted to get away from the busy and stressful lifestyle. It was there that my deep passion for yoga, breathing techniques and methods to calm body, mind and heart was born. We started "Le Meflatot", a peaceful B&B surrounded by beautiful nature.
In 2017 I received my diploma in hatha yoga with Randall O'Leary (Swara Yoga academy). In the same year I founded B'Zen Yoga, where I taught weekly yoga classes.
A year later, in 2018, I further specialized in Yin yoga with Jamie Clarke, founder of 'The Yoga People'. During the pandemic, I moved my classes online, so my students could experience relaxation and balance from the comfort of their home.
My life path led me to a silent retreat in Portugal under the guidance of the Buddhist Zen monk Hamid Ebadi.
I lost my heart to the enchanting Algarve and decided to settle here. Together with my partner I run Casa Monki, a warm and welcoming guesthouse and retreat center, where peace and well-being are central.
I want to provide you with the tools to recognize when you are experiencing stress, gain control over your fight-or-flight response, and return to a state of calm and balance.
Evi Bastiaensen
Nutritionist and Holistic Health Coach
My name is Evi Bastiaensen, born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium. After studying Speech Therapy and Audiology at the Catholic University of Leuven, I moved to 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, where I have been living happily since 2018 and feel connected to the peace and nature of this area.
At 17, I was confronted with a serious illness that doctors could not cure. This brought me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, where I discovered how nutrition, exercise, sleep and relaxation affect our health. This knowledge helped me overcome my illness.
Since then I have been working as a nutritionist and health coach. I give workshops on gut health, organized detox retreats and vitality workshops at the Conscious Academy and co-developed the company Inner Power On Tour, to support children and parents in mental resilience.
I currently work at Vitamasters, where I focus on preventive health within companies and I am involved in Mulsi, a project that makes it easier to bring healthy food into our kitchens.
With my experience and knowledge I want to help you take your health to the next level. This Vital Reset Retreat in Portugal offers the perfect opportunity to make a deep reset together, both physically and mentally, and I look forward to supporting you on your path to more energy, balance and well-being.
