Guidance and organization by Joyce Mol

My name is Joyce Mol. I am a Certified Breathwork & Yoga teacher. I have studied various forms of yoga. Yin, Vinyasa, Power Yoga. And also Certified SUP Yoga instructor. I focus mainly on the feminine energy and yin parts. Nourishing the goddess and feminine essence within you.

Since the end of April 2022, I live with my partner in Puy L’évêque in the Lot Department. Near the River Lot. In the past 5 years I have organized various workshops, events and retreats in the Netherlands from my studio Mind Events Factory. Including a weekend retreat in Zeeland. A wonderful experience to bring people to deep relaxation and tranquility in a few days.

The South of France is my new home. But also the place where I can really go Back to Nature myself. The surrounding is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. A perfect spot to reset yourself and take time to recharge.

I am excited to guide you here in a week full of relaxation, adventure and more what you desire. Breathwork, yoga & sound healing in nature by the water and possibly even on the water. Lots of free time to do what makes you happy. Get away from the hustle and bustle and the rat race in your home town.

During this week I will guide you daily in relaxing practices, the environment and delicious healthy food. Which I also enjoy immensely.

    Dear Joyce, thank you for your great lessons during the Retreat weekend in Zeeland. I got some nice YinYoga lessons from you. My first experience with the massage / connective tissue balls. It was sometimes intense, but afterwards very relaxed and nice. Your music was beautiful and you have knowledge and convey it well. You have inspired me and I would recommend your classes to everyone! Love, Samantha

    Samantha – De Reiki Coach

    I had the pleasure to attend few Breathwork sessions with Joyce. It has been truly helpful for me to take the control over my breath and to find some headspace in midst of a stressful day. I learned some new breathing techniques, which I will be able to use for myself, whenever I need throughout the day. Joyce has a very relaxing voice and guides you through the whole process, allowing you to disconnect and focus on the breath. I strongly recommend taking the time and find out by yourself how these techniques can be useful to you, too.

    Joyce has shown me that I can choose to step out of the mind energy; through the exercises I get harmony, suddenly I am everywhere in my body and I feel that my body and I are One. Because of the stretching comes a kind of pleasurable pain that drains the sadness.

    Joyce’s softness makes this grounding process possible, because her warmth and reliability takes me into the deep sea of my soul.
    I always look forward to the next lesson.

    Joyce introduced me to breathwork, wow, it’s really magical to be working on this and discover what it can do for and with you! During an exercise from the course I felt tingling throughout my body, I thought this was a very special experience. By breathing more consciously, vague complaints have disappeared. I’ve learned that going back to breathing is something you can always do and can bring you total peace of mind.
    Communication with Joyce is great, I could always contact her with questions and her guidance is top notch!
