A wonderful place! The yoga teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. Signing up and down through the app is very user-friendly. Besides yoga, you can also take various other interesting workshops or courses. Jelske is always available for questions. Highly recommended!

Nova Strada has been my regular place for yoga and spiritual development for a good 8 years now. They offer a wide variety of yoga classes, which is really great. Because of this, you can always find a class that suits you. And if you can't make it to your regular class one time, there is always the possibility to catch up and perhaps try another class. Jelske is a wonderful, warm, committed, and enthusiastic owner. She consistently manages to organize beautiful training sessions in various fields... I enjoy attending the beautiful, inspiring spiritual and MDB training sessions, which are very enriching for my spiritual development. I really love coming to this lovely, warm place where the energy is wonderful! I highly recommend coming to experience the atmosphere for yourself...

I've been going to this beautiful place for years for the wonderful yoga classes. With a wide selection of classes, there's always something that appeals to me. With the new studio coming soon, it's going to be even better.

What a beautiful, loving place, where I always feel welcome. Where there is room for nature, peace, simplicity, and reflection. I have attended several wonderful workshops/sessions at NovaStrada. And every time, I feel lighter afterwards and with more depth/insight into myself.

Beautiful location, they're moving to a new location on the same grounds soon, and they're working hard on it. I've been a loyal yogi for seven years. The classes are diverse; I prefer Margonda's power & play, but Heleen's relaxation yoga is also very enjoyable. Booking is easy. I look forward to it every week!

For almost 10 years, I have been enjoying very pleasant, varied, and high-quality yoga classes to my complete satisfaction. Beautiful location, amazing teacher. I feel at home there; it is small-scale, friendly, and accessible!

A wonderfully nice yoga center with well-trained yoga instructors. I am personally a big fan of the power yoga on Thursday mornings.

I attended a shamanic drum-making workshop. Upon arrival, there was no explanation. I personally find this important. A simple, class-like welcome, an explanation of the day and what we were going to do. That was missing. Respect for the animal's skin is also important. So, any explanation about the skins or how we were going to make this drum was missing. I just started doing something and had to watch how other participants did it and then try to imitate it. The facilitator, Robert, is a wonderful man, but he's not a mentor or someone who provides explanations, let alone addresses the spiritual side. I really needed this. Normally, making a drum is a process involving a trance journey, after which it becomes clear, for example, which animal the skin should be made from. Here, there were two skins ready, the origins of which were unknown, and I could choose from them. Robert walked from participant to participant without any real contact. He helped everyone, but the group was far too large for personal attention. I missed this. There was no lunch or break, so we worked from 11 to 5. I think it's important to take a break. The other participants experienced this as well. There were nuts, chocolate, and tea, which was nice! Towards the end, a bowl of soup arrived. I was already overstimulated and couldn't see the forest for the trees. Fortunately, the process of accepting help from the others was necessary for me, and thus the lesson of the day. The skin wasn't stretched properly over my drum; it was very short on one side and a large flap on the other. This is how it should be, but no explanation was given or checked. We did form a circle at the beginning and end, where we could state our intentions, which was nice. I sent an email with these points for improvement but didn't receive a response. That's not fair. It was a hefty price, and for that price, I expect expert and professional guidance, explanation, exposure of the spiritual side, and a short break with food. This wasn't the case. The drum turned out beautifully and is exactly as it is. Not everything has to be perfect, and I do my own rituals, so I'm happy with that. But I missed the depth and personal guidance (and email responses).

Owner's response

Hi Silvija,<br><br>Thank you for sharing your experience with this workshop, both in your previous email and here. I was very happy with your feedback and replied to your email immediately, in addition to the email I sent about it to the entire group. We understand your concerns completely; the day did indeed not go as I had hoped or expected.<br><br>As a Center, we regularly offer space to workshop providers that align with our objectives. However, because they essentially only rent the space from us, we don't always know in advance exactly how someone will deliver the workshop. In this case, I participated myself because I also wanted to make a drum. This makes me understand what you mean all the better. We have expressed our apologies for this, both to the group and to you personally. Roberto also indicated that anyone who is not satisfied with the result can contact him. He will then visit to ensure the drum sounds good.<br><br>I have translated your feedback and shared it with Roberto. We have taken this into account in our evaluation of the workshop and will certainly make different choices for the next time.<br><br>Fortunately, you also gave positive feedback in your email and said you're happy with the drum. I hope you enjoy it, despite your disappointment. And if not, please feel free to contact Roberto so he can help you.<br><br>If you'd like to respond to this further, you can always call or send a text. You can also email, but if our emails aren't reaching you, a text might be more convenient.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Jelske

Beautiful location for a yoga class; they have all the necessary supplies, including bolsters, blocks, blankets, and mats. We received a warm welcome and clear explanations. I'll definitely go back!

I recently had a Reiki session with Jelske. What a wonderful atmosphere. I'm impressed by the peace I experienced. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease thanks to her warm and friendly demeanor. The session itself was exceptionally relaxing. Thank you, Jelske, for this special experience. I'd love to come back!
