Yogalap Pranayama Retreat

Yogalap founder Michaël Bijker has been improving the mental and physical well-being of tens of thousands of people around the world from all genders, backgrounds, and walks of life . Michaël is one of the world's leading voices in Pranayama and Breathwork and over 120.000 students from 191 countries have enrolled in his online courses, which has been life-changing for many of them. Michaël traveled the world for over a decade to deepen his study and practice in the power of mind and body focusing on Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Pranayama, QiGong, and other ancient methods. He developed a set of integrated techniques to cultivate that ‘Light Within’, to awaken your inner wisdom and realize your full potential. Michaël's teachings are inspired by the masters he studied with, by Life, and by the wisdom that flows from being connected with one’s true source. Everyone has a great power within to observe, heal and manifest. Michaël has felt a connection with that source since he started his spiritual journey at the age of 14. Four years later he was able to heal and recover from a devastating car crash due to the powerful methods of QiGong and Yoga, and the Grace of God. Medical professionals considered this recovery almost impossible. Since then, Michaël has dedicated his life to helping others learn those powerful techniques. By designing and offering transformational courses and inspiring retreats to everyone, Michaël has been able to share wonderful techniques that awaken the full potential that is inside all of us.
