Amsterdam Tulip Festival Yoga and Cycling Week

Days here are built around a mix of yoga and getting out into Amsterdam. Mornings start with yoga and meditation, then breakfast at the farmhouse, then the group heads out. The agenda lists biking through flower farms and beergardens, a sunset boat ride, a tulip field meditation and photoshoot, a garden picnic and yoga at Vondelpark, Yoga Nidra for deep sleep, the Van Gogh Museum and the Heineken Brewery Tour. Evenings include nights out, the Red Light District and the city's 420 coffee shops.

What separates this from a standard yoga week is the timing and the setting. It runs during Amsterdam's Tulip Festival, so the bike rides go past working flower farms in bloom, and the meditation session happens in a tulip field rather than a studio. The accommodation is a rustic boho farmhouse outside downtown, which means you get a jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, fireplace and zen garden instead of a city hotel room.

Danika Ervin leads the yoga. She teaches yin, power, vinyasa and sculpt, and holds additional certifications in Stress & Trauma Aware Yoga, Yoga Nidra, FRC Mobility and as a Sound Healer. She has taught since 2018, with a focus on strengthening postures through mindful movement and on relaxing the nervous system. Expect a mix of stronger vinyasa and sculpt work alongside slower yin and Yoga Nidra sessions.

Amsterdam itself is compact and flat, which is why the week leans on bikes. The city sits on 62 miles of canals, with cobbled streets and tree-lined bike paths, and it is known for its spring flower displays, art museums and parks. The Vondelpark picnic and yoga session uses one of the city's best-known green spaces.

The group is small enough that the schedule stays flexible, and the pricing is all-in apart from flights, drinks and a few meals, so there is little to organise once you arrive. Transport throughout the retreat is included.
