Visit Via Vacare to
- enjoy the art and profit of doing nothing
- stay on a peaceful quiet island with fantastic sunset and coral marine world
- exercise yoga and meditation with focus on the practice of the five Tibetans and it's benefits
“After the first shiatsu workshop I felt that shiatsu has an
immediate and positive affect on body and mind. For me, yoga and
shiatsu mutually support and inspire each other during practice. It is
an experience that I would like to bring to and have others participate
in as well. And it seems such a wonderful opportunity to give to the
Via Vacare guests at Gili Gede!”

"Zorah is my name and my passion is to really meet and learn about
myself and others, letting go and not keeping up. I live a happy life
with my husband Frank in the small city of Son in Holland and have a
nice practice house in my nice garden. Foot reflex massage belongs to
nature cure and stimulates the self healing abilities of the body. Also
it is very relaxing, I saw beautiful results.
At the moment I follow 4 year course at the academy for nature cure.
Bali and Lombok and The Gillis I have been before and enjoyed to be
there. Reading the website from Via Vacare, I felt immediately I love
to go there. To do the things that makes me happy and also have this
holiday feeling! So I am looking forward to offer my massage to Via
Vacare guests and contribute to this piece of paradis."
Yoga and shiatsu in Via Vacare by Marga Bijvoet in December
We welcome new guests from November 2008
on: we have still some places free for you in our world far from
Western civilisation.
Marga Bijvoet (born Oldenzaal, Netherlands) is a certified yoga teacher
and Iokai Shiatsu therapist. She teaches Hatha Yoga since 1998, and
studied among others at the well-known B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Institute in
Amsterdam. Marga Bijvoet studied art history at the University of
Groningen and obtained a PhD at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam
(Netherlands) with “Art as Inquiry” researching interdisciplinary
relationships in contemporary American and science.
She taught at various universities and art academies in Europe and the
United States, organized exhibitions, wrote essays and articles, and
worked as a translator.
A few years ago she decided to devote her life more fully to the
practice and teaching of yoga and shiatsu. She travels regularly to
India for yoga studies, and develops her shiatsu practice as a student
of Kazunori Sasaki.
Shiatsu massage as therapy works effectively to relieve a number
of physical problems. However it can just as successfully be practiced
to regain or maintain health, wellness and vitality. Just like yoga,
shiatsu supports and corrects the functioning of the muscles, tendons
and joints. In addition shiatsu positively affects the nervous system
and can enhance the functions of the organs. After shiatsu treatment,
the recipient generally feels very relaxed, free and light,
concentrated and balanced. Somebody once described shiatsu as “having
yoga done to you”. Yoga in this sense practiced, in turn inspires and
supports shiatsu.
The yoga lessons at Via Vacare will therefore focus on learning to
convert stress into relaxation via breathing exercises, asanas
(postures), and meditation techniques.
