Wellness, how nature intended.

At Namaskar, we go back to the first principles.
We have created a bespoke blend of yoga, meditation, and other wellness practices within the wonders of Africa’s wilderness. Witness wildlife in their natural habitat while flowing through sun salutations and on our safari game drives. Then unwind with a full-body massage and a soak in our wood-fired hot tub, with a refreshing drink in hand.
 
Rooted in authentic South African culture, our retreats feature locally inspired cuisine, eco-conscious luxury accommodations, and personalised wellness journeys tailored to your goals.
 
Whether you seek deep relaxation, personal transformation, or connection with nature, we trust you will leave here feeling nurtured, refreshed and inspired.

"Spending two weeks on retreat with Hanneke was a grounding and transformative experience. I loved the balance between her energizing morning power sessions and the deep relaxation in the evenings.

 

Hanneke has a naturally calm presence and a wonderful sense of humor that makes you feel at ease instantly. Her gentle adjustments and touch during Savasana were the perfect finishing touch to every practice. I left the retreat feeling completely grounded and deeply relaxed.

 

A true heart-felt recommendation

MEET THE FOUNDER


​​
Yoga and meditation have been integral parts of my life for over a decade, serving as a navigation tool through self-discovery. While growing up in Africa has instilled a deep love for the bushveld and its wildlife. This has translated into a mission of crafting the perfect union of these two loves and sharing the experience with others.

My story involves leaving a career in corporate engineering to pursue my passion for teaching yoga and travelling. I have studied various styles of yoga in India and Cape Town, including Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin. I've been fortunate to teach at incredible retreats worldwide, each enriching my understanding of what it truly means to release and reconnect.
 
Now, I'm home, and my mission is to create transformative, eco-conscious experiences rooted in respect for nature and culture. Holding space where travellers can find stillness, reconnect, and rediscover a sense of wonder and well-being—all in luxurious comfort.

I am so excited to share this journey with you in finding peace in the heart of Africa!

If our minds are crowded with words & thoughts, there is no space for us.”
