One Day Prenatal Retreat
This One Day Retreat is an ode to all mothers to be. As we prepare to bring new life into this world, our body changes and so do we. Pregnancy is a unique state of being that undeniably transforms us.
Whether this is your first, second or fifth child – this retreat aims to provide the space for you to fully experience the magnitude of becoming a mother and everything that entails for you. A space where you can connect with yourself, your little one and other pregnant women, share stories and experiences, and move your body in a safe and nourishing way. A space where you take a step back from the endless baby prep to-do-lists and should- and shouldn’ts, to experience what is alive inside of your heart.
Expect a nurturing prenatal yoga session, Ayurvedic and Yogic self-care practices for during and after birth, breathing techniques to relax your nervous system, reflective journaling exercise and restorative meditation at a gorgeous retreat space nestled in the forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

About Livia
Hi, I’m Livia Benders – owner of One Day Retreats and also currently pregnant of a little boy.
15 years ago, I first stepped on a mat and it has become my home ever since. I have a curious mind, a love for exploring new worlds and a deep desire to bring about more connection in this world.
In 2020 I got certified to share my love for yoga. In the past years I’ve been teaching strong Vinyasa flows, restorative Yin yoga classes in my private practice and at Studio Bondi and Inner Embassy in The Hague. In 2021 I founded Flow Home Retreats and began facilitating holistic retreats in Tuscany. After discovering the healing power of the breath, I completing my breathwork teacher training in 2023 and started hosting breathwork circles and retreats.
Throughout my own pregnancy I started to teach pre- and postnatal yoga and fell in love with working with women in this special time of their lives. Throughout my pregnancy I would have loved to go on a prenatal retreat – but I haven’t been able to find one that resonates, so I decided to create it myself. I have been lucky enough to share my own prenatal journey with some incredible women in a monthly women’s circle – something I wish every mother-to-be could experience. The recognition, the community support, the shared laughs and tears made moving through this transitional phase so much easier. With this retreat I aim to facilitate just that.
