Nieke Franken and Dan Avidor
BUDOKON: The Warrior Yogi & Meditative live Music & Sounds
Antelope Ranch , Moshav Tzofar - Hey Sham Cabins
Nieke Franken was introduced to yoga in 2007, while she was teaching fitness related courses in gyms in Amsterdam.
It took her over a year to bring a regular practice into her routine, after she suffered severe spinal injury after jumping recklessly off a 23 meter cliff in Australia. The recovery was long but promising thanks to yoga.
She acknowledges that the path of a yogi is one of a life time (and beyond), and being a life time student is crucial. She has studied Hatha Yoga and is a registered level 2 Brahmani Yoga teacher (Embodied Vinyasa Flow) and Budokon Yoga & Mobility Ambassador.
Nieke returns to study with her teachers and other masters of movement on a yearly basis. She taught in Australia and India and is currently teaching both in Israel and The Netherlands. Israel is her home base, where she teaches full time in Tel Aviv since 2012.
“For me yoga is a means to heal and unite body, mind and spirit, so we can unite with ‘all that IS’. For this we first need to find our own personal practice and adjust and evolve it as we grow and evolve in our lifetime and as humans. I aim to embody thoughts, emotions, movement, nutrition, relationships and philosophy as one life . practice.
Dan Avidor has had a passion for music all his life. He started as a drummer and base player and formed a band with some friends at early age.
When marrying a yogi he discovered the power of meditation and healing through sounds. After a few years of collecting and learning to play instruments from the Far East, he started offering sound during yoga sessions. He has studied with Sheer Sofer in Israel and currently offers monthly sound baths at Naim studio in Tel Aviv and has a few private clients whom he helps eliminate physical and emotional pain though sound and vibration.
“For me music is the language of the universe, it can connect different cultures and people from all over the world. Sound is powerful. It can change our brains, and so it changes our bodies. In a meeting between two objects, a vibration is created. It is my mission to create positive and harmonious frequencies for people to enjoy and heal from. So I can do my share towards a more loving and peaceful world.”

Yoav graduated his bachelors in musicology, but extended his studies with eastern philosophy and the philosophy of Yoga.
“Our body is our instrument. Similar to a musical instrument, our body-mind has inner strings. For me, practicing Yoga is the continuous tuning of those inner strings, so that we can play our most balanced and natural sound. Each of us has our own unique instrument and only we can tune it and find our own accurate sound. I’m looking forward to experiencing your sound.”

After two years of practicing with Zipi I understood that yoga is an inseparable part of my life and I decided to go deeper. I started my Vedanta studies & yoga practice at the Sivananda yoga center in Tel Aviv. I was 13 years old. I grew up in this center and after few years did my first Yoga Teacher Training program with the Sivananda yoga Vedanta school.
Along with my yoga studies I developed a professional career as an international ballet dancer (Madrid, Zurich, TLV). My yoga practice supported me a lot in this field as well.
At the age of 16 I discovered Pilates☺️ I did my Pilates Teacher Training & specialized in Pilates for rehabilitation. I combine a lot of this knowledge in my yoga classes.
In addition to my practice I did my first BA in Tel Aviv university, majoring in East Asian studies, specializing in Indian philosophy. I combine a lot of this knowledge in my yoga classes as well.
With the years I had the privilege to meet Sri Dharma Mittra and open up to a new, different & very dynamic practice. I went through my second Yoga Teacher Training with him.
Few years ago I had the privilege to meet a dear man, wonderful teacher, an inspiration for life- Shimon Ben Avi. He was a direct student of Sri K Pattabhi Jois. I did my third teacher training with him, specializing in Ashtanga yoga and was his assistant in the following teacher training. In 2008 I was in the foundation team of “Pure Studios” in TLV where I managed the professional team of teachers & instructors in the studio.
As for today, I study in KPJAYI- the central Ashtanga yoga institute that was founded by the late Sri .K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore India. I’m staying there for few months each year, studying with Saraswathi and R. Sharath Jois. I'm giving yoga retreats, workshops and Teacher trainings around the world. I'm very happy to meet you:)

She learned that the view a person can observe while watching their own thoughts is fascinating. The greatest freedom one can find is by filtering their thoughts and choosing how to act accordingly.
Initially, Noga was devoted to the Iyengar yoga style, practicing and teaching in Israel, India and Australia. She loved the understandings of the body's systems while doing yoga asana, and how to adapt to various student's changing needs.
In 2009, when Noga moved with her family to live in Bali, Indonesia, she explored the practice, study and teachings of various styles - from fast, challenging vinyasa to the slow, deep yin style.
In her classes she combines those lineages, believing everybody can find his/her own yoga and develop a self practice with the proper personal guidance.
Noga will be visiting in Israel for two weeks only, between 26.10.2016 and 6.11.2016. She'll be teaching a few workshop as well as part of the full weekend of Yin in Yoga

Rafael Emanuel Ran - creative artist, musician and teacher of Kundalini Yoga. Wandering and exploring the inner regions of the soul, body, word and melody. Combines and connects worlds and methods with a healing musical practice that penetrates the heart.

This is how this combination came into being: “SeaYoga” – a space of health at the sea: Yoga on the pier, Yoga in the water, and Yoga on a stand-up paddle board (SUP), which in those days had only just arrived to Israel. At the time, it was a revolutionary vision. The Heart of the Sea Club company were impressed by my ideas and allowed me develop them professionally. The beginning was truly pioneering, both from my side and from the side of the people who came in and tried the experience. Today the group of students is growing steadily, and some of them have adopted the SUP Yoga and the sea as a permanent practice and a lifestyle. I’m happy to see SUP Yoga as a rapidly developing field in Israel and across the world, and as a bridge that connects people from the Yoga world to the water sports world, and vice versa. The combination of the two creates a magical practice experience.
My encounter with the teachings of beloved Ariella Orpaz from the Israeli Yoga Center introduced me to the mysteries of the Tibetan Heart Yoga, which brings the level of consciousness into the physical practice. I continued for the Yoga teacher training there, and realized how important it is to pass it forward to as many people as possible. That is what encourages me to teach, evolve and grow.
I am also an architect and a life coach by training. I am a wife and a mother of two, and I love the sea in all its manifestations.
These days I devote all my energy to propagate, illuminate and to bring Yoga and the sea closer to as many people as possible.

Shanee Habari Host Ayelet Ziv
Nourish... listen... balance
Arandal Ranch , Kibutz Yahel - Maayan Bamidbar
The encounter with Tibetan bowls, bells, drums and various instruments connected the world of music with the world of meditative movement. Through playing, singing, movement, Yoga and touch, I connected myself - the thread - that connects all these worlds by observing the intervals between them. I'm feeling, swaying, singing, diving, touching the human layers in front of me and making light out with him.
Ayelet Ziv Halpern: Yoga teacher and a graduate of the Wingate Institute. Medical Qigong Instructor, Rambam Medical Center. The owner of the studio "Et HaYoga" in Bat Hefer. Leader of the "Yoga at sunset in Emek Hefer", a project sponsored by the Regional Council. A yoga teacher in high school and middle school. The softness of the Vinyi Yoga stream, summarized in Dasikshar's trial: "Yoga should be adapted to man and not man to Yoga," along with the precision and seven principles of Vijnana Yoga, shape Ayelet's class and unite into harmony between body, mind and breathing. The medical chikong adds a meditative touch to the practice and allows us to expand the limits of flexibility and connection to ourselves, deepening our understanding of the Eastern worldview, in which the qi, prana, striving for balance occupy a central place. The exercises are suitable for practitioners of all streams and at all levels.
