Inspired by the Sustaining Resistance training at Ecodharma and followed there the training for trainers, we are bringing a shorter version of this course to the Netherlands. So you don’t have to travel far!
Geïnspireerd door de Sustaining Resistance training in Ecodharma (Spanje) en daar de training voor trainers gevolgd te hebben, brengen we nu een kortere variant naar Nederland. Je hoeft nu niet ver te reizen en heb de mogelijkheid om ook in het Nederlands te spreken.
