Matlove

The postpartum class was truly wonderful. It was so helpful and such a warm supportive environment. You felt like you were among friends immediately. The calm atmosphere and delicious tea was always waiting, and unwound always arrive a few minutes early just to chat and catch up with Angelika. I highly recommend this class to anyone postpartum. ❤

Yoga at Matlove is a truly stimulating and changing experience. Angelika's personal approach is unique and she always makes sure everyone feels at home. The studio is small and intimate and there is a sense of community.
Angelika's professional knowledge, combined with her close attention, ensures that each lesson is challenging and meaningful for all levels.
I very much recommend yoga at Matlove; the lessons will stay with you long after you've left your mat.

Stepping into Angelika's yoga studio is like stepping into another world; a world of calm, cosiness, care, delicious teas, a super-zen space, and the warmest of welcomes. Not only that, but Angelika is a knowledgeable and highly-professional yoga teacher who incorporates energy work and beautiful music into her Yin/Yin & Yang classes in the most nourishing of ways. I particularly value the way Angelika invites you to set an intention for each class, or dedicate it to someone else - these thoughtful touches are part of what makes the classes so special. Much more than just yoga - more like a mini retreat. I always leave feeling as though my mind, body and spirit have been restored, and I am reconnected to myself, ready to face the outside world again!

While I have been practicing Yoga for a while (to mitigate the harmful effects of having a desk job) it’s only since I started attending Angelika’s lessons that I am making tangible progress! Gradually – but steadily – I am seeing my flexibility, balance and core strength improve. I especially appreciate the small, intimate group sizes – which enable Angelika to pay attention to and provide guidance for each student individually, the sense of community among the students as well as the frequent and varied workshops.

I have been going go Matlove almost since its opening and I loved it from the first moment. Classes are small (you receive the attention as if you were in a private class!) and there is always a cup of tea waiting for you before and after the lesson. The space itself is just lovely - and wonderfully clean!

Not only Angelika is an incredible yoga teacher - who will always guide you and make you feel very happy with your practice - but she has also been able to create a real community space in Den Haag. Every yoga class at Matlove becomes much more than just practicing, but also a moment to belong, share, and feel good with yourself. The atmosphere is always welcoming, warm, and truly recharging - as well as restoring when needed. Every class is really adjusted to the needs of the group!

I truly recommend it, I couldn't think of a better place to start as a beginner or to be challenged and grow as a more advanced yoga student! Matlove is really a special place :)

Super personal, cozy and so much more than a yoga-studio! Angelika provides a safe space to arrive, breathe, practise, connect, learn, grow, or to just be if you need it. Gentle, personal guidance and loads of experience, always grateful to have spend and hour (or more) on the mat here! Thank you Angelika, you rock! <3

Angelika is a wonderful person and experienced yoga teacher who gives a lot of personal attention during her classes. Everytime I've practiced yoga with her I feel recharged and balanced. So grateful that I stepped on the yoga mat at Matlove<3

So happy that Angelika opened her lovely small studio in my neighbourhood! Feels like home!
She is an amazing teacher, adapts her classes to everyones needs. I started with yin; Angelika learned me to feel my body and to breath again. Now attending also the more active classes, where she explains it well and helps you in the right pose.

Incredibly nice and professional yoga classes. Ms Hartmann always makes sure everyone is comfortable and gets to practice at their own pace, getting the best out of every student. Best quality-price ratio in town, classes are personalised with a maximum of 5 students per class. Became a regular instantly, 5/5.

Angelika offers her style of yoga so wonderful and with a lot of passion and love. I can feel it in every lesson 🤍Highly recommended 🧘‍♀

Yin yoga bij Angelika Hartmann is heerlijk. Het is dat ene uurtje in de week waarvan ik voel dat ik het nodig heb op het moment dat ik er ben. Ik ben op advies van de fysiotherapeut naar Matlove toegegaan omdat ik vrij forse rugklachten had.
Inmiddels loop ik een stuk beter en kijk ik veel blijer de wereld in. Haar persoonlijke aandacht is een zegen en het uurtje Yin yoga in de week is inmiddels onmisbaar in mijn leven.
Angelika houdt me letterlijk op de been!

Yin yoga with Angelika Hartmann is such a delight to do.
It's the one weekly hour that I feel I need, the very moment I'm there.
I went to Matlove with excessive back problems, taking the advice of my physiotherapist.
Nowadays I can walk much better than I did and I'm much happier.
Her personal attention is a blessing and I am always looking forward to my hour of Yin yoga.
Angelica is literally keeping me walking!

Ik gun iedereen zo’n fijne plek om yoga te doen! Ik begon met de postpartum lessen en ben gebleven voor de ashtanga en yinyang. Angelika’s kennis van yoga en van het vrouwelijke lichaam is echt van grote meerwaarde.

Elke week kijk ik weer uit naar mijn les. Vanwege de persoonlijke aandacht zijn de lessen passend voor beginners en gevorderden: er is altijd meer te leren!

Ik ben met 13 weken zwangerschap begonnen met twee keer per week de prenatal lessen te volgen en heb dit met veel plezier en energie tot 3 dagen voor mijn bevalling gedaan. De persoonlijke aandacht die Angelika tijdens haar lessen heeft voor haar leerlingen is ontzettend fijn. Ze past de inhoud van haar les ook aan op de behoeftes van haar studenten. In mijn geval nam ze iedere les de tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan een oefening ter preventie van mijn bekkenpijn. Door het volgen van de lessen kon ik tijdens mijn bevalling terugvallen op de ademhalingstechnieken die ze ons heeft aangeboden. Ik kijk er naar uit om straks wanneer ik weer mag sporten terug te komen voor de "gewone" yogalessen!

Angelika heeft mij reeds fantastisch begeleidt voorafgaand aan mijn zwangerschap in de Ashtanga lessen maar de meerwaarde van de juiste ademhaling werd mij extra duidelijk in de pre-natal klassen. Ik kan terugkijken op een hele fijne voorbereiding op de bevalling waarin ik waardevolle technieken, tips en trucs heb meegekregen, die er dan ook echt toe deden. Wat ben ik daar dankbaar voor!
In de postpartum groep was ruimte voor de verbinding van alle vrouwen met elkaar.
Inmiddels ben ik via een paar 'rustigere' yin-yang lessen terug op mijn oud Ashtanga- niveau.
Fijn om zo'n pareltje als mens en professioneel yogadocent om de hoek te hebben!
