Welcome to The Golden Bottom
Our house has been called De Gulden Bodem since 1906. I live here with my family, and this is where I share the place I think is the most beautiful in the world.
The story of Hanna
Since my first Reformer Pilates class, I’m hooked — and by now I’ve built everything around it. Besides De Gulden Bodem, I also own Het Yogaschooltje in Wageningen.
Besides De Gulden Bodem, I am the owner of Het Yogaschooltje in Wageningen. Two places, one vision: moving, breathing, and relaxing in a way that suits you.
De Gulden Bodem is my home—literally. I live here with my family on this special estate that has carried this name since 1906. Every class, every retreat, every moment in the forest garden, I share the place that I think is the most beautiful in the world. You can feel it in everything.
“I wanted a place where you can let go of everything for a while and at the same time become stronger. Not bigger, not more commercial — but deeper, more personal.”
The Golden Bottom
since 1906
The De Gulden Bodem estate is located on Hartenseweg in Wageningen, on the edge of the city and the Veluwe. This house has carried the same name for over a century. The expansive forest garden with centuries-old trees, the barrel sauna nestled in the greenery, and the bright studio — everything exudes the history and tranquility of this special place.
From the garden gate, you can walk straight into the Veluwe. Nature here isn’t just an extra — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
