Embodiment of the ELEMENTS

Yoga retreat in Morocco




A very warm invitation to those that long to connect to their essential life flow and the expansive power in the universe.
Sink into the rhythms of nature while exploring the culture and experiences that Morocco has to offer.

A gorgeous piece of land planted with fruit trees, palm trees, exotic flowers and a vegetable garden, located at the foot of the Atlas mountains, this traditional RIAD will invite us to a continuous and profound contemplation. 

The surrounding countryside provides a backdrop for beautiful walks every day and the pool is available for those who enjoy swimming. The benches, deckchairs, umbrellas, and Moroccan zellij tile tables offer an authentic and local character to the terraces and places of relaxation. The magic of this wonderful site is enhanced by the changing light during the day and the clarity of the starry sky at night.



You are a sublime mirroring of the elements of the world. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether are the yogic elements that make up the Universe. 
Cherish your human connections! Treasure those splendid memories... that you are going to make! 

Retreat includes:
🌹 6 Days / 5 nights accommodation ~ the rooms are warmly decorated in moroccan style, with Berber futons on beautiful carpets and cushions.

🌹 3 Meals/day ~ the meals are prepared with local products and fresh bread is baked daily in a traditional earth oven. The Moroccan cuisine is a delight in itself. Meals are served on low tables (Berber style).

In the middle of NowHere

Yoga retreat in Iceland


A new adventure awaits!

Iceland is the land of pure nature and magic energy, making it an ideal place to slow down, be amazed, and recalibrate to oneself.

This trip is designed to give you a delicious taste of some of Iceland’s most extraordinary wonders, from the glaciers to the vibrant cozy village or to hot spring pools in the middle of nowhere. The goal is to connect as deeply as possible to nature and to the cultural core of this beautiful place. 

The mission of this retreat is to find your True North and connect with your deepest purpose, well-being, and inspiration. We will combine luminous yoga with incredible landscapes, local culture and nourishing food.

πŸ€ Clear skies, wide eyes... and LUCK! πŸ€
This is a great time of year to witness the dance of Northern Lights with the help of Mother Nature. 
First things first, the Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and cannot be perfectly predicted, even with the abundance of technology we now have at our disposal. It always ends as a game of luck and chance, but it is one that we all play with a great deal of excitement!
Let’s be wrapped up really warm and prepared to look up and absorb this powerful other-worldly experience.


Retreat includes:
5 days / 4 nights accommodation in a Boutique Hostel ~ a beautiful and historic place in the heart of the Golden Circle. The retreat environment is cozy and comfortable, with an atmosphere of simple elegance. Your bright, spacious room awaits you! Not to mention the comfortable bed.

3 meals/day [vegetarian + fish] ~ the menu draws inspiration from the original school that opened here in 1928. The restaurant has a fantastic view. While enjoying breakfast, you can watch the sun rise over the serene body of water. Enjoy traditional Icelandic cuisine in the dining room or have a coffee in the library.

Coffee & tea breaks are included in our stay.

Rye Bread Tour ~ experience the geothermal bakery first hand. See and taste some fresh bread baked by bubbling geysers in hot black sand. This bread from an old recipe is served hot from the ground with some butter... and it’s delicious!

Geothermal Baths ~ enjoy the healing powers of the natural steam baths. Hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring while the healthy water nourishes both body and soul. Bring your swimsuit! 

Yoga sessions: Yang mornings & Yin evenings - we gather just before the Spring Equinox, the perfect time for (re)balancing the body and the mind.

YOGA • REFLECTION • EXPRESSION

Retreat in Tuscany, Italy


A truly authentic Italian experience in the heart of Tuscany! πŸ’šπŸŒ±πŸ’š

Spend 5 days experiencing daily yoga practices, meditation, sacred ceremonies and movement guided from the wisdom within, holding space for all emotions.  Enjoy local vegetarian cuisine, nature, culture and more! 

On the magic lands that once belonged to the Roman Empire with its rich culture and cults of many imposing gods and especially goddesses and their temples, let's journey into our own culture and spirituality and see how the body & soul temple is honoured in our lives.

The retreat will be held at an ideal place to experience a holiday in Tuscany in one of the most characteristic farms immersed in nature among olive groves and vineyards, where food and good Tuscan wine reign supreme.

Be ready! To breathe deeply and feel your body while meditate, and open, connect, twist, invert, stretch and restore during the yoga classes. 
Be ready! To be moved from the wisdom within, to listen and surrender to your energies of love, in a safe and protected atmosphere during the circles and movement sessions. 

LA VITA E BELLA!!!
