your hosts - my mom and me ❤
I´m a certified 600h yoga teacher and completed my trainings on bali. Inspired by nature, I teach creative, embodied Flows and gentle Yin classes. My classes fuse different styles, where presence, movement and breath are the doorway to explore the inner self. I recently studied about ayurveda in India and love to share my knowledge with you. My soft personality and attention to detail creates space for all students to discover, connect and find stillness within. My classes will nourish your heart!
My mom Dagmar will create the most delicious meals for us, based on the ayurvedic principles. Look forward to nourishing food that makes your body and soul happy!! She can pick you up from the train station and will make sure that you have a blissful experience during the retreat. If you want to know anything about the surrounding area, she´s your guide ;)

testimonial
"Whether it was daily yoga, hiking through the mountains of Ticino or swimming in the Verzasca Valley. It was a gift for the soul in the midst of nature. My favorite part was the cacao ceremony, which was very heart-opening. The food prepared fresh every day by Carla's mother was amazing. An absolute recommendation!" - Daniela
