slow down and simply be
the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of fresh bed linen, the smile of a stranger, a little note next to your bed. in our fast paced daily life, we often forget to see these little things, that make our life special and beautiful.
this yoga retreat creates space for you to be fully present and listen to the voice of your heart. when you slow down and let go of your to do’s - you open yourself up for more lightness, joy and freedom! enjoy a weekend filled with yoga, meditation, stillness, nature, journaling, delicious ayurvedic food and time to simply be - you deserve it <3
we will start every morning in silence to discover the magic of early mornings with all your senses. followed by a meditation, breathwork and activating vinyasa practice. in the afternoon I will guide you through a slow and gentle yin yoga practice to fully unwind.

““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!””
