Hatha Yoga, Mantra Meditation & Soulfood
With a lot of gratitude in my heart for the Yoga Practice, I am organizing this retreat; a space to receive the wonderful gifts that are waiting for us. I share authentic ancient tools that I have gathered on my own spiritual life path for the past 30 years. In our togetherness, we will practice Hatha Yoga & Mantra Meditation (no experience needed and a lot of experience welcome) as ways of being and connecting to our inner wisdom, rather than forms to achieve. From this inner knowing, we can live in the world with more passion, direction, and compassion. So it doesn’t matter what it looks or sounds like it matters what it feels like.
Feel welcome to be. Where love whispers in your heart.
We are all joyful light beings having a human experience. Let’s enjoy the journey of life in the best way we can.
Be like a tree: Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural beauty. Keep on growing

Schedule
We start in the late afternoon of October 16 with a welcoming ceremony followed by dinner. The retreat ends on October 20 after our morning practice, brunch, corona-proof hugs, and farewells.
On the 17th, 18th, and 19th of October we meet in the morning with Hatha Yoga: this is a preparation process practice of Yoga. The word “ha” means sun, “ta” means moon. “Hatha” means Yoga to bring balance between the sun and the moon or the light and the dark or the female and the male in you. You can explore Hatha Yoga in ways that take you beyond certain limitations, but fundamentally, it is a physical preparation – preparing the body for a higher possibility, to recognize your own true nature.
In the afternoon we will dive into mantra meditation, The most mantras we chant are in Sanskrit – a sacred language of ancient India. In Sanskrit, ‘man’ means ‘mind’ and ‘tra’ means ‘to free from’, so ‘mantra’ is literally a tool to free the mind. For Mantra Meditation you don’t need to have a beautiful singing voice. All unique voices are equally beautiful and if it gives you more joy to just listen in silence that’s also good.
The mornings are followed by a vegetarian brunch and the afternoons are kept free for you to explore whatever gives you joy. We meet again in the late afternoons for more practice and our evening vegetarian dinner.
Yoga is a mirror to look at ourselves from within.
