Rooted in curiosity, joy, and soft power, we hold space with a balance of gentleness and challenge, always honouring the uniqueness of each individual’s journey. Our core mission is to support people in living their truth with courage and self-love.

Kaula Tantra Yoga The retreat is built around our core practice: Kaula Tantra Yoga. This is a 2.5-hour, yoga sequence that comes from an ancient lineage and is based on the teachings of Bhagavan Shanmuka Anantha Natha. Different to other styles of yoga, this series is practiced in a slow and flowing manner to build patience and awareness. Each asana is held gently for a period of time to allow you to relax into the posture. This way, you can find your own unique way of expressing the asanas without pressure of competing or ‘performing perfectly’. Tantra Yoga facilitators approach students as whole human beings and discourage ‘isolating’ or forcing muscles. Their priority is to hold a space of acceptance and love, with only little guidance where necessary. Our yoga practice is gentle and accessible for everybody – no prior yoga experience required. At the same time, this practice might open a new dimension of yoga for you, even if you have years of experience. And even if the length of the series might intimidate you: The practice is open for all level of fitness. ⟣──⟢ ⧟ ⟐ ⧟ ⟣──⟢ Breathwork In this retreat, we will place a special focus on working with our breath – and we will breathe together every day. While shorter practices may contain breath meditations, pranayama, and relaxation and resourcing exercises, two longer sessions are based on the Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System (BBTRS). During a BBTRS session, we will guide you into an experience of deep connection to your body and exploration of your feelings by using conscious connected breath, movement, sound, and touch. The intention is to support your body’s natural process for releasing mental, emotional, and physical blockages stored in the body – opening the way for feelings of aliveness, self love, and deep relaxation. Throughout the session, you are invited and supported to stay present and connected to your body and felt sense. Through this embodiment, emotional charge can lose its intensity, empowering you to consciously feel what is alive in you, with love and acceptance. Through this, we access our innate power for healing and transformation. ⟣──⟢ ⧟ ⟐ ⧟ ⟣──⟢ Breathwork and Kaula Tantra Yoga will be complemented with the following practices: Meditation: We practice active meditations, using movement, our voice and/or visualization to dive deep into a meditative state. Cacao Ceremony: In this ritual space, we will connect to the medicine of raw cacao. Cacao has a heart-opening quality and thus supports us in connecting more deeply to ourselves and the group. When we dive into dance, breathwork, or nature immersion from that space, we can fully explore the magic of the moment. Forum and Talking Stick: We will use these communication tools where suitable to support the group process - allowing us to show ourselves fully, with everything that is alive in the present moment. Nature Connection: Nature is our ultimate teacher, and it is always around us, in us; it is in connection with nature that we experience the magic of life in a very tangible way. Singing Circle: By sharing songs in a circle, we invite joy, we celebrate life, and we connect to our inner vibration. We will explore songs and mantras from different traditions. Dance: We love to dance. It is one of the best ways we know to connect to our aliveness. Be it to warm up before yoga, or to celebrate life together. No worries if you “cannot dance” – this is simply about intuitively moving your body in any way that feels good. Partner Yoga: In this practice, we will support each other to dive deeper into relaxation during parts of the Kaula Tantra Yoga series – by assisting deep stretches and holding space. This is a playful, fun space, and at the same time might be one of the most relaxing experiences you ever had. ⟣──⟢ ⧟ ⟐ ⧟ ⟣──⟢ We will flow with the weather and the group to define exactly when each part of the retreat happens.
