SPANDA – THE PULSE OF LIFE

Yoga Retreat Between Movement, Stillness & Surrender

In the tantric tradition, SPANDA describes the subtle pulse and vibrant movement of life itself. This retreat invites you to become more aware of your own rhythm through movement, breath and stillness.

Powerful and gentle yoga flows alternate with Yin Yoga, Pranayama, meditation and intuitive movement. Strength meets surrender, activity meets stillness. Tantric-inspired impulses and small rituals complement the practice, creating space to pause, reflect and simply be present.

Suitable for all yoga levels. No previous knowledge of tantric philosophy is required.

Retreat Highlights
– Yoga Flows – powerful, gentle & flowing
– Yin Yoga – letting go, relaxation & body awareness
– Pranayama & Meditation – breath, presence & inner calm
– Intuitive Movement – discover your own rhythm
– Tantric-inspired impulses & rituals – inspiration for a mindful practice
– Me-Time – wellness, nature & regeneration
