Divine Yoga, Soothing Nature & Enriching Rituals Around The Olive Trees
A workshop with Anastasia Stoyannides & Yoga Bien Tempéré and guest teacher Kerstin Kussmaul
Divine Yoga, Soothing Nature & Enriching Rituals Around The Olive Trees
You will be aligned within a holistic experience of rejuvenation & renewal.
The intention is to motivate your mindset, recreate your body and surrender to the majesty of the Umbrian countryside.
Every day you will be exploring a blend of somatic practices.
Starting the day with empowering yoga sessions & mindful rituals. Enjoying walks in the woods, swimming to refreshing ponds in the afternoons, and gathering in mindful meditative cycles, around the fire place, in the early evenings.
What a bliss you will be experiencing! What a sanctuary of genuine selflove!
Weather permitted we will be dedicating in some days of this magical week time for olive harvesting and worshiping the majestic olive trees. Â The game changer of our retreating together.
A portal of deep connection to mother Earth, and a deep surrender to the wisdom of nature. Embraced by so much bliss, our senses promote smooth & authentic healing. Joyful encounters with like-minded people, and fun will be part of this journey. We will be celebrating quality time while being nourished by the serene of simple moments. Only gratitude to be in such a sublime environment.
If you are dreaming to embark on a transformative journey, experience silence without solitude, make friendships that might last for a lifetime, and practice an amazing yoga method, then come along with us.

Spots are limited and there is an interview process before entering this soulful retreat.
