About this Retreat
Danielle is curious, adventurous, and a free spirit. She loves inspiring others and creating space for them to feel at home in their own skin.
Yoga has guided Danielle’s life for over a decade — not simply as movement, but as a path inward. Trained in traditional ashrams in Kerala and Maharashtra and returning regularly to India, she teaches authentic Hatha Yoga thoughtfully adapted for modern life. She is an experienced practitioner of sound healing, having trained with multiple teachers and integrating this practice into her sessions to support deeper relaxation and transformation.
Before dedicating herself fully to this path, Danielle spent years in the corporate world, working with international brands and global teams. This experience refined her sense of structure, clarity, and leadership — qualities she now weaves into her offerings to create intentional spaces where depth and direction coexist.
Having lived in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Russia, Alaska (USA), and Costa Rica, Danielle carries an international perspective shaped by cultural exchange and curiosity. Riding motorbikes and exploring new landscapes became another expression of her love for freedom and self-trust. Today, she lives between Düsseldorf, Germany, and Burgas, Bulgaria, creating soulful spaces where women can slow down, reconnect, and return home to themselves.
Masha is a woman: happy, fulfilled, and in love with life. A wife and a mother of two beautiful children.
Yoga has shaped Masha’s life for over a decade — not simply as a practice, but as a path of deep transformation. After years of personal practice, she felt a calling to go deeper and traveled to India, spending time in the sacred town of Rishikesh. There, she completed multiple yoga teacher trainings and deepened her understanding of yoga as a living, embodied practice.
Alongside yoga, Masha is an experienced practitioner of holistic health, exploring nutrition, self-healing, and non-medical approaches to restoring balance. She is a certified Health Coach and integrates modalities such as women’s circles, aromatherapy, sound healing, and art therapy to create deeply embodied and transformative retreat experiences.
Born in Ukraine, Masha has traveled to more than 75 countries, connecting with people from many cultures and bringing openness, curiosity, and a global perspective into her work. She loves creating soulful spaces where women can pause, explore, and reconnect with themselves. Today, she lives by the sea in Bulgaria, designing retreats that help women slow down, remember their inner strength, and return to their own light.
