About this Retreat
Ever since I came in contact with Ayurveda more than 8 years ago I have been on a deep dive into a yogic life, the search for truth and the path of healing. After completing a Hatha Yoga Training in India, I founded Sapana Yoga in 2015. My search led me to take many different trainings: Ayurveda, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa, Qi Gong, Functional Anatomy, Reiki, Akashic Records, Thai Massage, Restorative Aerial Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Transformational Facilitation, Vegan Nutrition and lately a Coaching Training. I call myself lucky to have met teachers in India, Sri Lanka, Bali, Thailand, Costa Rica, Argentina, Spain & Mexico who have helped me uncover my true nature, advance along my path, undertake deep transformation and live a life dedicated to yoga.
I started on the path of yoga 7 years ago with the aim to find balance and wellbeing. The more I practiced the more I wanted to know and that lead me to travel all over the world to try different yoga styles and practice with many teachers until I found the one that resonated with me: Jnana yoga, the path of knowledge. The method I practice is self-inquiry: mainly this is going deep into the “I am” sense in the search of our true nature.
I was introduced to self-inquiry by Mooji in India and recognized the truth in what he said immediately. After a year practicing every day I came upon Ramana Maharshi’s teachings and that clarified the path even more.
I have been in the search of truth from a very young age already and I can say that the path of yoga exposed that truth in a clear way, in a way that I could understand it, and that is what I would like to share with you.

The Self Enquiry approach at our Retreat is inspired by the core teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the most renowned Indian spiritual teachers of the 20th century. Through this practice, we invite you to explore your true self and gain insights into the nature of your being, helping you discover the source of inner peace and freedom.
Many of us live an active life, guided by an active & restless mind, in a world that is always moving and changing, a world with constant information and input, a world that makes it hard to find rest & inner peace.
In silence you realize how much energy dissipates in turning your focus outwards & that you do not depend on outside stimuli at all. In the stillness and silence you discover a whole new world within.
Shifting your attention away from the world, going within and retreating into silence, you can experience rest & inner peace.
While at first the mind can be wild and hard to be tamed, through proper guidance, self-enquiry & meditation it can be silenced as well. In this state of outer and inner silence you will discover the natural bliss of just being.
