Details of this retreat

This women's yoga and mindfulness retreat invites you to pause, reconnect, and heal through yoga, mindfulness, and community. Our retreats are designed to nurture the body, quiet the mind, and awaken the heart, offering a blend of dynamic movement, stillness, and deep rest. Set in the beautiful mountain village of Schweibenalp, I invite you to slow down, rediscover inner balance, and cultivate lasting well-being. I believe in the power of healing in community—when women come together with intention, we support each other’s growth and renewal. Whether you're seeking clarity, strength, or self-care, this retreat offers a sacred space to come home to yourself.
