About this Retreat
Alex has been practicing Vipassana Meditation for more than 12 years and Yoga for more than seven years. He has completed a 400h Hatha yoga teacher training in Germany. He also completed an additional Breathwork Teacher Training with Anthony from Alchemy of Breath, to deepen his knowledge in working with the breath and the body.
Alex’s yoga classes have a strong focus on breathing and body sensations. These classes are perfect to reconnect with ourselves, to help to stay present during the practice and in your life, and to feel alive.
Alex worked in hospitality for many years and as a chef in Germany, specializing in dishes for people with food allergies. His passion for healthy food is always part of the retreats.
Martina’s purpose in life is to share, support and give. Her intention is to empower people through breathwork and yoga so they can rise up and see their own purpose and truth.
She is a 400h Hatha yoga, 200h Synergy yoga, and 100h Yin yoga teacher. When she is teaching, she creates a safe and secret space that her students can find stillness in thematic yoga sequences to reconnect with their body, mind, and soul, and feel the balance between strengthening and relaxation with breathing awareness.
She invites her students into their own greatness, offering resources to manage daily life while having some fun along the way ;-). In 2017 she fell in love with Breathwork and began to discover conscious connected breath in her teacher training with Alchemy of Breath. For Martina, breathwork is one of the powerful tools where she experienced a massive shift in herself and saw happen in others. She realized the breathwork practice brings awareness to our life and the decisions we make. Awareness is the first step in CHANGE.
Details of this retreat
Do you have the call for a change? Would you like to let go of old patterns that hold you back from living the life you want? In this eight-day intensive breathwork retreat, Green Peace Inn Retreats will give you the opportunity in a safe space to face your emotions and feelings, which you may have avoided your whole life. You will learn how to let them go in love and to reconnect with your real power. You will take back 100% responsibility for your own life and meet your true self - the first step to a happy and self-determined life.
Daily we will practice breathwork, yoga, mantras, and affirmations to deepen the healing process in ourselves. Massages, healthy, tasty food, and an amazingly supportive group will help you to let go even more. Your breath will be your guide through this journey!
Discover yourself in the miraculous south of Sri Lanka. This Island is a magic place with beautiful green nature to find inner peace, to strengthen your body with yoga and to clear your mind and body with Breathwork. Sri Lanka is the home of Ayurveda, one of the oldest healing systems, which believes wellness depends on a balance between mind, body and spirit. This balance we will build up during the week and give you the space you need.
We will nourish you with healthy, vegan, plant-based food, all grown locally and if you like, get Ayurvedic treatments.
*Breathwork can be described as a portal and door to our internal and external worlds. In only one session, you can create space, expansion and opportunity for shifts, movement, insights, change, and the chance to come back to our bodies that hold us so dearly that work non-stop so that we may exist here and now.
