Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul
August 22nd - August 25th, 2024 • Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
A retreat to engage in transformative yoga practices designed to evoke concentration and radiance, allowing you to explore the vast spaces within. It's not just a retreat; it's a haven to connect, swim, cook, dance, and dine in the company of like-minded souls yearning for shared experiences. Come, be a part of this rejuvenating escape.
Embark on a journey to the pristine nature of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, nestled near the serene Ostsee
A home away from home, where you have the time and space to embrace what you desire and let go of what is unnecessary. Through the practices of Vinyasa and Katonah Yoga, you'll delve into mediating your middle.
Every day presents an opportunity to explore the nearby lakes. If you prefer, take a scenic car ride to comb the farms and villages around. Alternatively, you can choose to stay on the farmland and immerse yourself in the gifts of nature. The choice is entirely yours!

NONNA - an idyllically situated farm with a large natural property not far from the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The name NONNA, Italian for grandmother, is not chosen by chance. It symbolizes a familial place where you feel sheltered and cared for.
A personal space where you can do whatever you desire. Whether it's rolling out you yoga mat, enjoying time in community, strolling through the beautiful nature, or simply turning your face to the sun and taking a deep breath.
Ria, known as the traveling soul chef, both a seasoned chef and a globetrotter, will treat us to an extensive array of fresh and nourishing meals to savor and recharge. Beyond her culinary expertise, she will also guide us in crafting pasta from scratch, culminating in a shared feast on our final Italian night.

Absolutely!!! This retreat is for all levels of yoga. No problem at all if you have never done yoga before – in fact what better way to begin.

Really anything you would take on vacation. A good book, something to yoga, lounge, swim and dance in. We have all the yoga props so no need to bring a mat unless you want to.
