A retreat for foodies and nature lovers. Join me August 20-25, 2024 in Yviers, France in the French countryside east of Bordeaux.

It is not hard to see how the exquisite lights and colors of southern French countryside so captivated Vincent Van Gogh as to inspire some of his most well-known work. Nestled among bucolic farmlands, sunflower fields, award-winning vineyards, and the River Dronne - there could hardly be a better location for a yoga retreat to truly get away from it all. This is my third retreat in Yviers, France (near Bordeaux), in the heart of the French countryside.

Enjoy twice daily yoga classes - a powerful, dynamic traditional Jivamukti class in the morning and quiet, long, slow, deep and stretchy sessions in the evening. Enjoy meditation and quiet time in the wide open spaces of the retreat center, among fields of maize and sunflowers.

The surroundings are cozy, with a bit of luxury. Sink into a big cozy bed with Egyptian cotton sheets and wake up with the sunlight streaming in through your window bathed in the sound of -silence- . Spend the daytime lazing around the retreat center, a gorgeous converted stone barn situated in what used to be a cognac-making estate, or rent a horse to gallop along the open fields and streams, drive to the local award-winning vineyards, or grab a bike and explore the local area. Swimming holes galore! We will feast on 2 delicious (and nutritious) farm-fresh, local meals each day lovingly prepared by the owners, who happen to be award-winning restaurateurs. We will have a brunch following morning yoga and an early dinner following the evening session. They cook both healthy plant-based versions of French foods as well as international delights . They love to cook and feed so anything is game. :) I could easily say this is the best food I have ever offered on retreat. Ever.

In an effort to teach and work in an environmentally friendly-way, I have chosen this location as it is accessible via train from Paris - it is under 3 hours to the nearest train station at Chalais, where the retreat center can pick you up. Flying is of course also an option, with the nearest airport at Bordeaux. I will help coordinate airport transfers to the center for a fee. Easy peasy. :)

If you have extra time, traveling around this area is delight for all your senses. I consider southern France one of the most exquisite and uncomparable spots in Europe, replete with stone castles and cottages, wineries, lavender fields and some of the best ecotourism around. I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

Cost 565e for shared room and half board PLUS Yoga fee 425e. Single fee: 150e add on

*cost includes 5 nights accommodation, 2 delicious meals from award-winning chefs, and all yoga, pranayama and meditation sessions

*cost does not include flights or airport transfers, however I am happy to help advise on flight timings and coordinate transfers from Bordeaux airport for a very reasonable fee.

My second week in Greece brings us to the famous (but still non-touristy) Blue Zone island of Ikaria, Greece. Lonely Planet said it best, “if Greek islands were humans, then magical Ikaria would be the weirdest and most charismatic.” Explore its wild terrain, dramatic forested gorges, thermal springs, rocky moonscapes and hidden beaches with crystal clear aquamarine waters. Combine this with the joie de vivre of the local people whose active lifestyle and diet high in wild, local veggies, herbs, grains and local animal products helped designate the island a Blue Zone, where 1 in 3 people live over 90!

We will stay at Kerame Hotel in clean, modern rooms with sea views and an outdoor practice area. The hotel is less than 1 km from the port of Ikaria, making it an ideal spot to explore the nature and villages of this small island. Enjoy yoga in the mornings and evenings before meals, leaving the day free to explore the islands thermal springs, beaches and caves , visit the traditional stone villages settlements or take in a traditional festival with the local wine and violins playing the Ikariotiko, entertaining the people until sunrise of the sun. A visit to Ikaria integrates you into its rhythms and the way of life of its inhabitants, making its visitors forget the stress and speed of daily life. And maybe even bring some of that spirit back home. :)

Price: 336e for single and 438e for double including 6 nights with breakfast PLUS 490e + VAT for yoga/admin fee.

Getting there: There are daily flights from Athens to Ikaria and daily ferries from Athens, Mykonos , Samos and Syros. Please note that ferry schedule is not finalized by the Greek government until May , so additional ferries are added

Every year I teach in my favorite summer destination - Greece! I choose different islands as many people come with me annually. This year brings us to the gem (and capital of) the Cyclades. - Syros Island. It is finally getting a little buzz, but for many years this was a summer destination for Greeks, so it has a more authentic vibe. It is the cultural capital of the Cyclades and boasts neoclassical Venetian style architecture, brightly colored mansions converted into family homes or hotels and a distinctly cosmopolitan aura. This is such a classy and unique island, I picture myself retiring here. :)

We have a truly unique stay in Villa Maria Syros, a stunning mansion with 10 unique rooms each with it’s own bath. The owner Elisa is the islands well-known chef. She will prepare our welcome dinner and morning breakfasts, with the option of taking a Greek cooking lesson with her as well!

We will practice twice daily in the morning and evening in the villa or if whether permits, have a morning flow on Asteria beach platform.

Get lost in the windy white cobblestone streets, hike to the top of historic Ana Syros and see the panoramic view of the island and neighboring Cyclades. Feast at at the local tavernas or fancier gastronomie restaurants, swim in the chic Asteria beach in downtown Ermoupoli, take side trips to the stunning beaches of Kini, Galissas or Megas Gialos or Kini and explore the elegance and architecture of the small town Poseidonia..

Price for hotel varies, as each room is different and shared rooms are heavily discounted but range from 100-150e per night including breakfast. Welcome dinner is 30e. Contact me below and I can share which rooms are available and pricing

Yoga fee is 410 plus VAT.

Enjoy the sunny mountain town of Saint Lorenzo. South Tyrol in Northern Italy on this long weekend retreat May 2-5, 2024. We will stay at Saalerwirt Hotel, a 4 star family run hotel perched on a mountain top surrounded by evergreens. We will have morning and evening yoga folllowed by delicious vegetarian and non-veg Tyrolean delights on the outdoor deck (if whether permits) with mountain views..

In your free time join your friend or partner, or meet new yoga friends for a hike or bike ride in the gorgeous Dolomites, swim in lagoons or just chill at the hotel sauna and spa, or lay by the Nature pool. We have the option of having our yoga classes on an outdoor platform enveloped in a canopy of trees. Yoga classes include rigorous flows, alignment focus workshop-style break out times, yoga philosophy and asana focus, pranayama and meditation time.

The perfect escape to relax, renew and emerge back to “regular life” with renewed energy and enthusiasm for life. Price is 495e for single and 375e for double for accommodation and half board (large brunch and vegetarian 3 course dinner) AND 235e + VAT yoga fee. Space is limited, so do sign up!

I still have dreams of the first yoga retreat I taught with Angkor Wat temples in the backdrop. I am so happy to lead my own trip there ! Join me in 5 days in magical Siem Reap, the home of Angkor Wat, March 26-31st over Easter 2024. Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage Sight one of the world’s most important ancient monuments and once in a lifetime trip (or two if you are me!) Built in the 1100s, this gorgeous and inspiring temple complex was originally built to the Hindu gods but is now thought of as a Buddhist temple. It is the national symbol of Cambodia and holds great pride for the Khmer culture. The grandeur and beauty of the structure are nestled in the midst of the jungle, making it a true once in a lifetime sight to behold. The ancient kings of Cambodia competed to outdo each other in the size, scale, and symmetry of their building efforts, culminating in the world’s largest religious building, Angkor Wat.  See it’s gradeur. :)

I have reserved all 8 rooms in the hip boutique hotel Maison 557 in Wat Bo, ranked the 3rd hippest neighborhood in the world by TIME OUT magazine. If that’s your thing. Each of the 8 rooms is unique, ranging from a simple, modern Standard Single, to Deluxe Doubles with outdoor showers, to a Suite with private pool.

Most days we will have morning and evening yoga classes at our hotel. There will be one full 8 hour day where you have the opportunity for a guided tour of Angkor Wat . Other things you could do during your free afternoons: biking tours of the temples, a Cambodian cooking class with market visit, Budddhist Temple visit with water blessing and a sunrise temple tour.

Pricing: For 5 nights, room rates run from 280e for a Standard Single or Standard Double to 560e for a Suite with a Private Pool including breakfast. Contact me and I can tell you which rooms are still available. Yoga and admin fee is 550e plus VAT. The hotel or a private tour company I have worked with in the past can organize your all of your temple and tour needs. Most day long tours range from 35 to 45e.

Flights: The main hub of the region is Bangkok. You may find better flight options through Thailand. Both BKK and DMK airports in Bangkok have many daily flights into Siem Reap, Cambodia. It’s a long flight and you may want a few days before or after your time in the hustle and bustel of Siem Reap to rest.

Indulge in all-inclusive laid back island relaxation. Tropical living in Thailand, the country of smiles. A once in a lifetime experience. :)

​Join me and Lucia Yoga Retreat for a once in a lifetime tropical retreat in the magical island of Koh Lanta in the Krabi province of Thailand March 17-24, 2023. Koh Lanta is a delightfully exotic island, thanks to its remote location, pristine beaches and pleasant weather but not overrun with tourists and partiers. It’s known for coral-fringed beaches, mangroves, limestone outcrops and rainforests. The extended area is an archipelago in the southern region of Thailand's Krabi Province, of which Koh Lanta Yai, where you’ll be, is known as the chill island. Kind locals and unspoiled nature are main attractions. Misty mountains abound in some areas, especially down south, in the natural park which has caves and wildlife.

Choose between 4 daily yoga classes and workshops in the open-air lofted yoga shala to the soothing songs of happy tropical birds. At dusk, stroll down to the beach for sunset yoga overlooking the ocean. With all details arranged, take a boat trip and snorkel through the clear blue waters, get creative in a Thai cooking class and visit the jungle National Park. Bungalow accommodations are located around the swimming pool and within the garden. Take a mental pause or relax reading a book in one the hammocks on the meditation deck in the middle of the garden, with the yogic atmosphere of the resort.

Get ready to feel great in your skin this week! Savor sweet flavors of tropical fruits like mangos and tiny aromatic bananas. Feel vitality in your body as you eat clean Thai inspired California cuisine, let the humidity of the tropics soak into your muscles for ease of movement during your yoga practice, and take long walks down the beach with the warm water splashing over your feet. Hang out socializing with a smoothie or glass of champagne, lounging outside on pillows and inside in the air conditioned cocktail bar.

Pricing begins at 1690e for 7 nights accommodation, meals, 4 daily yoga classes to choose from, 3 excursions (a cooking lesson, snorkeling daytrip and island hiking tour. Come alone and make new friends or bring a friend or partner.

Looking to end the summer swimming in clear blue waters, eating dinner al fresco at a local taverna and spending the mornings and evenings practicing yoga in the outdoor shala? I go every year at least once to an off the beaten track location in Greece and this year takes us to Antiparos, a small Aegean island a short 10 minute boat ride from Paros. In Antiparos Island, you can explore the picturesque old town, seaside caves, whitewashed churches, a nearby archaeological island the island castle. Water sports abound - enjoy snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing and scuba diving , or plain old swimming.. :)

We will stay at the recommended Kournos Village in light-filled junior suites with private bathrooms, just a stones throw from the beach. And September is considered one of the best months as it is fairly free of tourists but offers a nice 25 to 28 degree weather.

We will enjoy morning and evening yoga in a covered outdoor spot with incredible sea views. Breakfast at the award winning hotel restaurant will follow. The rest of the day you can laze on the beach, go for a hike or an adventure on the small island.

Antiparos is a small island off the main island of Paros. Fly into Athens, Mykonos or Santorini and then take a ferry to the main island of Paros or take a short connecting flight into Paros. I recommend buying 2 separate flights if you choose to fly in as you will have the best prices and most options.. The Paros-Antiparos trip is a short trip which leaves every 30 minutes from 7 am to 11:30pm at the main port connecting to other Cycladic islands. Ask me if this is not clear and I can help. It’s not so complicated as it looks!

Join me in my collaboration with Lucia Yoga Retreats in Valencia on the Eastern Coast of Spain.

October 4-9, 2022 Hiking and Yoga Retreat in Andalusia, Spain

In my first cooperation with Lucia Yoga Retreats, I will co-lead a retreat in the beautiful Nature Reserve Retreat Center in Andalusia, Spain. About a 90 minute drive from either Seville or Malaga, the center is tucked away in Andalusia’s Parque Nacional. Deemed a Unesco Biosphere reserve since 1977 this land is one of the best places to hike in Southern Spain. The retreat center is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and is home to unique plants and animals and has a slightly tropical microclimate. Meditate and practice yoga in the morning and evening, explore serene hiking trails, cool off in one of the five outdoor swimming pools with views of the Sierra, taste local foods and finally sleep in luxury accommodations with the silence of the mountain. Schedule and deets are here. Pricing starts at 795e for room, board and yoga.

There are few places that I keep coming back to, especially in a country like Greece which is FILLED with stunning blue waters, picturesque white-washed buildings, tropical flowers blooming and sublime food. That said, Hydra is such a gem I decided to build my own retreat there. Join me for an intimate and relaxed retreat May 24-29, 2022. We will stay in one of two local stone homes and practice yoga twice daily (8am and 4:30pm) on the front terrace. After our morning lesson, we will enjoy a typical Greek breakfast of fruits, yoghurt, honey, muesli, coffee or tea. Lunch and dinner you can either join up with your yogi friends to go to one of the restaurants around town or use the kitchen to make something yourself. This is such a great island, and so easy to access all of the 15 or so restaurants, bakeries, shops and local beaches that I wanted us to be able to interact more with the town. May is the best time to visit, as the weather is warm but not too hot, and the Athenites are not yet on their summer holidays so the town is still quite empty. Please join for my maiden voyage to the magical island of Hydra. Price is 700 -900e per person for 5 nights, breakfast and yoga, depending on single versus shared room. There are usually 4 ferries per day from Athens, for easy same day flights.

There are few places that I keep coming back to, especially in a country like Greece which is FILLED with stunning blue waters, picturesque white-washed buildings, tropical flowers blooming and sublime food. That said, Hydra is such a gem I decided to build my own retreat there. Join me for an intimate and relaxed retreat May 17-22, 2022. We will stay in one of two local stone homes and practice yoga twice daily (8am and 4:30pm) in the gorgeous Greek tiled yoga room or on the front terrace weather permitting.

Align to Thrive is a 6 week healthy habits program that introduces you to the daily routines and self-care habits from Ayurveda in a supportive group setting. In our time together, we will focus on one daily habit per week: Ayurvedic nutrition, healthy eating guidelines, morning and evening routine, exercise and movement and meditation. The coaching aspect of the course will cover current behavioral science on habit change. In addition, you will learn Ayurvedic theory to supplement your weekly habit learnings - covering 5 element theory, 3 dosha theory, 20 gunas (pairs of opposites), 5 sheaths, Ayurvedic clock and how Ayurveda views time.

Our daily habits reflect how we feel about ourselves and our bodies. While in my program, you could experience sounder sleep, shed extra kilos, clear up your skin, experience better digestion and regular elimination and have greater energy and fitness. The benefits build as you practice them longer and longer over time.

Align to Thrive will teach you how to effectively implement changes into your daily routine. With each new habit, we focus on making small, incremental changes, particularly on newer or harder to implement habits. Changing our habits is rarely a knowledge issue. It is an implementation issue. Learn how with me and a cool group of new friends. People say one of the best things about the course is meeting new like-minded people who become friends on their journey to health and happiness. That is what we all want, isn’t it? :)

When: Sunday nights 5:30 to 7pm

Where: In person at my house in Glockenbachviertel in Munich + on Zoom, alternating weeks. Fully online is possible.

Cost: 450e or bring a friend and pay 750e for 2.
