Autumn Yoga Retreat

This is an invitation to immerse yourself in a peaceful setting and enriching functional yoga practice, connecting with your inner experience and unique anatomy. Guided by Ehud Neuhaus, it’s a chance to slow down and explore your practice in a playful, introspective way.

Connecting Voices

Together we open and close a space where we can explore our voices with singing in circle. Every moment I tune into what rainbow or medicine song wants to be played next and the group co-creates this journey of melody sea. 🌊

Tantric Polarity dance

A partner dance. One leads, while the other surrenders to the dance blindfolded. Let your breath, your body and the music guide you.
