In the heart of winter, gift yourself a weekend of balance and renewal. With pilates, yoga, sound healing and creative practices, you’ll discover strength and rest in equal measure – leaving you grounded, energized and at home in yourself.

New year, true you - weekend retreat


Three days to move, rest and reconnect – just as you are.

  • Deep rest & release

    Sinking into yin, yoga nidra and sound healing, you’ll find a depth of rest that everyday life rarely allows. These practices calm the nervous system, release tension and create the space for your body and mind to restore themselves fully. A chance to simply breathe, be, and receive.

  • Guided strength

    Every body is different – and every practice adapts. With personal guidance and hands-on support, you’ll learn how to align safely and find your own edge. Some sessions are strong and energizing, others more gentle – together they create a flow that challenges you while respecting your body’s needs.

  • Togetherness — on your terms

    We’ll move, rest and share moments as a group, but always with the freedom to choose your own rhythm. Some practices invite laughter, play and a spark of creativity — opening an easy sense of connection with others. Join in, step back, or simply be — connection and solitude are equally welcome.

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for you if you’re longing for…

✨ Strength & energy – to feel more grounded in your body
and rediscover your own power.

✨ Deep rest – moments to slow down, breathe and
let your nervous system reset.

✨ Playful freedom – practices that invite curiosity, laughter
and the joy of not taking yourself too seriously.

✨ Connection – sharing experiences with others in a supportive space, while also having the freedom to take your own time whenever you need.

✨ A winter reset – stepping away from the noise of everyday life and starting the year with clarity, confidence and ease.

No previous experience is needed – just an open mind and the wish to spend a weekend nourishing yourself, body and soul.

What if I don’t know anyone?

Meet your guide – Alisa

Hi, I’m Alisa ! Yoga and pilates teacher, sound healing practitioner, and flower artist. My own journey into movement began from a place of feeling stuck, until yoga opened the door back to connection, creativity and strength. In my classes and retreats I love to mix grounding practices with playfulness and curiosity. Some sessions are powerful and energizing, others soft and deeply restorative, all designed to help you discover your own rhythm.

Outside the mat I explore creativity through flowers and improvisation, which both remind me of the same truth: life is richer when we allow ourselves to be present, open and a little playful.

This retreat is my invitation for you to experience the same – to reconnect with your body, rest deeply, and remember your strength in a supportive space.

Looking forward to meeting you and creating an unforgettable weekend together!
