Strong Body Open Heart Clear Mind
Treat yourself to one week of invigorating, rejuvenating, and transformative journey to strengthen your body, open your heart, and clear your mind.
The Experience
Treat yourself to one week of invigorating, rejuvenating, and transformative journey to strengthen your body, open your heart, and clear your mind.
To strengthen your body, you will be practicing an energizing yoga routine each morning aimed at grounding you, revitalizing your organs, building core strength while improving your body coordination, flexibility, as well as a sense of balance.
To open your heart, you will be engaging in an evening meditation and/or simple breathing exercises with a goal to clean your lungs, calm down your nervous system, and release stress in order to create a space for connection and openness.
To clear your mind, not only will you improve your concentration and focus through breathing exercises while finding inner balance through meditation, but you will also have a chance to participate in optional after-lunch discussions on a topic about self-transformation in accordance with Yoga Philosophy supplemented by the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience.
In addition, you will benefit from being close to nature, to the sea, and to like-minded individuals who share your interests and values.

BERLIN YOGA CONFERENCE
WHAT DID THEY TELL ABOUT ANASTASIA
“I have participated in several workshops with Anastasia including back bending, arm balances, and the Berlin Yoga Conference. Anastasia takes personal time with each student to help him/her better understand their body and develop greater respect for themselves and their practice. Anastasia is a joy to work with and I hope that she will do more workshops and retreats in the future.”
Sarah, USA
Anastasia is an amazing Yoga teacher. She has the skill to teach ancient yoga knowledge and make it easy to understand for the modern person. She is sensitive to what the group can do and at the same time push it to do great yoga training
Esbjörn, Sweden
In my 1-to-1 yoga sessions with Anastasia I felt as if she understood very well the limits and capacities of my body and hence enabled me to develop the sweet spot between soothing and challenging. She has a profound gift of precision. Even after a year on the mat on my own my body still autocorrects remembering our sessions.
Charlotte, Germany
Anastasia has a remarkable set of teaching skills that she shares with her students with such passion. I was totally amazed with how she connected with every student in her class, and shared inspiring tips in her arm balance workshop. As a tall guy, I found these very helpful!
