About Miriam
What role does yoga play in your life?
Yoga is, for me, a lived practice - far beyond the mat. It’s a way of moving through the world: consciously, connected, and with an inner alignment that keeps bringing me back to myself. The physical practice is an entry point, but not the goal. It’s my way of grounding and opening again and again. Not to become someone else, but to come closer, layer by layer, to what is already there.
What do you hope to share with your students in your yoga classes?
I want to offer more than just movement. I want to create spaces that feel real - without performance, without pressure, but with depth. My classes are an invitation not to optimize the body, but to listen to it.
The practice can be challenging, but above all it should create awareness. Between strength and softness, something very authentic emerges. If my students leave the space with greater awareness - for themselves, their breath, and the way they move through life - then everything I wish to share is already there.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
Clarity meets feeling. Discipline meets devotion. I believe in a practice that does not divide, but connects - body and mind, inner and outer, movement and stillness. It’s not about perfection, but about presence.
And perhaps above all, it’s about learning to feel again. Because that is where true connection begins - with ourselves and with the world we live in. My philosophy brings together a clear, strong practice with an inner attitude of compassion, mindfulness, and devotion.

Our next Retreats
Thais de la Paz will guide you through three days of relaxing yoga sessions, combining yoga practices with meditation and breathing techniques to bring greater well-being and clarity. Each session is dedicated to one element - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. In this way, we draw upon the healing qualities of the elements and find inspiration for our yoga and meditation practice, cultivating balance in both body and mind.
Yoga can have a profound impact on many levels of our being. While stretches and asanas keep the body supple, pranayama and meditation help the mind find peace. Thais will guide you toward a deeper dimension of yourself, enriching your life experience in many ways. Enjoy a retreat that will leave you re-energized and full of new perspectives.

As nature turns inward and the light softens, this retreat invites you to gather the growth of the past seasons and return to your center. Nestled in the serene landscape of South Tyrol, Harvest Your Fruit is an invitation to pause, reflect, and realign with your inner rhythm.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the transition from late summer to autumn is connected to the Earth and Metal elements - symbolizing grounding, integrity, and the gentle release of what is no longer needed. Taking a moment to pause and harvest the fruits of your efforts throughout the year.
Through intuitive Vinyasa, nourishing Yin Yoga, meridian-based Acupressure and Crystal Soundbaths, you’ll be guided into deeper presence. Supported by healing food, mountain air, and stillness - this is your time to root down, soften, and gather what truly sustains you.

Take a conscious break from everyday life and discover what it feels like when movement, rest, and clarity return to balance. This retreat invites you to step back and reconnect with yourself.
Intentional Living means not only organizing life, but consciously shaping it - feeling what your body needs, using your energy mindfully, and creating space for rest, clarity, and new perspectives.
Look forward to a balanced combination of powerful and regenerative movement sessions, mindful bodywork, breathing practices, meditation, and impulses from neuro-mental training and coaching. The practice combines yoga, functional movement, and fascia work with conscious breathing and mental reflection.
At the heart of the retreat is intention-based movement. Instead of focusing on performance or perfection, the aim is to consciously perceive the body, build strength, improve mobility, and release tension. At the same time, calming evening practices help regulate the nervous system and allow deep relaxation. Step by step, this creates a sense of stability, lightness, and clarity - both physically and mentally.
