Rest and Recharge accompanies you on your journey into deep inner peace – to a place where you can truly perceive yourself, clear your mind, and recharge your batteries. You can expect a mindful combination of active and quiet, restorative yoga sessions, complemented by somatic work, meditation, and coaching tools.
In the mornings, we will have a balancing and cleansing session of meditation, yoga, and somatic techniques. In the afternoons, a calm and regenerative practice awaits you. Depending on the group’s energy and needs it will be enriched with breathwork, coaching tools, somatic exercises, and meditations. Sophia uses yoga not only as a physical practice but as a holistic tool to harmonise the body–mind–soul system.
Outside of the sessions, you can create your own personal programme – from activities in nature to relaxation in the wellness area. Although the retreat has a central theme, it will evolve into an individual journey shaped by the energy of the group, the place, and the moment.
This way whatever disturbs your harmony – be it physical, emotional, mental, or energetic blockages – can dissolve. Energy can flow again, and we perceive this renewed flow as inner clarity, strength, balance, and vitality. This requires peace and time to work with body, breath, mind, and energy. Only when our nervous system feels safe can it relax, release, and realign. Sophia creates the space for this process during the retreat and guides you safely through it.
