MY RETREAT

Fluid Body will be a retreat dedicated to exploring our inner fluidity, embracing the ability to soften, and moving with greater openness in our lives.

Envision a space where yoga, embodiment, meditation, and contemplative practices seamlessly intertwine with bodywork, ritual, and ceremony, guiding you on a journey inwards.

Alongside the element of water, which will be our guide – inviting us to navigate our emotions with freedom and flow, reminding us of a more natural way of being – you’ll also be immersed in the resonance of sound and touch. This meditative experience will support the release of tension, invite deep rest, and help harmonize the subtle layers of the self.

Fluid Body is an invitation to rediscover our fluidity and flow, melt into the surrounding natural elements, and enjoy a week of beauty, serenity, and ease.

Morning Offering:

Each morning we’ll attune to the day with meditation, uplifting pranayama, and an energising Vinyasa Flow. Valery offers a modern, integrative approach – blending different teachings into a dynamic practice that builds strength, deepens awareness, and prepares you to meet the day with presence and ease.

Evening Offering:

Each evening, we’ll slow down with gentle, grounding practices to release the day and settle into stillness. Through a blend of Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, calming breathwork and sound elements, we’ll soothe the nervous system and create space for deep rest – unwinding softly as the sun sets.

Special offerings

Inner Waters: Meditation & Journaling Circle

A guided meditation and reflective writing practice centered around the water element. We’ll explore themes of flow, surrender, and emotional clarity, followed by a sharing circle for those who wish to speak from their inner stream. A quiet, meaningful space to deepen your personal journey.

Hands of Water: Touch & Flow Workshop

An introduction to Zen Thai Shiatsu principles through the lens of fluidity. In this guided partner-based session, we’ll explore simple, flowing touch techniques that restore movement and balance in the body. No experience needed – just openness and presence. Leave with a feeling of connection, softness, and support.

Fullmoon Yin & Sound Ceremony

Under the soft light of the moon, we’ll gather for a nourishing Yin Yoga session infused with restorative touch and sound. Expect deep stillness, oceanic breath, and the resonance of bowls and other instruments to carry you into a dreamlike state. A moment to release, reflect, and receive.

TEACHER’S NOTE

This retreat is about understanding that we hold the medicine we need in order to transform our lives. It will be a safe healing space that will bring us together in community in order to come back to ourselves, to make friends, and to celebrate existence. By slowing down and reconnecting to the rhythms of nature, we will align with the beauty of the present moment.

It is a week of cultivating joy, space to reflect, rest and abundant self-love.

EXTRA PRIVATE SERVICES:

For participants who would like to deepen the practices we share through the week, there is the option of having a massage and chinese medicine session
