Fluid Body : A Yoga & Meditation Retreat

This retreat is an invitation to explore your inner fluidity, soften into the present moment, and move through life with greater openness and ease.

Here, yoga, embodiment, meditation, and contemplative practices are woven together with bodywork, ritual, and ceremony to create a deeply inward journey. Guided by the element of water, the experience encourages emotional freedom, flow, and a more natural way of being. Sound and touch will also be part of the immersion, supporting release, deep rest, and a sense of harmony across the subtle layers of self.

Fluid Body offers a week of beauty, serenity, and spaciousness, with time to reconnect to nature and rediscover a softer, more fluid state of being.

Morning Offering:

Mornings begin with a blend of meditation, pranayama, and asana. Drawing from traditional Yoga principles, Eva’s lineages, and an embodied approach to practice, these classes carry a more Yang quality: energizing breathwork, sweaty asana, and movement inspired by multiple modalities.

Evening Offering:

Evenings unfold with Yin-style classes, guided meditation, restorative movement, and somatic practices designed to calm the nervous system.

TEACHER'S NOTE

This retreat is an invitation to recognize that the medicine we need to transform our lives already lives within us. It offers a safe healing space where community, connection, and celebration can bring us back to ourselves and help us make new friends.

By slowing down and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature, we align with the beauty of the present moment. It is a week devoted to joy, reflection, rest, and abundant self-love.
