21 - 27 JUNE 2026
led by Nadia & Martina
IN CREATIVE RHYTHM
A Yoga and Art Retreat
A one-week movement and art retreat designed to awaken inspiration, spark fresh ideas, and reconnect you with your own creative rhythm.
Not inspiration as pressure, and not creativity as performance but the kind that feels playful, embodied, and naturally expressive.
Across the week you will move, create, explore and reflect. Expect Dynamic Vinyasa and Mandala Flow sessions to energise the body and open perspective. These are paired with creative workshops, sound sessions, and a guided hypnosis experience designed to deepen clarity and unlock new ideas.
This retreat invites you to step out of routine and into flow — where movement meets making, and imagination meets presence.
It’s for people who want to feel inspired, energised and creatively alive. Without overthinking. Without forcing.
MEET THE TEACHERS
-
MARTINA
Martina is a yoga and breathwork teacher originally from Switzerland. Her practice is rooted in the intelligence of the body and the potential of movement.
With over 700 hours of training in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and Breathwork, her classes balance strength and mindful presence. Her background in emergency care give her a deep understanding of the nervous system and allow her to create spaces that feel both energizing and safe. Raised in a family of travelers and surrounded by artists and musicians, she developed a sensitivity to different cultures, rhythm, and the subtle dialogue between sounds, breath and movement.
She carries with her the memory of her Italian nonna, who dedicated her life to sewing and cooking — working with colors, textures, and care — a spirit she rediscovers today in Sri Lanka, through the island’s vibrant tones, handmade traditions, and intentional pace of life.
-
NADIA
Nadia is a yoga teacher, sound healer, photographer, and hypnosis facilitator from Spain, based in Berlin. Her work lives at the intersection of movement, sound, and visual creativity.
With over 1,200 hours of training across Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Jivamukti and Yin, she creates immersive experiences that blend embodied practice with music, voice, imagery and subconscious exploration. Her sessions invite participants to access quieter mental states where imagination becomes more vivid and new perspectives can emerge.
Alongside her teaching, photography plays a central role in her creative expression — capturing presence, texture and emotion. Through sound, hypnosis and movement, Nadia opens spaces where inner vision, creativity and expression can unfold naturally.
WHY MARTINA & NADIA TOGETHER
Martina and Nadia met during a yoga training in Rishikesh, India, several years ago, where they discovered a shared vision of one day creating a retreat together in Sri Lanka — a place that inspires both of their life.
Nadia’s work weaves together yoga, sound, and guided hypnosis. Through sound journeys, harmonium, and subconscious exploration, she creates spaces where the mind can soften, imagination can expand, and new clarity can emerge.
Martina’s teaching is rooted in body awareness and breath, expressed through practices that awaken energy while cultivating presence and balance. Her dynamic vinyasa and mandala flow classes help participants feel energized, uplifted, and ready to see their body and practice from a fresh perspective.
Together, they will guide you through movement, breath, and creative workshops into one inspirational experience, including traditional batik with local artisans — connecting inner exploration with hands-on creation.
