The soul

explore the wild terrain of the soul

Are you looking to reconnect with yourself, gain new energy and create space for more creativity, growth and awareness? Away from the stresses of daily life, we dive deep into what truly empowers you and rediscover your true nature.

This retreat will be the perfect opportunity to take a step back and experience the enchanting wilderness of the magical island of Ibiza. Join me for 5 days and 6 nights in a luxurious 400-year-old authentic finca. 

Amid stunning natural beauty, we embark on a nurturing, loving and healing experience for the body, mind and soul. We journey to a deeper level of self – discovery through the power of movement, breath-work, mediation, music, shared wisdom and attunement with nature. 

Something wonderful always happens when people meet at heart level. We will bond as a group in an open and supportive environment as we explore ways to connect to our bodies and mind and better understand ourselves.

Are you ready to find the magic inside?

With love Saskia

Saskia is passionate about helping people rediscover their authentic selves and connect with their inner source. Her gentle, welcoming and open spirit sets the tone for every practice. She loves all kinds of movement, body and breathwork and honors the time to go within. Each of her creative yoga, meditation and breathwork sessions offers something different to experience and explore, using storytelling, movement, alignment, poetry and humor to awaken the body, mind and soul.

What others say

I participated in the Soul Journey Retreat in Ibiza in 2022. You should be prepared to get much more than a normal yoga retreat :). Saskia is a great teacher. She created a wonderful atmosphere and safe space from the beginning, so everyone felt comfortable and could surrender to everything. She also brought many people who live on the island to do ceremonies or other activities with us like a hike and sound healing session. This sharing of knowledge and working things out together as a team was just great! Also, we were really on a soul journey! Saskia prepared a booklet and each day was based on the Kosas (layers of the mind) so there was a continuous journey throughout the retreat. She is also a liquid breath teacher, which brings a whole new experience. If you want to experience yoga to the fullest, along with great people and a great teacher, you should definitely attend one of Saskia’s retreats.

“I just returned from an un forgettable Alignment retreat at Mallorca. It surpassed all expectations. The yoga and breathwork sessions put you in a ‘flow’ that connects with your intuition. I found myself becoming more aware of the subtler aspects of life, beyond ordinary rational thinking. Saskia’s guidance and techniques helped me to broaden my perception and to connect with my body and feelings. This retreat was a deep dive into self-awareness, new friendship and natural beauty. If you are looking for a way to recharge, reconnect and broaden your horizons this retreat on enchanting Mallorca is exactly what you need”

“Saskia is an intuitive, grounded and nurturing teacher who effortlessly guides you through a conscious flow. She gently inspires you to explore the limits of your practice while offering encouragement and support with perfectly timed and meaningful prompts. She exudes a natural ease and grace in her movements and instructions and I feel completely physically, emotionally and spiritually satisfied at the end of every class. Her retreats will leave you feeling connected, inspired and rejuvenated.”

“For me Saskia’s classes and lessons at the chakra journey retreat in Colombia are much more than a space to practice asanas. It’s a space to heal. The stories she tells make sense to the practice and leave you with life lessons for your daily life. It doesn’t matter if you have practiced yoga before, everyone is welcome. I feel more quiet, more conscious and ready to recognize my feelings and my inner strength.”
