Elena's retreat will leave you not just sparkling, but glowing. This was my second time on the Norway retreat, and the magic is still in the air from the first one. This opportunity, this adventure, this group of people...it's like coming home to one's self. I'll never be able to say enough good thing about this retreat of the profound effect it will carry forward in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I loved the small group size and having 2 teachers, allowing for focus and improving my alignment, because now I see my postures are not the same as a trained eye!
The location, setting, teachers and other participants created the atmosphere of peace, reflection, self improvement and laughter.
I love your retreats Elena, and will always be on the lookout for more opportunities to join!
Thank you also to Maria, for your inspiration on how I can personally improve my alignment.
Thank you Elena for another beautiful retreat! All on point: room, food, staff, facilities are great.
The interplay of Elena and Karina, personality wise and yoga wise. Very nice and complementary.
Elena & Karina truly created some magic, held space and guided us so creatively, playfully and with experience. You two were a great team, keep it up!
Elena, your retreats allow to dive deep, to detach from the every day life at home but also to gain new tools to implement back home.
Thank you for your great work, for sharing your knowledge, your spark and your passion!
To many more retreats together!
Wonderful teacher! Patient, clear, calm, encouraging. Loved it!
Elena really listened to us and focused on areas we were concerned about so well.
It was a beautiful, restorative programme. Perfect balance throughout.
Lovely hotel. Gorgeous room. Fab brekkie! Very helpful staff.
It was my first ever retreat. Good for my heart, body and soul. I will be back!
The teacher has empathy & respect varying level in the class. Providing holistic practice (mind, body & soul). Location was beautiful, food amazing (indulgent but healthy), staff was very helpful & attentive.
I enjoyed flexibility to allow for individual time vs. group interactions, care and detail in food, accommodation.
I love that the group was kept small and the location kept exclusive for our use.
From your conversations/sharing, I appreciate and recommend that as much as possible, please keep your vision alive and don't compromise on your standards. Knowing your integrity for this is what will keep me coming back and strongly recommending to others who appreciate the quality.
Thank you so much for the 1:1 sessions!
We had the most enjoyable weekend yoga retreat in Iceland with Sparkling Yoga. Elena is a wonderful teacher and has a gentle and playful approach to her classes. The classes combined with the thermal pools at the blue lagoon made it a memorable experience. I would definitely go on another of Elena’s retreats.
Elena cultivated a beautiful mix of people in a stunningly beautiful countryside forest. The practice sessions were challenging while accommodating many different levels of ability, from beginners to fellow teachers. The retreat center was charming, accommodating, and respectful of our collective mindfulness. Elena’s ability to connect individually with each participant made this unlike any retreat to which I’ve ever been. Would go back in a heartbeat!
The teachers were creative, they encouraged, challenged, looked after. I enjoyed the physical practice. The staff was very helpful, room lovely! It's an eye opening experience, I made memories, learned a lot & had so much fun.
Vibes & energy created by the teachers, location, group & yoga was so positive... Finally having 2 teachers was very special, felt looked after and made practice very unique.
Full of gratitude.
