This retreat with Birgit Maier combines yoga, journaling, and mental health into a mindful journey inward. The process begins on the mat: flowing mixed-style sequences activate the body in the morning, strengthen your presence, and bring your breath into a clear rhythm. In the late afternoon, a gentle Yin practice leads you into depth—held poses, mindful breathing, and meditative elements open up spaces that often remain closed off in daily life.
Each yoga practice is dedicated to a life theme—not just in thought, but through the body. Themes such as letting go & trust, inner strength, self-worth, or clarity and alignment become tangibly experiential. The body remembers—and that is precisely where this retreat begins.
Each session is followed by a mindful journaling and reflection period. Through guided writing prompts, coaching tools, and inspiring questions, space is created to put experiences into words. What has emerged on the mat can now be understood and integrated.
The Son Manera Retreat Finca, picturesquely situated on a hill, offers the ideal setting for this inner journey with its expansive grounds of 77,000 square meters of green space and views across the countryside. Between sessions, the spacious pool area and the many cozy spots on the finca invite you to integrate your experiences. The vegetarian-vegan full-board meals help you feel light and well-nourished.
This retreat is designed for people who want to reconnect with themselves—through movement, reflection, and mindful alignment.
