About Lela Akhavan (retreat leader)
Founder of Lela Yoga Hamburg (2014), yoga teacher (500-hour Yoga Alliance certification), meditation instructor, and certified life and business coach (DBVC, IOBC) as well as stress and emotions coach (emTrace®).
I have been practicing yoga and meditation for over 20 years. I deepened my experience in India, Thailand, and Australia, as well as through many years of guidance from Ursula Lyon. Training with Remo Rittiner, A. G. Mohan, Oliver Sheridan, and at Anahata Yoga have expanded my knowledge of Eastern healing methods, mindfulness, and Western anatomy.
My teaching style and counseling are characterized by creativity, intuition, a broad knowledge base, and a great deal of heart. I offer a loving and relaxed atmosphere where practice and the opportunity for inner growth can take place with trust, ease, and joy. I meet my students where they are and guide them to where they want to go—mindfully and individually.
My mission: to guide people toward greater authenticity, self-determination, and inner balance—with empathy, clarity, and heart.

LongVita takes pride in its selection of diets tailored to the needs of all guests. The flexibility and personalized approach to each retreat guest’s nutrition make the Long Vita Center a unique destination.
Vegetable and Fruit Diet
Developed by Long Vita – Czapielski Młyn more than 15 years ago, this diet is based on Dr. Dąbrowska’s vegetable and fruit fast. It has healing properties aimed at cleansing the body of all harmful substances. Due to its low calorie content and limited nutrient intake, a side effect is the loss of excess body weight. Thus, the diet leads to detoxification and weight loss.
