Experience a week of yoga, rest, and inspiration on the beautiful island of Sardinia.
This retreat is open to everyone interested in yoga – both beginners and those wishing to deepen their practice. Inspired by the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method, we will explore the Primary Series in detail. You’ll learn about the asanas (postures), their structure, effects, and proper alignment, and discover how to adapt them to your individual needs. The aim is to give you an understanding of the essence of Ashtanga Yoga and support you in creating a practice that strengthens, nourishes, and accompanies you – on and off the mat.
There will be plenty of time for personal guidance and individual adjustments so that everyone can find a practice that truly fits.
A special highlight is the New Moon on Saturday, May 16, 2026 – a symbolic moment for new beginnings. Its energy invites you to release what no longer serves and start fresh with clarity and intention.

Arrival, Check-in from 4:00 p.m.
7:00 p.m. dinner, introduction and briefing
We recommend that you fully commit to the programme and its effects, which also means giving up or at least limiting smoking and alcohol. The ‘clearer’ you are during the programme, the more you will get out of it personally, physically and mentally.
Take a whole week for yourself and invest it in the most valuable thing you have: YOU! Enjoy the ‘dolce far niente’, take time to reflect, relax and let go. Embark on an experiment and switch off – maybe even your phone or tablet – and take a good book with you instead.
We would like to point out that the schedule and content of the retreat may be adapted to the wishes, needs and possibilities of the group and may therefore differ from the outlined program. We therefore ask for your understanding and flexibility.
Resting hours during a retreat are between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. to give all participants and the team the opportunity to get enough sleep and rest.
We are equipped with guest yoga mats, blocks, belts, blankets and meditation cushions. Bring something to write for reflection, journaling and exercises (pad or notebook and pen). It’s handy to carry enough cash as the nearest ATM is about 10 minutes away by car.
Packing list:
Rooms are assigned depending on availability and the formation of the group. There are 3 double rooms with private bathroom and outside seating area and one superior room with two double rooms, a bathroom, entrance room and private balcony with sea view. All rooms can also be booked for single use.
The rooms can be booked for single occupancy. Please let us know your preference when booking. If you are traveling alone but would like to share your room, we will try to find you a room mate of the same gender (subject to availability).
Breakfast/brunch: vegetarian (vegan on request) with muesli, porridge, homemade bread, cakes, jams and spreads as well as seasonal fruit, local cheese and honey, butter, tea, coffee, served after the morning session.
Dinner: vegetarian, Italian-Sardinian and international kitchen with vegetables, salads, soups and tea (vegan on request).
Please let us know of any special diets or intolerances before you book so that we can ensure that the kitchen can accommodate your requirements.
Tea and fruit/biscuits are available on request before the afternoon session.
Our tab water is drinkable (don’t forget to bring a drinking bottle).
Public buses run irregularly and journeys tend to be lengthy, so we recommend using your own vehicle (car or scooter). We are located in a rural area with no infrastructure within walking distance.
The capital Cagliari and the holiday town Villasimius are both around 30 minutes by car. There are many wonderful beaches along the coastal road to the east. Our ‘house beach’ is less than a 15-minute walk away, perfect for a refreshing dip in between activities.
We organize a group excursion as part of our retreats.
You can read more about this on our website on the LOCATION & ARRIVAL page.
Car hire: We recommend hiring a car or scooter for the duration of your stay, as this gives you more independence and allows you to visit the beautiful beaches and excursion destinations in the area (e.g. sunnycars.de, billiger-mietwagen.de or booking.com). We are happy to connect retreat participants together to share a hire car.
If there are not enough rental cars available in the group, we organize a taxi service for our excursions.
Transfer: If you are not traveling by car, we can help you book a transfer from Cagliari (airport or city centre) to us. Depending on the number of passengers and the season, this costs from € 40 per journey (as present). Please let us know the time and place of pick-up in advance.
Extension day(s): You can extend your stay with us depending on availability. If we are already full, we will be happy to recommend someone from our partner network.

SANDRA WALKENHOFER:
“Nachdem ich verschiedene Yoga Stile ausprobiert hatte, bin ich 2013 bei Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga gelandet und geblieben. Die regelmäßige Yoga Praxis ist seitdem ein fixer Bestandteil meines Lebens.
Yoga ist für mich eine Lebensweise und ich mag den ganzheitlichen Ansatz, man übt und lernt nicht nur auf der Matte, auch im alltäglichen Leben kann sich Yoga positiv auswirken.
Es ist ein sich üben in Geduld und Achtsamkeit, Grenzen ausloten, sich fordern und ein stätiger Perspektivenwechsel – körperlich wie auch mental.”
MARINA MIGLITSCH:
“Mein Leben ist erfüllt von Lebendigkeit, Abenteuerlust und Neugierde. Insbesondere meine Reisen haben es mir ermöglicht, tiefere Verbindungen zu Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen, und meiner Liebe zur Natur zu knüpfen.
Mein Herzensanliegen ist es, Menschen zu begleiten, sich ihrer Fülle, Schönheit und Einzigartigkeit bewusst zu werden und diese mit Freude zu leben.”
