Nourishing Ojas: Lunar Elemental Vinyasa & Thai Massage Teacher Retreat (50 hrs) I Tuscany


This brand new 50 hr Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Retreat is led by Daphne Koken and Elisabeth Hartl. Both of them are experienced Prana Vinyasa yoga teachers, body workers and nature lovers.

During this Lunar Elemental Vinyasa & Thai Massage Teacher Training Retreat we will slow down, like Nature does, and we will dive into the lunar arts, as part of our vinyasa yoga practice. We will be flowing through daily, lunar elemental vinyasa sequences that invite us to replenish and revitalize our energy on a deep, cellular level. You will experience the nourishing, grounding, soothing and cleansing effects of the elements in lunar practice.

We wil be cultivating a strong connection with our healing hands through daily Thai Massage practices that allow us to develop our hands on assisting skills as yoga teachers. Both Elisabeth and Daphne will be sharing lectures based on their own connection with nature and the lunar arts. Lectures will involve knowlegde of the pranic body, nutrition, the elements and the power of essential oils.

After this week together you will feel nourished and inspired to apply the art of touch in your gentle vinyasa classes as well as in your daily life, practicing your Thai massage skills on friends & family.

We will stay in tipi tents, allowing us to feel connected with nature throughout the whole journey. We will practice in our wonderful indoor yoga shala as well as outside in nature.

Our wonderful hosts at Podere di Maggio will be serving magical, nourishing, organic and vegetarian meals.
