March Wellness Weekend
Move. Breathe. Calm the waves.
Led by Bettina Bachmann
This wellness weekend:
Step into a space where the ocean meets the land and the tides set the rhythm. Surrounded by nature in its rawest form, we will flow through asana sequences including breathing and concentration practices. We will be using these practices to explore how we calm the waves, the movements of the mind.
Come curious, let’s explore together, and leave resourced and nourished.
“Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ” - Patanjali Yoga Sutra I.2

Wellness Weekends are our signature experience for those seeking a mini retreat on the Kenyan Coast. These long weekends only happen on selected dates throughout the year, and include 3 nights on half board, 4 yoga sessions, 2 deeply relaxing massages, a guided nature-based adventure, walks, time to rest, reflect, and connect with community. Each Wellness Weekend is different, led by a different visiting teacher, bringing their unique blend of trainings and experience.
Meet your teacher for this retreat, Bettina…
Bettina is a dedicated and experienced Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. In her classes, she loves to share her experiences and incorporate different aspects of yoga to create a well-rounded experience. She is happy when everyone steps off the mat and into the world with positive feelings, having embodied the benefits of the practice — thereby changing the world.
The retreat theme Move. Breathe. Calm the Waves will be reflected throughout the weekend. This will be seen in the carefully designed asana sequences and compiled playlists, as well as the topics for our gatherings, the ‘Satsang’. We will explore selected sutras from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, look at their translation, and relate their meaning to our modern lives.
Bettina believes that retreats offer both personal space and the opportunity to enjoy the uplifting company of others.
