Give yourself the gift of coming home into nature and to your center.
Journey with us to a lush paradise that awaits to embrace you and remember what it feels like to reconnect, return to stillness and to arrive in the present moment. You’re invited to the ideal place - Hoi An, Vietnam - to leave your daily life and routines behind, to become still and to immerse yourself in quietness and serenity.

Allowing the natural backdrop provided by An Villa and the surrounding environment to cleanse you, release what you no longer need and become lighter and shine. You will become more grounded, learn to listen to yourself and allow your system to heal and restore.

Balancing the 5 Elements
In this retreat we will focus on the elements within and without. According to Yogic philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body constitutes out of 5 elements. The traditions suggest that when the elements are in balance, life is in balance.
In equilibrium, we are healthy, energetic, grounded, balanced and centered. Out of balance, our life force is affected. This causes excess and deficiency which may manifest physically, mentally and emotionally. In the retreat we will gently work with the 5 elements, to help you harmonise the energies within.

About the Retreat Facilitators
victruyoga & Sonja Hesser
Victoria of Victruyoga is fascinated by the healing power of yoga and accompanies people to re-discover their balance, re-activate their self-healing capacities and to access their fullest potential.
With her gentle, unprejudiced and empathetic way she meets you exactly where you are, welcomes the whole of you and empowers you to take the reins for your own wellbeing into your hands.
She hosts worldwide retreats and workshops and has been studying and teaching Yoga in Ecuador, Thailand, India, Bali, the Netherlands and Austria over the past years.
She has worked in yoga retreats, hotels, rehab centers, with private groups, in one-on-ones as well as co-taught teacher trainings. Her style of yoga is flowing and profound, focusing on lightness with a lot of empathy.
Yoga means to bring presence to the moment, to learn to accept self and the world, and to learn to live light. I believe that the path to growth and expression of authentic self can be gentle and enjoyable.
Sonja's yoga journey began 10 years ago. She now passionately supports people in their healing journey with Meridian Yin Yoga, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, breath work and meditation. As a natural empath, her teaching style is warmly compassionate with a focus on mindfulness.
She takes her students’ individuality to heart, making sure that all can experience the nurturing benefits of a slower and deeper practice. Her approach uses the body, breath and time as a gateway to go inside - allowing you to become rooted in the present moment and to create space mentally, emotionally and physically.
