Go deeper with this holistic yoga experience. You'll work with different yoga styles each day while extending your learning into areas such as mantras and sound healing, pranayama, karma yoga, and chakras to fully immerse yourself in your yoga practice.

Ilka will lead you through a range of yoga styles, including Hatha, vinyasa, yin, Kundalini yoga, AcroYoga and more.

Expand your practice and explore the effect of mantras in various languages, mediations, pranayama, chanting and sound healing. Learn about alignment, energetic locks (bhandas), fascia trains, TCM and the chakras to immerse deeply into your yoga practice. Explore the philosophical aspects of yoga and learn how to take yoga off the mat to make it a lifestyle choice.
