Private Body‑Mind Retreat · Yoga, Breath & Shiatsu for Nervous System Balance

An individual weekend of focused practice, body insight, and calm strength. Where practice becomes conversation — between breath, structure, and truth.

A deep Immersion, a personal weekend to reconnect body, mind & nervous system.

This retreat is for anyone who feels tired, overstimulated, or simply out of rhythm with themselves.
Across one weekend (or a 1½‑day format), you’ll receive personal guidance through yoga, breathwork, and optional shiatsu therapy — supporting you to regulate, rest, and rebuild.

What You’ll Experience

  • Personalised yoga practice – adapted sequence focused on your current physical and energetic condition.

  • Foundational breathwork (pranayama) – techniques to regulate, build energy and awareness of the nervous system.

  • Short daily sequences or video recordings ("cheat sheet") to continue safely on your own.

  • Integration follow‑up — one online or in‑person check‑in three weeks after your retreat to refine the practice.

  • Optional shiatsu treatment + mentoring (90 min  €120)

What This Retreat Gives You


• A calmer, regulated nervous system
• Clear tools to continue your practice at home

Meet the Teacher

My work is guided by a simple principle:

Depth over convenience.
Essence over trends.

In a time where yoga is often fast, simplified, and marketed for quick consumption, my approach returns to experience, embodiment, and attentive practice.

I combine traditional yoga methods with body-mind therapeutic work, creating a space where students can practice safely, deeply, and in their own rhythm.

My background includes:

• Senior-level Ashtanga training (Primary & Intermediate) - Vijay Kumar., Mysore, India
• Senior teacher within the VKM system - Matthew Sweeney., Australia
• Shiatsu therapist specializing in body–mind integration - Zuna Kozankova, Slovakia

Retreat groups are intentionally kept small to allow personal attention, careful listening, and a supportive learning environment.
Each participant is invited for a short conversation before the retreat so the practice can be adapted to individual needs.

  • "If you want a teacher who truly understands anatomy and respects your body’s limits, Danka is the best! ."

    ."Her teaching reminded me that building a body that feels strong and supported is far more important than the shape of a backbend. I’m still working toward kapotasana, but I’m doing it with intention rather than ego this time."

    -Karen Bocqué

  • "The classes with Danka feel like a soft touch, a pause in the middle of the chaotic world where we can calm down, experiment, observe and focus on our well being while building strength and confidence."

    — Camille Remy, Brussels

  • "She is determined, patient and firm and takes time to explain all asanas, and how our bodies should be feeling while practicing - so I feel guided, supported and safe everytime I practice with her. "

    —Zuzana Belicova, Sydney, Australia

  • 'I really enjoy the progressive and therapeutic approach of Danka's classes and she does an amazing job at giving individual guidance, which is very rare skill and asset when teaching online! '

    - Myriam Méret , Rotterdam

  • "Even from far, she provides a safe space and with her interdisciplinary view and many tools, she guides us with her peaceful strength through the practice reminding us to take care of ourselves, to breathe and to watch our feelings and respect the state we are in as well as our day to day needs."
