Erika Smith Iluszko Yoga Retreat

Yoga Retreats

The fundamental biology of the human species is that we are social animals
and could never survive without deeply connected and interdependent human contact.
Quality social connections, shared experiences, meaningful conversations,
pro-social contacts, mindfulness, physical health and longevity, and nourishing food are what I offer in these yoga retreats. Elements that allow for physical, emotional, mental and, spiritual well-being, homeostasis, vitality, and health.
Becoming aware of the holistic nature of our being and realizing that we are made of
body, breath, mind, community, and more.
This for me, is Yoga.
This is why I offer Yoga Retreats.

Return To Now Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat Carinthia

April 6 - 9, 2023


Most of us have a tendency to live in the past or in the future. How often do you catch yourself thinking about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow? How does this affect your life and well-being?

 

In this 4-day yoga retreat, you'll learn how to live in the present moment more often and immerse yourself in the here & now. Energizing Yoga flows in the morning will give you new energy and Slow Flow, Yin yoga or Restorative yoga classes in the evening will help you to completely let go and relax. Guided meditations, pranayam, journaling sessions and many impulses for more mindfulness will round off your journey into the here & now. And all this with the sounds and smells of nature in the background.

Enjoy the late summer ambience and let yourself be enchanted by the holistic practice of yoga during your vacation! In this 9-day retreat you'll get the chance to connect with like-minded people bounded to the timeless wisdom of yoga. You will refresh your senses with classical body, breathing and meditation exercises from the Hatha Yoga tradition and familiarize yourself with the philosophical aspects in which the real wealth of yoga is anchored.

Two yoga sessions a day give you enough freedom to immerse yourself in the natural beauty around – breathing in the sun, bathing in the crystal clear waters, laughing, walking in the scent of flowering olive trees, gazing at pristine turquoise water – this is a trip ideal for all yoga lovers with a deep love for the sun and the sea, experiencing nature, creativity and peaceful enjoyment.

Guided meditations, journaling, mantra singing sessions and many impulses for more mindfulness will round off your journey into the here & now. And all this with the sound of the sea in the background, a salty breeze in your nose and warm sun rays on your skin.

Finding Peace Yoga Retreat Carinthia

May 6 - 10, 2024


"The holiest place is where an ancient hatred has become a present peace."


We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapon, we see our own minds – our prejudice, fear and ignorance.

In this 5-day yoga retreat, we work towards peace by uprooting war from ourselves. We'll look deeply within to cultivate compassion, because understanding our self helps us understand others. Using our collective wisdom and experience to be the torch lighting our path, showing us what to do. That kind understanding is the fruit of awareness. Energizing Yoga flows in the morning will give you new energy and Slow Flow, Yin
or Restorative yoga classes in the evening will help you to completely let go and relax. Guided meditations, pranayam, Sound Healing sessions and many impulses for more mindfulness will round off your journey into the here & now. And all this with the sounds and smells of nature in the background.
