Balearic Islands · 7 days · From EUR 1800 (indicative)
Mornings follow a fixed shape. At 8.30am the group sits in silence, then moves through somatic dance, yoga and meditation together. Breakfast is at about 10.15am, and on most days the silence holds until 11am. After that the day opens up: talking circles where each person speaks and the others listen without judging, a massage, a regression session, or a walk into the forest five minutes from the house.
The programme shifts day by day. Day one includes a Conscious Touch Massage, which Saskia uses to get to know you. Day two is regression work, looking back at what makes you happy and what matters to you, followed by forest bathing (sylviotherapy) and somatic dance in the woods. Day three starts very early with a silent trip to the beach for training on the sand. Day four brings Yoni Egg yoga and an excursion. Day five has an initiating ritual, intuitive painting, a closing ceremony and a dinner cooked by a visiting Italian chef. Saskia says she keeps some details back as a surprise.
What separates this from a standard yoga week is the amount of individual attention. With one to three guests, sessions are built around the person in front of her rather than a set timetable, and she says the programme varies because every person needs different dynamics. The tools she lists are massage, somatic dance, intuitive painting, yoga, meditation, Tantra, talking circles, sylviotherapy, regression work and food, plus Yoni Egg yoga and an introduction to Tantra and Taoism.
Saskia was born in West Germany in 1970 and has lived on Ibiza since 1998. She worked as a classical ballet dancer for several years, has practised Ayurvedic, therapeutic, tantric and Taoist massage, and has studied Tantra, Tao and Kriya Yoga in Egypt, Bali and India. She has run seminars and programmes of this kind for three years. She also built and ran her own fair-trade fashion brand before turning to this work full time.
The house sits in the middle of nature outside Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, on Mallorca. The garden is full of flowers, old carob trees give shade, and a small yard grows salads and herbs. Most sessions happen outdoors on the yoga shala and terraces. The nearest beach is a short drive away and is used for the early training session; the airport is about 20 minutes by taxi.
