FREE YOUR SOUL
IN THE GAMBIA
29.11.- 05.12.2025
Want to escape your everyday life?
Wake up to birdsong and the sound of the sea?
Yallah, join us on a retreat in the Gambia, more precisely on the beach in the small village of Sanyang.
YOGA
Stretch your body, caress your soul and welcome the rising sun with yoga and meditation surrounded by white beaches, cows, colorful birds and the sea. The yoga is suitable for all levels. Due to the small group size, individual topics can be addressed wonderfully.
WORKSHOP
Enjoy an African breakfast and then spend the morning in the protected space that we create together in our workshops. This is perhaps your most precious time to get in touch with your desires and needs. You will encounter blockages that stand in the way and learn to dissolve them through loving acceptance and targeted exercises.
FUN
A delicious local lunch is followed by afternoons where you can simply do nothing, laze on the beach or go for a walk by the sea.
DRUMMING/DANCING
In the early evening, you can let off steam by learning the djembe drum or, if you already drum, trying out new rhythms. Alternatively, you can also learn African dancing instead of drumming. This ignites an enormous zest for life and fire in you, grounds you and is the most fun workout anyway.
RELAXATION
After we have once again spoiled you with a delicious traditional meal, we will end the day quietly and on two evenings with a wonderful surprise.
“I feel infinite gratitude that you exist and what beautiful people you attract and connect. You yourself radiate such freedom and strength and at the same time you care warmly for the people around you. I have learned so much these days and wish you lots of strength and energy for everything that is yet to come! It’s so nice that you exist! See you next time! Inshallah!”
“Dear Lena ,
I am very happy to have experienced such a wonderful retreat in Morocco together with you and the other great girls. I learned during this trip that it is not bad to let go of things and try new things like yoga :).
I am grateful for all the beautiful moments and that you showed me a completely different Morocco than the one I got to know 20 years ago.
The people here are just so lovely and helpful and even if you don’t always speak the same language, you can tell from their friendly looks that you are welcome. All the encounters and experiences such as drinking tea with Sheriff at the campfire on the beach, sand boarding in the dunes, riding out together, as well as the trip with Mohamed to Paradise Valley, make our friendship even more valuable and make my heart glow.Thank you for being an energetic woman with all your ideas and dreams and for having such a great man by your side. Together you are such a great, unbeatable team. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us so closely.
Love to you”

“Dear Lena, your coaching on the topic -saying no- touched me very much. You have a zest for life that inspires me again and again.
