Margaretha is a great instructor, with a deep knowledge of the practice and of the region . She adapts the yoga sessions and the hikes to the participants and she creates an enjoyable atmosphere. The overall programme is perfectly balanced. The hotel is very clean and well organized and the food is great!!

"Beautiful experience "

Margaretha made this experience so comfortable and beautiful. She has such a big heart and her passion for yoga and living a balanced life is so evident. I learned a lot about my body in a safe space and felt the calmest and most balanced I ever have. Marcote was the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The stony walls, fresh air, breathing nature and warm people made for a beautiful vacation

"Yoga Retreat in Morcote"

I spent wonderful days in the lovely village Morcote.

I enjoyed the retreat a lot and went home with lot of energy and great memories.

Highly recommended is also Margaretha’s massage.

"Yoga und la dolce vita im Tessin"

Margaretha ist sehr professionell und steckt ihr ganzes Herzblut in das Yoga Retreat. Mit ihrer Freude hat sie alle Teilnehmer angesteckt und begeistert. Sie hat dabei die Übungen an die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Gruppe angepasst. Außerdem hat sie uns einen sehr persönlichen Einblick in das schöne Tessin gewährt mit exzellentem Essen und Geheimtipps für Ausflüge. Die herrliche Landschaft um Morcote am Luganer See haben ihren Teil zum Wohlfühlen beigetragen. Abgerundet wurde der wunderbare Aufenthalt durch Margarethas Massageangebot sowie die Unterbringung in einem historischen Gebäude auf der Piazza Grande mit Ausblick auf den See. Ein Retreat zum Genießen mit allen Sinnen! Danke Margaretha

"A gem and life-transforming experience "

I liked the classes and how it allowed to connect with our inner voices.

Very soft, accepting and loving experience.

Simplicity and beauty that make you wonder why and when we forgot about those human values that make you feel unique.

Everything was perfect. The hotel is wonderful, very clean and stylish, located in the beautiful valley. Margaretha is very caring and kind, being very attentive to the needs of each group member. I'm dreaming to join next retreat with her.

"Already looking at my next retreat with Margaretha!"

I really liked that Margaretha brought high quality yoga equipment (the mats!!), that she adapted the entire program to our skill sets (often not what we thought we wanted but we actually needed, thank you so much for insisting!).

I was able to relax and calm down during the first yoga session, even my smartwatch reported a 5-10% decrease in my resting heart rate <3 on that first day.

The next-door waterfall with natural pools was the best environment feature during these epically hot days. The hikes were lovely and well suited for the groups constitution.

One evening Margaretha even organised an outdoor dinner BBQ by the waterfall nicely rounded off with fireflies.

I felt relaxed and energised afterwards and was sad that it ended already.

"Selfcare in Panoramaatmosphäre"

Morcote ist ein wunderschönes Dorf mit einem tollen Blick auf den Lago di Lugano, in dem Margareta persönlich, engagiert und zugeschnitten auf die Bedürfnisse der Gäste nicht nur Yoga, sondern auch das Mindset hinter Yoga vermittelt.

"Authentic Yoga experience in great location"

Margaretha is a wonderful and caring Yoga instructor.

The Yoga classes are calming and very well prepared, focused on details since the space is limited to 5 people.

The restaurant we went for dinner offered great food and atmosphere.

"Lebensfreude und Kraft tanken"

Mit sanftem Yoga, viel Entspannung und Lebensfreude hat Margaretha für den perfekten Rahmen gesorgt, um Seele, Körper und Geist so richtig aufzutanken. Zwei schöne Wanderungen in der herrlichen Landschaft des Tessins, ihre Erklärungen zu Land und Leuten sowie das gesunde, feine Essen machten die Woche einfach perfekt. Gerne wieder!

"Amazing stay in Collico with Margaretha van den Broek"

If you want a week of relaxation, great Italian food in beautiful surroundings you should book this retreat. Margaretha was very welcoming and her classes (twice a day) were excellent. She took us on hikes around the Como lake, and even helped me find a ride back to Milan when the trains were on strike.

Also the hotel rooms were lovely with an amazing view of the mountains. I seriously have no complaints at all.

"Innere Ruhe"

Das Eco-Hotel Cristallina hat eine wunderbare Küche, in der sie vieles aus dem eigenen Garten verwenden, alles in Bioqualität. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und setzt alle Hebel in Bewegung, dass der Gast zufrieden ist.

Margaretha geht sehr auf ihre Schüler ein, holt sie bei ihrem individuellen Stand ab und berät diese umfassend.
