Instructors
Christel Vollmer
Christel studied yoga on two continents. First, she trained Power yoga under Bryan Kest in Santa Monica, California, the guru to stars like Madonna and Sting. In an Ashram in India, she graduated in Therapeutic yoga with Guru Saji. Added to this was another degree in Yin yoga and Reiki, she has created her style from this colorful yoga world with many great inspirations, a truly multi-dynamic experience but it always adapts to the group. She likes to teach in nature, on beautiful beaches, on magical rocks, or in the yoga shala of her Villa Shanti in her home in Marciana in Elba.
Retreat location
The holiday will take place in Marciana, Tuscany, Italy. Beautiful location between sea and mountains. The tranquillity of the place and the harmony have their signification in Villa Shanti, which means peace. There are two beautiful little villages within walking distance. Marciana and Poggio are like little treasures from a long time ago. Marciana Marina (four kilometers) with its beautiful seaside restaurants and beaches is the contrary with a nice and busy lifestyle but mostly frequented by Italian people. The air on the island is full of oxygen witch is very healthy for your body and soul.
