Instructors
Janina
Janina discovered the practice of yoga in 2015, shortly after leaving behind her ordinary life in Germany to find more peace and happiness while traveling the world. Somehow, the universe gave her a push into the right direction, by advising her to join a silent meditation retreat. There, she realized that the way to real happiness has very little to do with the world around you. It was more about the journey inside. A whole new perception revealed itself—she was not only her body, but also her mind reacting constantly to her senses and desires.
Anastasia
Yoga came into Anastasia's life at a time of searching, chaos, and transformation. Seeking meaning, she traveled to India, where her journey into yoga truly began. Since then, she's explored yogic traditions, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy across Asia, discovering that yoga is not just movement—it’s a way of being. In her classes, she blends traditional practices like kriyas, mantra chanting, pranayama, meditation, and asana. She is here to guide and support you—because yoga isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about remembering who you truly are.
Retreat location
The Place World is nestled on Sicily's west coast, near Marsala and just in front of the island Favignana. They are overlooking the world heritage pink saline and the nearby famous kite surfing hot spot Stagnone. From there it is only 5 more kilometers to some sandy beaches for swimming and sun worshiping.
The retreat center is surrounded by its own little forest, and idyllic hideout to reconnect with nature, find silence and cute little chillout areas. And yet they are close to all the comforts of an urban life like shops, bakeries and restaurants.
The Place World is a little oasis of joy, a safe shelter of peace—like a bird's nest from where you can overlook the sea and the sunset, from where you can look within and recharge to connect with the world around.
