Copenhagen RETREAT 2025
Be your best self - A Transformative Yoga for musicians Retreat in Copenhagen
July 11-13, 2025
Slow down. Let go. Re-wake your energy!
This July, escape to the vibrant heart of Copenhagen for a 3-day immersive retreat designed to help you release tension, regenerate deeply, and build lasting strength.
When was the last time you recharged deeply and only took care for yourself?
You might know these periods when you don’t feel balanced, don’t feel connected and just “running” behind. Lots of performances, several repertoire, maybe even lots of traveling - it’s easy to lose balance and to lose your center as a musician.
But it is also quite easy to keep breathing, keep living a healthy lifestyle - and to feel nourished and powerful as a musician!
I invite you to a weekend, where you learn, experience and connect - to feel great for the weekend - and to keep this lifestyle - if you want forever.
I will guide you and take you by the hand to be able to let go responsibility for yourself for a weekend.
We got you!
Through Yoga specifically for musicians, breathwork, Ayurveda, amazing nourishing food and mindful exploration, this retreat is your opportunity to reset your body and mind while embracing the flow of life - both on the mat and on the water.
Why this Retreat is perfect for Musicians:
As a musician, your body is your most valuable instrument. Long hours of practice, intense performances, and the mental demands of a creative career can create physical tension, mental fatigue, and energy imbalances.
This retreat is designed to help you release built-up stress, improve your posture and breathing, and reconnect with your creative flow.
Through yoga, deep relaxation, and Ayurvedic lifestyle tools, you will learn how to sustain your energy, protect your body from strain, and cultivate resilience, so you can continue making music with passion and ease.
What Makes This Retreat Special?
- Release - Recharge - Rebalance: Let go of stress, soften deeply, and regain balance through yoga, breath, and movement.

This retreat isn’t just about movements - it is about finding your own rhythm, reconnecting with your vision, and celebrating life as a musician without burning yourself out.
