Empowered Goddess Retreat
February 10th - 15th, 2025
Goa, India
This six days retreat is an opportunity for you to slow down, go within and rediscover your love for the Goddess within - the empowered, loving and fulfilled woman that you are!
We intentionally chose dates around Valentine’s day to invite you to focus on self-love, empowerment and to invite you to take back your power by putting yourself first.
Creating the perfect conditions for you to slow down, reflect and work on your goals, we are here to show you what peaceful abundance feels like.
Nestled in a secluded corner of a Goan jungle, the stunning retreat centre that will be hosting us is the perfect space for you to nurture your inner light, connect to fellow goddesses and experience some of the beautiful and spiritually-charged energy of India.
We will invite you to set your own personal goal for the week and we will allow it to weave beautifully with all that other women will be working with, allowing us all to truly see, inspire and support each other.

Meet Lana
My 'yogic' journey that started over a decade ago with Iyengar yoga, have taken me to explore various styles and eventually pursue a Multi-style yoga teacher training. WIth my rich and diverse background in yoga, I like to blend traditional disciplines with modern approaches, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. My classes are likely to reflect a harmonious balance of discipline, philosophy, and adaptability, with strong emphasis on cultivating flexibility not only in the body, but also in the mind and spirit. By integrating the teachings of yoga philosophy, I encourage students to explore new perspectives and embrace change, fostering a sense of liberation and growth.
In addition to my focus on yoga, I channel my expertise into empowering women through specialized retreats and programs designed to foster self-discovery, empowerment, and healing. By creating a supportive environment and offering tailored practices, I help women connect with their inner strength and intuition, equipping them with tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
As a shiatsu practitioner, I bring additional depth to my classes by incorporating complementary techniques and knowledge to enhance the overall experience. I like to take a light-hearted and humorous approach to life and teaching, creating a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere in classes, making yoga accessible and enjoyable for all my students.
Meet Paula
I find inspiration in making time and creating the right space to allow women to truly connect. In my teens and early twenties I often struggled to form strong, meaningful and sustainable bonds with women, often finding myself falling into romantic relationships in an attempt to fill that void. Only in my mid-twenties I managed to break this pattern and started investing more energy in building and sustaining these divine bonds.
While I spend a lot of time studying & growing my understanding of psychology and different holistic therapies applied to working with trauma, I'm also a firm believer of using somatic practices like Yoga & breathwork, to take care of my overall wellbeing.
I discovered Yoga in my twenties as a complimentary practice to my gym routine. What started as a hobby, soon became a lifestyle that helped me to maintain physical health and feel more grounded mentally & emotionally. Now I'm on a mission to help others discover Yoga's multifaceted benefits.
My classes vary depending on who I'm working with, but the overarching
theme is finding something that suits every body and leaves you feeling energised, uplifted and more comfortable in your own skin.
