Sometimes it’s very subtle: in an open conversation, a movement that feels free, a meal that truly nourishes you, or a moment when you’re completely at ease with yourself.
And sometimes you only realise how much you’ve missed this sense of vitality when something inside you becomes warmer, more expansive and lighter once more.
Summer draws life outwards. Nature reveals itself in all its abundance; colours become more vibrant, blossoms open, and everything comes into sharper focus. Within us, too, this time of year can awaken a longing to feel more alive and connected once more.
Joy of the Heart invites you to notice:
What makes you feel expansive and alive inside?
Where do you hold back your joy or your self-expression?
With whom or what do you feel a genuine connection?
How much space do you give to the things that touch your heart?
It’s not about being happy or full of energy all the time.
It’s about embracing your joy as an integral and essential part of you.
VITALITY
Can you be aware of what touches
your heart and makes you feel alive?
CONNECTION
Can you treat yourself and
others with heartfelt openness?
JOY
Can you give space to what lies within you
that longs to be seen and experienced as joy?
Joy of the heart is linked to the quality of the FIRE ELEMENT.
It represents warmth, joy, connection and the ability to express ourselves openly and vibrantly.
In summer, nature’s energy reaches its peak. Blossoms open, colours come to life and life bursts forth. The fire element within us, too, seeks connection: with ourselves, with other people and with what gives our lives meaning.
However, joy of the heart does not mean always being in a good mood or ignoring difficulties. Rather, it arises when you are aware of yourself, allow yourself to be moved, and give expression to what is truly present in you, and important.
The element of fire invites you to tune in more closely:
What warms your heart?
Where, with what and with whom do you feel connected?
What would you like to show, say or experience more fully again?
From 30 May to 20 June (3 weeks), you’ll be guided through regular, seasonally appropriate yoga and meditation sessions, group meetings, nourishing nutritional tips and time for personal reflection and integration.
The ‘Joy of the Heart’ retreat lasts three weeks and follows the format of the 21-day yoga challenge, complemented by Elina’s nutritional tips.
You can book the yoga part of this season separately.
With Fiona, you’ll explore the quality of fire through an evolving, energizing yoga flow - feeling vitality and joy through powerful moving. This will be balanced by embodied stillness & somatic practices which give the allowance to witness what is present, experiencing your inner life and allowing self-expression more space.
With Elina, you’ll focus on how nutrition can support you well during this vibrant and energetic time. Colourful, wholesome and practical recipes will help you feel nourished and find joy in mindful eating.
The schedule provides a clear framework – without overloading your week.
If you’re unable to join us live, the recordings will be available in the members’ area.
Would you like to know when the yoga sessions and our group meetings take place?
You’ll find all the dates at a glance in the weekly schedule.
These three weeks are an invitation to not only try new things, but also to relive and experience them repeatedly.
To be active, to pause for a moment, to eat differently and to realise what truly serves you.
There is nothing to prove.
What matters is what resonates with your body and heart, and what you wish to integrate into your daily life.
