Yoga & Meditation Retreat
with Manuela Peverelli
October, 10 - 17, 2026 • Saturday to Saturday
Soul Valley, Sardinia, Italy
Discover a magical sanctuary on the island of Sardinia - located in the south of the island - just 45 minutes from Cagliari Airport. Enjoy one week in nurturing beauty and transformation. Connect through breath, community, and indulge in healthy and delicious Mediterranean cuisine.
Experience the magical beauty of Sardinia with its green hills, ancient olive trees, fragrant herbs, blooming flowers, and starry nights. Join us for a nourishing week immersed in nature, deep practice, and a like-minded community. Delicious and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, combined with the peaceful surroundings, will support your overall well-being.
The theme of this week is BHAKTI — the path of devotion and the rediscovery of a mind and heart filled with unconditional love. All practices will be approached as a form of prayer: in subtle silence, through devotional chanting of the divine names with Maureen, and during asana practice grounded in present-moment body awareness. This retreat is an invitation to soften the often strongly conditioned need to control and instead allow divine energy to flow freely — with grace and ease.
Expect a balanced daily rhythm of yoga, meditation, chanting, rest, and free time. Whether you wish to deepen your spiritual practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply recharge, this retreat offers a supportive and inspiring space to do so.
The retreat center will be shared with another group; however, our program and practice spaces will remain dedicated and protected for our participants.
Our group size will be limited to a maximum of 17 participants, allowing for personal attention and an intimate group atmosphere.
All sessions will be taught in English.
Requirements
A minimum of two years of regular practice is required to participate, ideally in Yoga and Meditation.
Please contact Tanja directly at tanja@yogatanja.com with any questions or concerns.
Manuela Peverelli
Manuela made her first Yoga experiences in 2002 and was immediately inspired from the art of embodying consciousness and through the physical expression shaping the inner landscape. She grew up in Zurich, where she finished her first Teacher Training in 2008. Ever since her relationship to Yoga deepened in all realms and became more holistic through several years of sincere practices of Asana, Pranayama, Vipassana/Metta Meditation, Mantra and Mauna (noble silence). She lived for a while in Asia and afterwards returned to India, Thailand and Myanmar every Winter for 3-4 months to take time for her own practice. The studies in Ayurvedic Psychology bridged her background profession as a Psychiatric Nurse to the Eastern approach of how to find inner freedom. As she continues to be fascinated by the life changing effect of open awareness, she started a training in Buddhist Psychotherapy in 2018. For Manuela Yoga with its various aspects, offers incredibly powerful instruments to create harmony between body, mind and soul, that’s why she keeps feeling inspired to share those tools with others. Manuela teaches classes, retreats and trainings in different places in Europe. The Southwest coast of France has become her new home, where she opened a small Retreat place together with her partner: www.mettavilla.fr.
