Expressing What Matters To Us and Trusting Our Wisdom
|
When was the last time you allowed yourself to be seen and heard - fully?
Life asks us to express ourselves every day - in conversations, in decisions, and in the moments when honesty feels both important and difficult. But we often hold back. This retreat offers a welcoming space to explore how we communicate, how we listen, and how we stay true to ourselves when it matters most. Over the weekend, we work with both practical tools and individual practices. In group coaching sessions, we focus on speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable, expressing ourselves with clarity, and navigating conversations we usually avoid. We also explore intuitive listening - learning to recognise our inner signals before we respond to the world around us. Our yoga sessions strengthen this work - the dynamic Vinyasa with Elina brings energy, confidence and playfulness into expression through movement. The Yin Yoga with Ronit helps us slow down, tune in, and create space to hear our intuition more clearly. This retreat is for anyone who wants to communicate with more confidence, listen with more awareness, and feel more connected to their own voice. It is a grounded, practical, and supportive weekend designed to help us show up with honesty - both with ourselves and with others. |
The Art of Expression - A Retreat for Speaking, Listening and Connection
We are Ronit and Elina. We are both experienced yoga teachers and we have background as professional coaches in different fields.
Our approach brings together three effective tools: yoga for connecting with the body, group coaching for clarity and growth, and creative art to help insights become truly personal. Our concept “The Art of…” is a series of retreats designed to offer structured, supportive practices that strengthen different parts of our lives by combining these approaches. This spring we will be focusing on communication, self-awareness, and everyday wellbeing.

Who We Are and Our Story
|
Hello, I’m Elina. I am a certified Executive and Leadership Coach and Team Coach, PCC level by ICF International Coaching Federation. I work as master trainer with groups and individuals in corporate settings to overcome group dynamics and personal patterns. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with psychology, people development, counselling and coaching in helping people navigate career and personal life. I also hold certification as Health and Wellbeing Coach (NHS UK), specialising in emotional resilience, burnout prevention and work-life balance.
As a yoga and meditation teacher, my teaching style is lighthearted and nurturing, always with a touch of humour because I believe we learn best when we feel at ease. I have over 600+ RYT training and 10+ years teaching in Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative Yoga, Hot Yoga, and Yin Yoga. I also love combining creative concepts like Kids Yoga, Kids Yoga For Adults and Inside Flow. I also have experience as certified massage therapist and aromatherapy specialist, which I blend into the practices. |

Hi, my name is Ronit - an experienced yoga instructor, Gestalt coach, and an education specialist with a background in the international aid sector and in refugee education. I combine my teaching with my background in coaching, exploring the various teaching styles and pedagogical methods as we continuously learn, explore and grow together. A life without yoga is hard to imagine. When I first stepped onto the mat nearly 15 years ago, I had no idea what kind of journey I was beginning. Over the years, I’ve deepened my practice and completed certifications in Vinyasa Flow (Yoga Union, 200h), Yin Yoga (Arhanta Yoga), and Mindful Restorative Yoga Therapy, along with additional training. And yet, yoga continues to be an endless path of learning and self-discovery. Read more about Ronit. For me, yoga is not just about movement—it is about listening, connecting to what evolves in the moment and finding space to grow. I love creating spaces where we can explore what emerges using breath and awareness as our guides. |
