SOMATIC YOGA & NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET

This retreat has a unique concept. It's created to bring you into a state of deep calm and peace with a signature method, synergistically blending yoga with vagus nerve reset practices that regulate nervous system, support recovery and heal your sleep.

Drawing on her extensive background in yoga, psychology and somatic trauma therapy, Elena created a programme designed to help the body release accumulated stress, restore energy and return to a more balanced, coherent and regulated state.

Additionally, you'll be guided through a programme of supportive practices: self-myofascial release, breathwork, mindfulness meditation and sleep-enhancing yoga nidra.

Each session is designed to discharge stress, soften chronic tension and support deeper sleep. This is particularly valuable if you have been feeling depleted, overwhelmed, tired-and-wired, or simply aware of the importance of giving your nervous system a true reset.

All sessions are adapted to the people in the room, with clear guidance on modifications and plenty of individual attention, making the programme suitable for both complete beginners and experienced practitioners. The intention is not only that you feel wonderful while you are in Corsica, but that you leave with practical tools you can continue using long after the retreat — to support your nervous system, your sleep and a more harmonious relationship with your own body.

OUR RETREAT HOTEL

Picture yourself in a tranquil designer hotel crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring the finest materials and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces immersed in fragrant Mediterranean vegetation.

Imagine opening your window to the soothing sound of the babbling brook.

After lunch, you rest while enjoying the melody of birdsong and the intoxicating scent of essential oils wafting from the surrounding pine forest.

You practice yoga in a room with a view that is truly unique: mountains, forests and a river.

Your daily yoga and meditation practice helps you feel increasingly connected to your body, mind, and soul. Every day, you feel toned, strong, calm, clear, and present. Your mind becomes both sharper and more relaxed—a unique effect of regular meditation. You know you are taking the best possible care of yourself.

In addition to the yoga programme, you will have an opportunity to experience horse riding with the most spectacular backdrop in Corsica.

Join us for a transformative journey at our Somatic Yoga Retreat in Corsica, where nature, luxury, and wellbeing come together in perfect harmony.

ELENA'S STORY

The idea to organise this magnificent Yoga Retreat in Corsica was born when I found this unique and peaceful hotel in Corsica while exploring the island. I completely fell in love with it the moment I walked into the property.

I've traveled the world, but never have a found a place with the energy like this one. The way this absolutely stunning hotel merges with nature, how they dance and intertwine together is really very organic and natural. The hotel is a part of nature and nature is a part of the hotel, and synergistically they become a true sanctuary that is healing and nourishing.

The first time I visited the property, I was struck by the beauty of the hotel's internal spaces, spa, wooden terraces lined by the olive trees. My shoulders relaxed, my face softened and I just felt completely filled with such a deep sense of gratitude that places like this architectural masterpiece exist.

And - last but definitely not least - the yoga space at our retreat hotel is absolutely divine. It's equipped with highest quality yoga props, filled with daylight and great energy. I can't think of a more perfect shala to focus on our practice.

What a breathtaking place for a retreat. Honestly, I wouldn't change a single thing!

I can't wait to welcome you here.

MEET YOUR TEACHER

Your retreat will be led by Elena, founder of Sparkling Yoga Retreats. Elena facilitated more than 150 international retreats worldwide and a number of teacher training programs.

Elena Mironov is an internationally recognised yoga teacher, somatic trauma therapist, and specialist in myofascial release. She spent six years working at one of Zurich's most exclusive mental health clinics, where she combined neuroscience-informed approaches with body-based therapeutic work to help clients recover from chronic stress and trauma.

Her work has been featured in leading yoga publications, and she has been invited to teach and speak for organisations including Six Senses, LinkedIn, Microsoft, the World Economic Forum, Mindvalley, Web Summit Lisbon, and many others.

Her retreats blend the wisdom of yoga with modern science, creating transformative experiences that support not only how you feel today - but your nervous system balance and healthy longevity for years to come.

SOMATIC YOGA

This is not yoga as you may know it.

Elena has developed a signature somatic yoga method that weaves together movement, breathwork and yoga nidra, however also includes nervous system regulation, somatic healing practices inspired by Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing.

The intention is not only to stretch the body or calm the mind, but to help your whole system recalibrate.

Each session is designed to gently guide the body out of chronic bracing, stress and survival mode, and into a state of greater safety, coherence and restoration. Through carefully curated practices, your nervous system receives the message that it is safe to soften, release accumulated tension, and let go of the patterns fight-flight-freeze. It's time to rest and thrive.

This work can be especially powerful if you have been carrying a high level of stress, feeling tired and wired, overwhelmed, depleted, or holding too much for too long. This retreat supports a deep reset of the nervous system, helps reduce the physiological load of stress, replenishes energy and supports sleep.

You'll experience much more than that wonderful after-yoga-feeling: a sense that your body has truly exhaled — calmer, lighter, more regulated, and more deeply restored.

This yoga retreat is designed for all levels of practitioners including beginners, intermediate and experienced practitioners.

ACCOMMODATION

It's situated along the riverbank and features cosy and stylish bedrooms, each of them being unique. Meticulous attention to detail and the use of natural materials make our retreat a haven of peace, combining comfort, modernity, serenity, and intimacy, providing a homely feel.

The charm of our retreat hotel is infused with the wild beauty of nature. It's a paradise for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and those who love horse riding. For me personally, horse riding in Corsica has been an experience I'll never forget and I can't recommend it enough.

Besides our yoga, cooking and horseback riding programme, you'll be able to explore rugged mountains and enjoy scenic walks through pine tree forests. The hotel provides refreshing options such as swimming in the clear waters of the river or the heated private pool at 29°C.

You will be blown away! It’s an incredible experience every time and I have joined Elena in Switzerland, Norway and now, Corsica.
I came to Corsica to “clear my cache”—and ended up receiving so much more. Gratitude is the word that keeps coming up. Grateful for the space to disconnect, reflect, and recharge. And as always, I fully trust Elena’s gift for curating deep, meaningful experiences and soul & body-nourishing yoga practices.

She not only guides us through inner journeys, but also takes us to some of the most breathtaking places on this planet. Corsica was no exception—wild, raw, grounding, and stunning. This retreat wasn’t just a break; it was a beautiful reset and provided a container for deep self-reflection.

If you’ve never been on a yoga retreat, you should do yourself a favor and book a retreat with Elena. Her instruction was detailed and specific, and she offered many modification possibilities. I am new to yoga but felt totally welcomed by Elena and by the other participants, some of whom are very experienced practitioners. The setting and hotel were stunning and the service was impeccable. It was evident that Elena had worked meticulously to create a very special experience for all of us. I’m very grateful for this magical escape that offered a reset as well as inspiration for committing to a more intentional life.I highly recommend it!

Her retreat in Corsica was nothing short of transformative. Elena has crafted an experience where every detail feels intentional—from the setting at the island's most exclusive resort to the cuisine featuring impossibly fresh local ingredients. The yoga practice itself strikes a perfect balance: challenging yet accessible flows paired with grounding meditation sessions that reset both body and mind.
I've attended several of Elena's retreats now, and each one leaves me restored in ways I didn't know I needed.
