Elena's retreats are always stellar - she attends to every possible detail, making the entire experience outstanding! I've been to several retreats with her, and Greece was my favorite. The views were beyond spectacular - like a James Bond movie, and the food was incredibly delicious as well as healthy. My yoga practice always improves with her guidance and she challenges us enough to help us grow. It doesn't get better than Sparkling Yoga Retreats!
My sister and I attended Elena’s retreat in Greece together and it was truly a magical experience. The setting is completely picturesque with stunning views and the most serene yoga studio I have ever been in. The food was amazing as well, beyond my expectations. The yoga was perfectly tailored to our group and complemented our other daily group adventures. This is a retreat that truly delivers, you will have life long memories to cherish!
Thank you Elena for another beautiful retreat! All on point: room, food, staff, facilities are great.
The interplay of Elena and Karina, personality wise and yoga wise. Very nice and complementary.
Elena & Karina truly created some magic, held space and guided us so creatively, playfully and with experience. You two were a great team, keep it up!
Elena, your retreats allow to dive deep, to detach from the every day life at home but also to gain new tools to implement back home.
Thank you for your great work, for sharing your knowledge, your spark and your passion!
To many more retreats together!
Wonderful teacher! Patient, clear, calm, encouraging. Loved it!
Elena really listened to us and focused on areas we were concerned about so well.
It was a beautiful, restorative programme. Perfect balance throughout.
Lovely hotel. Gorgeous room. Fab brekkie! Very helpful staff.
It was my first ever retreat. Good for my heart, body and soul. I will be back!
We had the most enjoyable weekend yoga retreat in Iceland with Sparkling Yoga. Elena is a wonderful teacher and has a gentle and playful approach to her classes. The classes combined with the thermal pools at the blue lagoon made it a memorable experience. I would definitely go on another of Elena’s retreats.
Elena cultivated a beautiful mix of people in a stunningly beautiful countryside forest. The practice sessions were challenging while accommodating many different levels of ability, from beginners to fellow teachers. The retreat center was charming, accommodating, and respectful of our collective mindfulness. Elena’s ability to connect individually with each participant made this unlike any retreat to which I’ve ever been. Would go back in a heartbeat!
The teachers were creative, they encouraged, challenged, looked after. I enjoyed the physical practice. The staff was very helpful, room lovely! It's an eye opening experience, I made memories, learned a lot & had so much fun.
Vibes & energy created by the teachers, location, group & yoga was so positive... Finally having 2 teachers was very special, felt looked after and made practice very unique.
Full of gratitude.
