„ The retreat was somewhat life-changing for me. Always resistant to breathwork - this showed me a way to harness the strong emotions that came up work with them, allowing them. Antonia's hands-on support was so important in feeling held physically and metaphorically. I am SO glad I did this retreat and looking forward to the next one! :-D“

„ I felt comfortable from the start. She picked me up where I was at the moment, very sensitively. Even while breathing, Antonia sensed where support was needed in the form of words or touch. The session brought me well into my center. A lot of gratitude for what was there and gentleness emerged. Thanks“

Antonia Dienst
Antonia's passion lies with people and their processes. Design is her topic - on the outside (architecture) as well as on the inside (coaching). As a trained architect, she has already designed the outside and has been exploring the path of inner work for a long time. The passion became a vocation and now Antonia accompanies people in mentoring, breathwork, and embodiment sessions. The soul and the core of our being are always in focus for her.

Antonia has given several breathwork sessions in group and one-on-one settings.
She is trained as a holistic life coach, shift companion, and breathwork facilitator.
Her education and knowledge grew in 3 different training programs.
She is now part of a breathwork facilitator community HealingARTs by Karin Nikbakht and has the honour to offer this retreat under the brand Pure Embodiment® (founded by Karin Nikbakht). Currently, she is deepening her knowledge in Diving Deep®. (Training mainly with Karin Nikbakht).
Yoga with Becca Spooner
Becca has studied Scaravelli, Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin and 5 Element yoga. She teaches a slow, strong, flowing practice sprinkled with 5 Element theory, Acupressure, and Qi Gong techniques.
For more information, check out holisticallybecca.com

When she’s not teaching, she’s a Shiatsu practitioner: a Japanese bodywork technique to shift stuck energy. She is passionate about helping people explore the more subtle realms of their existence in a light and accessible way to help restore their balance of mental and physical health.
Becca’s classes invite play, freedom of movement, and a detailed explanation of how to find shapes that free the body from stagnation and pain.
„If you wonder how transformational 3 days can be, breathe work Antonia! She builds the trust with me almost instantaneously, and she supported me fully through the journey. She is very compassionate and sensitive to my needs. My breathing journey was greatly deepened by the physical touch she provides - she really knows when and what!! I am particularly amazed by the guiding questions she asks- it feels like the higher power channels through her. Antonia knows and she is THE breathwork coach to work with.“

Sessions
-
In these sessions, you will practice the Conscious Connected Breath (CCB).
The CCB is characterized by continuous, intensive (deep) inhalation and exhalation. You bring lots of oxygen into your body and allow energy to come into your system/body. This can lead to the release of old memories, blockages, or even the intensification of your strength and potential.
By releasing old storage, more space is created energetically. Your soul and your strength for your work find more space. Within you anyour life.
-
Yoga is an ancient practice that involves physical poses, concentration, and deep breathing. A regular yoga practice can promote endurance, strength, calmness, flexibility, and well-being.
The sessions are held by Becca Spooner. (See above)
Her practice is a very grounding addition to the other sessions. Her playfulness always invited the curious child in you. -
by letting your phone rest.
As a group we commit to a daily amount of time to use the phone.
This is to motivate ourselves to let our minds rest.Your body and soul will automatically detox with the sessions and vegan food.
