STRENGTH & SERENITY: Yoga Retreat with Fabien, Luigi & Martina

YR190

23-28 September 2025 | Zhangjiajie, Hunan

ABOUT

This is not just a retreat—it’s a recalibration.

Held in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Zhangjiajie, where sandstone pillars rise through mist and the forest breathes ancient stillness, Strength & Serenity is a 6-day immersive journey into embodied power and deep restoration.

 

Each day is an invitation to move with intention and rest with presence. Mornings focus on cultivating strength and mobility using the gymnastic rings, while evenings slow into fascia release, somatic movement, and crystal-infused sound baths.

 

This retreat is designed for people who want to combine physical training with deep relaxation in a natural setting. No previous experience with gymnastic rings is required—sessions will be adapted for different fitness levels. Participants should be comfortable with moderate hiking and group activities.

 

What to Expect?

  • Morning Strength Sessions: Functional movement and mobility practices to build physical strength and fluid control.
  • Evening Serenity Practices: Fascia-focused restorative movement and sound healing journeys with crystal bowls.
  • Nature Immersion: Guided hikes to sacred peaks and hidden trails in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with time to simply be among the elements.
  • Soul Nourishment: Daily shared meals and space for journalling, solitude or connection with like-minded seekers.

 

Your Facilitators

Led by Fabien, Luigi and Martina — your team of movement experts, bodyworkers, and sound alchemists. This retreat merges fun with mindfulness, structure with spaciousness. Together, we hold space and community for your evolution.
