OPEN TO TRANSFORM – Yoga, Nature & Community
In September, when the last golden days of summer are going to fade, and we slowly welcome autumn, Annie and Dilara are inviting you to pause, breathe, and step into the rhythm of the changing season.
The Open to Transform retreat is your space to savor the lingering warmth while welcoming the grounding depth of autumn. Through the dance of Yin and Yang—gentle stillness and invigorating movement—we find balance, release what no longer serves us, and open to renewal.
Journaling will guide you inward, revealing the lessons summer leaves behind and the wisdom autumn carries forward. By the end of the retreat, you’ll step into the next season lighter, clearer, and ready to flow with ease.
The shift is already within you—let it unfold.

With Dilara
Dilara’s yoga journey began in 2016, alongside her studies in business. While navigating the demands of the corporate world, she became increasingly aware of her deep need for balance that her daily routine could not fulfill. After five years of working the 9-to-5, she decided to fully dedicate herself to her yoga practice and share its power with others. Her most recent training in northern India allowed her to deepen her commitment to Vinyasa and Ashtanga, exploring the different approaches and possibilities of yoga. Dilara’s classes are a fusion of powerful, flowing movements designed to challenge both the body and mind. She creates a space where students are invited to explore their own boundaries and discover their potentials in one flow. Inspired by her Reiki training, she places a strong emphasis on the subtle energies within, guiding students to access and unlock these energies during practice. Discover a peaceful state within yourself by turning the focus inward, elevating your body awareness and cultivating mindfulness.
With Annie
Annie discovered Yoga at the gym in 2007 – and although she didn’t know much about Yoga, she realized that the Asana Practice was magic. As a result, she quit the gym and signed up in a Yoga Studio, started studying the philosophy behind Yoga and deepened her knowledge during a Ashtanga Vinyasa Teacher Training in India. After many years of her own practice, Annie decided 2017 to share her joy of Yoga and work as a teacher. Since then she taught Yoga in several Studios in Berlin, Costa Rica and in Bali. Annie regularly attends continuing education courses with teachers from all kinds of Styles, such as Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga and – very passionately – Ashtanga. Her Vinyasa and Ashtanga-inspired classes include a dynamic mix of physically challenging asanas designed to be fun for all levels. She invites her students to practice playfully while becoming aware of their bodies and minds.
