Wild Hearts

I’ve known Elke for three years now and every single yoga retreat with her has been simply magical. After every retreat, my colleagues say to me: “Sophie is back with her glow.” And that's exactly how it feels: as if with every hour I arrive a little more at myself. Elke is unique – in her presence, in her energy and in the way she opens spaces. Her classes are an interplay of music, voice, gentle guidance and powerful practice. Sometimes demanding, sometimes soft, but always exactly what I need at that moment. I have rarely met a person who so intuitively senses what a group and every single person needs at that moment. This mixture of depth, lightness, humor and heart makes her retreats very special. And even if it can be physically challenging, I always go home strengthened, clearer and inspired. For me, Elke's spaces are places I always want to return to. ✨

The Inner Wilderness Yoga Retreat with Elke in Lithuania was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. It was my first yoga retreat and I had no idea what to expect, yet everything I could have wished for was surpassed. Elke created a loving and safe space where I could fully open up, grow and arrive at myself. Her positive aura and genuine enthusiasm are so contagious that you feel supported and inspired from the very first moment. I particularly liked that there was no noticeable distance between her and the participants. Elke was incredibly approachable, took the time to lovingly answer every question and really paid attention to each individual. An experience that has touched me deeply and that I can wholeheartedly recommend to everyone. 🌿💛

Elke bietet für mich die perfekten Yogakurse an. Selten gibt es Yogalehrer, die so viele Aspekte des Yoga aufgreifen und in inspirierende, fordernde und gleichzeitig erdende Kurse einfließen lassen können. Egal ob im Kurs-Setting oder im Retreat, Elke hält den Raum mit ihrer positiven, ehrlichen und sympathischen Art und holt dabei alle versteckten Seiten aus einem selbst heraus. Ihre Kurse inspirieren zur eigenen Weiterentwicklung, und auch wenn es mal hart wird, danach fühle ich mich zu 100 % besser. Zusätzlich weiß ich, dass ich bei Elke in sicheren Händen bin, wenn es um Assisting und Adjustments geht.

For over 5 years I have been attending Elke's yoga classes and am still enthusiastic. Her classes are varied, dynamic, challenging and at the same time feel like you are hugging yourself. I always learn something new about myself, my body and the theory of yoga practice. Elke has great respect for yoga and the people she teaches. This is noticeable in the classes, they are serious and yet humor is never neglected. Elke's classes offer an absolute safe space where everyone can arrive as they feel. I would recommend everyone to attend one of Elke's classes or retreats and see for themselves the wonderful atmosphere.

The days at the yoga retreat with Elke in Italy were invaluable to me. Elke radiates a wonderful calm and at the same time manages to bring powerful energy into every session. This combination makes her work so special. The retreat was truly magical - and I'm already looking forward to the next time.

I have attended two of Elke's retreats so far, and both times I found exactly the mix of lightness, mindfulness, peace, and strength I was looking for. For me, Elke embodies the connection of strength and lightness in a very special way. Her humor, her warm demeanor, and her clear words provide the perfect framework for the physical challenges in her classes. She manages to remind me of my playfulness, and after her classes, I often feel like I can achieve anything. These experiences and her words accompany me even off the mat and long after the retreats. I'm already looking forward to the next one!
