The Earth to Soul Yoga Collective invites you to join a nourishing and soulful journey towards deeper healing, connection, and true authenticity. Our mission is to activate the transformative skills of individuals and groups to create more conscious, peaceful, and regenerative ways of living, relating & working. We unite people from around the world in retreats, classes, workshops and, sacred circles, or work more personally in 1-on-1 sessions (live or online) to transform the world from inside out. We humbly offer this important work by collaborating with people from different parts of the world and with various backgrounds in yoga, art, spirituality, science, engineering, sustainability, psychology, ancient healing methods, and nature-based education. We also aim at creating sustainable livelihoods by supporting local people and combining a wide range of knowledge bases from modern and ancient approaches towards self-healing and -development. Our retreats and workshops incorporate body work (i.e.yoga), breath work, meditation, mindfulness training, Ayurveda, fasting, dance, ancient healing ceremonies, constellation work, individual coaching, and deeply rooted nature-based practices.

WHAT WE BELIEVE. The people collaborating under the Earth to Soul Yoga collective strive for creating a deeper and more holistic experience by acknowledging that all suffering in the outer world starts from within. We believe that today’s ever-increasing mental and physical illnesses as well as our growing global environmental crisis are only external manifestations of a deeper, more fundamental disconnect. A disconnection from our true being, nature, other living beings, and the kind of things that actually bring us true joy and satisfaction. Today’s restless times mirror the detachment from our dharma (our life purpose). It seems that many of us have simply forgotten why we are on this Earth, or what we have come here for. So, it is not surprising that millions are wandering aimlessly, stressed, or feel dissatisfied with life, accompanied with this scary awareness of the fact that our modern way of life is unsustainable and destroying our planet - our entire life supporting system.

WHAT WE DO. The socio-ecological transformation towards a more sustainable, caring, and regenerative society holds an undeniable inner dimension. Held beliefs, values, mindsets, worldviews, paradigms, habits as well as one’s sense of self, place, and well-being influence how we relate, engage, and exist in this world. This is why our work at Earth to Soul Yoga aims at offering a safe space for strengthening the “transformative skills” of groups and individuals. Our transformative work is focused on empowering humans in:
ॐ discovering a deeper meaning and their unique purpose in life,
ॐclaiming their place in this world;
ॐ reconnecting to their unique gifts and vision to share with the world;
ॐ gaining personal insight through self-reflection and awareness;
ॐ developing a deeper connection to their bodies, others, and the natural world;
ॐ improving their communication skills and ability to listen & share from the heart;
ॐ establishing a mindset of possibility, openness, courage, and active engagement;
ॐ applying the necessary tools for self-care and inner healing;
ॐ nurturing their inner wisdom, kindness, mutual respect, humility, accountability, and value-based action
Our mission is to increase the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental well-being of people, so that everyone may reach one’s full potential and fulfill his or her dharma. Our work aims to give our students tools to ground themselves and to connect to their inner wisdom and loving heart, so that they can build more harmonious and loving relationships with themselves, others, and life itself. Through our work, we want to help transform the world from inside out.

WHAT WE ENVISION. We recognise that inner and outer transformation is a deeply personal, while at the same time co-creative journey. It is the path of a true warrior requiring each and every one of us to come home – to your true self and this beautiful adventure called life. Together we re-learn how to listen to the wisdom of Mother Earth, our bodies, hearts, and souls. On this healing pilgrimage, we honor our ancestral heritage, our deep interconnections with all living and non-living life forms, and especially our connection to Mother Earth — for she nurtures, heals, and orients us. The outer transformation towards more conscious, peaceful, and ecological ways of living, relating & working starts from within. This is what we want to support.
