About us

We design time-outs that feel credible and work: for people who take health seriously, and for companies that take responsibility.

On-site course lead

Who leads the seminars on Gran Canaria

All movement, breath and mindfulness units are led by a certified teacher who lives and teaches in Las Palmas. She coordinates the seminar week and places participants with local specialists for hiking, surfing, padel, climbing and fasting — each with their own documented qualifications.

Sasha Ilina

Certified yoga and movement-therapy instructor · Course lead and on-site coordinator

Sasha teaches Hatha Vinyasa yoga in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria — weekly on Las Canteras beach, evenings at sunset and Saturday mornings. She specialises in beginners: clear instruction, no acrobatic postures, a calm setting. Alongside the open classes she runs community formats such as “Yoga & Brunch” and “Yoga & Aperitivo” and cacao ceremonies on El Confital beach, and her YouTube channel IKIYOGA offers more than 180 free sessions on yoga, mobility, posture and meditation. In the Auszeit seminars she leads the movement, breath and mindfulness units and coordinates the week on site: timetable, venues and placement with vetted partners for hiking, surfing, padel (Carlos Calle / Padel Camp), climbing and fasting support.

What you can measure our seminars against

01
Documented objectives and daily structure
Every seminar has a published agenda with at least six teaching units per day — the basis of any Bildungsurlaub recognition.
02
Certified leadership
Yoga, movement and meditation units are led exclusively by certified staff. We provide proof of qualifications to HR departments on request.
03
Beginner-friendly, no performance pressure
No format requires prior experience. Exertion is dosed individually; fasting and water formats have clear participation requirements.
