Heal your mind, body and spirit
Ongoing Retreats
Our retreats are all about removing yourself from your day-to-day life and struggles to take the time to rebalance, refocus on yourself and to revitalize your life like a much needed "breath of fresh air" or "shot of life back in your life." We understand how easy it is for people to become caught up in trying to survive and fulfilling so many obligations in their lives, but over time this wears down the mind, body and spirit causing a variety of problems such as feeling constantly tired, sad, lack of motivation, stuck or "trapped," anxious and unable to relax, irritable, sleep problems, health issues and the list goes on and on. On the surface, many people have everything they thought they wanted from life (ie, job, house, car, marriage or relationship, kids, etc.) but in fact, are still feeling a deep sense of dissatisfaction and emptiness-- uninspired and completely disconnected from who they really are.
What can I say when "truly amazing" doesn't even seem to fit the experience I have had. I was very nervous about coming and never had been away on my own before. I knew I needed to relax and some help but I didn't know how... Tania and Lucas are both truly amazing people and made me feel at ease from the
Tania and Lucas are both truly amazing people and made me feel at ease from the moment they met me at the airport. They welcomed me into their home and put me at ease giving me a safe environment and the tools to explore and find myself. Most important they taught me how to love myself, be at peace and just have fun and be happy. I have not laughed so long and so hard for quite some time! I consider my expectations well and truly surpassed. I can thoroughly recommend Lotus Village for anyone who needs to get away and have some rest and relaxation or for someone who is looking for help and guidance on how to be happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better.

Transformational program
This retreat has been life-changing for me. It came at a point of cross-roads in my life and I could not have made a better decision. It has inspired me to pursue my dreams; it has challenged me to take the journey within even deeper; it has has allowed me to meet "family" away from home,
and it has rejuvenated my soul. I am filled with so much happiness and peace and my heart if over-flowing with gratitude for Tania and Lucas. I loved their energy and company. The one-on-one sessions were inspiring and helpful. The food was amazing and the scenery breathtaking.

That's where it becomes crucial to disconnect from the routines we are used to and to begin a process of reconnection with what we need. To stop the business and robotic manner in which we live, and to take the time to look at how our lives are serving our underlying needs, dreams and desires. Ultimately, finding a way to incorporate real and profound changes into your life so that you can live an authentic, inspired, balanced and joyful life.
To do this, we have created our signature retreat which is a unique and comprehensive retreat program that addresses your mind, body and spirit through a variety of healing approaches, practices and exercises. We have created an environment and weekends specifically focused on nurturing, revitalizing and supporting you in beginning to rediscover who you are and what you need. Through our activities, one-on-one healing session and informal coaching you will receive physical and emotional healing to support and move you forward in your life.

Our Yoga
While there are many different styles of yoga that all offer valuable opportunities to learn and grow, here at Lotus Village, we utilize a combination of Hatha, Restorative and Yoga Therapy to teach you not only the physical aspects of the yoga asanas, but also the philosophy of yoga as well and the wisdom of this ancient method of self-inquiry. And to better illustrate the concepts of yoga, each day there will be a particular theme for the class such as, mindfulness, compassion, empowerment, grounding, etc. that you will learn about and focus on practicing through the meditation, pranayama and asanas. This helps to not only better organize your practice, but it also gives a structure to begin understanding how to integrate your practice into your day-to-day life, rather than simply experiencing a series of asanas that feel random and purely fitness oriented.
Our yoga is taught by certified yoga instructor and holistic therapist, Tania Manczarek, and is accessible to all levels whether you're a newbie, a beginner or you've been practicing for some time. Everything is explained so that you feel confident and relaxed each step of the way, making it easier to connect to the practice, understand the philosophy and learn the correct posture alignments. The Hatha and Restorative styles of the physical yoga practice are done slowly focusing on learning how to do the postures correctly, while using different props and adjustments for your body and level of skill. This way, each person can practice according to their physical ability and what feels right for them.
Our Transformational Coaching Sessions
I stayed 5 days with Tania and Lucas for a Transformational Retreat. A simple holiday with yoga and meditation experience turned out to be an amazing journey of self-discovery, development and spiritual renewal. It totally exceeded my expectation and I felt so lucky and privileged to have
chosen this retreat. Tania helped me to identify the real need of my body, my energy and gave me tools that I can use and continue to practice in my post-retreat life. Lucas guided me though some of the essential issues I have in my life and showed me the possibilities and different ways to deal with them. Tania and Lucas made themselves available and mentally present for me when I needed their advice or to express myself. I felt myself reconnected to my body, mind and soul. Thank you Tania and Lucas.

a magical combination: beautiful scenery, skilful and compassionate support, delicious, vegetarian food and everything was encompassed with love. You made me feel at home, the "home" which we all should have. The one that makes you feel protected, whole and connected to your true self.
A life changing experience. I feel as if I'm a new person and can't wait to share what I've learned with friends and family. Thank you for helping me find peace with myself. I feel more confident with who I am and truly feel capable of anything I put my mind and effort into.
