Lia Muczenski, Ericeira

Sometimes you just know, or feel rather, that you are just right where you need to be. I arrived at Ellen's Relax & Restore retreat with a strong desire of 'me time'. I have met Ellen already a few years ago were she shared her ideas with me of creating a Yoga Retreat focusing on stress relief, self-empowerment, slowing down & nourishment. It was the simplicity and beauty of this idea combined with the brightness in her eyes talking what her deepest heart desire is that struck me and made me remember when I most needed it. So I followed this call.

Yin & Restorative Yoga as well Yoga Nidra is not my strongest side as I tend to go for strenuous and vigorous practices and I love them. But Ellen´s voice makes you relax and simply follow her suggestions had made this so easy for me. I feel Ellen does everything to make you feel comfortable and I was very touched by her kindness, authenticity, pureness and her availability to just be there for you. I felt secure in the safe environment that she created with her knowledge and warm-hearted being. After a month back home I still feel the impact and my heart keeps on smiling. Thank you Ellen for a wonderful time. - Lia Muczenski
