Shiva Yoga Retreats

Experiência fantástica: Shiva house is an amazing place offering great experience and nice, comfortable spot to stay. Silvia run great classes and listen her students. I spent almost one week with Silvia experiencing different kind of classes: hatha yoga, restorative yoga or wing yoga. Silvia is a great soul and open to share. The location itself is amazing and peaceful with perfect ocean view and easy access to main roads to travel all around the island.

Experiência fantástica: I joined Hatha, wing and kundalini for one week and I can tell Silvia is the most knowledgeable Yoga teacher I’ve ever met. She is very attentive at what every individual in her classes does, and makes sure you make the most of your practice. She lives and breathes yoga, and this shows when she’s teaching. Groups are small, and the atmosphere and setting is great. Let alone the great sunset view over the ocean if you choose to join one of her evening classes! Make sure you try wing yoga for an extra challenge to your balance and strength. Would also highly recommend her private classes.

Experiência fantástica: Silvia is a great, profesional and kind yoga teacher and I was enjoying each aerial yoga class with her in Madeira during my stay. Thanks to her I lso discovered how to properly do mandalas painting on stone. I am now still incorporating this creative activity in my weekly/mostly routine. Definitely recommand her from the deep of my heart. You won't be disappointed.

Experiência fantástica: Im joining the Wing Yoga class regularly and I loved it from the first minute on. It just makes me feel great! Silvia is a fantastic teacher, she is kind, caring, supportive, empowering and very attentive. I've tried many sports. Believe me when I say that Wing Yoga is truly extraordinary. Not only because of the swing, but because of the fact that all these amazing positive effects on your body and mind continue for hours afterwards. During the training you experience phases of strengthening, relaxation, stretching and fun and to me this is the perfect combination. You feel light, empowered, strong and relaxed at the same time. It is about letting go, accepting the challenge, having fun and trying new things. To make it short: Wing Yoga with Shiva Yoga Retreats = Pure happiness! You should definitely give it a try!

Experiência fantástica: Im April 2022 habe ich an einer wunderbar wohltuenden Retreat von Silvia gemeinsam mit Alexandra auf Ischia teilgenommen. Es waren intensive und ausgewogene Yogastunden. Die Balance zwischen Kraft und Anstrengung einerseits und Entspannung und Ruhe andererseits war perfekt. Auch jetzt, eine Woche nach der Retreat fühlt sich mein Körper angenehm gestärkt und ausgeglichen. Danke, Silvia für deine herzenswarme und kompetente Begleitung. Auch die Einzelstunde bei dir hat so gut getan. Das Wing Yoga hat Spaß gemacht und war eine tolle neue Erfahrung. Danke auch an Alexa für ihre ruhige und sensible Begleitung. Ich freue mich, bald zu einem weiteren Retreat zu dir, Silvia, nach Madeira zu kommen.

Experiência fantástica: Silvia Shiva is an amazing teacher and mentor. I recently completed the aerial/Wing yoga Teacher Training with her and couldn't be more pleased and satisfied! I truly feel it was an incredible experience and one I will always cherish. Silvia is a super talented and professional teacher who absolutely knows what she's doing. She came across clear, knowledgable, and passionate, imparting all her skills and words of wisdom on to us. I could really feel her love for Wing Yoga and all her years of experience through her guidance. I went into the training with few expectations, but when I finished I was so grateful to have received such a full and well rounded education, not only with the use and ways of the swing, but especially surrounding my own confidence and voice within teaching in general. Silvia was great at focusing on the practical side of learning the sequences and to be comfortable within the swing fully. We spent so much valuable time actually practicing and learning to facilitate that I felt ready to teach on my own after the course in a fun, safe, and knowledgeable way. I felt so enthusiastic, inspired, and deeply stimulated each day and that is due to Silvia's kind, powerful, and beautiful personality, demeanor, and the way she taught. I highly recommend Silvia Shiva and am so happy I could attend this training in magical Madeira. A dream come true and a huge accomplishment. Thank you so much, your'e amazing and I had a blast!!!

Experiência fantástica: Ein magischer Kraftort zum Aufladen mit Blick über das Meer und auf den Cristo Rei. Silvia ist die authentischste Yogalehrerin, die ich je getroffen habe. Ihre Liebe und Energie sind ansteckend! Die verschiedenen Yogastile werden von ihr sehr präzise angeleitet. Silvia erkennt immer, was ihre SchülerInnen brauchen. Grazie mille!

Experiência fantástica: Ich habe im März mein 50 Stunden Wing Yoga Training bei Shiva Yoga Retreats absolviert und war begeistert. Ich kann es wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Silvia hat ihre langjährige Erfahrungen als Yoga Lehrerin und Wing Yoga Lehrerin mit uns geteilt. Sie hat uns sehr professionell ihr Wissen, ihre eigenen Erfahrungen und die Genauigkeit auf die es beim Wing Yoga zu achten gilt, vermittelt. Sie war dabei immer mit den Herzen dabei und hat uns Einblicke in ihre Anfänge als Wing Yogaleherin geben können, die mir persönlich als Yogalehrerin sehr weiterhelfen werden. Der Spaß kam definitiv auch nicht zu kurz. Es war eine gute Mischung aus eigener Praxis, inneres Kind ausleben und professionelles Unterrichten lernen. Es hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht und ich nehme fachlich, als auch menschlich sehr viel mit in meinen weiteren Weg als Yogalehrerin. Vielen Dank. Namaste

Experiência fantástica: Sylvia vous accueille dans sa maison avec une très belle vue sur l'océan. J'ai fait un cours privé d'une heure. Et je me suis sentie privilégiée. J'ai pu voyager grâce à elle. C'est une prof expérimentée qui sait ajuster, corriger et s'adapter au pratiquant. Elle m'a redonné envie de faire du yoga régulièrement et de repartir en Inde. Merci Sylvia

Experiência fantástica: Gong war fantastisch

Experiência fantástica: Thank you Silvia for the best yoga stay ever :) It was amazing to do a different yoga practice every day with your loving and kind energy. The atmosphere at your villa was so relaxing, and felt like home. It was just perfect for me and I really needed to connect with myself again. The Gong session was amazing, no wonder why everyone wanted to stay longer and share feelings and thoughts. I highly recommend your yoga stay with amazing ocean view, beach near the house, shoes and everything needed in walking distance. I thank you from my heart and I wish to come back with my friends to share the experience. Much love and a big hug from me

Experiência fantástica: I had a pleasure to participate in group classes as well as having private classes. Silvia is an amazing teacher: very caring and welcoming. For the private classes she immediately figured the way that suited me the most. She explains everything very well and very gently points what to improve. After the two weeks of Yoga with Silvia I felt so much better physically and mentally. Definitely will come back to Madeira to have more classes. Big thanks and gratitude

Experiência positiva: We had the absolute joy and privilege of having the lovely Sylvia lead our recent retreat in the Santa Maria Manuela tall ship out of Funchal in Madeira recently. She is a pure yogi, kind in spirit and soft in voice with a beautiful soul. She led us through many different yoga styles, postures, asanas and breathing techniques with obvious experience and care. Kundalini is not my favourite, and perhaps not the most ideal choice for an opening class with many beginners, for whom it was a bit overwhelming, which is my only reason for dropping one star. I gladly give her 5*s for everything else though as every other class was just wonderful. Sylvia is a great teacher and highly recommended ‍♀️

Experiência fantástica: Well, where to begin! From the moment I arrived at Casa Shiva and met Silvia I felt right at home. My time here was very special, so much so that I ended up extending my stay for another week! I hadn’t experienced wing or kundalini yoga before but Silvia was there to gently guide me. She was clear in her instructions and gently moved my body into the correct position if needed. Silvia is an experienced teacher, clear and concise, yet helpful and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of yoga and learnt a lot at Casa Shiva, not just about yoga but how to breathe correctly and I learnt about myself. I connected with Silvia on an emotional level, she helped me start my healing process, for that I’ll be forever grateful! We spent many an hour talking about our travels and looking through our travel photos. The accommodation was perfect, clean, spacious and felt like home. The view was absolutely stunning. The location was peaceful and very close to Cristo Rei and Praia do Garajau for swimming and snorkelling. I fell in love with Foxy, he’s the most adorable dog. Thank you Silvia for everything! You are a beautiful person and a friend for life! Namaste
