7-Day Thermal Retreat for Women
The Power of Letting Go
18-24 April 2026 | Bansko, Bulgaria
Release.
Reset.
Come home to yourself.
There comes a moment when holding on feels heavier than letting go.
“The Power of Letting Go” is a 7-day immersive retreat for women ready to slow down, soften, and reconnect.
This is not about doing more.
It’s about creating space.
Space to breathe.
Space to feel.
Space to listen.
In a small, supportive group of 16 women, you’ll have the time and safety
to rest deeply, gain clarity, and return home to yourself — renewed, grounded, and open.

Rest & Nature
Spacious time between sessions for walking, journaling, napping, or simply being.

Warm, grounding food shared in community.
A space to feel cared for and supported.
Beneath the busyness, the responsibility, the constant holding it all together… there’s a quieter truth: you’re ready to soften.
The Power of Letting Go is your permission slip — to release the pressure, to step out of performance, to loosen your grip on what no longer serves you.
Imagine waking without urgency.
Breathing without heaviness.
Feeling safe enough to lay down the invisible armor you’ve been carrying.
Letting go isn’t about losing control.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
And from that place — everything begins to shift.

YOUR HOSTS: MASHA & DANIELLE
Two Women Devoted to Creating Deeply Held, Transformative Spaces
Our journeys began in different corners of the world — living and working internationally, immersed in diverse cultures and perspectives.
Trained in India and shaped by years of global experience, we discovered a simple truth:
When a woman feels safe, supported, and truly seen — she softens.
She reconnects.
She remembers who she truly is.
Together, we bring over a decade of experience in yoga, holistic health, embodiment practices, and transformational retreat leadership.
We blend ancient wisdom with modern life — depth with structure, intuition with grounded presence.
“The Power of Letting Go”
This is not simply a retreat we facilitate.
It is a space we intentionally craft —
with care, devotion, and heart.
DANIELLE
Danielle is curious, adventurous, and a free spirit. She loves inspiring others and creating space for them to feel at home in their own skin.
Yoga has guided Danielle’s life for over a decade — not simply as movement, but as a path inward. Trained in traditional ashrams in Kerala and Maharashtra and returning regularly to India, she teaches authentic Hatha Yoga thoughtfully adapted for modern life. She is an experienced practitioner of sound healing, having trained with multiple teachers and integrating this practice into her sessions to support deeper relaxation and transformation.
Before dedicating herself fully to this path, Danielle spent years in the corporate world, working with international brands and global teams. This experience refined her sense of structure, clarity, and leadership — qualities she now weaves into her offerings to create intentional spaces where depth and direction coexist.
Having lived in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Russia, Alaska (USA), and Costa Rica, Danielle carries an international perspective shaped by cultural exchange and curiosity. Riding motorbikes and exploring new landscapes became another expression of her love for freedom and self-trust. Today, she lives between Düsseldorf, Germany, and Burgas, Bulgaria, creating soulful spaces where women can slow down, reconnect, and return home to themselves.
MASHA
Masha is a woman: happy, fulfilled, and in love with life. A wife and a mother of two beautiful children.
Yoga has shaped Masha’s life for over a decade — not simply as a practice, but as a path of deep transformation. After years of personal practice, she felt a calling to go deeper and traveled to India, spending time in the sacred town of Rishikesh. There, she completed multiple yoga teacher trainings and deepened her understanding of yoga as a living, embodied practice.
Alongside yoga, Masha is an experienced practitioner of holistic health, exploring nutrition, self-healing, and non-medical approaches to restoring balance. She is a certified Health Coach and integrates modalities such as women’s circles, aromatherapy, sound healing, and art therapy to create deeply embodied and transformative retreat experiences.
Born in Ukraine, Masha has traveled to more than 75 countries, connecting with people from many cultures and bringing openness, curiosity, and a global perspective into her work. She loves creating soulful spaces where women can pause, explore, and reconnect with themselves. Today, she lives by the sea in Bulgaria, designing retreats that help women slow down, remember their inner strength, and return to their own light.
WHAT OUR GUESTS AND STUDENTS SAY:
"Dani’s Program is a magical experience — I’m so happy to be part of it! I fall asleep easily, feel balanced and in harmony, and look forward to every Monday. After just the second session, I felt like I started attracting positive events into my life, and a financial flow opened up. Cashiers ask me for ID even though I’m almost 30 🥰"
"I’ve attended both Dani’s sound therapy practices and her chakra course. Every time, the practice is conducted with great sensitivity, gentleness, and care. Dani is someone who truly listens and can subtly tune into another person’s state.
In her space, you feel calm and completely safe. It’s as if you return to yourself — to your body and your breath.
It’s truly a deep experience. Thank you 🙏"
"An extraordinary experience! Dani’s program changed the way I feel my energy and my connection with myself. She explains things clearly, with great gentleness and wisdom. The atmosphere is calm, supportive, and full of light.
I learned so much about the body, emotions, and energy centers — I feel more balanced, peaceful, and strong.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dani’s program to anyone who wants to take a step toward deeper self-awareness and inner harmony. 🧘♀️✨"
"I’m someone who doesn’t like sports, whose mind is constantly racing with a million thoughts and anxiety taking over — but in Dani’s yoga classes, I feel the whole world slow down. My breath calms through her professional and human care and attentiveness. In her sessions, you don’t just come for exercise, but for therapy for the body and mind. I highly recommend it to everyone!!!"
"Dani, I want to thank you so much 💛
Your classes always create a special state: calmness, warmth, and the feeling that I am in safe hands. You explain everything so clearly and gently that it makes me want to try even more. Thanks to you, I’ve started to feel my body better and have grown to love yoga even more.
Thank you for your energy, support, and the warm atmosphere in every practice. Practicing with you is a true pleasure! 🙏"
