YOU KNOW IT'S TIME

You've felt it for months. Maybe years. You function. You deliver. You succeed. Your calendar is full. Your inbox is managed. From the outside, everything looks fine.

But inside? You're exhausted. Not from lack of sleep, but from living a life that no longer fits. You've been running on autopilot for so long, you've forgotten what it feels like to actually breathe.

You're not broken. You're not failing. You're just crawling through life—instead of flying.
This is not a wellness retreat. This is a reset.

You're here because:

  • You're ready to stop pretending everything is fine
  • You want clarity, not another productivity hack
  • You're done with surface-level fixes
  • You know something needs to shift—and you're willing to do the work
  • You're looking for real change, not temporary relief

TWO WINGS ONE SYSTEM

One wing alone: You fall. Both together: You fly.

Roel teaching Hatha Yoga

HATHA YOGA

ROEL

Structure. Strength. Foundation.
The body is prepared.
The vessel is built.

Nina teaching Kundalini Yoga

KUNDALINI YOGA

NINA

Energy. Clarity. Activation.
What sleeps within, awakens.
What's blocked, becomes free.

THE DAILY RHYTHM

MORNING

Foundation

Hatha Yoga prepares the body. Strength. Stability. Capacity.

AFTERNOON

Activation

Kundalini awakens energy. Breathwork. Focus. Inner alignment.

EVENING

Integration

Clarity settles. The work integrates. You rest.

This cycle repeats every day for four days. Each day deepens what came before. By day four, you don't leave flying—you leave knowing you can.

WHY MADEIRA?

Because nature restores what modern life disturbs. Madeira holds all 4 elements in raw, powerful form — and when you step into them, something inside you realigns.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

✓ This fits:

  • You're ready to fully commit for 4 days
  • You want clarity, not distraction
  • You seek development, not entertainment
  • You're open to daily physical & energetic practice
  • You know: Now is the time

✗ This doesn't fit:

  • You're looking for a relaxed wellness weekend
  • You want to "see how it goes" without commitment
  • Daily yoga practice feels too intense
  • You need constant entertainment

We work with small groups. Therefore: Application required.
This isn't a marketing trick. This is quality control.
For you. For us. For the group.

TWO TEACHERS. TWO WINGS.

ONE SPACE.

Nina

NINA

Kundalini Yoga & Sound Healing

Born into a family of yoga teachers, Nina was introduced to the path of yoga at an early age through her mother's guidance. At 16, she discovered Kundalini Yoga — the beginning of a lifelong spiritual journey.

At 21, she completed intensive teacher training in London and went on to work closely within the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, further deepening her studies in India. After teaching in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Nina returned to Germany and joined Balance Yoga in Frankfurt, where she met Roel.

With more than 25 years of teaching experience and ongoing training with master teachers from various yogic lineages, Nina has become a respected expert in Kundalini Yoga, sound and crystal healing. Her spiritual exploration has led her to integrate multiple healing modalities into her work, creating a holistic and embodied approach to transformation.

Nina is certified in Kundalini Yoga (since 2001), Hatha Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Pranic Healing. Today, she leads 300+ hour Kundalini Yoga teacher trainings in partnership with a yoga studio in Germany.

A Kundalini Yoga teacher and Light Priestess, Nina now lives on Madeira Island, where she shares her passion for yoga, wellness, and spirituality. She is also a wellness advocate for essential oils, supporting people in discovering natural solutions for their health.

Roel

ROEL

Hatha Yoga & Pranayama

Roel is a 500-hour RYT Hatha Yoga teacher who began his teaching journey in 2014. Originally trained in Hong Kong and later completing his 500-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training in Tibet. His path into yoga grew from a background in data science and academia into a lifelong dedication to intelligent movement and conscious practice.

His teaching style is dynamic, progressive, and precise. With a strong focus on alignment and intelligent sequencing, Roel guides students to deepen their asana practice safely and sustainably. Inversions are one of his specialties — always introduced with clarity and care — offering students the opportunity to shift perspective, both physically and mentally.

Breathwork and yogic philosophy are woven seamlessly into his structured and thoughtfully designed classes. For Roel, every asana has a purpose. Every breath counts.

Holding a PhD in High Energy Particle Physics, he remains deeply curious about the intersection of yoga, science, and metaphysics — exploring how ancient wisdom and modern understanding inform and enrich one another.

He has shared his teaching in diverse environments, including corporate and research institutions such as the European Space Agency, bridging structured analytical thinking with embodied awareness.

Nina and Roel

TOGETHER

Our first meeting was in a yoga class — and it quickly became clear that our shared journey was just beginning. What started on the mat grew into a life together. Today, we are married, parents of two wonderful children, and partners in both love and purpose.

Yoga has remained a steady, grounding force in our lives. Beyond teaching, we also run a health-conscious kombucha business on Madeira, inspired by our passion for vitality, natural living, and spreading light in everyday ways. Whether through family life, conscious business, or guiding others on the mat, we are devoted to living what we share.

Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga. Yin and Yang. Masculine and feminine energies supporting and complementing one another — this special alchemy is what we bring into our retreats, creating a space where balance and depth can unfold. Each participant is invited to experience their very best.
