About this Retreat
Before creating Eunoia, I spent years as a management consultant and brand strategist in the corporate world. Despite outward success, I found myself unfulfilled and saw how common anxiety, burnout, and disconnection had become.
Solo travel and yoga became my lifelines—tools for recharging, reconnecting, and discovering a deeper sense of purpose. Yoga opened a path to personal transformation, helping me break free from limiting beliefs and find the courage to pursue my dreams.
Eunoia was born from this journey, blending mindfulness, movement, and community to nurture holistic well-being and guide others on their own paths to self-discovery.
Sophia teaches a sensation-based and intuitive style of Vinyasa Yoga that integrates elements of free flow, storytelling and silence. Her classes offer a blend of exploring dynamic movements and longer posture holds to activate the strength of your body and mind. With the intention of guiding you on an inward journey, she encourages you to move out of your head and sink deeper into your body.
Having completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, Sophia has taught on the Oaxacan coast of Mexico and currently shares her practice at the White Door Studio in her home base Amsterdam.
The invitation is to come as you are! No matter if you are an experienced yogi or setting foot on the mat for the first time, Sophia welcomes you to play, flow, and above all, feel.
Details of this retreat
We often find ourselves in an endless pursuit of more, striving for the next goal without pausing to ask if it’s truly what we want. Over time, this disconnect can leave us feeling unfulfilled, no matter how much we achieve.
This retreat offers a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Guided by yogic philosophy and the koshas—the five layers of being—you’ll explore holistic practices, personal growth, and community support to release what holds you back and rediscover your true essence.
Set in a tropical sanctuary, this transformative experience invites you to step out of your comfort zone, connect deeply with yourself and others, and form bonds that inspire long after the retreat ends.
