Yana Marchenko
Master of the retreat, spiritual guide
Yana has been working with people for over 8 years, starting with teaching ballet to those who had never danced before. It was then she realized that dance is not just about movement but also about profound processes of the soul and mind. Today, she combines dance-movement practices, psychology, subconscious work, breathwork, yoga, and meditation to help people feel the love, light, and wholeness that are always accessible within.
Yana is also a certified ThetaHealing practitioner, helping to transform deep-seated blocks and reveal one’s true self. People often say that being around her brings a sense of inner peace, filled with love and clarity.
During the retreat, Yana will guide dance and Theta practices, as well as yoga warm up and meditation sessions. These will help you enter a resourceful state, reconnect with your true desires, and restore harmony with your body and soul.

Frequently Asked Questions
No special physical preparation is required to participate in the retreat — the most important thing is your desire to explore and take care of yourself. The program includes moderate activities: yoga warm-ups, dance practices, walks in parks, and visits to waterfalls. We will adapt the level of activity to each participant, ensuring you feel comfortable and enjoy the process. This retreat is not about pushing yourself but about gently returning to yourself and your body through movement and nature.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve practiced yoga or dance before — experience is not required. You can participate as much as you feel comfortable and skip practices that don't resonate with you. However, by trying something new and opening yourself to the process, you give yourself the opportunity to dive deeper into the retreat's atmosphere and experience its transformative effect. We adapt the practices so that every participant, regardless of experience, can feel their benefits and discover something new. Sometimes, the first step into the unknown becomes the beginning of something truly amazing.
We will all live together in a separate house for our group near the ocean.
The visa regime depends on your citizenship; it is best to check the information online in advance.
You will need light clothes for practices, comfortable clothes for walking, comfortable shoes and swimsuits for thermal springs and swimming in the ocean. All detailed information will be provided by the organizer.
Yes, there will be internet access at the retreat, and you will be able to stay connected if necessary. However, we recommend dedicating these 4 days entirely to yourself — finishing all important tasks in advance and minimizing external distractions. This is a time for your deep immersion, restoration, and reconnection with yourself, and we are confident that by allowing yourself to unplug from the hustle and bustle, you will get the most out of the retreat.
In June, the weather on São Miguel Island is very comfortable: the average air temperature is around 19.4°C, with minimum values around 17.8°C and maximums up to 21.1°C. June is one of the driest months of the year, and the average wind speed reaches 4.2 m/s, making it one of the calmest and most pleasant months to visit. However, we recommend bringing a raincoat or windbreaker just in case — the weather on the island can be quite unpredictable.
