SACRED EARTH YOGA RETREAT
Where Earth Heals and the Soul Awakens
Seven Day Retreat in Tryavna Bulgaria | 9 Jun – 15 Jun 2025
Set in the heart of rural Bulgaria, Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat is a week-long event designed to restore balance, deepen your connection to nature, and realign your soul.
Nestled in the midst of nature the retreat aims to reconnect you with Mother Earth, grounding your energy and soothing your nervous system from the demands of daily life. By establishing our sacred connection to the Earth we are able to come closer to our soul’s essence and to realign with our purpose.
Hosted by RisingSoul Community our retreat takes place in mid-June, when the sun shines bright and the days are warm and inviting, this is a time when the land is at its most abundant and fertile. Nature overflows with fresh fruit and vibrant vegetables, and the season of strawberries and cherries fills the air with sweetness.
This retreat is more than just an escape; it is a return to your essence. A space to breathe, move, heal, and reconnect with the wisdom of nature.
Come and experience the magic of Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat —where the earth holds you, the river renews you, as your soul awakens!

Not only does she know how to perform each asana to perfection but she has in depth knowledge of how the chakras are connected and the benefits of activating them. Her love and passion for yoga transpire in every way through her teaching and personality‘

‘Evelina is very knowledgeable and comes with a vast amount of experience The softness in her voice really made me feel calm during the yoga & meditation sessions. I have never experienced yoga & meditation on a sailing boat. I would highly recommend this type of retreat. Loved every minute of it!‘

Sarah Lauri, 14 Jul 2024
‘We had a wonderful weekend at the Coach House practicing Yoga & Art with Albena & Evelina. It was a wonderful opportunity to relax, move & create and spendtime with a group of like-minded yogis. The setting was perfect – a woanderful space in the countryside, with separate rooms for yoga, art and socialising, everybody was able to socialise or take some time away in another area and relax.
The sessions were very thoughtfully put together and varied throughout the weekend, we danced, chanted, meditated, laughed, reflected, walked, created, sang. We had brunch in the garden and an Art & Yoga session in the sunshine.
Thank you ladies for a wonderful weekend, I can’t wait to do it all again soon!’
(Yoga & Art Retreat, Jul 2024 Bridgnorth, UK)
Tom Evans, 11 Apr 2024
‘It was a wondrous and enjoyable event that really helped me reset an over-energised nervous system and helped me focus on the light, on the breath, on the real fundamentals of life. Highly recommended.’

Rocio Leon, 1 Aug 2024
‘A wonderful weekend escape where I connected with like-minded people and nurtured my body, mind and soul with mindfulness and creative practices of yoga and art. The Yoga and Art retreat with Evelina and Albena was nestled in the picturesque Coach House, a natural venue, making it a standout choice for those seeking a holistic experience.
For me, Evelina and Albena are a brilliant dynamic duo, and their friendship creates an atmosphere of warmth, love, and positive energy.
Their well-prepared sessions seamlessly integrate yoga and art, exploring creativity and opening the mind to new practices.
It was filled with insightful moments, laughter, meaningful rituals, dance, and music, all contributing to a holistic experience. Evelina and Albena’s delicious meals are served lovingly, nurturing open conversations and spontaneous moments of joy. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you, Gracias, Namaste.‘
