Kundalini fitness is a holistic approach to well-being that draws from Kundalini yoga principles. It involves dynamic movements, specific postures, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation. The practice aims to awaken and harness the energy within the body, known as Kundalini energy, to promote physical, mental, and spiritual balance.

During our 4 days together, we will encourage you to step into the vastness of the heart and all that it has been through up to that moment.

To set the foundation in the beginning of the retreat, we will work on a somatic level with Kundalini Yoga techniques, supported by specific practices of Yin and Hatha Yoga, in order to open the body, release emotional clutter and residue from our cells and reset our nervous system entirely. We will allow the purifying sound and the high frequencies of the Gong to continue the process of releasing, cleansing and healing.
The frequencies of the Gong Baths that are scheduled late in the evening create a profound experience as sound plays a major role throughout this four-day journey. It will support and complete our meditations to help us let go of the stagnant and stuck aspects of our subconscious mind, allowing for a full recovery and regeneration of our nervous system. The support of the Acupuncture sessions (2 individual sessions based on an initial consultation) will provide the proper support for your body to process things and speed up the healing. The Mandalas of Light will provide the key that will beautifully link all these practices together.

Anca – Doctor, Expert Vegan/Vegetarian Chef and owner Seed Cuisine, Bucharest
My story begins with six years of intense studies at the University of Medicine in Iași, where I gained solid knowledge and a passion for healthcare. I chose to dedicate over a decade to sales in the medical industry, thereby contributing to the healthcare system and accumulating valuable experience.
However, a transformative moment occurred during the maternity period, a time that afforded me the luxury to reflect on the direction in which I wanted to channel my energies and passions. Observing many mothers around me with children having various allergies and parents concerned about a cleaner diet for their little ones, I felt that I could contribute more meaningfully to the culinary world. With a longstanding vegetarian diet and a love for experimenting with various ingredient combinations, I began sharing the dishes I created with friends and family. Their appreciations inspired me to delve deeper into the world of plant-based ingredients and vegan cooking techniques. Wishing to bring a positive change to the lives of those around me, I decided to follow my passion and learn more about vegan cuisine. Enthusiastically, I took cooking and vegan chef courses, acquiring knowledge and skills that opened the door to a new adventure – Seed, my vegan or plant-based restaurant.
For me, a vegan lifestyle is not just a dietary choice but a series of conscious actions towards nature. This includes not only healthy and delicious food choices but also genuine care for animals, plants, and reducing the impact on the surrounding environment.
Thus, Seed was born, a place where passion for vegan cuisine meets a philosophy of conscious living. In every dish offered, you’ll find not only savory flavors but also a story of care for health, the environment, and, of course, the joy of savoring delicious and nutritious food.
The food I like to teach people to cook it’s an advocacy for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, as every taste and every action contributes to creating a community that joyfully embraces the beauty of a vegan life.
