I pour my heart and soul into crafting my retreats. Each retreat is uniquely and carefully designed, from its location, programs, and extra activities. They are fruits of the beautiful meetings and collaborations with loving friends from all over the world. Whatever it is that is calling you to retreat, I am thrilled to give you the best I have to offer, and sharing these wonderful experiences with you.

Come join me on this journey and adventure.

  • Retreats with Mie are always good for the soul. They hit the prefect balance of yoga as well as time to relax and disconnect from the world. I will definitely be back for a 3rd retreat soon. Thank you as always for offering such an amazing service.

  • “Coming Home” was the perfect name for this retreat, as it brought me into a state of being that truly felt like home, regardless of the fact that I had never been to Zanzibar. Mie’s gentle yet challenging guidance through the practices led us all into a deeper awareness of ourselves, and the space allowed for deeper connections between the participants than I had imagined possible in just 6 days. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone. 💛

  • I have had three retreats with Mie. Both in the paradisiacal island of Zanzibar. These experiences were filled with nurturing classes, yummy food, entrancing music and newly minted lifelong friendships. The end of retreats were scheduled to coincide with the start of Sauti za Busara, an international African music festival, making this a perfect yin yang of zen and folly. I can't wait for the next retreat. Thanks, Mie!

    James from Montréal

  • Sessions with Mie were physically, mentally and soul invigorating. A wonderful opportunity to share time with old friends and a great opportunity to meet and make new friends from all over the world. All in all a memorable experience to hopefully be repeated.

  • I loved being at Mie’s retreat – the yoga was amazing and truly relaxing place to be at. Mie is a bright shining star who shares her light with all of us.

  •  I’ve met extraordinary people. And Mie was a really good, kind, enthusiastic, and empathetic teacher. Really hope to practice with her again in the future

  • I loved the inter-connected, and themed yoga classes. The diversity of every class – never tried that many different yoga poses before! The sea view, breeze, and the buffet were amazing.
