Identity

Story

It was in the tranquil woods of Lithuania, by a frozen lake, that my vision began to take shape: a retreat combining yoga, ice baths and exquisite cuisine.

Central to this vision is the collaboration with inspiring teachers and experts in the fields of yoga, ice baths, breathwork, sound baths, sauna rituals and gastronomy. These passionate professionals infuse the retreats with a powerful energy, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and motivation.

The greatest benefit of a retreat is the group experience. The sense of community that develops as participants share stories, experiences and laughter is magical. This connection enriches the retreat, making it as much about individual growth as it is about collective joy and support.

So that's how it all started for me - organising retreats! It was in the quiet, snowy landscape of Lithuania that I found my calling. It is my deepest wish that every person who participates in our retreats feels this magic and returns home strengthened and inspired.

A huge thank you to my friends, family and team for their unwavering support and belief in me.

All my love,
Nives

Fabienne Yoga Teacher

My fascination with the body's physical expression began in childhood as a competitive rhythmic gymnast. In 2017, I turned to yoga after a personal loss, seeking acceptance. Since then, I've completed over 750 hours of Yoga Alliance registered trainings in various styles and am recognized as an RYT-500h Yoga Alliance teacher. The spiritual teachings and mind-body connection of yoga continue to inspire me on this journey. I teach yoga in a way that makes it accessible to everyone and can be tailored to your needs, ensuring a versatile and enriching experience for all. "In yoga, my aim is to craft an inspiring space brimming with joy and transformation. Teaching allows me to offer you the chance to delve deep within yourself and realize your greatness. Wherever you are on your yoga journey, I'm here to provide support." Link Fabienne

Disclaimer

We would like to remind you that, as with any health practice, it's important to approach the ice bath and breathwork in a safe manner and to consult a medical professional. This is particularly important if you have any pre-existing health conditions or if you are pregnant. Ice baths and any other related activities are at your own risk. You should only do it if you feel healthy and fit.

But we are here for you, so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Nives

Eventmanager and Founder of Ice and Yoga Retreats

I have always loved the feeling after a good yoga session and the invigorating sensation of a dip in icy water. These experiences bring me immense joy and satisfaction.

My journey began with a degree in Hotel Management in Lucerne, Switzerland. For many years, I worked as an event manager, organizing a wide range of events and attending many retreats myself.

This year, I also started as a "safe-space" holder at Keen Wellbeing, where I help participants get into the ice bath. Combining my personal passions with my professional expertise, I am dedicated to creating unforgettable retreats.

Using my background in hospitality and event management, I design experiences that leave participants feeling recharged and inspired.

It gives me great joy to see people happy and fulfilled, whether it's after an invigorating ice bath or a delicious meal.
I can't wait to meet you! Love, Nives
