This retreat offers an opportunity to step back from the pace of daily life and dive deeper into your yoga practice. Blending yoga and sound healing with other therapeutic experiences like imaginations, bodywork, compassion- focused meditations, mindfulness practices, silent internentions and collective digital detox experiments, the retreat encourages you to explore and discover new aspects of yourself. Together, we will try to create a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, exchange perspectives, reflect and step out from old, unhelpful patterns, and open up to new paths. You’ll find support to also allow and process difficult, neglected emotions, needs and to feel comfortable showing your authentic self.

 Set in the serene Har en Mar in Ibiza, the retreat is also a space to connect with nature, soak up sun, swim, and recharge in a peaceful setting, allowing you to unwind, decompress, and disconnect from the digital world. You’ll have the opportunity to nourish your body with wholesome food, relax by the beach, and rejuvenate.

Whether you’re here to deepen your yoga practice, connect more with your mind and body, or to treat yourself with a unique time away from day-to-day life, this retreat offers the perfect setting to reflect, explore and rest.

HAR en MAR
Har en Mar is an old typical Finca located in a valley in the area of Cala Salada in Ibiza. It’s sunny and quiet. Between olive trees and fresh flowers, alongside shadowy, relaxing places, there is ground for yoga and cushions to drink cold detoxing juices.

 The Finca comes with its own garden, where fruits and vegetables are grown to be used for the nourishing food. Beaches like Sandy Cala Saladeta or the rocks of Punta Galera are reachable within minutes.

This Finca offers a simple life, still caring for the detail to make it special. A minimalistic, morrocan- influenced interior decorates the space, the small terraces and sitting areas.

Your hosts - Sven Briken & Saura Elise

Sven & Saura opened SVERA studio in July 2024.

Their intention is to blend yoga with therapeutic experiences to offer a path to self-discovery and holistic well-being. Yoga nurtures the body and calms the mind, while therapeutic explorations address the deeper emotional and psychological aspects of our inner world. Together, they create a synergistic experience that fosters balance, self-awareness, and healing on multiple levels.

In the retreat setting, we are able to dive into practices more deeply than is typically possible in our normal hourly sessions. We hope to create an environment where one feels curious to explore themselves with tools that have shown to be helpful.

We look forward to having you with us :)

Saura Elise
With 800 hours of training in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, Saura brings a well-rounded understanding of yoga practice to her teaching. She completed her foundational studies through three in-depth trainings and further refined her skills during a six-month apprenticeship with instructor Miriam Iannone. In addition to her yoga expertise, Saura is trained in Thai Massage and recently pursued a gong training, allowing her to offer a more holistic approach to bodywork and sound healing.

Saura’s teaching emphasizes alignment, safety, and a strong foundation of yogic anatomy. With a background as Musician, she has a special focus on the interaction of Yoga movement and sound atmosphere. She is committed to creating an accessible, inclusive environment, where every student can feel supported and curious. Since beginning her teaching path several years ago in Berlin, she has cultivated a space where students can explore their practice with confidence and care.

In July 2024, Saura co-founded SVERA, a yoga studio on Ohmstraße, alongside her colleague Sven Briken, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Together, they aim to blend mental health and bodywork, fostering a space for holistic well-being. Beyond the studio, Saura hosts retreats, providing opportunities for deeper connection and practice.

Saura is currently teaching regularly at SVERA, HAR studio and INNER SOUND by HAR.
