Our Story
Elena is a Dutch-born yoga teacher and wellness guide who has spent the last decade living between the Netherlands and the Spanish islands. After years in the corporate world, a transformative trip to Ibiza changed everything — she discovered yoga not as exercise, but as a path back to herself.
Trained in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin yoga (500-hour RYT, Yoga Alliance certified), Elena has taught hundreds of students across Europe. Her teaching style blends dynamic movement with deep stillness, always grounded in authenticity and warmth.
Elena founded Aluna Yoga Retreats to share the transformative power of yoga in the places that inspire her most — and to create a community of people who believe that slowing down is the bravest thing you can do.
In the language of the Kogi people of Colombia, "Aluna" refers to the cosmic consciousness — the invisible force that shapes the material world. It loosely translates to "come here, moon" — an invitation to honor the subtle, the cyclical, and the sacred in everyday life.
We believe yoga should adapt to you — not the other way around. Our classes meet you where you are, whether you come to move, to rest, or to simply breathe.
The best yoga happens in the most beautiful places. We choose our locations not for their luxury, but for their ability to reconnect you with the natural world.
We keep groups small and intentional. Every retreat and event is designed to foster genuine connection — with yourself and with others.
Whether you join a retreat or an event, here's what guides everything we do.
No handstands required. Our teachers offer variations for every body and every level. You'll never feel out of place.
Our retreats include meditation, breathwork, sound healing, nature excursions, and nourishing meals — a truly holistic experience.
We build in plenty of free time. No packed schedules. Your retreat is yours — to rest, explore, or simply sit with the view.
Elena is a Yoga Alliance registered teacher (500-hour RYT) with additional training in Yin yoga, trauma-sensitive yoga, and sound healing. Aluna Yoga Retreats is a registered business in the Netherlands (KvK).
