Hatha training in 5 weekends
Our 50-hour training course offers a comprehensive introduction to the art of Hatha Yoga. The training takes place over 5 weekends. During this time, participants deepen their knowledge in the following areas:
- Practice and theory of asanas: Learning the correct alignment and understanding of physical postures.
- Pranayama: Introduction to various breathing techniques to promote vital energy.
- Meditation and Kriyas: Techniques for mental clarity and purification of the body.
- Teaching methodology: Structure of yoga classes, didactics and ethical principles of teaching.
- Anatomy and physiology: Understanding the body systems and specific yoga anatomy.
- Yoga philosophy: Insights into the origins of yoga and important scriptures such as the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita.
The curriculum
Hatha philosophy
The Hatha philosophy in yoga emphasizes the balance of opposites, especially the sun (masculine energy) and the moon (feminine energy), in order to achieve harmony and inner balance. In the course, you will learn how this philosophy influences daily life, the importance of contrasts such as activity and rest and how body, mind and soul are connected. The aim is to develop your own potential and lead a conscious, fulfilled life through balance.
Asanas & Anatomy
You will learn the importance of Asana (postures) and their influence on body and mind. Each posture promotes strength, structure and stability, while at the same time supporting inner balance.
A central component is the anatomy, which provides a deeper understanding of the body's structures. Topics such as muscles, joints, spine and fascia are covered to ensure safe and effective execution of the asanas. The connection between breathing and movement is also addressed.
This knowledge enables a mindful and conscious yoga practice that can be individually adapted to improve physical well-being in the long term.
Meditation & Breath (Pranayama)
meditation and Pranayama (breathing techniques) are essential practices that play a central role in yoga training. Meditation promotes mindfulness, inner peace and mental clarity and helps to calm the mind and expand consciousness.
Pranayama, The conscious control of the breath is a powerful tool for regulating life energy (prana). Through targeted breathing exercises, you learn to reduce stress, improve mental concentration and strengthen physical stamina.
This creates a deeper connection to yourself, which promotes harmony and balance on all levels of your being.
Teach
You will learn how to create a mindful and effective yoga class. You will explore how to structure a class in order to create a flowing and balanced practice. Preparing the space and creating a welcoming atmosphere are also important aspects.
The training also includes giving Adjustments (corrective instructions) to support participants in their practice and avoid injuries. You will be guided to develop your own language in order to give clear and respectful instructions.
A particular focus is on dealing with injuries and necessary adjustments during pregnancy to ensure safe and healthy practice for all

Laura Salmen
My name is Laura and I am a certified teacher for Hatha Yoga, Katonah® Yoga, Kundalini and children's yoga. I am originally from Austria, but have been living in Switzerland since 2014 and am 36 years old. For me, yoga is more than just a practice - it is a way of life to harmonize body, mind and breath and to feel the connection to your own soul. My yoga classes are about conveying the joy and lightness of movement. It's about being aware of your own body, feeling yourself and simply allowing yourself to be who you are.
What customers say
"Laura's classes have given me more confidence, more strength and an incredible sense of inner peace. I look forward to being guided by her deep knowledge and intuition every week. Absolutely recommendable!“

I'm really impressed with my experience at Temple Shape so far! I first came across them while exercising in the park, where I noticed a group of people doing a workout together. My curiosity led me to ask what was going on, and that's how I met Dani. She was super kind and quickly shared all the details about Temple Shape.What I discovered was beyond my expectations. They have a great studio in town, but during the summer, they take their workouts outdoors, which has been a great way to mix things up. They also offer sessions at cool spots like the 25th Hotel West, where you can even relax in the Sauna afterward—definitely a nice touch! And their retreats around Europe sound amazing. I'm excited to check those out too.Being new to Zurich, I'm glad to have found a community that's so welcoming and focused on health and wellness. The studio has a great vibe, with a cozy space to hang out, grab some healthy snacks, and connect with others before and after classes.Thanks to the team at Temple Shape for the warm welcome, looking forward to more great sessions with you all !
Great place! After my first yoga class, I fell in love thanks to Rada for a very great experience ❤️️
After doing lots of Yoga, Pilates and workout classes at Templeshape, I also decided to go for one of their retreats, so I joined the one in Wildhaus. As I actually already expected, it was an amazing experience that I can only recommend! It's an amazing mix of yoga and workouts as well as a few other activities and on top they will spoil you with self cooked treats and meals! As in their studio it was a really welcoming atmosphere! Mira, Dani and Gerrit were amazing hosts and I can't wait to join one of the other retreats too!! A big thank you to all of them for making this experience so unique!
Very nice yoga studio, I attended the HIIT yoga class with Ina using the HalloYoga book and it was amazing. She focuses on individual progress and is super friendly.

Simply brilliant - perfect for switching off and enjoying! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
The yoga fitness retreat at Tempelshape was an absolutely wonderful experience! The entire team runs the retreat with so much passion that you feel welcome and in good hands from the very first minute. The combination of yoga, fitness and relaxation was perfect. I would also like to highlight the food - simply sensational, fresh, healthy and prepared with lots of love.
I was able to spend a weekend with the Templeshape team and I am thrilled. From the first to the last minute I felt very welcome and well looked after. The training sessions were professionally led and fun (including 🥵😅). The food - a highlight for me personally - was extremely tasty and healthy... all in all, an entertaining and educational sports weekend. I would love to come back!
We had a great weekend with the Templeshape team! The warmth and cordiality were palpable from the very first moment. Dani and Mira did a great job of cooking for us and also catered for intolerances without batting an eyelid. The training sessions and yoga were fantastic. Highly recommended and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Templeshape's Wildhaus Retreat felt like A BIG WARM HUG <3Thank you Dani & Mira and Co for nourishing my soul, mind and body with your delicious and nutritious meals, bootcamp, yoga, community, and most of all your soulful warmth. I will be back for more!
I just came back from a weekend retreat organized by templeshape.ch with Dani and Mira, and I can honestly say it was life-changing!From the very first moment we arrived, everything was so thoughtfully prepared - a beautiful welcome bag, the most wonderful house (private and cozy), and a warm, inspiring atmosphere.The retreat program was perfectly balanced:Friday: A deeply grounding yoga session with Mareen followed by Mira's heavenly homemade dinner.Saturday: We started strong with an energizing bootcamp led by Dani, enjoyed a delicious organic vegetarian (with vegan & gluten-free options) breakfast, and listened to Dani's powerful and personal nutrition input that truly touched us all. Later, we prepared our own pre-workout snack, went on a dreamy hike in the stunning Toggenburg region, and closed the day with another beautiful yoga session and a soul-nourishing dinner.Sunday: Despite sore muscles, Dani pushed us (in the best way!) in another bootcamp, followed by what must have been the best breakfast ever. We then enjoyed a short creative workshop, before being sent home with homemade banana bread and hearts full of inspiration.Every detail was taken care of with so much love - the food, the activities, the group spirit, and the personal touches from Dani and Mira. The group dynamic was unique, the inputs for women were truly empowering, and the whole weekend left me feeling inspired, connected, and recharged.If you're looking for a retreat that combines movement, mindfulness, delicious healthy food, nature, and genuine community - this is it. I can't wait to join again!
This is the first retreat I have ever been on, and it was a fantastic experience from the start to finish. Dani, Gerrit, Mira and Maureen were so welcoming, open and authentic, setting the tone for a wonderful weekend. They went above and beyond, like letting me borrow a yoga mat and hiking boots as I'd traveled from London and had limited space to bring things. The food was delicious (including the impromptu fondue thank you!), healthy and filling. The bootcamps were challenging and the yoga was restorative. My muscles may be sore writing this, but my heart is full. This was a great weekend to bring summer towards an end and begin to welcome in Autumn.
I joined the most amazing Weekend retreat organized by Dani, Mira and team. The combination of intense workouts, excellent yoga, and the best (homemade!) food I've ever had, together with the beautiful humans who made this happen is really something incredibly unique. I can only recommend joining the Templeshape community, whether for a retreat or the regular workouts in Zurich! A huge thank you!
Very charismatic and nice crew. I absolutely loved the retreat in Wildhaus. A great mix of sports, outdoors and relaxing. The delicious food was the cherry on the top.5 stars are not enough! Thank you templeshapers 🤗
Amazing people, amazing program, amazing food & amazing surrounding!!! Just a perfect weekend. Thanks so much!
Last week I went to Templeshape's new location at the Circle for the first time. The studio is very modern and well equipped. I particularly liked the warm, almost friendly atmosphere, where you felt welcome right from the start, and my brother-in-law and I were Pilates newbies with Elena in Pilates Flow. The course was great fun. The exercises could be customized with different weights and resistance bands, which was also a good introduction for beginners like us. We had 2 more days afterwards, but that didn't stop us from booking the next class for next week. The booking app is also super easy to use and Dani from Templeshape was super quick to answer any questions we had. Best regards Näsi
It was an amazing experience, surrounded by kind and genuinely positive people-with no exceptions. It filled my heart with joy. Both Livia and Selina were absolutely incredible as bootcamp and yoga teachers. Despite the rainy weather, we truly enjoyed every moment.💪🏼I highly recommend going on a retreat with Templeshape 😌. Everything was well-organized, and the people had golden hearts.🤍
I just returned from a one-week yoga & bootcamp retreat in Crete organized by Templeshape and I must say I am struggling to get back to reality today! Despite the quite unstable weather (it rained 80% of the time), I had such a wonderful time connecting with incredible women there, making new meaningful connections and experimenting new things, be it the location itself (amazing modern Greek villa!), sports, local activities, local food, well-being and nutrition workshops, traditional Greek restaurant with live shows, wine tasting, Greek cooking workshop etc.. Everything was so nicely organized and thought after thanks to the owners Dani and Mira that weren't there but that had organized everything in the background, and also and foremost thanks to our dear hostesses on-site, Livia and Selina, that made our experience at the villa absolutely unforgettable. THANK YOU for everything you have done for us and for taking such good care of each of us with such empathy.I truly enjoyed the relaxing and grounded yoga sessions of Selina and Livia's challenging sweaty bootcamps by the pool or by the beach!A big thank you as well to the whole team, maids, masseuses and the beloved cooking team that made our stay so enjoyable, relaxing, and fun at the same time as well. I'll miss our dancing evenings and much more. As said multiple times, this is no goodbye but see you around in Tsüri!!! With love & warm regards, Elodie
I came home from the retreat on Crete so happy, content and enchanted. It was my first retreat and it had always been a dream of mine to do something like this. It totally fulfilled my expectations and even exceeded them. It was awesome!!! It was so beautiful, we had a relaxed group, we danced and laughed a lot. The villa with a view of the sea is fantastic. The food is so delicious, healthy and everything is freshly prepared. The training was great fun, with boot camp and yoga it was totally varied. The two hosts (Selina & Livia) led the retreat with heart and soul, a lot of motivation and so lovingly🫶 Thank you from the bottom of my heart and also to the Templeshape team for the thoroughly professional organization.❤️Ich I will definitely book a retreat with Templeshape again and can recommend it to everyone!
I attended the retreat in Crete together with my mommy. We really enjoyed it very much. The two hosts (Livia and Selina) were really great. Two really great people with lots of energy and Passion❤️. We felt at home right from the start and the bootcamp and yoga sessions were really very good. The villa is fantastic and our group was also great. We had a great mix of ages and really had a lot of fun, nice and funny moments together. There was also enough time for our own activities. Thanks to Tempelshape for this great week 😊
the mix of BootCamp and Yogaat the nicest places (beach, pool)outdoor !with great teacherswith best healthy local foodwas just amazing
„An extremely friendly team and well thought-out training for all levels - including advanced. The food is fantastic and you learn a lot about yourself and your body in a fun way. Your own ideas are integrated spontaneously, which makes the whole thing very personal. I would have loved to stay longer - great participants and an atmosphere that makes you want more. Definitely an annual must-do from now on!“
Great bootcamps, food and people! And the villa to match.
This is an AMAZING studio offering a wide diversity of activities, from yoga, to bootcamps, pilates and kettlebell training. The vibe, the teachers, the community make it even more fun to work out, without loosing sight of the prize!!!! You get a good endorphin kick after each class.After being enrolled for >1.5 years I had to relocate, but if I could bring something with me, it would be this studio!!!! Thanks so much to Dani, Mira and all the teachers for the excellent environment you created, for keeping an eye on everyone and making each training great. I will miss it a lot!!! Wishing all the best to the team!!!
Super nice week in Fuerteventura! Many thanks for the many wonderful impressions and moments. Right from the start, Sophia gave us a super warm welcome on site and accompanied us through the whole week! The food, the mega villa, the great people, the Pilates and the surfing, everything was perfect and very well organized. I can highly recommend Sophia and the whole team in Fuerteventura and would do this trip again at any time.
Super workouts, super trainers, super location. You feel really comfortable, happy and ready here 😁
What a wonderful experience! I feel completely enchanted after this week of intense lightness and serene joie de vivre and I thank everyone involved: Templeshape for the planning and their success in offering the highest quality, Sophia for the warm and efficient care, Vanessa for her pampering, inspired cooking, Robbie for his powerful and healing massages, Louise for her radiance and the motivating Pilates lessons and all of us who quickly became friends from strangers. "We shaped a temple!" Thank you!
It was the BEST week in Fuerteventura. gorgeous villa with healthy and delicious food prepared by flavor queen Vanessa. Solid pilates lessons from Louise to prepare for surfing and expert massages from Robbie to recover afterwards. Most importantly, Sophia's heartfelt and fun approach quickly formed us into a comfortable group with many adventures and laughs.
I am what you can say a retreat addict but there is a reason why...because once you've had a taste of just one amazing experience, you want to have it again. But not all retreats are equal and only a few leave you with not only the beautiful memories to keep and amazing vistas to remember but also the feeling of having met family. This last week in Fuerteventura at Templeshape Pilates and Surf where all that and more. From the warm reception by Sophia, the hostess, who came to pick me up even late into the evening because of the disastrous flight mishaps of the day to the friendly and homelike greeting from all at breakfast the next day, from the amazingly rich and healthy foods of Mother Earth made by Vanessa to the healing hands of Robbie to knock out all the knots and stresses stored up in the body, from the rigorous tumbles of the surf in Playa Blanca under the reassuring gaze of our surf coaches, Joan and Sam, to the downward dogs and Pilates 100s of our lovely instructor, Louise, all warmed the soul while surrounded by the long dormant Calderon Hondo and guarded by the bright constellation of Orion and Jupiter above in the most beautiful, architecturally designed villa I have ever stayed at. There is a reason that many movies have been filmed on this island. It is stunning! It is always amazing how quickly a group of seeming strangers become like old friends and family in just a few days and this one certainly felt just like that. A great way to start 2025! Thank you to all!
Whatever your reasons will be when you are thinking about doing a retreat with templeshape - do it! You will find exactly that and so much more. From the first moment on you will feel like being on holiday with old friends, where you can be yourself and relax and meet new friends. From sunrise surfs, coming home to the amazing breakfast cooked by the fairy godmother of the kitchen Vanessa, to having a nap on the couch, while listening to conversations and Jazi induced laughs from your new friends, cooking classes, Pilates and templeshape queen Dani's signature burn served by the pool, to sunset drinks by the ocean - it will be an experience you will never forget. Plus points if you bring your mum for even more laughter, wisdom and fun. Thank you Templeshape for this wonderful week in Fuerteventura - my body, mind and heart are still overflowing with joy and I will cherish these moments for a long time. I can still feel the sun on my skin even now when being back in ice cold foggy Switzerland. Thank you ❤️
I couldn't have wished for a more fun, enjoyable week in Fuerteventura with Dani and the Templeshape team. It was just the perfect tonic I needed in every way for body, mind and soul.I loved every minute, met some like-minded, new friends, ate far too much nutritious, delicious food, really enjoyed the pilates, loved the surfing, plus creative ateliers "crafted" specially for us.Dani cared for us all so much, nothing was ever too much trouble. Every attention to detail from the beyond stunning, yet welcoming villa, our generously thoughtful Templeshape goodie bags (the best ever!) upon arrival...program timing and all were exemplary. Big thanks equally to our amazing chef Vanessa and to Robbie and his team for our massages...I really didn't want to leave and can't wait to return to this magical volcanic isle and on another retreat with Templeshape. Hopefully also together with some of the amazing girls I was also lucky to meet.Dani, Gerrit, you are the best and again I cannot thank you enough!
Many, many thanks to Dani and Gerrit from Templeshape for this wonderful retreat week🙏🙏Everything was perfectly organized and I felt very, very comfortable. The villa was a dream film set and the rooms with their own terraces with a view of the volcano - fantastic. The group was just great and the atmosphere very cheerful and relaxed. Surfing, Pilates and sunrise volcano hike were just GREAT!!! Vanessa, our cooking queen, spoiled us with culinary delights from morning to night and the cooking class sessions were very inspiring and great fun. Chilling by the pool did us incredibly good. I'm flying home very satisfied and happy and am already looking forward to the next Templeshape retreat😃Muchas gracias🙏😘😘
If you're looking for a Pilates retreat with cooking sessions in a beautiful setting, this is it! I attended a retreat on the stunning island of Fuerteventura with TempleShape, and it was an incredible experience. The retreat offered a wonderful mix of activities, from morning walks and Pilates sessions to HIIT training, making it easy to stay active and feel energized.The group was a fantastic blend of people, all sharing the fun of movement and relaxation. We also enjoyed delicious home-cooked meals together, with valuable nutrition and cooking insights that added depth to the experience. TempleShape took care of every travel detail, which made everything feel easy and seamless. I was able to fully relax and enjoy my time off, knowing everything was thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend!
The retreat in Fuerteventura was AMAZING!!! Our hosts were unbeatably friendly and helpful!!! The food was delicious and prepared with lots of love!! If you have never been to a retreat at Templeshape you absolutely have to do it!!!!
I know now where I will be next year, making lasting memories :)
I had a blast at the Templeshape Retreat in Spain and last year in Sardinia- both times great people, amazing food and warm conversations. The combination of bootcamp in the morning and yoga in the evening is amazing- can only recommend!
I got away from everyday life and booked a retreat with Templeshape in Spain (Cambrils). One of the best decisions in my life. We were welcomed into the beautiful villa with a big smile and an open heart. The harmony of the group was noticeable from the first minute. I was able to experience a week with varied sports sessions (yoga & boot camp), sensational meals that were always prepared with love, good conversations, hearty laughter and just an existence of happiness. A big THANK YOU to the Templeshape team! I would immerse myself in a retreat with you again and again.
I was at the Morocco retreat in September, it was just great! The whole package with workouts (boot camp, yoga, surfing), the delicious food, the unforgettable excursions and the wonderful people made the retreat perfect! Between the program points you could enjoy the sun by the pool or the view from the beautiful villa. A big thank you to Sophia and Elettra for the great week!
Spent wonderful time during a retreat in Wildhaus, amazing people, great activities! Wholesome experience ❤️ Thank you so much!

The retreat in Wildhaus was fantastic. Everything was perfect from A to Z, from the accommodation to the delicious and lovingly prepared food, the sporting activities and the warm hospitality. You felt very comfortable and appreciated from the very first second. Thank you for a wonderful, exciting and educational weekend.❤️
I signed up for the retreat at Wildhaus and it was my first retreat ever. I don't think I could have asked for a better one. Dani, Mira and Gerrit will go out of their way in every aspect to make sure you're looked after. Despite not knowing anyone when I walked in, it felt like home from the first meal. The workouts were well planned and enjoyable, the food was healthy and delicious, the hikes were refreshing and all activities well thought out. There are several activities where you get to know people you're staying with as well as becoming aware about yourself and fitness in general. Made a few good friends from this trip as well. Will definitely recommend this!!
We really enjoyed the weekend at the retreat in Wildhaus and are super happy. Dani, Mira and Gerit spoiled us all around. Not only did we lack for nothing, we were also provided with fresh and incredibly delicious food. The yoga and boot camp sessions were intensive, but that's exactly what made them so effective - you just feel great afterwards:) We really appreciated the warm and authentic manner of Dani, Mira and Gerit. You can feel that they do their work with great passion and put their hearts into it. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. Thank you for a really great weekend and the great conversations! <3 Alice und Bettina

Super nice!!! Recently joined the weekend retreat in Wildhaus and it was really nice. It was my first time doing yoga and Mira was super helpful and patient. And Dani's bootcamps were the best way to start the day!! They created a warming atmosphere through the whole weekend. And the food was really amazing!!!Totally recommended!!
I just attended a weekend retreat in Wildhaus and it was a beautiful experience. Dani, Mira, and Gerrit are amazing hosts who make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. We had so much fun throughout the retreat. The work out classes were very intense—Dani showed no mercy, but it was worth every drop of sweat. After the yoga sessions with Mira, I felt like a new person. The food was exceptionally delicious, prepared with so much love and attention to detail.Also the house itself is stunning; It's spacious yet cozy, set in a beautiful mountain location. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, filled with special moments shared with new friends. I am very grateful for this unforgettable retreat.
Very nice yoga studio, I attended the HIIT yoga class with Ina using the HalloYoga book and it was amazing. She focuses on individual progress and is super friendly.
Templeshape in Zurich is simply fantastic! Thanks to this studio, I've developed a whole new relationship with exercise. The trainers are absolutely outstanding and excel not only in designing effective workouts but also in creating a warm and familial atmosphere. I really feel comfortable and motivated here. Templeshape has shown me that exercise is not just a physical activity but can also bring joy and community. I highly recommend it!
The fitness & yoga retreat on Crete was great. It was the perfect mix of sport & relaxation in great accommodation, with exciting people and heavenly food. Dani, Mira & Gerrit are warm hosts & coaches with a lot of experience in organizing such retreats, so you felt comfortable and in good hands right from the start💜

Both Livia and Selina were absolutely incredible as bootcamp and yoga teachers. Despite the rainy weather, we truly enjoyed every moment.💪🏼I highly recommend going on a retreat with Templeshape 😌. Everything was well-organized, and the people had golden hearts.🤍
I just returned from a one-week yoga & bootcamp retreat in Crete organized by Templeshape and I must say I am struggling to get back to reality today! Despite the quite unstable weather (it rained 80% of the time), I had such a wonderful time connecting with incredible women there, making new meaningful connections and experimenting new things, be it the location itself (amazing modern Greek villa!), sports, local activities, local food, well-being and nutrition workshops, traditional Greek restaurant with live shows, wine tasting, Greek cooking workshop etc.. Everything was so nicely organized and thought after thanks to the owners Dani and Mira that weren't there but that had organized everything in the background, and also and foremost thanks to our dear hostesses on-site, Livia and Selina, that made our experience at the villa absolutely unforgettable. THANK YOU for everything you have done for us and for taking such good care of each of us with such empathy.I truly enjoyed the relaxing and grounded yoga sessions of Selina and Livia's challenging sweaty bootcamps by the pool or by the beach!A big thank you as well to the whole team, maids, masseuses and the beloved cooking team that made our stay so enjoyable, relaxing, and fun at the same time as well. I'll miss our dancing evenings and much more. As said multiple times, this is no goodbye but see you around in Tsüri!!! With love & warm regards, Elodie
I came home from the retreat on Crete so happy, content and enchanted. It was my first retreat and it had always been a dream of mine to do something like this. It totally fulfilled my expectations and even exceeded them. It was awesome!!! It was so beautiful, we had a relaxed group, we danced and laughed a lot. The villa with a view of the sea is fantastic. The food is so delicious, healthy and everything is freshly prepared. The training was great fun, with boot camp and yoga it was totally varied. The two hosts (Selina & Livia) led the retreat with heart and soul, a lot of motivation and so lovingly🫶 Thank you from the bottom of my heart and also to the Templeshape team for the thoroughly professional organization.❤️Ich I will definitely book a retreat with Templeshape again and can recommend it to everyone!
I attended the retreat in Crete together with my mommy. We really enjoyed it very much. The two hosts (Livia and Selina) were really great. Two really great people with lots of energy and Passion❤️. We felt at home right from the start and the bootcamp and yoga sessions were really very good. The villa is fantastic and our group was also great. We had a great mix of ages and really had a lot of fun, nice and funny moments together. There was also enough time for our own activities. Thanks to Tempelshape for this great week 😊
the mix of BootCamp and Yogaat the nicest places (beach, pool)outdoor !with great teacherswith best healthy local foodwas just amazing
„An extremely friendly team and well thought-out training for all levels - including advanced. The food is fantastic and you learn a lot about yourself and your body in a fun way. Your own ideas are integrated spontaneously, which makes the whole thing very personal. I would have loved to stay longer - great participants and an atmosphere that makes you want more. Definitely an annual must-do from now on!“
Great bootcamps, food and people! And the villa to match.
This is an AMAZING studio offering a wide diversity of activities, from yoga, to bootcamps, pilates and kettlebell training. The vibe, the teachers, the community make it even more fun to work out, without loosing sight of the prize!!!! You get a good endorphin kick after each class.After being enrolled for >1.5 years I had to relocate, but if I could bring something with me, it would be this studio!!!! Thanks so much to Dani, Mira and all the teachers for the excellent environment you created, for keeping an eye on everyone and making each training great. I will miss it a lot!!! Wishing all the best to the team!!!
Super nice week in Fuerteventura! Many thanks for the many wonderful impressions and moments. Right from the start, Sophia gave us a super warm welcome on site and accompanied us through the whole week! The food, the mega villa, the great people, the Pilates and the surfing, everything was perfect and very well organized. I can highly recommend Sophia and the whole team in Fuerteventura and would do this trip again at any time.
Super workouts, super trainers, super location. You feel really comfortable, happy and ready here 😁
What a wonderful experience! I feel completely enchanted after this week of intense lightness and serene joie de vivre and I thank everyone involved: Templeshape for the planning and their success in offering the highest quality, Sophia for the warm and efficient care, Vanessa for her pampering, inspired cooking, Robbie for his powerful and healing massages, Louise for her radiance and the motivating Pilates lessons and all of us who quickly became friends from strangers. "We shaped a temple!" Thank you!
It was the BEST week in Fuerteventura. gorgeous villa with healthy and delicious food prepared by flavor queen Vanessa. Solid pilates lessons from Louise to prepare for surfing and expert massages from Robbie to recover afterwards. Most importantly, Sophia's heartfelt and fun approach quickly formed us into a comfortable group with many adventures and laughs.
I am what you can say a retreat addict but there is a reason why...because once you've had a taste of just one amazing experience, you want to have it again. But not all retreats are equal and only a few leave you with not only the beautiful memories to keep and amazing vistas to remember but also the feeling of having met family. This last week in Fuerteventura at Templeshape Pilates and Surf where all that and more. From the warm reception by Sophia, the hostess, who came to pick me up even late into the evening because of the disastrous flight mishaps of the day to the friendly and homelike greeting from all at breakfast the next day, from the amazingly rich and healthy foods of Mother Earth made by Vanessa to the healing hands of Robbie to knock out all the knots and stresses stored up in the body, from the rigorous tumbles of the surf in Playa Blanca under the reassuring gaze of our surf coaches, Joan and Sam, to the downward dogs and Pilates 100s of our lovely instructor, Louise, all warmed the soul while surrounded by the long dormant Calderon Hondo and guarded by the bright constellation of Orion and Jupiter above in the most beautiful, architecturally designed villa I have ever stayed at. There is a reason that many movies have been filmed on this island. It is stunning! It is always amazing how quickly a group of seeming strangers become like old friends and family in just a few days and this one certainly felt just like that. A great way to start 2025! Thank you to all!
Whatever your reasons will be when you are thinking about doing a retreat with templeshape - do it! You will find exactly that and so much more. From the first moment on you will feel like being on holiday with old friends, where you can be yourself and relax and meet new friends. From sunrise surfs, coming home to the amazing breakfast cooked by the fairy godmother of the kitchen Vanessa, to having a nap on the couch, while listening to conversations and Jazi induced laughs from your new friends, cooking classes, Pilates and templeshape queen Dani's signature burn served by the pool, to sunset drinks by the ocean - it will be an experience you will never forget. Plus points if you bring your mum for even more laughter, wisdom and fun. Thank you Templeshape for this wonderful week in Fuerteventura - my body, mind and heart are still overflowing with joy and I will cherish these moments for a long time. I can still feel the sun on my skin even now when being back in ice cold foggy Switzerland. Thank you ❤️
I couldn't have wished for a more fun, enjoyable week in Fuerteventura with Dani and the Templeshape team. It was just the perfect tonic I needed in every way for body, mind and soul.I loved every minute, met some like-minded, new friends, ate far too much nutritious, delicious food, really enjoyed the pilates, loved the surfing, plus creative ateliers "crafted" specially for us.Dani cared for us all so much, nothing was ever too much trouble. Every attention to detail from the beyond stunning, yet welcoming villa, our generously thoughtful Templeshape goodie bags (the best ever!) upon arrival...program timing and all were exemplary. Big thanks equally to our amazing chef Vanessa and to Robbie and his team for our massages...I really didn't want to leave and can't wait to return to this magical volcanic isle and on another retreat with Templeshape. Hopefully also together with some of the amazing girls I was also lucky to meet.Dani, Gerrit, you are the best and again I cannot thank you enough!
Many, many thanks to Dani and Gerrit from Templeshape for this wonderful retreat week🙏🙏Everything was perfectly organized and I felt very, very comfortable. The villa was a dream film set and the rooms with their own terraces with a view of the volcano - fantastic. The group was just great and the atmosphere very cheerful and relaxed. Surfing, Pilates and sunrise volcano hike were just GREAT!!! Vanessa, our cooking queen, spoiled us with culinary delights from morning to night and the cooking class sessions were very inspiring and great fun. Chilling by the pool did us incredibly good. I'm flying home very satisfied and happy and am already looking forward to the next Templeshape retreat😃Muchas gracias🙏😘😘
If you're looking for a Pilates retreat with cooking sessions in a beautiful setting, this is it! I attended a retreat on the stunning island of Fuerteventura with TempleShape, and it was an incredible experience. The retreat offered a wonderful mix of activities, from morning walks and Pilates sessions to HIIT training, making it easy to stay active and feel energized.The group was a fantastic blend of people, all sharing the fun of movement and relaxation. We also enjoyed delicious home-cooked meals together, with valuable nutrition and cooking insights that added depth to the experience. TempleShape took care of every travel detail, which made everything feel easy and seamless. I was able to fully relax and enjoy my time off, knowing everything was thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend!
The retreat in Fuerteventura was AMAZING!!! Our hosts were unbeatably friendly and helpful!!! The food was delicious and prepared with lots of love!! If you have never been to a retreat at Templeshape you absolutely have to do it!!!!
I know now where I will be next year, making lasting memories :)
I had a blast at the Templeshape Retreat in Spain and last year in Sardinia- both times great people, amazing food and warm conversations. The combination of bootcamp in the morning and yoga in the evening is amazing- can only recommend!
I got away from everyday life and booked a retreat with Templeshape in Spain (Cambrils). One of the best decisions in my life. We were welcomed into the beautiful villa with a big smile and an open heart. The harmony of the group was noticeable from the first minute. I was able to experience a week with varied sports sessions (yoga & boot camp), sensational meals that were always prepared with love, good conversations, hearty laughter and just an existence of happiness. A big THANK YOU to the Templeshape team! I would immerse myself in a retreat with you again and again.
I was at the Morocco retreat in September, it was just great! The whole package with workouts (boot camp, yoga, surfing), the delicious food, the unforgettable excursions and the wonderful people made the retreat perfect! Between the program points you could enjoy the sun by the pool or the view from the beautiful villa. A big thank you to Sophia and Elettra for the great week!
Spent wonderful time during a retreat in Wildhaus, amazing people, great activities! Wholesome experience ❤️ Thank you so much!
I'm really impressed with my experience at Temple Shape so far! I first came across them while exercising in the park, where I noticed a group of people doing a workout together. My curiosity led me to ask what was going on, and that's how I met Dani. She was super kind and quickly shared all the details about Temple Shape.What I discovered was beyond my expectations. They have a great studio in town, but during the summer, they take their workouts outdoors, which has been a great way to mix things up. They also offer sessions at cool spots like the 25th Hotel West, where you can even relax in the Sauna afterward—definitely a nice touch! And their retreats around Europe sound amazing. I'm excited to check those out too.Being new to Zurich, I'm glad to have found a community that's so welcoming and focused on health and wellness. The studio has a great vibe, with a cozy space to hang out, grab some healthy snacks, and connect with others before and after classes.Thanks to the team at Temple Shape for the warm welcome, looking forward to more great sessions with you all !
It was simply amazing! I'm so excited to be able to repeat the experience again! Thank you very much Bielefeld!
Great place! After my first yoga class, I fell in love thanks to Rada for a very great experience ❤️️
The retreat weekend in Wildhaus was great! Great food, wonderful company and a good time together :) Mira, Dani and Gerrit do everything to make you feel comfortable every second. I can only recommend it from the bottom of my heart. I can only recommend it to 100% from the bottom of my heart :)
The retreat in Wildhaus was fantastic. Everything was perfect from A to Z, from the accommodation to the delicious and lovingly prepared food, the sporting activities and the warm hospitality. You felt very comfortable and appreciated from the very first second. Thank you for a wonderful, exciting and educational weekend.❤️
I signed up for the retreat at Wildhaus and it was my first retreat ever. I don't think I could have asked for a better one. Dani, Mira and Gerrit will go out of their way in every aspect to make sure you're looked after. Despite not knowing anyone when I walked in, it felt like home from the first meal. The workouts were well planned and enjoyable, the food was healthy and delicious, the hikes were refreshing and all activities well thought out. There are several activities where you get to know people you're staying with as well as becoming aware about yourself and fitness in general. Made a few good friends from this trip as well. Will definitely recommend this!!
We really enjoyed the weekend at the retreat in Wildhaus and are super happy. Dani, Mira and Gerit spoiled us all around. Not only did we lack for nothing, we were also provided with fresh and incredibly delicious food. The yoga and boot camp sessions were intensive, but that's exactly what made them so effective - you just feel great afterwards:) We really appreciated the warm and authentic manner of Dani, Mira and Gerit. You can feel that they do their work with great passion and put their hearts into it. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. Thank you for a really great weekend and the great conversations! <3 Alice und Bettina
After doing lots of Yoga, Pilates and workout classes at Templeshape, I also decided to go for one of their retreats, so I joined the one in Wildhaus. As I actually already expected, it was an amazing experience that I can only recommend! It's an amazing mix of yoga and workouts as well as a few other activities and on top they will spoil you with self cooked treats and meals! As in their studio it was a really welcoming atmosphere! Mira, Dani and Gerrit were amazing hosts and I can't wait to join one of the other retreats too!! A big thank you to all of them for making this experience so unique!
Super nice!!! Recently joined the weekend retreat in Wildhaus and it was really nice. It was my first time doing yoga and Mira was super helpful and patient. And Dani's bootcamps were the best way to start the day!! They created a warming atmosphere through the whole weekend. And the food was really amazing!!!Totally recommended!!
I just attended a weekend retreat in Wildhaus and it was a beautiful experience. Dani, Mira, and Gerrit are amazing hosts who make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. We had so much fun throughout the retreat. The work out classes were very intense—Dani showed no mercy, but it was worth every drop of sweat. After the yoga sessions with Mira, I felt like a new person. The food was exceptionally delicious, prepared with so much love and attention to detail.Also the house itself is stunning; It's spacious yet cozy, set in a beautiful mountain location. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, filled with special moments shared with new friends. I am very grateful for this unforgettable retreat.
Very nice yoga studio, I attended the HIIT yoga class with Ina using the HalloYoga book and it was amazing. She focuses on individual progress and is super friendly.
Templeshape in Zurich is simply fantastic! Thanks to this studio, I've developed a whole new relationship with exercise. The trainers are absolutely outstanding and excel not only in designing effective workouts but also in creating a warm and familial atmosphere. I really feel comfortable and motivated here. Templeshape has shown me that exercise is not just a physical activity but can also bring joy and community. I highly recommend it!
The fitness & yoga retreat on Crete was great. It was the perfect mix of sport & relaxation in great accommodation, with exciting people and heavenly food. Dani, Mira & Gerrit are warm hosts & coaches with a lot of experience in organizing such retreats, so you felt comfortable and in good hands right from the start💜
