Description

Yoga & Archery on La Gomera with Melanie Tressel and Gerhard SeiHo Wiedemann

A special retreat by the sea awaits you at Finca El Cabrito on La Gomera – a place to step away from everyday life and make time for yourself.

We combine intuitive archery with the “Stable Centre” training approach: Slow Flow Yoga, pelvic floor training and exercises from Liebscher & Bracht pain therapy, complemented by conscious breathing, meditation and breathwork. You strengthen your deep stabilising muscles, abdominals and back while developing greater clarity, focus and presence.

Through your feet and pelvis, you discover grounded stability and a sense of connection with the open sky. You begin by imagining the shot, then practise with bow and arrow, without pressure to perform and with a sense of ease and enjoyment. Releasing the string becomes a moment of awareness. Two experienced instructors with a sense of humour guide you through a memorable retreat in a remarkable setting.

What is Effective Pelvic Floor Training?

An anatomically precise practice that focuses on strengthening and stabilising the body’s centre, especially the pelvic floor. It encourages length and alignment through the spine and skeleton and coordinated engagement of the deep muscles. The effects can be felt and seen immediately, and the practice can be integrated directly into everyday life.

Precise exercises connect the pelvic floor, feet, spine and deep muscles to create a strong foundation.
Archery with presence and ease

Without pressure to perform, you explore stance, tension and alignment as you learn to release the string consciously.
Personal guidance & awareness of posture

Individual guidance helps you notice your posture and carry new experiences into everyday life.
Meditation, nature & community

Meditation, the sea and nature offer space for connection, solitude and renewal.

Your instructors

Two paths, one aim: presence.

Melanie Tressel

Body therapist · Yoga teacher · Massage therapist

Melanie has worked as a body therapist, yoga teacher and massage therapist for more than 20 years. Drawing on CANTIENICA pelvic floor training, she developed Effective Pelvic Floor Training. She trains yoga teachers at BDYoga and teaches pelvic floor retreats on La Gomera.

“Your body is the gateway to the present moment. The pelvic floor is a trampoline supporting the organs, not a ‘lift’ that tightens the pelvic space. We work with the pulsation of the pelvic floor to strengthen our root and sacral chakras, bringing more vitality and joy to life!” Find out more about Melanie and her work.

Gerhard Wiedemann beim ZEN und Bogenschießen

Gerhard SeiHo Wiedemann

Bowyer · Zazen & Zen archery

Gerhard is a bowyer and has practised zazen and Zen archery for 15 years. He offers bow making and archery courses as part of Zen retreats.

“When I keep my attention in my body throughout every stage of an archery shot, I enter into a deep connection with myself and the wisdom of our distant ancestors. Experiencing, sensing and engaging the pelvic floor creates a subtle awareness within me. I experience it as grounding and presence with every arrow I shoot, when sitting on a meditation cushion and when standing upright.”
