It' s our vision to interconnect music and yoga in order to awaken the flow of creativity. You will encounter yourself and others in the group in your very own and individual playing and practice with joy and ease. 

Mar and I met in summer 2024 at the Wild Naya Handpan Academy, which I visited for the second time in a row. Due to my deep connection to Spain I had been following Mar for quite a while until then. For me her playing is a dance of dynamics and volume, just as I find it in the mystical dance of the Atlantic Ocean. I feel blessed to have the chance to learn from Mar and cooperate with her now on a new and even deeper level. 

Mar is from Teneriffa, Spain and has chosen a place close to Girona to call her home. She has been spending the last 6 years exclusively learning, playing and growing her skills and herself with and through the handpan. She works as a handpan artist and teacher. Her current album is called "Grises". (Scroll down to listen to her music.) She acts together with her music partner Vic Moliner and is one of the main organisers of "Singading Handpan Gathering." Mar expresses her true self, her creativity and pure heart through her incomparable music. 
You will encounter her and her passion in the workshops, no matter if you're at the beginning of your handpan journey or already "on track". 

I am Bianca. As a musician I am "Ama Pola", which means poppy flower in Spanish. My roots are German, however I have a deep connection to Spain after studying Spanish and living in Andalusia. I have a huge passion for lyrics and songwriting, which is why I wanted to know if it is possible to play chords on this magical instrument in the first place. Fortunately it IS possible, which is why my handpan is mostly my songwriting instrument. It's absolutely new and challenging for me to NOT sing while playing and to let rhythms be the leader of the songs. I am also passionate about yoga, as it brings a closer connection to my body, my self and others. During the past few years I have had the chance to learn from the best and to dive into a groundbreaking method called Anusara® Yoga which helps us align the inner attitude to live with the outer form, based on the First Principle called "Open to grace", which is the main theme we will be working with during the retreat. My philosophic connection brings me to the tantric non-dual idea of yoga (non-sexual by the way) which you will encounter in the meditations of our retreat. I teach yoga and handpan workshops on festivals and LOVE being home with my two cats close to Munich, Germany. Find my music below. 

Anusara® Yoga ist suitable for any level. To get the best experience out of the handpan part it's best if you have already done a few online classes or live workshops. You should be able to get a nice tone out of the instrument, hold a rhythm and flow a bit with the instrument. If you are a beginner right now: No worries. You can book online classes with Mar and find her program on Master the Handpan. I offer classes in German here. Write us if you have any questions or concerns.

Bianca's Yoga classes will be taught in Englisch as soon as one English speaking participant takes part. Mar's handpan classes will be held in English.
