### 🌿 5RHYTHMS DANCE W/ OLIVER & YOGA W/ DANA SERTEL— AN INTERGRATED RETREAT
ALOHA am See · near Berlin
September 10-13th, 2026
In this retreat two complete practices are each given full depth and brought into Synthesis. Yoga is practiced as yoga - 5Rhythms Conscious Dance is practiced as such. They are carefully and deliberately brought into dialogue, so that each practice potentiates the other.
What emerges is a deep somatic healing experience — enlivening, wakeful, musically rich and beautiful and profoundly nourishing.
### 5RHYTHMS DANCE W/ OLIVER
For more than a decade, Oliver has been integrating 5Rhythms Conscious Dance with somatic awareness, meditation, and yogic principles. He has been guiding dancers into liberating dance processes where movement becomes meditation and is carried by highly refined musical journeys. His curated journeys unfold organically with skillful transitions that dancers often describe as feeling carried rather than led. He has been cultivating coherent community fields that support deeply nourishing somatic processes while maintaining safety, orientation, and choice.
His facilitations are aesthetically musical and holistically integrated.
Practicing many years with preeminent teachers in the fields of yoga, dance, and psycho spiritual work his work has been evolving toward mastery. In the world of conscious dance he is an internationally renowned senior teacher known and trusted by peers and communities alike.
### YOGA PRACTICE — GUIDED BY DANA SERTEL
Dana’s yoga sessions are equally deep and complete — yoga practiced as a living, embodied path.
Her masterly teaching stands out through its rare combination of precision, musicality, and emotional intelligence. Her teachings are deeply and joyfully inhabited.
She guides from inside the practice, with a sensitivity that allows students to:
feel structure with adaptability
Balanced effort without force
depth and wakefulness
Her classes are known for their musical phrasing, anatomical intelligence, and the way breath, movement, and attention are woven rhythmically into an integrated inner experience.
Dana transmits yoga as a dynamic practice: present, grounded, responsive, and powerful.
Her teaching resonates strongly with long-term practitioners, teachers, and dedicated students alike. In her sessions yoga lands in the body and unfolds from there on and off the mat.
### SYNTHESIS — WHERE THE WORK DEEPENS FURTHER
What makes this retreat unique is that yoga and 5Rhythms are intentionally brought into a vibrant and joyful relationship.
Together, Dana and Oliver facilitate the meeting point:
where yogic attention refines the dance
where rhythmic movement softens and liberates yoga
where structure and freedom inform one another
This synthesis supports:
deep somatic release
emotional integration
heightened aliveness
and a rare quality of relaxed wakefulness
This combination is deeply healing and deeply pleasurable —
Dana and Oliver facilitate a synthesis of the two practices to unfold within a musically sophisticated field, where musicality is a guiding intelligence throughout the retreat.
