Iyengar Yoga Workshop
David Meloni, 7. & 8.März, 2026
David Meloni begann 1996 mit Iyengar Yoga. Er reiste mehrfach nach Pune, Indien, um am Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute zu studieren. Im Jahr 2013 erhielt er von B.K.S. Iyengar die Zertifizierung „Advanced Junior II” und 2018 verlieh ihm Geeta S. Iyengar das Diplom „Advanced Senior Level II”, die höchste Zertifizierung, die bisher vergeben wurde (derzeit Level 4).
Viele kennen David Meloni durch seine Online-Kurse, die während der Pandemie populär wurden, aber vielleicht hatten noch nicht so viele die Gelegenheit, an seinen Präsenzkursen teilzunehmen. Deshalb habt ihr am 7. und 8. eine schöne Möglichkeit, seinen ersten Workshop in der Schweiz zu genießen und ihn persönlich kennenzulernen.
BKS Iyengar embodied practice.
At the heart of what he taught, Guruji encourage us to explore in our practice and through our practice to develop the awareness to realize Yoga. When the practice is rooted in stability and steadiness of body, mind, and breath it enhances the quality of how Guruji whole-heartedly taught us. In turn, how we practice and the quality of practice determines its effectiveness and whether we can be touched by the transformative characteristics inherent in Yoga itself.
Be prepared to be physically and mentally immersed through David Meloni’s accessible approach through hands-on adjustments during Asana and Pranayama as he transmits the essence of Guruji, BKS Iyengar’s, teachings.
Join us March 2026 in Basel for a 2-day in-person workshop to further unlock your path of profound and dedicated practice.

Iyengar Yoga Retreat
Koksijde - Belgien 29. Juli - 3. August, 2025
Koksijde is a town on the coast of the province of West Flanders (Belgium) with a long beach that connects different villages and nature reserves in the region.
The yoga intensive takes place in a former 12th century farmhouse which has been transformed into a spacious and fully equipped Iyengar yoga studio with ropes, chairs, blankets and other props to immerse yourself in the practice.
You can book your place on the Iyengar yoga intensive with everything organised, including two vegan meals per day and accommodation at Villa Horizon, or if you prefer you can arrange your own food and accommodation.
Daily Schedule
7:30-8:15 – Pranayama
8.45-10:45 – Asana
11:15 Brunch
17:00- 18:30- Restorative yoga
19:00 Dinner
* Except for Tuesday 29th, which is the arrival day, when there is only class at 17:00 and dinner at 19:00. Sunday 3rd we left the room before midday.
* For beginners (less than 2 years experience in Iyengar yoga) there will be daily double asana sessions. For experienced practitioners in addition to the double asana session there will also be pranayama in the morning.
Accommodation
Villa Horizon is a cozy holiday home located in a quiet area 850 m from the beach. The house has 5 bedrooms with double beds which can be used as single rooms as well as for couples. There are 4 bathrooms and 4 restrooms, lounge, kitchen, as well as outdoor table, entertainment area and jacuzzi, which is located on the south-facing terrace.
The distance between the practice room and Villa Horizon is about 3.8 km, which can be done by public transport or walking, however, I would recommend renting a bicycle to move around independently and get to know the area which is flat and pleasant for cyclists.
If you prefer to find your own accommodation, Koksijde has a wide range of hotels, B & B’s and campsites.
Teacher
Lladiu started practising yoga more than 20 years ago, is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher level 2, runs the Ayalgayoga studio in Basel.
The yoga intensive is suitable for advanced yoga practitioners as well as beginners and practitioners of other styles of yoga who want to get to know Iyengar yoga. The teacher will adapt the practice to the level of each person.
Meals
Vegan brunch and dinner cooked with care by chef Evy. Teas will also be available for the rest of the day. If you have food allergies Evy will adapt the meals. The first dinner on the 29th of July will take place on the outside tables around the yoga studio, weather permitting.

Single room:
9 Asana sessions + 4 pranayama sessions + 9 meals + 5 nights = CHF 885.
Shared room:
9 Asana sessions + 4 pranayama sessions + 9 meals + 5 nights = CHF 725.
* Without accommodation and food the price for yoga classes is only CHF 260.
