About

Held with care, from the first note.

Soul Spark Retreats designs yoga journeys for people who want depth, not a busy schedule with a view. Tina Schmelzer founded it in Zurich. The work happens wherever the teaching needs a home.

A quiet practice at the edge of the sea

The founder

Hi, I’m Tina.

Creative, practical, and most at home between a shala and a well-made plan. I spent more than fifteen years in travel and hospitality, and I trained seriously as a yogi — Ashtanga at the centre, with study in philosophy, chanting and Ayurveda alongside it.

The company exists because I wanted those two lives in one place: precise hospitality, and teaching that is respected. I host in person.

Transformation

A week with enough quiet for something to actually change.

Authenticity

Local tradition, local people, and a place that is not dressed up as something else.

Community

Small groups. Shared tables. Friendships that do not require performing.

Care

Fifteen years in travel, used so the guest never has to manage the week.

The March immersion is open.
