Places that Hold My Heart
Throughout the years, my family and I have been blessed to travel to some truly special places around the world — sacred corners of beauty, peace, and inspiration. Many of these places became more than destinations; they became part of our story.
Each location featured here is one I’ve personally experienced — either through family travels or while teaching yoga and facilitating retreats. I’ve come to know the owners, their journeys, and the unique soul of each place. Every recommendation comes from genuine connection, gratitude, and trust.
You’re invited to explore these handpicked sanctuaries — to rest, to reconnect, or to experience private sessions and retreats with me in these nurturing spaces.
If you feel called to visit on your own or with loved ones, you’ll also find links to book directly. This page is my heartfelt way of giving back — a token of appreciation to the beautiful hosts and spaces that have supported me along my journey.
Radka's Local Home Base
Nestled by the serene Skipton canal, Polyworks Studio is more than a wellness space — it’s where my personal and professional journey truly began.
Formerly known as Ebru Evrim Studio, this is the first place where I started my regular yoga asana practice after deciding to dedicate myself fully to the path of yoga. That calling came on the 1st of February 2020, after attending a transformative workshop with Yogi James French near Bradford. The experience awakened something deep within me — a knowing that yoga was no longer just a practice, but my path.
Soon after, I found this beautiful local studio — then Ebru Evrim — which welcomed me with warmth, community, and the perfect environment to grow. Today, as Polyworks, the space continues to evolve while keeping its spirit of authenticity and connection.
The studio combines beautifully designed yoga and Pilates rooms, a fully equipped Pilates Reformer space, a massage room, and a cozy attic studio ideal for intimate sharing circles and private coaching sessions. Its tranquil surroundings and canal views create a natural flow of peace and inspiration.
Skipton is where I’ve lived, studied, and built lasting relationships — and this studio remains the heart of my local work. You are warmly invited to join me here for any local events, private sessions, or community gatherings.

Sweden

Sweden — Where Transformation Found Me
The Beginning of a New Chapter
My connection with Sweden began in February 2023, during the half-term break with my children. It was meant to be my first international retreat — an exciting collaboration with George, a Romanian entrepreneur I met through a Tantra course with Kashish Yoga. George had recently purchased a beautiful hotel in Korpilombolo, a small northern town surrounded by snow, silence, and pure nature. His vision was to transform it into a sanctuary for yoga, massage, and holistic retreats — a vision I immediately resonated with.
Our arrangement was heartfelt and simple: I would offer a retreat, and in return, he would host my family’s stay. Yet, life had its own plans. My uncertainty at the time held me back from promoting the event, and no participants joined. Still, we chose to go ahead with the project — guided by trust and openness to what might unfold.
During that week, everything flowed in unexpected ways. I found myself giving massages, leading yoga sessions for locals, and hosting intimate couples’ workshops — teaching how to reconnect through touch, awareness, and play. George, in his adventurous spirit, led us into the wilderness: walking barefoot in the snow, crossing frozen lakes, snowmobiling, and skiing through the still white landscape. It was raw, freeing, and unforgettable.
The hotel itself carries a sense of spaciousness and comfort — featuring 10 ensuite rooms, two fully equipped self-catering apartments, a large communal hall and dining area, a massage room, a sauna, and cozy corners perfect for reading, reflection, or rest. Though it stands in the heart of Korpilombolo, surrounded by open space, it feels as if nature itself embraces you there.
Sweden became the place where courage met surrender — and where, at 40, I experienced the most profound transformation of my life.
Whether you wish to join me for a custom retreat or private event, or simply to enjoy the serenity of this space on your own or with loved ones, this magical corner of Sweden awaits you.

Oleander’s Garden — Ferma, Crete
By the Sea, Yet in the Mountains
Sometimes, the Universe rearranges our plans to lead us exactly where we’re meant to be. My journey to Oleander’s Garden Traditional Cretan Cottage was one of those divinely guided turns — a spontaneous adventure that became one of my family’s most cherished memories.
In the summer of 2024, we were preparing for our usual trip back to Bulgaria when, unexpectedly, our van’s gearbox broke down. With flights to Bulgaria soaring in price, I began searching for alternative routes — and quite miraculously, found a set of transfer flights from Manchester to Crete, and then to Sofia. The total for all four of us: just £200, luggage included. There was a five-night gap between the flights — a clear sign that we were meant to pause, rest, and explore.
Finding accommodation was another adventure. After several failed booking attempts (and even our computers mysteriously freezing!), a new listing suddenly appeared — Oleander’s Garden, a peaceful, family-run retreat just minutes from the beach. It felt instantly right, and everything flowed easily from that moment on.
When we arrived, we discovered a hidden gem — a place “by the sea, yet in the mountain,” surrounded by nature’s calm and Mediterranean warmth. The cottage complex offers 17 rooms, studios, and family apartments, each with a kitchenette, bathroom, and private terrace. There’s a large pool, sauna, breakfast terrace, and open spaces that invite stillness and connection. Accommodating up to 30–38 guests, it’s a perfect blend of community and peace — ideal for families, couples, or private retreats.
The true heart of Oleander’s Garden, however, is its host — a Bulgarian former national athlete and Kriya Yogi whose story of love, resilience, and faith deeply inspired me. Our meeting felt destined. We formed a beautiful friendship that continues to this day, reminding me that even when plans fall apart, life’s divine plan always holds something greater.
Crete will forever hold a special place in my heart — a reminder that magic happens when you trust the flow.
Whether you wish to create your own retreat or private event with me in this tranquil setting, or simply enjoy the beauty of Oleander’s Garden with loved ones, this Cretan haven awaits your discovery.

"The mysterious meeting !"
"Me and Radka met and got to know each other in very incredible and mysterious way. I have been living and working in Greece for more than 25 years and currently own a small family hotel.
She came to us with her family, husband and kids at the last minute, booking through Booking.com. The surprise for me was very big and the acquaintance was more than interesting. Radka is a very open person with deep knowledge in life that is not found so often. We had long and deep conversations about life in the beautiful Oleander Garden. I was left with the feeling of an incredible experience from the family and herself as a person. Before leaving, she offered and gifted a full relaxing massage as a sign of gratitude to the two maids who work in the hotel for their hard outstanding work. A thousand thanks to Radka and her family.
I hope to see you again."
