Our story

A space to slow down, unplug and turn inward.

We began in 2024, when ZenTen Studios opened its doors for yoga and meditation classes in the heart of Elva, a charming town in the south of Estonia. Today, we also offer immersive silent retreats, expertly guided to help detox your body, soul and mind — profound, life-changing experiences for those who join us.

Our retreats are thoughtfully designed, blending the transformative power of yoga, mindfulness and self-care tools with the rejuvenating essence of nature. Each journey is crafted to renew the mind, body and spirit, nurturing deep self-discovery and inner peace. Whether you want to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply unplug and unwind, we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.

“Be deliberate about the slowing down.
Practice being comfortable with the uncomfortable.”

The retreat

Detox on three levels

Amidst mesmerising pines, enchanting lakes and invigorating nature trails, you'll immerse yourself in a profound exploration of self-restoration. Through guided meditation, yoga, mindfulness and body work, you'll gain a fresh perspective on life and a new awareness of yourself — leaving calmer, lighter and more grounded.

01

Mind

In an ever-accelerating world, we take time to slow down. We put down our phones, unplug for a few days, and turn inward for a truly transformative journey — one that lets you reset your nervous system and even rewire your brain.

02

Body

We give the body a break so it can focus on repair and activate autophagy. Rather than a strict fast, you'll enjoy three nutritious, easily-digestible smoothies a day — plus a body-balancing massage from a licensed professional to complement your healing.

03

Soul

Discover the power of meditation and dive deeper into mindfulness. You'll leave recharged and refreshed — and with lasting tools and techniques for efficient, sustainable stress management. Your future self will thank you for it.

Restorative practices

Energy-balancing additions

EFT Tapping

Emotional Freedom Techniques combine acupressure with cognitive processing. By gently tapping on specific meridian points, we work to release emotional blockages and restore balance to the body's energy system — a gentle self-help tool for managing stress, anxiety and other emotional and physical challenges.

Reflexology

A complementary therapy applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, hands and ears. Grounded in the theory of energy zones, it promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress and stimulates the central nervous system — a calming, non-invasive practice much like a restful massage.

The venue

A quiet home in the heart of Elva

You'll stay in a newly renovated retreat apartment in a charming little Estonian town in the south of the country. Guests share a spacious yet cozy room with a nature view (separate sleeping spaces are provided for participants of different sexes). Yoga classes take place in the studio within the same building.

The apartment sits near several lakes, wooded areas and nature trails. Simple and unassuming, it's perfect for self-reflection and unplugged mental resets — peaceful yet connected, never fully cut off from the world. The right kind of balance for a smoother transition back into daily life once the retreat ends.
