The Heart Connection

The Heart Connection

Intermediate ✺ 27.9.- 4.10. Oktober 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

In einer Welt voller Ablenkungen und Anforderungen verlieren wir oft die Verbindung zu dem, was wirklich zählt: unserem Herzen.
Dieses Retreat bietet dir einen geschützten Raum, um in die Stille einzutauchen, den Geist zur Ruhe zu bringen und die Weisheit deines Herzens wiederzuentdecken.

Wahres Glück und innerer Frieden entspringen aus einem achtsamen Leben im gegenwärtigen Moment. Gemeinsam erkunden wir, wie wir durch bewusste Atmung, achtsame Bewegung und tiefes Zuhören eine tiefe Verbindung zu uns selbst und anderen aufbauen können. In der Praxis des Herzens öffnen wir uns für Mitgefühl, Freude und inneren Frieden.
Wir lassen alte Lasten los und lernen, die Gegenwart mit einem liebenden Blick zu betrachten.

Die Praxis
Wir beginnen unsere Tage mit einer erdenden Meditation, die den Grundstein für eine tief verbundene und bewusste Praxis legt. Danach fließen wir in einer dynamisch- belebenden Jivamukti-Klasse. Jeden Tag erkunden wir eine bestimmte Asana in einem workshop-ähnlichen Ansatz – mit Fokus auf Ausrichtung, Technik und achtsame Bewegung.

Am Nachmittag tauchen wir in einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung ein, beruhigen das Nervensystem mit Pranayama, regenerativen Haltungen und dem Chanten.

An einem besonderen Nachmittag leitet Sandra einen thematischen Workshop, der feinfühlig auf deine Energie und dein Erfahrungsniveau abgestimmt ist – ein Raum für Erkundung und Wachstum.

about the place
It doesn’t seem possible that Olea is less than an hour’s drive from the crowded streets of Rome. With lush, abundant grounds of its own, along with a natural spring and a magnificent wooden yoga platform which overlooks the valley below, this is a truly magical place that’s ideal for spiritual practice, slowing down, and plunging oneself into nature.

Gentle English 2025 October Fleur van Hille All Level Vinyasa Flow Yin Casa Erica, Spain Restorative Nidra Spain

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Last days of Summer

All Level ✺ 23- 29 Oktober 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Our signature Yoga & Culinary Retreats are perfect for those interested in plant- based cuisine eager to learn more or simply get inspired.

Set in the warm, late-October sun of southern Spain, this retreat offers a chance to extend the feeling of summer just a little longer. While the crisp air of autumn is settling in across northern Europe, here the climate remains mild, giving you the perfect environment to recharge and relax. The peaceful surroundings—just steps from the beach—will help you reconnect with a sense of calm and lightness.

Each morning, we start the day with a grounding practice, combining breathing and guided meditation to center ourselves. From there, we move into a gentle vinyasa flow, designed to energize you while taking advantage of the warmth of the season.

In the afternoons, there’s time for relaxation with restorative yoga or yoga nidra (yogic sleep). With the ocean nearby, the natural rhythm of the surroundings enhances your sense of calm and relaxation. We’ll also explore aspects of yoga philosophy to offer practical insights, while mantras will deepen your connection to yourself. Mythology will be used as a light and fun way to reflect on universal themes and personal growth.

Join us to peacefully digest what came before, and ease into the changing season with clarity, relaxation, and a renewed sense of balance. This retreat is the perfect way to reset and enjoy the last days of summer before the winter months begin.

Fleur van Hille

People often describe me as a warm and sunny person with an intuitive approach to teaching yoga. I like hearing this description because it shows that I’ve made a real connection with my students. And if there’s one thing about yoga that I love the most and which characterises my classes, workshops and retreats, it’s the feeling of being connected.
A retreat offers us the possibility of a truly profound experience of yoga. Surrounded by nature and among like-minded people from every corner of the world, a unique journey unfolds. Conversations open up, emotions are untapped, and discoveries are made.
In the quiet of each morning, we begin our yoga practice in stillness, taking time to anchor our awareness in the present moment through a guided breathing exercise, a meditation or visualisation. Then, drawing on the energy of the rising sun and the freshness of a brand-new day, I lead you through a vinyasa flow that is both gentle and energising.
During the dip in energy that tends to follow lunchtime, the sessions slow down, allowing for a deeper exploration of the techniques and practices encountered earlier in the day. There’s also plenty of time for sinking into a profound state of relaxation with restorative or yin yoga, or even yoga nidra (yogic sleep) – sometimes accompanied by mantras, music, or myths.

The Journey Home

The Journey Home

All Level ✺ 10- 16 August 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

One of Yoga’s greatest promises is to move us towards an experience of life that is infused with lasting fulfilment, ultimate freedom and a joy that is untouched by external circumstance. We taste the essence of that place by coming to understand the nature of our mind, its tendencies, and how we may best use its potential in service to our growth, and in service to our heart.

This retreat is an opportunity to dive a little deeper, in an embodied way, where the teachings can begin to reveal themselves to you, through the direct experience of your own practice. Together we’ll explore traditional source wisdom, alongside the practices that help breathe life into all of it in a way that feels meaningful to you.

Mornings will comprise of a complete practice (asana, pranayama & meditation) that weave Yogic philosophy/ understanding into the fabric of the experience. The afternoons will alternate between restorative practices that help us to balance & regulate the nervous system, inviting deep rest into the cells of the body (Yoga Nidra, Meditation etc) and, or workshops that provide an opportunity to further unpack Yoga’s essential teachings.

Journalling, self enquiry and mantra will play a large role in our experience together, as a means to spark greater clarity, growth and transformation.

Chrissie Chung is a student and teacher of the Himalayan Tradition. She has been studying, practicing and sharing Yoga extensively for the last 10 years.

Celebration of Inner Summer

All Level ✺ 10- 16 Juli 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Der Sommer lädt uns dazu ein, uns lebendig zu fühlen: Die Tage sind lang, alles fühlt sich leicht und frei an. Das Leben findet draußen statt, im Außen, in voller Blüte.
Dieses Retreat ist eine Einladung, dich mit der Energie des Sommers und der Sonne zu verbinden, mit deiner inneren Sonne.
Was ist deine innere Sonne? Was lässt dich am hellsten scheinen? Wann fühlst du dich so richtig lebendig und in deiner Kraft? Wie kannst du dich immer wieder bewusst mit deinem Licht und deiner Energie verbinden? Und wie kannst du genau das mit der Welt teilen?
Sei dir bewusst, dass die Welt dich und dein Licht braucht. Es gibt einen Grund, warum du jetzt gerade hier bist. Dieses Retreat lädt dich dazu ein, dich bewusst mit deinem higher Self und dem Licht in dir zu verbinden. Du wirst die Möglichkeit erhalten dir im höchsten Sinne zu begegnen, dich in deiner Kraft zu erkennen. Du wirst den Zugang zu spirituellen Praktiken und Ritualen erhalten, die du auch im Alltag anwenden kannst, um dich mit dir und deinem inneren Licht zu verbinden.
Wir starten den Tag mit Meditation, Pranayama und kraftvollem Jivamukti Yoga. Eine sanfte Praxis am Abend lässt sich entspannen. Auf dieser Reise begleitet dich ein Journal und du kannst dich auf spirituellen Praktiken, Rituale und einen Workshop freuen, der dich mit deinem higher Self verbindet.

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Echos of Flow

All Level ✺ 9- 15 Oktober 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Tauche ein in die Magie des Flows – jenem Zustand, in dem du vollkommen präsent bist, wenn Bewegung und Atem, Geist und Körper eins werden. Im Flow erlebst du die perfekte Balance zwischen Anstrengung und Leichtigkeit, zwischen Aktivität und Hingabe. Dieser Zustand, oft beschrieben als „im Moment sein“, schenkt Klarheit, Fokus und innere Ruhe.

Während dieses Retreats üben wir, den Flow-Zustand durch dynamische und entspannende Praktiken bewusst zu erleben. Die Erfahrungen, die wir dabei machen, wirken wie ein Echo, das uns noch lange begleitet und das uns daran erinnert, wie es sich anfühlt, wirklich präsent zu sein, mit Klarheit und innerer Ruhe im Moment verankert.

Am Morgen starten wir mit einer zweistündigen Praxis, die uns energetisiert, fokussiert und stärkt: Zuerst mit Breathwork und einer geführten Meditation und im Anschluss fließen wir durch eine kreative und abwechslungsreiche Vinyasa Flow Sequenz in der Atem und Bewegung miteinander verschmelzen.

Am Nachmittag bist du eingeladen, loszulassen und in die Ruhe einzutauchen. Durch sanftes Breathwork, nährendes Yin Yoga und regenerierendes Yoga Nidra findet dein Nervensystem in einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung. 

Inanna Fronius 

Inanna ist eine erfahrene und leidenschaftliche Vollzeit Yogalehrerin. Ihre Faszination für Yoga hat sie durch die ganze Welt reisen und sich von vielen unterschiedlichen Lehrer:innen und Yoga Stilen inspirieren lassen.

Was vor vielen Jahren als Begeisterung für die Asana Praxis begann ist längst zum einer Berufung geworden. Seit acht Jahren teilt sie ihr Wissen und ihre Leidenschaft für die Praxis in ihren Klassen, bei Workshops, Retreats sowie ihrer eigenen Ausbildungen für Yogalehrer:innen.

Ihre eigene Praxis lässt sie immer wieder erfahren, wie die vielfältigen Aspekte des Yoga einen großen Beitrag dazu leisten, ein freudvolleres und bewussteres Leben zu führen. Ihr größter Wunsch ist es, dieses Potential der Praxis für andere erfahrbar zu machen und sie auf ihrem Yoga Weg zu unterstützen.

Beauty of Simplicity

Beauty of Simplicity

Intermediate ✺ 23- 29 September 2025 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Den ersten Sonnenstrahl nach einer Reihe von Regentagen bewusst genießen, laut im Auto mitsingen, mit Freunden herumalbern – oft sind es die kleinen und einfachen Momente, die uns im Leben die meiste Freude bereiten. Du hast das Gefühl, dass diese Momente in letzter Zeit oft zu kurz gekommen sind? Wir laden dich ein, mit uns die Magie des einfachen Seins zu erkunden. Diese Zeit soll dir Raum geben, zur Ruhe zu kommen und wieder in eine tiefere Verbindung zu dir selbst zu treten.  

Wir starten den Tag mit einer 120-minütigen Masterclass, einer anspruchsvollen Vinyasapraxis begleitet von Mediation, Breathwork und Visualierungen. Diese dynamischen Stunden fordern dich körperlich heraus und schaffen gleichzeitig Raum für persönliches Wachstum. 

Am Nachmittag erwarten dich sanfte Mobility- und Slow-Flow-Klassen mit Yin-Elementen, Chanting und Traumreisen. Hier kannst du entspannen, loslassen und in die tieferen Schichten deines Selbst eintauchen.  

In dieser Woche schenken wir dir wertvolle Zeit, um dich wieder mit dir zu verbinden und ein Gefühl von Fülle aus deinem Inneren heraus entstehen zu lassen. Verliere dich in Tagträumen, sei auf leichte und spielerische Weise ganz du selbst und schaffe Raum für alle Facetten deines Seins. 

Erlebe, was passiert, wenn der Geist zur Ruhe kommt und sich das Herz öffnen darf – wenn sich alles wieder leicht und frei anfühlt.

The retreat culminates in integration, celebrating the balance of all the elements in your body, mind and spirit. Each practice and activity is carefully designed to reconnect you with yourself and the rhythms of nature, leaving you renewed and balanced.

Nadja Steinbach

Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher

Nadja’s wanderlust is innate, nurtured by years of cultural immersion. With a background in organic farming and a commitment to combating climate change, her journey into Jivamukti Yoga seamlessly extended her path.

She believes that the practice of yoga is a place of individual growth and acceptance by bringing together different people with a common ground. Being together in this space creates an overwhelming sense of unity that we so often miss in our daily lives. Holding space for this and whatever unfolds is the magic of yoga.

Nadja has been taught to teach the kind of class she wants to attend. In her classes you will experience elements of pranayama and asana, music and meditation, as well as hands-on assists. Her passion is to infuse spiritual teachings into physical practice, making ancient wisdom accessible and relevant. Music sets the tone, weaving themes into playlists, while humor adds a touch of levity.

Nadja teaches regular classes in Munich at Yogaloft Munich and Jivamukti Yoga Munich.

Pilates for Clarity

Pilates for Clarity

All Level ✺ 14- 20 August 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Begin your days with intentional movement designed to awaken both body and mind. The morning sessions emphasize Pilates practices that refine the mind-body connection through precise alignment, dynamic flows, and thoughtful transitions. Breathwork and visualization techniques are seamlessly interwoven, helping you find clarity and focus in your practice. These invigorating classes will leave you energized and inspired, ready to carry purpose and vitality into the rest of your day.

Afternoons invite a slower pace, alternating between restorative yoga and Pilates practices that release tension, improve mobility, and build mindful strength. Certain afternoons will offer focused sessions that target specific areas of the body. For the back and arms, the focus will be on strengthening posture, releasing tension, and bringing ease to the upper body. Lower body sessions will emphasize opening tight hips, activating glutes, and cultivating stability. Core connection classes will guide you in building deep core strength to support and enhance your overall practice.

September Magic

September Magic

Intermediate ✺ 11.- 16. September 2025 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

September is a time of transition, bridging the vibrancy of summer with the serenity of autumn. It’s a month for reflection, gratitude, and realignment. With three-quarters of the year behind us, it’s the perfect time to pause and reset.

This week, we’ll immerse ourselves in the magic of this transformative time, away from daily distractions, in a secluded mountain location filled with stillness and beauty. Whether you seek solitude or connection with like-minded Yogis, the experience is yours to shape.

During the retreat, you’ll be free to be yourself. Together, we’ll explore the joy of yoga practice with ease and fun. Yoga means union—with yourself and with nature—and I look forward to deepening this connection with you in the magical surroundings of September.

Mornings will begin with meditation, pranayama, and dynamic Jivamukti Yoga, featuring asana, chanting, dharma, and uplifting music. Prior experience with Jivamukti Yoga, Vinyasa, or Ashtanga is recommended.

Afternoons will focus on quieter practices—workshops, asana labs, chanting, and restorative yoga to maintain balance.

Some evenings, we’ll gather for satsang—a space for chanting, sharing, or simply being together.

Philippa Heyden

Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher

In early 2015, Philippa completed her Teacher Training at the magical Govardhan Eco Village in India, under the guidance of her teachers Sharon Gannon, David Life, Lady Ruth, and Jules Febre, with Yogeswari as her mentor.

What excites Philippa about Jivamukti Yoga is the unique and transformative combination of intense asana practice, meditation, chanting, diverse music styles, pranayama, and the deep awareness of both the internal and external environments. She finds that Jivamukti Yoga provides a holistic approach to practice, integrating body, mind, and spirit while fostering a profound connection to the world around us. For her, the practice is not just a physical discipline but a way of life that encourages mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness.

Recharge & Restore

Recharge & Restore​

Mittelstufe ✺ 11- 17 September 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Hast du das Gefühl, dass es Zeit für eine Auszeit ist? Dieses Retreat gibt dir die Möglichkeit, den Alltag hinter dir zu lassen und Körper sowie Geist zu revitalisieren.

Morgens starten wir mit Meditation und einer dynamischen Jivamukti- und Power Vinyasa-Praxis, die dir Energie für den Tag gibt. Am Nachmittag folgen Yin- und Restorative Yoga Sessions, sowie Mantra singen, um Dir zu helfen, zu entspannen und loszulassen.

Thematisch orientiert sich die tägliche Praxis am Chakrasystem. In der yogischen Philosophie sind die 7 Chakren, 7 Energiezentren, die entlang der Wirbelsäule verlaufen. Wenn die Energie an diesen Stellen frei fließen kann, führt das zu einem gesunden Körper, einem klaren Geist und einem Gefühl der Verbundenheit mit dir selbst und den Menschen um dich herum. Jedes Chakra ist mit einem Thema wie zB. Selbstbewusstsein, Sinnlichkeit oder Kommunikation verbunden.

„Recharge & Restore“ lädt dich ein, neue Energie zu tanken und mit frischer Kraft die Herausforderungen des Lebens zu meistern.

Bitte beachte, dass während des Retreats ein Kleinkind anwesend sein wird. Falls dich das triggert, berücksichtige dies bitte bei deiner Entscheidung zur Teilnahme.

Nils Schäfer
Das Gefühl von Balance und Gleichgewicht in unserer Verbindung zur Welt und all ihren BewohnernInnen steht für Nils als Jivamukti Yoga-Lehrer, als auch in seiner eigenen Yogapraxis, im Mittelpunkt. Seit 2021 lehrt er Yoga, um seinen SchülerInnen dabei zu helfen, sich selbst und den eigenen Körper zu schätzen und bewusst wahrzunehmen, welche Gedanken der Geist erzeugt. Yoga bedeutet für Nils zu fühlen, nicht zu überwinden.
Nils ist zertifizierter Jivamukti Yogalehrer (300h) und unterrichtet im Rootsyoga Hamburg.
