Awakening Experience

An Awakening Experience- A Journey of Exploration

Intermediate ✺ 12-18 October 2023 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Join CJ & Shelby in an Awakening Yoga Retreat Experience where we will dive into the depths of curiosity and self-discovery in your yoga practice. Awakening Yoga offers a unique perspective to the modern yoga system. It is designed to respect the traditions of yoga with a functional approach to yoga asana, unlocking the keys to your fullest potential.

Awakening Yoga is composed of four foundational pillars: vinyasa, mobility, strength, and restore. The collaboration of these unique facets provides accessibility & diversity for all practitioners to explore the unlimited opportunities to suit the practice to fit what you need in the moment. Mentally and physically, this practice deconstructs outdated ideas and creates new perspectives for yourself through the lens of breath and movement, mediation and expression.

Each morning, we will practice “The Set” from the Awakening Yoga system. This vinyasa practice is a set sequence, allowing you familiarity and ritual each morning. Starting your day fresh, this sequence is centered around energetic principles and anatomical areas of focus to create a well-rounded experience.

Evening classes will expand upon the pillars of the Awakening Yoga style to study new elements of exploration behind the asana practice. Each day will focus on a specific asana aspect to further enhance the reasoning behind the Awakening Yoga structure. In these classes we will understand how movement and breath pertains to our own unique individual experience.

 

Carleton James Yeagley

CJ gravitates towards connection. Connection with movement, to people, to his emotions of mind, body & spirit. He found yoga after playing sports growing up and throughout college. Wanting to learn more about the asana side of the practice, CJ found Patrick Beach, Carling Harps, & Awakening Yoga Academy. He’s been learning and training with them for the past seven years and has been a full-time yoga teacher for the past nine years. CJ has a Masters in Exercise Science and has taught 1000+ hours of public classes, not including workshops, retreats, and private sessions. He has filmed 100+ classes on Patrick & Carling’s yoga platform, Commune Online, consisting of strong vinyasa and ease-filled practices. CJ’s classes are a wonderful balance of structure & freedom. Meeting you in your moment of effort & ease. He hopes to leave you with good vibes and positive energy.

Shelby Heintzelman

Shelby strives to help people gain awareness in their bodies, encouraging attention to the breath to move them into a mind-body connection. Her flows are a combination of strength and balance with intentional movement woven into a mindfully creative sequence. Shelby received her 200hr vinyasa training with Yoga Works in Santa Monica, CA. She since has continued to train under Patrick Beach and Carling Harps, where she went on to complete her 300hr advanced training with Awakening Yoga Academy. She also has filmed 100+ classes on Patrick & Carling’s yoga platform, Commune Online, consisting of strong vinyasa and ease-filled practices.

Her sincere goal is for people to learn how to show up for themselves, practice compassion, self love, and use their yoga practice as a time for them to turn inward and release the stresses of life. Shelby’s hope is that people leave her classes feeling inspired, challenged, fresh, and with a sense of clarity that translates into their everyday lives.

Practice & Presence

Practice & Presence

Intermediate ✺ 8- 14 October 2023 ✺ In Sabina, Rieti, Italy

Practice is what holds us together.

In a world where talk is often valued more than action. Where new theories and ideas appear every minute, it is almost a rebellious act to focus on one’s practice.

A regular practice makes progress visible and inevitable. This applies to a yoga practice, but also to anything we do.

Are you tired of the “all talk no action” approach? I feel you. But we cannot make life about practice only. Practice is by definition a prerequisite in order to perform an action with perfection. What is the action? And will we ever reach that perfection? Perfection is not being flawless. It is doing something with complete presence. The action is to become present and aware. To be able to meet our own life with grace and a relaxed mindset. Because we did show up to the work before.

This retreat is not about perfecting your practice. Of course glimpses of perfection can appear. This retreat will be about the journey of yourself during your practice and what we can take out of it. Because what is the use of practice, if we don’t apply it to our lives? To become better humans.

The asana practice and meditation is our foundational ground. It’s where we meet and where we explore. The time outside of classes can be dedicated to yourself, to connect with others or maybe create a deeper connection to what you are practicing for.

I will share teachings of my teachers and those who have inspired me on my path. We will discuss some of the most important yogic texts in a down-to-earth way.

We will practice a good amount, but there will be awareness for how you feel within that process. See the practice part for more information about that.

I will offer you a retreat where you can be present for yourself. Where you don’t have to justify, explain or argue about your needs. If you feel challenged, I invite you to explore within your boundaries. Is it an old pattern appearing? Maybe inviting you to look behind this imaginary wall? Or is it time to step back and go within. We only know through practice what works for us.

The practice
The morning asana classes will be the full package – a vigorous practice, fun and sweaty with a soundtrack that will make you want to dance, chanting which softens the heart and dharma (philosophy talk) that sparks new ideas for the spiritual path.

The afternoon practice is usually held in workshop style where we dive deeper into a topic. Some asana related, some focussing on a chakra or on a teaching. In any case we go deep here.

Some evenings are spent with Satsang (chanting or meditation together and some philosophy) where you get to connect or simply be inspired by the teachings.

Level Intermediate: You should have a regular asana practice and expect dynamic, challenging classes.

Jivamukti Yoga Retreat

Dana Sertel

Dana is an Advanced Certified (800+h) Jivamukti Yoga Teacher based in Berlin. She is a mentor to Jivamukti Yoga Apprentices and mentoring new teachers.

Within the Jivamukti Yoga method she offers to guide new teachers through the 500+h JTAP Program and teaches in English and German worldwide classes online and offline.

Finding the teaching in anything. Authentic and real. Informed by her practice and devoted to the experience. Dana started practicing Yoga in 2006 after a long time of intense sports. She immediately noticed there was more to Yoga than just physical benefits. Diving deep into the liberating effects of practice is what brings her back to the mat every day. There are highs and there are lows – none of them should be missed or avoided.

A Journey Within

A Journey Within

Mittelstufe ✺ 28 Sep - 4 Okt ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Komm mit uns auf eine intuitive Reise auf der wir den Kontakt zu unserer inneren Stimme stärken und lernen dem Körper zuzuhören. Wir wollen den Blick umdrehen – anstatt im Außen zu sehen, versuchen wir im Innen zu fühlen – um uns dadurch eine ganz neue Welt und Möglichkeiten zu eröffnen.

Wir starten den Tag mit einer dynamischen Asana Praxis, die dich auf allen Ebenen – körperlich, mental und emotional – auf den Tag einstimmt. Die Klassen führen durch intuitive Bewegungsmuster zurück vom Kopf ins Herz und sollen dazu inspirieren deinen Körper auf eine ganz neue Art und Weise kennenzulernen.

Die Abendstunden werden bestimmt durch langsam, fließende oder gehaltene Asanas, sanftem Pranayama und einer geführten Meditation um zurück in den Raum unserer Intuition zu treten und das Erlebte in Ruhe zu reflektieren und abzuschließen.

Level: Mittelstufe

Du solltest eine regelmäßige Asana Praxis haben und Lust auf dynamische, fordernde Klassen.

 

Elke Waibel

Seit über 10 Jahren teile ich als dipl. Tänzerin und Yogalehrerin meine Leidenschaft für Bewegung.
In meinen Yogaeinheiten möchte ich die Menschen dazu inspirieren ihren Körper nicht nur als ein Werkzeug zu betrachten, das einen Zweck zu erfüllen hat, sondern viel mehr als komplexes Gebilde, das eine uns unvorstellbare Tiefe hat, uns einen Platz in dieser Welt gibt und uns hilft mit anderen in Kontakt zu treten. In meinen Klassen bilden sanfte Pranayama Übungen und starke Vinyasa Flows einen sicheren Rahmen, den wir immer wieder spielerisch durch intuitive Bewegungen durchbrechen werden sodass wir die Balance zwischen analytischem Denken und intutiven Fühlen entwickeln.

Practice of Liberation

Yoga Retreat June 2022

Practice of Liberation

Intermediate ✺ 13- 19 July ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Jivanmukta means liberated while living, and refers to a person who has gained complete self-knowledge and self-realisation. It’s easy to overlook that the practices of yoga are designed for this purpose, which is why it is so potent when we set aside time to go deeper into our practices.

Perhaps the beginning of living liberated is to recognise that we are not limited to the roles we may have in this lifetime. We not defined by our careers, nor by our possessions, nor by any other external factors. So why should we hold so tightly onto these identities. Whats more, those of us truly aspiring to live liberated must recognise that we are but one cell in the body of all of life. So how can we live in a way that inspires harmony?

During this week we will explore the relationship between asana and intention. Between breath and the awakening of our full consciousness.

Each morning will start with chanting, meditation & pranayama, followed by a deep & purposeful asana practice. The afternoons will be a mixture of workshops designed to explore specific aspects of the practice in more detail.

Intermediate: This retreat is recommended for those who have at least one year of experience in practicing yoga asana.

Rowena Johnson

Rowena is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, and a 200hr & 300hr teacher trainer, who has been practicing yoga since 2008.

With a personal practice of Ashtanga and Jivamukti, Rowena’s classes are strong, purposeful and interspersed with personal insights, spoken word and uplifting music. The alchemy created is inspiring and potent, far beyond the mat.

Whilst based in Berlin, Rowena teaches internationally on yoga teacher trainings, workshops and retreats.

Freedom of the Heart

Freedom of the Heart

Intermediate ✺ 13- 19 August ✺ In Sabina, Rieti, Italy

Alignment is internal work, meaning what matters most is that we live from the truth that speaks to us through our spiritual hearts.

When we initially came to the practice the shifts we felt may have been primarily physical, but as we increase the frequency and the dimension of our practice we begin to sense something deeper is calling to us. Yogic practices provide us with tools for introspection. And with this we’re able to recognise our truth, and take action from a place of inner alignment. This does not have to look like a radical external change, you don’t have to leave the modern world and go and live in an ashram, you can live from this place of deep alignment right there where you are – and this is the most radical realisation.  

During this week long retreat we will create space to learn, grow and deepen our connection to practice. So that you can return to your life feeling nourished and refreshed, ready for all that is coming. 

Each morning will start with chanting, meditation & pranayama, followed by a deep & purposeful asana practice. The afternoons will be a mixture of workshops designed to explore specific aspects of the practice in more detail.

Intermediate: This retreat is recommended for those who have a consistent weekly yoga practice.

Beim ‘Inner Wisdom Retreat’ mit Stefanie Jacoba üben wir, unserer eigenen, inneren Stimme wieder mehr Raum zu verschaffen, denn unser innerer Kompass kennt den Weg. Wir müssen uns nur daran erinnern.

Am Morgen erwarten dich energetisierende, fordernde Yoga Einheiten, um erst einmal ganz in den Körper und ins Fühlen zu kommen. In der Praxis testen wir spielerisch unsere eigenen Grenzen aus und schauen, wo wir Rückzug, Ruhe und Space brauchen und wo uns Verbindung und ein über Grenzen hinaus tasten gut tut. So baust du Stück für Stück mehr Verbindung zu deiner inneren Stimme auf und lernst, sie stärker zu achten und wahrzunehmen.

Auch der Atem verrät viel darüber, wie es uns auf mentaler und emotionaler Ebene geht und wie gut wir mit uns selbst in Verbindung stehen. Stefanie arbeitet mit verschiedenen Atemtechniken, um althergebrachte Atem-Muster aufzubrechen und zu mehr Fokus und Konzentration zu finden. So kann Platz für Neues entstehen.

Am Nachmittag erwarten dich entweder spielerische Skill Workshops, in denen du dich an herausfordernden Asanas üben und deinen körperlichen Horizont erweitern kannst, oder sanfte Einheiten, in denen wir mit passiven  Stretches und feinstofflichen Visualisierungs-Übungen zu einer klaren, inneren Ausrichtung finden können.

Level Mittelstufe. Du solltest eine regelmäßige Asana Praxis haben und Lust auf dynamische, fordernde Klassen.

about the place

Casa Erica is where it all begun and where we host retreats since 2014. It is a home to us, which we love to share. Peacefully located on the coast of Andalusia, between Málaga and Nerja. The beach in walking distance.

What we love most about it are the pastel sunsets, the wild beaches and the laid back Andalusian mentality. Also our dog Alpha and cat Hanuman live here. More

Intermediate ✺ 18- 24 May 2023 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Die körperliche Asanapraxis ist eine Form, an unseren Beziehungen zu arbeiten. Sie ist wie ein Spiegel, der uns zeigt, wo wir noch blinde Flecken haben und was unsere Vorlieben und Abneigungen sind. Wir begegnen uns selbst auf der Matte mit all unseren Vorgeschichten und Glaubenssätzen. Wenn wir bereit sind, uns wirklich damit auseinanderzusetzen, hat die Asanapraxis das Potenzial, uns tiefgreifend zu verändern.

Bei diesem Jivamukti Yoga Retreat lernst du die energetische und anatomische Ausrichtung von verschiedenen Asanas verstehen und wie diese mit Atem, Blick (drishti) und Energieverschlüssen (bandha) einen Flow ergeben. Das gibt dir die Möglichkeit, deine Yogapraxis zu vertiefen und dich spielerisch auch an fortgeschrittene Asanas zu wagen.

Doch Asana ist nur ein Aspekt auf dem Yogaweg. Dahinter steckt eine unglaublich reiche Philosophie. Zum achtgliedrigen Pfad des Yoga nach Patanjali gehört unser Umgang mit anderen (yama), der Umgang mit uns selbst (niyama), Atemübungen (pranayama), Rückzug der Sinne und Reflexion (pratyahara), Konzentration (dharana), Meditation (dhyana) und schließlich der Zustand von Befreiung (samadhi). Mithilfe intensiver Pranayama-Sessions, angeleiteten Meditationen, gemeinsamen Chanting sowie Raum zur Selbstreflexion werden wir all diese Teile erleben und erfahren.

Morgens starten wir in Stille mit Meditation, Pranayama und einer dynamischen, intensiven Asanapraxis nach der Jivamukti Methode. Nachmittags erwarten dich Workshops und Asana-Labs, um die eigene Asanapraxis zu vertiefen. Beruhigende Pranayama-Sessions und Yin Yoga Einheite sorgen für den nötigen Ausgleich und die Abende verbringen wir in Gemeinschaft (Satsang), um zu Chancen, Erfahrungen und Ideen zu teilen, um Fragen zu stellen oder einfach das Zusammensein zu genießen. 

Dieses Retreat richtet sich an alle, die bereits eine regelmäßige Yogapraxis haben.

Sheila Ilzhöfer

Sheila ist ausgebildete Jivamukti Yoga, Power Vinyasa und Yin Yoga Lehrerin, hat zahlreichen Aus- und Weiterbildungen absolviert und an internationalen Workshops teilgenommen. Sie gibt in ihren Stunden das weiter, was sie in ihrer eigenen Yogapraxis lernt und erlebt.

Sheila versteht Yoga nicht als rein körperliche Praxis, sondern als ein holistisches Werkzeug, das es uns ermöglicht, unser Innerstes mit radikaler Ehrlichkeit zu erforschen. Sie ist fest davon überzeugt, dass wir Menschen nie falsch oder kaputt, sondern wir stets vollkommen sind. Die yogischen Praktiken helfen uns dabei, uns daran zu erinnern.

Für Sheila ist die Yogapraxis ein Privileg, die uns nicht nur mehr Mitgefühl uns selbst gegenüber, sondern allen Lebewesen gegenüber schenken soll. Sie erinnert uns daran, dass wir nie abgeschnitten von anderen existieren, sondern immer in Verbindung miteinander stehen.

Sheila unterrichtet herausfordernde, dynamische Jivamukti Yoga Klassen voller Leichtigkeit, stets unterlegt mit einem ausgewählten Soundtrack. Ergänzt wird die Asanapraxis mit Meditationen, Pranayama (Atemübungen) und Chanting.

Sheila lebt in Berlin und unterrichtet Yogaklassen sowie Workshops in ganz Deutschland und Europa.
