Re:New

Re:New

Intermediate ✺ 7- 13 Mai 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Dieses Retreat ist deine Einladung, für einen Moment aus deinem Alltag – und aus dem Autopiloten – auszusteigen. Eine Woche, in der du dir erlaubst, dich wieder zu spüren, anzukommen und einfach nur zu sein. Wir schaffen Raum, um wahrzunehmen, was da ist, deine Mitte zu finden und dich neu auszurichten: den Fokus wieder bewusst auf das zu lenken, was dich wirklich nährt und was dir wichtig ist.
Gemeinsam als Gruppe gehen wir auf eine Reise des Wiederentdeckens – eine Reise, in der wir Altes loslassen dürfen und uns öffnen für das, was neu kommen will. Abseits des Gewohnten erleben wir Leichtigkeit, Freude und Präsenz wieder bewusster und lassen uns von der Kraft der Gemeinschaft tragen. Diese Mischung aus Zeit für dich und gemeinsamen Erlebnissen macht Re:New so besonders – damit du am Ende der Woche nicht nur erholt, sondern ganz re:newed in deinen Alltag zurückkehrst.
Unser Weg führt über die Praxis: Am Morgen erwarten dich kräftige, dynamische Jivamukti Klassen, die dich energetisieren, stärken und fokussieren. Am Nachmittag tauchen wir in den Gegenpol ein – regenerative Praktiken wie Yin, Yoga Nidra und meditative Formate, die dich entschleunigen lassen, dein System beruhigen und Integration möglich machen. So findest du zurück in deine Mitte – im Körper, im Geist und in deinem ganzen Sein.

Katharina Kozel

Katharina ist Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yogalehrerin und lebt in Wien und Berlin, wo sie ihre Leidenschaft für Jivamukti Yoga als ganzheitliche und heilsame Praxis entdeckte. Jivamukti Yoga half ihr Werkzeuge zu finden, Balance in ihrem Beruf und im Lebensalltag zu finden und ihren Alltag auch als wesentlichen Teil ihrer Yogapraxis zu verstehen. Denn Yoga geht für sie weit über die körperliche Praxis hinaus und das ist, was sie leidenschaftlich mit dir in ihren Yoga Einheiten teilt.

Katharina hat 2023 ihrer Passion einen Raum und Namen gegeben: Sie ist Co-Founder von Mynd Yoga, dem ersten Yogastudio in Wien, das sich auf Jivamukti Yoga spezialisiert hat. Mit Mynd Yoga und in ihren Klassen möchte Katharina als Gemeinschaft Raum für eine Reise des Wachstums, des Erlebens und der Freude an Yoga „on-and-off the mat“ schaffen.

Autumn

Autumn

Intermediate ✺ 6- 11 October 2026 ✺ La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Autumn marks the threshold between heady saturation of summer and the stillness of winter, a time to begin slowing down as we turn our attention from outer radiance towards inner luminosity. Aligning with nature’s rhythm of letting go, honouring the harvest of experiences and insights from the past months, and preparing the ground for the fertile ground of the magic dark of winter.

Each day unfolds through the arc of the season: morning practices to awaken, clarify and inspire, afternoon sessions for contemplation, inspiration and somatic release, and evenings for rest, reflection, and regeneration.

The retreat serves as a passage—out of excess, into essence.

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.

If you want to take a class with Rowena you can find her at Three Boons Yoga in Berlin (also online classes) or try the yoga video we’ve  recorded with her last year.

August Intermediate Forest, Lithuania English Very dynamic Jivamukti Dana Sertel September Philippa v. Heyden

Forest Oasis

Forest Oasis

Intermediate ✺ 27 August- 3 September 2026 ✺ Šiaurys, Lithuania

An enchanted House with private Lake access. This Retreat is an invitation to slow down, to listen deeply, and to return to what is essential.

Surrounded by ancient trees, soft moss, and the rhythm of nature, we’ll gather as a community to move, breathe, and reconnect. Between sessions, swim in the lake, walk among the trees, enjoy the sauna, or simply rest in stillness. We offer you a week of deep practice, shared meals, forest walks, and simple joys. 

Mornings will open with dynamic Jivamukti Yoga, strong, soulful, and alive. Expect to sweat, to sing, to move with rhythm and heart. Our classes are infused with music, chanting, and philosophy, a full exploration of body, mind, and spirit.
Afternoons invite you to slow down. Through workshops we’ll explore themes that anchor us, the elements, the chakras, or ancient teachings that are relevant to our daily life. These sessions are about depth, curiosity, and play.
Evenings will gather us in Satsang, quiet moments of chanting, meditation, and reflection. A time to connect through sound, silence, and the forest’s hum around us.

We meet life with ease. We move and grow together with kindness, curiosity, and lightness.
Practicing in community and nature opens space for stillness, joy, and belonging. Remember your playful side by exploring nature.

If this speaks to you, come as you are—for solitude or connection, for silence or laughter.

We are Dana & Philippa! Each time we teach a retreat together, we are also asked to show up for each other and for the retreat group and each time we are even more surprised by the amount of love, joy and connection we get to experience.

Dana Sertel (Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher)
Dana is based in Berlin where she practices and teaches daily – Ashtanga and Jivamukti Yoga. She cares a great deal about authenticity and vulnerability. She is giving thanks to her teachers, who always accompanied her with a loving eye, while giving her the tools she needed. Her classes are vigorous and always come with carefully curated music.

Dana’s youtube video

Philippa Heyden (Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher)
In early 2015 she completed the Teacher Training at Radhanath Swami’s magical Govardhan Eco Village in India with her teachers Sharon Gannon, David Life, Lady Ruth and Jules Febre under her mentor Yogeswari.

What inspires her about Jivamukti Yoga is the combination of intensive asana practice, meditation, chanting, various styles of music, pranayama, awareness and awareness of the direct and indirect environment.

August Intermediate Rowena Johnson English Dynamic Olea, Italy Jivamukti

Alchemy

Alchemy

Intermediate ✺ 2- 8 August 2026 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

The term “alchemy” is often used metaphorically to describe processes of transformation and creation, a process that results in a profound shift from a fragmented state towards a newly integrated state of being. Just as ancient alchemists sought to transmute base metals into gold, this metaphorical alchemy represents the pursuit of inner refinement and expansion.

During this week, beyond the hustle culture of daily life, you’ll be invited to take the introspective space required for the delicate process of inner transformation. Yogic practices provide us with very tools needed for turning inwards.

The asana practice will be Jivamukti, a dynamic vinyasa designed to bring a deep sense of connection and awareness to our body and mind. Each morning will start with chanting, meditation & pranayama, followed by a deep & purposeful asana practice. The afternoons will be dedicated to going deeper into our understanding and exploration of meditation, pranayama and asana.

Rowena Johnson

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

Surrender to Rise

Surrender to Rise- fully booked

Intermediate ✺ 28. Mai- 3. Juni 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Manchmal verläuft unser Lebensweg nicht nur in Schritten „nach vorn“, sondern auch im Zurückblicken und Innehalten. Surrender to Rise lädt dich ein, für eine Woche ganz loszulassen – alte Muster, Erwartungen und das ständige Müssen – um in der Tiefe deines Seins Ruhe, Vertrauen und neue Kraft zu finden. Es geht um das Zulassen, das Dich-Hineinfallen in das, was ist.

Durch kraftvolle Vinyasa-Flow-Klassen mit vielen Hands-on-Assists, Meditation, Atem, Stille und Naturerfahrungen entsteht Raum, um wirklich anzukommen. Surrender bedeutet für mich vor allem Hingabe an dich selbst – darin möchte ich dich bestärken und dich während des Retreats begleiten. Es ist der Mut, auch das Unbequeme zu fühlen und das Ungewisse zuzulassen, um dahinter etwas Wahrhaftiges zu entdecken.

In diesem Prozess lernst du, dich selbst zu halten – statt dich festzuhalten. Surrender to Rise ist eine Reise zu deiner inneren Quelle, damit du deine Kräfte bündeln und vielleicht über dich selbst hinauswachsen kannst.

Am Nachmittag widmen wir uns in Asana-Workshops einzelnen Haltungen ganz bewusst. Mindestens einmal lassen wir in einer restorativen Praxis los oder chanten gemeinsam Mantren.

Miriam Hunyadi

Miriam praktiziert Yoga seit 2008 und hat ihre Reise über Hot Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa Flow bis hin zu Ashtanga Vinyasa gemacht. Besonders begeistert sie die innere Ruhe und Kraft, die eine regelmäßige Praxis mit sich bringt. Sie hat Ausbildungen im Vinyasa Flow und im traditionellen Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga abgeschlossen, einschließlich Mudras, Bandhas und Pranayama-Techniken. Ihre Erfahrung und die tiefen Einsichten, die sie auf diesem Weg gewonnen hat, fließen in ihren Unterricht ein, um den Schüler:innen nicht nur körperliche, sondern auch geistige und spirituelle Impulse zu geben. Miriam unterrichtet in verschiedenen Studios in Wien und Umgebung und verbindet ihre Liebe zur Natur mit der Freude am Reisen – besonders an ungewöhnliche Orte. Auch ihre Ukulele begleitet sie oft, denn sie liebt es, mit Musik und Begegnungen neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen. Ihr Motto lautet: „Life is your teacher, and yoga is soul education.“

Intermediate Awakening English October Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Olea, Italy Yin Restorative Léa Hatahet

Seeds of Change

Seeds of Change - fully booked

Intermediate ✺ 5-11 October 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

Plant and nurture seeds of change as we come together to share practice just after the seasons change.

Embracing this idea we will use the tools and techniques from our yoga practice to find presence and awareness, thinking about how this not only relates to moments on the mat, but the wider world and our lifestyles. This retreat is designed as a sanctuary for resetting and fostering deep connection – through movement, self-exploration, and community. Unplug to recharge, build lasting bonds with like-minded individuals, and gather renewed energy for the season ahead.

We will find balance in our physical bodies through a thoughtful mix of Vinyasa, Yin and self care practices and offer fresh perspectives.

There will be opportunities to go deeper in workshops, building confidence and offering many new ideas to take home with you.

In the morning we flow and as a practitioner, you are free to find opportunity and potential in the practice. Evening practice embraces a change of pace, prompting us to slow down and care for our bodies in a different way integrating restorative, yin and Myofascial release.

Paul McConnell

Paul teaches Awakening Yoga which is a progressive yoga system with an emphasis on ritual and self inquiry.

He discovered yoga initially whilst working as a nurse, being quite physically active but not proactively looking after his body. From there he discovered everything else that the practice has to offer. As a teacher he has continued to develop his understanding through Advanced teacher training, breath work with The Oxygen Advantage, mobility approaches with FRC and training with his own coaches and teachers.

Everyone is welcome to classes designed to offer a complete practice encouraging personal exploration, potentiality, and freedom of movement.

Mind and body are connected and Paul believes that a consistent, physical practice can positively impact other areas of your life and wellbeing.

More about Paul

Léa Hatahet

Léa is from France – she lived in Japan and Dubai during her studies and then moved to Brussels, where she has been teaching yoga for the last 4 years. A lifelong lover of movement, she discovered yoga in 2015 after years of practicing track and field and several injuries.

In recognising that we are all unique, Léa seeks to support her students by meeting them where they are. She encourages exploring movements and options to suit individual bodies and experiences. Over the last 2 years, Léa has completed her 300-hour Awakening Yoga training with Patrick Beach and Carling Harps. Teaching both vinyasa and yin with an insight into intelligent sequencing and mobility, she will help you to make your way to more advanced poses, find a free and open practice or equally slow down through a safe, supportive, and step-by-step approach.

When not teaching, Léa loves hiking, taking pictures, visiting neighbourhood coffee shops and exploring movement in various forms.

The Heart Connection

The Heart Connection

Intermediate ✺ 28.9.- 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.

Sandra Gerhard

Sandra ist Jivamuktilehrerin (800+ Stunden, Advanced Certified). Sie absolvierte ihre Ausbildung in Rhinebeck, NY, im Jahr 2010, und seitdem unterrichtet sie in Berlin und weltweit. Seit 2016 übt sie regelmäßig Ashtanga/Mysore. 2019 entschied sie sich, ihre eigene Yogaschule – Practice – zu kreieren, in der sie ihre Erfahrungen aus der Jivamukti- und Ashtangapraxis weitergeben kann. Sie bedankt sich bei ihren Lehrern, die sie auf dem Weg bis hierhin begleitet haben. Sandra ist davon überzeugt, dass eine regelmäßige Praxis der Schlüssel zu sich selbst ist. Sie unterrichtet anspruchsvolle, ruhige Klassen, ohne jegliche Hektik, aber mit viel Feuer. Diverse andere Erfahrungen prägten sie auf ihrem Weg zur Yogalehrerin – die Arbeit als Filmschauspielerin, Fotografin, sowie als Leiterin einer Schauspielagentur. Sandra ist Mutter von drei Kindern.

Beauty of Simplicity

Beauty of Simplicity - fully booked

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.

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.
