Empower

Empower

Intermediate ✺ 4- 10 September 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

What is strength? And is it true to say its opposite is softness and opening?

Gradually we come to realise that true strength is what sustains us from within. It is an everlasting well of nourishment through the magical, the transitional, the turbulent, and the transformational experiences of this human life. Throughout our week together, we will explore the meaning of strength, the soft well of inner knowing that powers it, and the tools yoga offers us to unlock the dormant power within.

Each morning will start with chanting, meditation, and pranayama, followed by a deep and purposeful asana practice interspersed with supportive assists, personal insights, spoken word, and uplifting music. Jivamukti yoga not only nurtures physical strength and flexibility but also encourages a mindful and compassionate approach to life, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and harmony with the world. Each practice is designed to empower a greater connection to your physical strength and inner resiliency, and you can expect deeper insights as well as a cohesive and supported flow through the week.

Our afternoons will be a harmonious fusion of physical and spiritual practices designed to explore specific aspects of strength and power in more detail. Chanting and yoga philosophy will serve to deepen and contextualize these themes. This retreat is an invitation to explore the boundless power you hold within yourself—a journey that transcends the physical, leading to a profound awakening of your inner strength and resilience.

Rowena Johnson

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

Harmony of Self

Harmony of the Self

Mittelstufe ✺ 24- 30 August 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

In diesem Retreat wirst du die Möglichkeit haben, in eine tiefe Ruhe einzutauchen, deine innere Stimme auf eine neue, klare Weise wahrzunehmen und langfristig neue Energie zu tanken. In einer Atmosphäre der Achtsamkeit und Verbundenheit kannst du Abstand vom Alltag gewinnen und dich vollkommen auf deine innere Welt einlassen.

Der Tag beginnt mit einer zweistündigen Vinyasa-Flow-Asana-Praxis, die dir hilft, deinen Körper intensiv wahrzunehmen und deine Grenzen achtsam zu erkunden. Durch die bewusste Rückkehr in den Moment und die Umgebung kannst du dich ganz auf das Hier und Jetzt einlassen.

Am Nachmittag erwartet dich eine abwechslungsreiche Praxis mit Asana-Workshops, die dir Raum für persönliches Wachstum bieten. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch Meditationen, die dir helfen, innere Stille zu finden und neue Perspektiven zu entdecken. Die Klänge des Harmoniums und gemeinsames Chanten begleiten dich auf einer Reise nach innen.

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.

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
The In between

All Level ✺ 26 June- 2 July 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

We spend so much time being busy and doing things that we sometimes forget how to take a break, slow down, and simply be. The Japanese concept of Ma describes a pause in time, an interval or emptiness in space. Ma is the time and space life needs to breathe, to feel and connect. If we have no time, if our space is restricted, we cannot grow. This universal principle applies to every aspect of life. Together, we will create a space in between – a space to pause, to move, to breathe, to feel and to listen within.

As we move into summer, this retreat allows us to pause and harness the magic of transition for ourselves.
You’re invited to come as you are and reconnect to your true being. The breath connecting mind and body, a powerful bridge to unlock the wisdom our body holds for us.

We prepared a finely curated program for you, combining Jivamukti yoga, breathwork and meditation, aiming to strengthen and soften.
Inspired by the chakra system, our practices will allow us to open, clear and energise. So you can come back to you.

We’ll start the mornings with Jivamukti Yoga. Classes will be fuelled by passionately curated playlists, chanting, dharma and of course vigorous asana practice. Our afternoon practice will focus on the breath. We will explore pranayama and breathwork techniques, allowing us to experience and understand our bodies in a different way.

Katharina Seeger

Katharina is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. She is curious, creative and always interested in building connection.
In her classes, you can expect dynamic asana, carefully curated playlists, along with mantra, breathing exercises, and hands-on assists. Throughout, there is a focus on connecting to philosophy, exploring alignment, and diving into meditation techniques. Her classes blend challenging asana practice with spirituality, helping people reconnect with their essence. If you want to take a class with Katharina, you can practice with her in Cologne and online.

Katharina discovered Jivamukti Yoga in 2011, has been studying the method ever since and teaching for more than ten years. A few years ago she discovered breathwork and decided to train with Christine Schmid and Connie Biesalski, so she could make the power of breathing accessible for others.

Unity

Unity

Intermediate ✺ 19- 25 June 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

In einer Welt, die oft von Dualität und Trennung geprägt ist, ist Einheit eine der kraftvollsten und transformierendsten Kräfte, die wir erfahren können.

„Unity“ – das Zusammenspiel aller Teile zu einem harmonischen Ganzen – ist nicht nur ein Konzept, sondern ein Zustand der Verbundenheit und des Einklangs, sowohl mit uns selbst als auch mit allem um uns herum.

In der Yogapraxis erfahren wir diese Einheit von Körper und Geist durch die Verbindung der Dualitäten: Kraft und Flexibilität, Stabilität und Leichtigkeit, Anspannung und Loslassen. 

Durch dynamische und ruhige Asana-Praxis, Meditation und Atemtechniken üben wir uns darin, Balance zwischen Gegensätzlichkeiten in Körper und Geist zu finden, um so einen Zustand von Harmonie und innerer Ruhe zu erleben – on and off the mat.

Dieses Retreat lädt dich ein, in Einklang und Balance mit dir selbst und in Verbindung mit der Gruppe zu kommen und die empowernde Erfahrung von Verbundenheit, Unity zu erfahren! 

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.

Alchemy

Alchemy - fully booked

Intermediate ✺ 3- 9 August 2025 ✺ 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.

Practice & Presence

Practice & Presence

Intermediate ✺ 18- 24 September 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Spain

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.

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 Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Into the Wild

Mittelstufe ✺ 12- 18 Juni 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Unsere  Yoga- & Culinary-Retreats sind für alle, die sich für die vegane Küche interessieren, mehr darüber lernen möchten oder einfach nur Inspiration suchen.

Sonnenschein auf deiner Haut, eine sanfte Meeresbrise, die durch dein Haar weht – der Sommer zeigt sich von seiner schönsten Seite. Der längste Tag des Jahres steht kurz bevor, und alles fühlt sich lebendig, bunt und frei an. Die Natur ist in Hochform, wild und farbenfroh – genau wie wir.

Dieses Retreat ist deine Einladung, mehr Leichtigkeit, Freiheit und ein tiefes Gefühl von Verbundenheit in dein Leben zu bringen.

Wir starten jeden Morgen mit kraftvollen Vinyasa-Flow-Sessions, die dir helfen, Altes abzuwerfen und Platz für Neues zu schaffen. Dein „Monkey Mind“ – unser rastloser Kopf – kommt dabei zur Ruhe, klarer und fokussierter. Mit Pranayama und Meditation tauchen wir tiefer in die Stille ein und öffnen uns für Neues.

In den Asana-Workshops vertiefst du deine Yoga-Praxis, und beim gemeinsamen Chanten entsteht eine besondere Verbindung – zu dir selbst, zur Natur und zur warmherzigen Community vor Ort.

Ein Retreat, das dir mehr Leichtigkeit, Tiefe und Freude bringt.  

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

Denise Bürlein

Denise ist Yogalehrerin in Wien und bietet dort regelmäßig Klassen sowie Workshops an und unterrichtet bei Teacher Trainings. Seit fast acht Jahren teilt sie ihre Leidenschaft für Yoga und hatte das Glück, von verschiedenen internationalen Lehrer:innen zu lernen.
Ihre 300h Ausbildung absolvierte sie 2020 bei Mathieu Boldron, was sie tief inspiriert hat.

Zum Yoga ist Denise damals gekommen, als sie sich überwältigt gefühlt hat. Alles war zu viel, zu laut, zu schnell.
Yoga hat ihr vor allem beigebracht, Ruhe zu finden – vor allem in stressigen Zeiten.
Es hat ihr geholfen, eine neue Verbindung zu ihr selbst aufzubauen und das Loslassen zu lernen, anstatt krampfhaft festzuhalten.

Ihre Einheiten sind kraftvolle Vinyasa-Flows, die dazu einladen, eine Verbindung zu dir selbst und deiner Umgebung herzustellen.
Sie kräftigen den Körper, aber noch wichtiger: sie stärken den Geist. Das Ziel ist, loszulassen und nicht an Dingen festzuhalten.

Culinary Workshops:

mit Caro Gante

In einer Reihe von drei inspirierenden Workshops nimmt Caro dich mit auf eine kulinarische Reise, bei der du grundlegende Küchenfertigkeiten erlernst und wertvolle Einblicke gewinnst. Mit ihrer umfassenden Erfahrung in der veganen Küche und ihrem Fachwissen aus dem Bereich Holistic Health bieten dir diese Workshops eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, die Verbindung zwischen köstlicher, pflanzenbasierter Ernährung und ganzheitlichem Wohlbefinden zu erkunden. Während du einige von Caros Lieblingsrezepten ausprobierst, wird deine kulinarische Kreativität auf spielerische Weise entfacht und begleitet dich durch das gesamte Retreat.

Geschmäcker und Aromen
Entdecke, wie du mit einfachen Techniken alltägliche Gerichte verfeinern und ihnen kräftige, dynamische Aromen verleihen kannst. In diesem Workshop lernst du, aromatisierte Öle herzustellen, vielseitige Saucen und Dressings zu kreieren und Gewürze sowie Kräuter perfekt einzusetzen.

Haltbarmachen, Einlegen und Fermentieren
Wir erlernen fünf verschiedene Methoden des Konservierens. Diese Techniken helfen, Nährstoffe zu erhalten, Aromen zu intensivieren und saisonale Produkte das ganze Jahr über zu genießen. Zudem reduzierst du Lebensmittelverschwendung und sparst Geld.

Pasta making: Hands-On Experience
Lerne in diesem Workshop, wie du ganz einfach frische, hausgemachte Pasta im italienischen Stil herstellst. Gemeinsam bereiten wir drei verschiedene Pasta-Arten zu und tauchen dabei tief in die Kunst der Pastaherstellung ein.

Caro Gante

Retreat Chef and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Caro will guide you with her creative approach through three workshops in which she’ll share her knowledge and passion for wholesome vegan food.
We met Caro in 2021 and it was a match! Since then Caro cooked for many of our Retreat groups a creative, detailed, diverse and always very beautifully presented menu. It is both: healthy & delicious.
Caro is passionate about food since her childhood and it is just a pleasure and so inspiring experiencing her following that passion. Her ideas about creative plant-based dishes are endless & very intuitive. Her love for nature and ingredients gets delivered through her plates.

Harmony of Self

Harmony of Self

Mittelstufe ✺ 2- 8 Oktober 2025 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

In diesem Retreat wirst du die Möglichkeit haben, in eine tiefe Ruhe einzutauchen, deine innere Stimme auf eine neue, klare Weise wahrzunehmen und langfristig neue Energie zu tanken. In einer Atmosphäre der Achtsamkeit und Verbundenheit kannst du Abstand vom Alltag gewinnen und dich vollkommen auf deine innere Welt einlassen.

Der Tag beginnt mit einer zweistündigen Vinyasa-Flow-Asana-Praxis, die dir hilft, deinen Körper intensiv wahrzunehmen und deine Grenzen achtsam zu erkunden. Durch die bewusste Rückkehr in den Moment und die Umgebung kannst du dich ganz auf das Hier und Jetzt einlassen.

Am Nachmittag erwartet dich eine abwechslungsreiche Praxis mit Asana-Workshops, die dir Raum für persönliches Wachstum bieten. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch Meditationen, die dir helfen, innere Stille zu finden und neue Perspektiven zu entdecken. Die Klänge des Harmoniums und gemeinsames Chanten begleiten dich auf einer Reise nach innen. 

Stefanie Jacoba 

Seeking for Depth & Truth. Holding Space as a Yoga Teacher. Lover of Human Beings & Dogs.

“Hi! Ich bin Stefanie und teile seit acht Jahren meine Leidenschaft für das Unterrichten. Mit starken Vinyasa Flow Klassen möchte ich mit dir eine Auszeit vom Alltag nehmen. Meine Lehre dient der Vertiefung der Verbindung zwischen dem eigenen Körper und Seele sowie zu anderen Menschen. Durch die Kombination von integrativer Ausrichtung, Pranayama, Visualisierungen und meditativer elektronischer Musik unterstütze ich dich dabei, dein authentisches Selbst zu entfesseln.
Ich habe den Unterricht von Dylan Werner immer als wertvolles Geschenk erlebt, deshalb habe ich mich entschlossen, 2019 sein 300h Advanced Teacher Training zu absolvieren und ich freue mich sehr, all meine Erkenntnisse mit dir zu teilen. Lasst uns gemeinsam in unserer Praxis den Grundstein legen, um sich wieder ganz zu fühlen.”

Inner Wilderness

Inner Wilderness

Intermediate ✺ 29 August- 5 September 2025 ✺ Šiaurys, Lithuania

In diesem Retreat lassen wir die Grenzen zwischen uns und der Natur verschwimmen, um uns selbst neu zu entdecken. Umgeben von der Stille des Waldes tauchen wir gemeinsam in eine tiefgreifende, transformierende Erfahrung ein, die Körper, Geist und Seele berührt.

Der Wald lädt uns ein, aufmerksam zuzuhören – nicht nur den Klängen der Natur, sondern auch unserem eigenen inneren Rhythmus. Während dieser Tage tauchen wir in kraftvolle Vinyasa-Flows, achtsame Meditationen und Momente der Selbstreflexion ein. Die heilende Kraft der Natur und die intensive Yoga-Praxis bieten uns neue Perspektiven und die Möglichkeit, über die vergänglichen Aspekte des Lebens hinauszublicken und eine tiefere, beständige Verbindung zur Natur zu spüren.

Jede Bewegung und jeder Atemzug bringen dich näher zu dir selbst, während du in der Natur deine eigene innere Essenz entdeckst.

Elke Waibel

Seit über zehn Jahren teilt Elke ihre Leidenschaft für Bewegung als diplomierte Tänzerin und Yogalehrerin. Ihre Arbeit vereint all ihre Erfahrungen und Ausbildungen und spiegelt ihren neugierigen Weg durch die Welt wider.

In ihren Stunden möchte Elke dazu inspirieren, den Körper als mehr als nur ein Werkzeug zu betrachten. Durch die Kombination verschiedener Techniken schafft sie einen Raum, in dem spielerisch zwischen analytischem Denken und intuitivem Fühlen gewechselt werden kann. Auf diese Weise fördert sie eine tiefere Verbindung zu sich selbst und zu ihrer Umgebung, die über die körperliche Erfahrung hinausgeht.

Ihre Motivation entspringt dem tiefen Wunsch, ein erfülltes und bedeutungsvolles Leben zu führen. Bewegung ist für Elke der wichtigste Wegbegleiter, und diese Leidenschaft bringt sie in jede Klasse und jede Begegnung ein.

about the place

During this retreat, you’ll have the unique opportunity to stay at two enchanting resorts, each offering a different perspective of this magical country. For the first three nights, you’ll reside at the renowned Riad BE Marrakech, nestled in the heart of Marrakech’s medieval Medina, just steps away from the city’s vibrant pulse. The riad is adorned with traditional Moroccan patterns and materials, creating an authentic and serene atmosphere. It features a pool, a beautiful patio, a hammam, and a massage room for your relaxation.

For the last three nights, you’ll transition to the Hideaway Camp BE Agafay, located in the serene Agafay stone desert, just 45 minutes from Marrakech. The camp offers ten spacious 50m² yurt tents, each equipped with comfortable bedding, an en-suite bathroom and shower, a wardrobe with a small kitchenette, air conditioning for heating or cooling, and a private outdoor terrace with breathtaking views. The camp also includes a restaurant and bar area where you can enjoy meals under the stars, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi with panoramic views of the desert landscape. You’ll also find a stunning sunset hill and a yoga shala, perfect for our daily practice. Each yurt tent features a skylight window, offering a view of the starry night sky.
