Root & Revive

Root & Revive

Mittelstufe ✺ in German ✺ 10-16 Aug ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Es ist Zeit wieder satt in dir anzukommen.
Der Seele ein zu Hause in deiner Atmung geben.
Der Atmung ein zu Hause in deinem Körper ermöglichen.

Durch eine intensive Asana Praxis im Vinyasa Flow Stil am Morgen holen wir die Gedanken zurück in deinen Tempel, in deinen Körper und schaffen eine feste, friedliche Verbindung zu dir selbst.

Gut zugängliche, geführte Meditationseinheiten am Morgen und Nachmittags helfen dir aus deinem Alltag herauszutreten, damit sich Ruhe integrieren kann.

Dieses Retreat unterstützt dich dabei deinen eigenen Weg in dieser Welt zu ebnen, mehr Urvertrauen in dir aufzubauen und eigene Ressourcen zu beleben.

Abgerundet wird unsere Root & Revive Woche von fordernden Asana Workshops, gemeinsames Chanten, gepaart mit tiefgreifenden Visualisierungs-Reisen. Dabei bist du umgeben von einer magischen Location und einer liebevollen Gruppe an Gleichgesinnten.

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

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

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.

about the place

It doesn’t seem possible that In Sabina 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. More

Inner Wisdom

Inner Wisdom

Intermediate ✺ in German ✺ 3- 9 Aug ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Hast du grundsätzlich Vertrauen ins Leben? Hörst du immer auf dein Bauchgefühl oder triffst du Entscheidungen eher zum Wohle der anderen? Achtest du deine Grenzen? 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.

Community days

Community days

Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain ✺ 1- 16 March 2026

The Community Days at Casa Erica are an invitation to slow down and experience everyday life in a warm and supportive community. You will stay in your own private room, and share the retreat kitchen with fellow travelers. Cooking and eating together quickly becomes one of the highlights of the experience — a chance to enjoy simple meals, exchange recipes, and gather around the table.

During your stay, you can join several yoga, pilates, or movement classes in our beautiful indoor shala. Beyond the classes, the shala is always open, offering you space for your own practice, meditation, or quiet reflection. In the evenings, we light the fireplace and come together in the cozy atmosphere of the living room — for conversation, laughter, or simply to relax side by side.

The days unfold with a natural rhythm: time for yourself, time in nature, and time to connect. You might take a walk to the beach, join an excursion with others, or share a spontaneous workshop or creative session. Participation is always optional — you choose how much community and how much solitude you need.

The spirit of these Community Days is one of openness and curiosity. It is not a fixed retreat program, but a shared living experience where each person contributes to the atmosphere. Optional services such as shared car rentals, massages, or local fruit and vegetable deliveries make life easier.

In short, the Community Days at Casa Erica offer a balance between independence and togetherness — a space where you can rest, create, and be inspired, while enjoying the company of like-minded people in the gentle light of the Andalusian coast.

 

Where

Casa Erica is where it all began — our home and the heart of our retreats since 2014. Nestled peacefully on the Andalusian coast, between Málaga and Nerja, it offers a serene setting just a short walk from the beach.

As the winters are mild over here we felt it would be a great idea to open our doors for everyone seeking more sunlight in that time.

What we love most about this place are the soft pastel sunsets, the untamed beaches, and the easygoing Andalusian spirit that fills the air. Casa Erica isn’t just a venue; it’s a home we cherish and love to share — along with our beloved companions, Alpha the dog and Hanuman the cat.

Here, time slows down, nature embraces you, and community comes to life.

What to expect

Nourishing Simplicity – Enjoy wholesome plant-based food, peaceful nature, and the grounding rhythm of slow living.

 

Shared Connection – Meet like-minded people and enjoy meaningful moments together through yoga, meals, and relaxed community life.

Freedom & Flexibility – Join group activities or simply rest, read, and recharge — your days are completely your own.

Mild Andalusian Climate – Bask in sunshine and soft breezes almost all year round, surrounded by sea views and olive groves.

What is included?

  • stay in your own room (with en-suite or shared bathroom) at Casa Erica
  • use the retreat kitchen to prepare your meals — and enjoy cooking together with others
  • join 3–5 yoga, pilates, or movement classes each week
