Ground & Grow

All Level ✺ 21- 26 February 2026 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

By late February, we begin to sense a shift. Winter is still present, but subtle signs of change are in the air. It’s a time of transition. This in-between space invites us to pause, to tend to ourselves, and to prepare for what’s next.

This week is designed to nourish you, and to support you in finding steadiness in the midst of change. Through grounding practices and moments of deep rest, we create space to reconnect with ourselves, with nature, and with each other.

Mornings will begin with dynamic vinyasa yoga to move energy, wake the body, and build strength and clarity. These sessions are energising yet accessible, helping you feel more spacious, present, and alive.

In the afternoons, we’ll slow down. Practices like yoga nidra, restorative yoga, and mantra singing will support deep relaxation and emotional release. These quieter moments allow us to soften, listen inwards, and restore balance.

As we spend time away from the noise of daily life, there’s room to listen to what’s truly nourishes us. This will help us prepare for the season ahead with more clarity, calm, and connection.

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.

Finding
Fluidity

All Level
20- 25 February 2025
La Viñuela, Spain

As winter ends, the cosmos invites us into a realm of dreams, intuition, and creativity—welcome to Pisces Season!

This time is about trusting the flow, like water carrying us where we need to go, even if we’re unsure of the destination. Pisces season feels like a long exhale, a moment to embrace the unknown, ride the waves, and surrender to the universe.

Throughout our week together, we’ll harness these energies through movement practices that nurture your whole being, helping you reconnect with your inner self and embrace fluidity, balance, and change.

A week to rediscover your inner peace, explore your limitless potential, and let yoga and nature refresh and rejuvenate you.

Mornings will flow with dynamic, purposeful vinyasa practice, followed by daily guided meditations and breathwork. In the afternoons, we’ll focus on restoration with yin yoga, yoga nidra, and deep tension release. We’ll also weave in yogic philosophy and astrology, applying them to everyday life for a mindful and magical experience.

Vera Bettiol

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.

Alchemy

Alchemy

Intermediate ✺ 21 - 27 March 2025 ✺
Marrakech, Morocco

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. 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.

Christina Bruns
Über ihre langjährige Tanzkarriere hat Christina den Zugang zum Yoga gefunden. 2015 absolvierte sie ihre 200h Ausbildung bei Sampoorna Yoga in Goa, Indien. 2020 ist sie nach Indien zurückgekehrt, um an ihrer Schule die 300h zu absolvieren. Danach hat sich ihr Leben verändert und sie wollte frei von allen Normen einen Ort kreieren, an dem jeder Mensch willkommen ist und akzeptiert wird, genauso wie er ist mit allen Facetten. Im Januar 2021 eröffnete sie ihr erster Yogastudio in Wien, das TRBY Yoga Studio.

Christinas Klassen sind körperlich fordernd und sie liebt das Spiel mit den Dynamiken. Ein moderner Ansatz ist ihr wichtig in ihren Klassen. Für sie bedeutet Yoga zu unterrichten, vor allem den Menschen der mit ihr praktiziert in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Alle Formen die vorgegeben werden dürfen frei interpretiert werden, um so zu 100% im Körper anzukommen. Yoga zu praktizieren bedeutet für sie einen Zugang zum Körper herzustellen, Akzeptanz zu finden für das was ist, die Schönheit zu sehen in den kleinen Dingen des Lebens und eine Verbindung zwischen Körper und Geist herzustellen, um das Vertrauen und die Liebe wieder zurück in den Körper zu bringen und von der Matte in den Alltag zu übertragen.

The Magic Dark

The Magic Dark

Intermediate ✺ 25 February -2 March 2025 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

The winter season draws us in to its cloak of darkness. Many of us may find ourselves wishing these months away, waiting for the light of spring and summer to return.

But winter has such richness within her darkness. In the magic dark of winter we not only have the opportunity to rest in natures natural ebb to the flow, we also have the time to tend to the stoke the fire of creative flow within us.

Now is the time for inspiration to be nourished, as we light candles, read poetry, listen to music and connect to the source within.

This special retreat will be dedicated to the Magic Dark of Winter. Each morning will start with Mediation, Chanting and Kriya practices. Followed by Asana and Pranayama. In the afternoons, we will meditate again, read poetry and discuss yogic philosophy and its modern application to our daily lives.

Für sie bedeutet Yoga zu unterrichten, vor allem den Menschen der mit ihr praktiziert in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Alle Formen die vorgegeben werden dürfen frei interpretiert werden, um so zu 100% im Körper anzukommen. Yoga zu praktizieren bedeutet für sie einen Zugang zum Körper herzustellen, Akzeptanz zu finden für das was ist, die Schönheit zu sehen in den kleinen Dingen des Lebens und eine Verbindung zwischen Körper und Geist herzustellen, um das Vertrauen und die Liebe wieder zurück in den Körper zu bringen und von der Matte in den Alltag zu übertragen.

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.
