Ground & Grow

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.

Sacred Beginnings

Sacred Beginnings

All Level ✺ 26- 31 January 2026 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Dieses Retreat ist eine Einladung, dich mit dir zu verbinden, innere Ruhe zu finden und in Gemeinschaft zu sein.

Der Winter lädt uns ein, stiller zu werden. Die Natur zieht sich zurück und sammelt Kraft im Inneren, um im Frühling neu zu erblühen. Auch wir dürfen diese Zeit nutzen, um nach innen zu schauen, uns zu entspannen und uns auszurichten für 2026.

Was ist deine Intention für 2026? Was ist dein Fokus? Welche Samen möchtest du sähen, die in den kommenden Monaten wachsen dürfen?

Ende Januar, wenn das Jahr noch frisch und voller Möglichkeiten ist. Wir öffnen einen Raum für eine tiefe spirituelle Verbindung. Du wirst Gelegenheit haben, bewusst in dich hinein zu spüren, deine Intentionen für das Jahr zu setzen oder dich mit deiner bereits gesetzten Intention noch tiefer zu verbinden.

Wir starten den Tag mit Meditation, Pranayama und kraftvollem Jivamukti Yoga. Eine sanfte Praxis am Abend lässt sich entspannen. Du wirst Zugang zu kraftvollen spirituellen Praktiken und Ritualen erhalten, die dich dabei unterstützen, dich mit dir zu verbinden. Praktiken, die dich auch zurück im Alltag begleiten, um immer wieder zu deinem Fokus zurückzukehren.

Sei dir bewusst: Das Jahr wartet nur darauf, von dir gestaltet zu werden – in Klarheit, in deiner Präsenz und deinem Licht.

Silke Langer

Silke verbindet ihre Erfahrungen aus dem Jivamukti Yoga und Ashtanga in ihrem Unterricht. Mit viel Hingabe und Disziplin für ihre eigene Praxis inspiriert sie auch ihre Schüler:innen. Sie glaubt fest daran, dass wir hier sind, um Spaß zu haben, zu lernen, zu wachsen, unsere Träume zu leben, die wir in unserem Herzen mit auf diese Welt gebracht haben. Silke’s Lebensfreude und ihre positive Art sind ansteckend.

Wenn sie kein Yoga unterrichtet, begleitet Silke als Spiritual Life Coachin und Mentorin Menschen darin, sich selbst im Herzen zu begegnen. Mit einer Kombination aus Coaching, spirituellen Tools und der phänomenale Aufstellung unterstützt sie ihre Klient:innen dabei Muster und Blockaden zu lösen, die eigene Schöpferkraft zu aktivieren, um sich in Verbindung mit dem Higher Self das allerschönste Leben zu kreieren.

Belonging

Belonging

All Level ✺ 31 Jan- 5 Feb 2026 ✺ La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

This is a women-only retreat.

Beneath the winter sun, we’ll examine what it means to belong to oneself. What are the pieces that are deeply yours? What is yours to carry, and what have you been holding for others that it is perhaps time to release? What do the pieces of you need to feel fully integrated, deeply loved?

As the days slowly begin to lengthen, we will embrace every version of ourselves through the magic of long nights and quiet days—a time when what is old has time to compost to nourish all that we will create. We’ll begin our days with reflective meditations and embodied vinyasa practices that will challenge our bodies to open, embrace, and simplify. In the afternoons, we’ll turn inward to somatic practices to release the burdens we carry, settle our nervous systems, and call in the power of deep rest. We will tap into our intuition through embodied emotional release practices, yin yoga, and somatic tools and resources that will highlight what is most essential within us, reminding you that you have always belonged to yourself.

Dark, cool evenings will turn cozy with practices like yoga nidra and restorative yoga, and together, we will explore themes of self-love, self-knowledge, and authenticity. We’ll dive deep into our intuition to find what is required of us to move through winter’s quiet and reemerge in a state of rebirth as a more flowing, accepting, and easeful expression of our deepest selves.

Come as you are—radiant from the holiday season or ready for rest. A wellspring of warmth, comfort, and belonging is waiting for you.

Lauren Simonis

Hello beautiful humans, I’m Lauren, and I’ve been a yoga teacher for nine years, a facilitator for twenty, and a lover of all-female spaces my entire life. Nothing brings me more joy than the magic of women coming together and the profound sense of belonging and deep love that emerges. Yoga and embodiment practices offer the opportunity to do just that.

I moved to Portugal from the U.S. in 2016, and that’s where my passion for yoga evolved from a hobby to a habit to a passion. I first began teaching aerial yoga and then expanded my training to include vinyasa, hatha, yin, restorative, yoga nidra, and myofascial release when I realized how much joy my students brought me. Since 2020, I have become increasingly engaged with somatic movement and embodied yoga. With these experiences, I’ve found more and more opportunities to nurture my students through healing, love, and support. My approach combines a passion for softness and rest with a deep connection to the wild and untamed that vibrates within us all.

As a yoga teacher, I am often described as joyful and playful. My classes are filled with light-hearted invitations to explore new movements and power, cues for somatic engagement, mobility exercises, and regular reminders that every body practicing yoga will look a little different—and that is beautiful! My goal is to help you connect to your spirit, your strength, and your sense of fun.

Vibrations of the Heart

Vibrations of the Heart

All Level ✺ 28 January - 2 February 2025 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

This winter, treat yourself to a retreat in the most southern part of Europe, where the sun graces the skies for many hours each day. Nestled in the stunning Andalusian mountains, you’ll stay in a beautifully designed house that offers both warmth and comfort with its cozy heating and crackling fireplaces. Surrounded by breathtaking views and tranquil nature, you’ll also savor delicious, plant-based meals prepared with love by our private retreat chef. This is the perfect setting to recharge and reconnect with yourself.

Each morning, we’ll flow through a vinyasa practice that is both gentle and energizing, inspired by the joy we can generate simply through movement. With thoughtfully curated music, these sessions will leave you feeling uplifted and connected to your inner vitality.

In the afternoons, we’ll embrace deep rest through restorative yoga and yoga nidra, allowing the body and mind to completely relax. During these peaceful moments, we’ll also explore the vibrational healing of mantra chanting. Mantras offer a unique way to bring focus and calm to your mind, as well as to foster a sense of connection within and around you.

Throughout the retreat, we’ll explore how ancient teachings—such as yoga philosophy, mantras, and their ties to Hindu mythology—can bring meaning and balance to our modern lives. Whether you’re new to mantras or have prior experience, you’ll be welcomed into an inclusive and supportive environment where you can participate at your own comfort level.

Come and join us for a deeply nourishing experience filled with warmth, movement, rest, and connection.

The Magic Dark

The Magic Dark

Intermediate ✺ 21- 26 January 2024 ✺ 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.

As the Earth experiences seasons, so do our bodies and minds. Spring brings new life and color, summer rains abundance, autumn calls us to shed our unnecessary layers, and winter turns us inward. How can we find a way to honor this phase that is so profoundly connected not only to life, but to who we are as well?

Winter is a time when both our bodies and the earth are slower, calmer, and more withdrawn. We burrow into piles of warm blankets, and we are called to rest more deeply. Winter is ruled by our intuition, so we will set our intentions for the year ahead. What are we ready to let go of? What are we ready to call in?

During this retreat, we will move our bodies in dynamic vinyasa morning classes that will get stagnant energy flowing again, leaving us feeling freer and lighter.

In the afternoons and evenings we will rest deeply to release even subtler layers of tension from the body and mind. Often these are a kind of holding on that we are not even aware of. When they are released, we find space, relief, and we feel an opening up.

 

These sessions will include yoga nidra, a guided meditation while you are laying down, restorative yoga, in which we restore the body to a state of complete relaxation, and singing mantras, to connect to our hearts.

The Spanish sun will bring light and uplifting energy. The mountains will offer us a broader view. And as we zoom out from our daily lives, we will give rise to new ideas, inspiration, and energy for the year ahead.

Gift yourself a week of quiet me-time surrounded by others looking for connection, inspiration, and shared laughter. Come to rest, reflect and get new energy for the year ahead.

ceramics workshop


with Danyela @totumaceramics, duration: 3.5 hours

We love the meditating effect working with clay has! Just like in yoga there is no pressure, you can enjoy the process. If you have experience already or not – it is always nice to join the workshop. Maybe it is going to be a new inspiration you take home with you and find a ceramics course back home?!

During this workshop you will learn how to hand-build either a cup or a mug (or whatever you like) with a technique called Neriage, in which colored clays are used to create a unique marble effect on each piece.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, as no prior experience is necessary.
All materials are included, and you will be able to take your piece home.

If you want to explore your creativity through your hands this is a great opportunity!

all yoga equipment is available at our retreat location, as well as towels & bed linen. we’ll let you know what’s good to bring, a few days before your retreat.

Divine Feminine

Divine Feminine

All Level ✺ 15-21 January 2023 ✺ La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Every day, we walk in the depths of a deeply masculine world, but endless possibilities are waiting for us when we step into the sacred circle of sisterhood. 

In this women-only retreat, we will learn from, connect with, and co-create alongside one another. We will explore many avenues of self-expression through daily yoga and meditation, as well as movement, breath, journaling, and embodiment practices. We will tap a toe into the magic of living alongside our natural, feminine rhythm, and we will support one another as equals as we move into our shadows to shine new light on the beauty that is flowing within us all.  

Throughout our retreat, we will form a circle of sisterhood where we can hold space for one another and breathe in the healing of our shared experiences. Through the enchantment of self-expression, we will find a deeper connection to ourselves and to one another, leaving our week together to return home with a more profound understanding of the magic pulsing within all of us.

An important note: This retreat is open to all bodies walking in the expression of femininity. If you identify in another way and still wish to attend, we are so open to hearing from you and we can either discuss whether this event will support you, or we can direct you towards other practitioners who hold the best possible space for you.

Lauren Simonis

Hello beautiful humans! I’m Lauren and I’ve been a yoga teacher for five years, a facilitator for twenty, and a lover of all-female spaces my entire life. I believe there is magic when women come together and share their experiences. There is a sacred divinity that lives in each of us just waiting to be brought to the surface, and sometimes, a room filled with other voices calling out, “Yes, sister!” is exactly what we need to leave feeling a deeper sense of love and devotion to all of the magic that lives inside of us.

Lauren moved to Portugal from the U.S. in 2016 and that’s where her passion for yoga grew from a hobby, to a habit, to a passion. She first began teaching aerial yoga and then expanded her training to include vinyasa, hatha, yin, and myofascial release when she realised how much joy her students brought her. With these experiences, she found herself immersed more and more in all-female spaces, and in them, she found the healing, love, and support she had been craving all her life. These experiences inspired her to take additional training in creating sacred spaces for women so she could share the magic she found within them.
