Last days of Summer

Last days of Summer

All Level ✺ 15- 21 October 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Set in the late-October sun of southern Spain, this retreat offers a chance to extend the feeling of summer just a little longer. While autumn settles in across northern Europe, the climate here remains mild, creating the perfect space to rest, recharge, and slow down.

Each morning begins with grounding breathwork and guided meditation, followed by a gentle vinyasa flow to awaken the body and move with the warmth of the season. Afternoons are reserved for deep rest through restorative yoga or yoga nidra, supported by the calming rhythm of the ocean. Along the way, we’ll explore yoga philosophy, mantra, and mythology as gentle tools for reflection and connection.

This retreat is an invitation to digest what has been, reset, and ease into the changing season with clarity, calm, and renewed balance.

Fleur van Hille

I’m often described as a warm and intuitive teacher, and what I love most about yoga is the sense of connection it brings — with yourself, with others, and with the world around you. A retreat offers the perfect space for this connection to unfold more deeply. Surrounded by nature and like-minded people, conversations open naturally, emotions find expression, and new insights arise.

Each morning begins in stillness with guided breathwork, meditation, or visualisation, followed by a gentle yet energising vinyasa flow, drawing on the calm and energy of a fresh new day. In the afternoons, the pace slows, allowing time to explore practices more deeply and to rest through restorative or yin yoga, or yoga nidra — sometimes enriched with mantras, music, or stories from mythology. This rhythm of movement, reflection, and rest creates a space for balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of presence throughout the retreat.

German October All Level Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Olea, Italy Yin Restorative Denise Bürlein

Wild Roots

Wild Roots

All Level ✺ 11 - 17 Oct 2026 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

Kennst du dieses Gefühl der Überforderung, wenn alles zu viel, zu laut, zu schnell ist? Wenn du im Alltag funktionierst und tust, dich dabei aber Stück für Stück ein bisschen verlierst?

In diesem Retreat richten wir den Fokus zurück auf unsere Roots, unsere Wurzeln. Wir nutzen unsere Kraft und innere Stärke, um Stabilität zu finden: Starke Wurzeln, die uns halten und tragen. Ein Gefühl von Erdung, das uns zurück in die eigene Mitte führt.

Und wo könnte man das besser spüren als in der wilden italienischen Natur? Im Herbst, wenn die Blätter bunter werden, ein Zyklus sich schließt und das Jahr langsam zur Ruhe kommt. Eine Zeit, in der Loslassen leichter fällt und Leichtigkeit wieder spürbar wird. Gut geerdet, und gleichzeitig leicht und frei.

Durch dynamische Vinyasa-Flow-Klassen kommst du wieder tiefer bei dir an. Du spürst dein wildes, freies Ich und findest gleichzeitig diese stille, kraftvolle Mitte in dir. Ergänzend zur aktiven Yogapraxis schaffen wir ruhige Räume des Loslassens: Yin Yoga, Mantra Circles und Breathwork, die dich verbinden und tragen.

Das Ziel ist, Schwere abzulegen, in deiner Mitte und deiner Kraft anzukommen und deine Stabilität und innere Stärke wiederzufinden – wild, frei, lebendig und geerdet.

 

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.

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.

Body Temple Wisdom

Body Temple Wisdom

All Level ✺ 13- 19 August 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Spürst du einen inneren Ruf nach Tiefe, nach diesem Gefühl von „da ist mehr – Antworten, aber wie komme ich dorthin?“ In dieser Woche öffnen wir gemeinsam die Tür. Wir wecken Körperintelligenz, Energie und innere Wahrheit und erleben uns in einer sanft getragenen, klaren Tiefe.

Mit den alten, yogischen Techniken des Himalayan Kriya Yoga – berührend, transformierend und zeitlos zugänglich – betreten wir den Körper als weiten Erfahrungsraum. Über Atem, Körperarbeit, Mantra und Mudra wird diese Praxis reinigend, erdend und erinnernd wirksam.

Wir beginnen den Tag aktivierend mit Meditation, Pranayama, kraftvollem Kriya Yoga und einem dynamischen, ausrichtungsbewussten Vinyasa Flow. Nachmittags wird es ruhiger und regenerierend: sanfte Bewegungen, bewusster Atem, Yin- und Restorative Haltungen sowie tief meditative Kriya-Praxis.

So entsteht Raum für Integration, innere Klarheit und Regulation des Nervensystems. Abends tauchen wir ins Bhakti ein – Chanten, Mantra Meditation und Satsang – und begegnen uns in Vertrauen, Hingabe und Verbindung.

Möchtest du deinen Körper als lebendigen Tempel erfahren – als Ort von Intuition, fließender Energie, Frieden und Weisheit?

Hannah Grau

Hannah ist Yogalehrerin mit einem tief verwurzelten, traditionellen und holistischen Zugang zur Praxis. Ihr Herz schlägt für Himalayan Kriya Yoga – jahrhundertealte, transformierende Techniken aus dem Himalaya, die Energie, Bewusstsein und Atem zu einem kraftvollen inneren Weg verbinden. Jedes Jahr reist sie nach Indien, um die zeitlosen Ursprünge des Yoga weiter zu erfahren und authentisch in ihre Arbeit einfließen zu lassen.

In ihrem Unterricht verbindet Hannah ausrichtungsbewusstes Vinyasa mit Kriya, Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation, Bhakti und Yoga Philosophie. Sie schafft sensible Räume, in denen Menschen spüren, ankommen, sich regulieren und neu ausrichten.
Für Hannah ist das Unterrichten von Yoga ein Ruf, inneres Feuer und Hingabe. Seit drei Jahren unterrichtet sie hauptberuflich in Köln, leitet feste Meditations-Gruppen, sowie 21-tägige Sadhana-Reihen und Retreats. Mit über 900 Stunden Ausbildung in Köln und Indien und einer kontinuierlichen eigenen Praxis verbindet sie Tradition, körperbewusste Ausrichtung und Herz. Teilnehmer*innen schätzen ihre Authentizität, Klarheit und die Tiefe des eigenen Erlebens in ihren Klassen.

Intermediate English October Rowena Johnson Dynamic Jivamukti La Viñuela, Spain Spain

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.

German October All Level Dynamic Jivamukti Nils Schäfer Yin Casa Erica, Spain Restorative Spain

Unfold within

Unfold Within

All Level ✺ 8-14 Oktober 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Dieses Retreat lädt dich ein, dich selbst mit neuen Augen zu sehen. Durch kraftvolle Yoga-Praxis am Morgen, beruhigende Yoga Sequenzen am Abend und Momente stiller Reflexion entsteht Raum, in dem du loslassen darfst – von Erwartungen, Rollenbildern und all dem, was du glaubst sein zu müssen.

Am Morgen erwarten dich dynamische, kraftvolle Jivamukti-Flows, die Körper und Geist aktivieren, das Herz öffnen und dich mit deinem Atem verbinden. Abends begleiten dich sanfte, erdende Sequenzen – Restorative und Yoga Nidra – zurück in Ruhe und Balance. Musik und bewusste Stille schaffen dabei Momente tiefer Verbindung. Kirtan und gemeinsames Mantrasingen lassen dich die Kraft der Gemeinschaft spüren – eine Erinnerung daran, dass Liebe und Akzeptanz in jedem von uns wohnen. Wer seine Praxis vertiefen möchte, kann am Nachmittag individuelle 1:1 Asana Labs mit Nils nutzen, um persönliche Fragen, Ausrichtung oder Herausforderungen auf der Matte zu erforschen.

Für viele von uns war es nicht immer selbstverständlich, sich weich, offen oder verletzlich zu zeigen. Wir haben gelernt, stark zu sein, uns zu beweisen, dazuzugehören. Doch wahre Stärke liegt nicht in Kontrolle – sie liegt im Mut, loszulassen und sich zu zeigen, so wie man wirklich ist. Hier geht es nicht darum, etwas zu leisten, sondern darum, dich zu spüren.

Dieses Retreat lädt dich ein, Mauern zu lösen, dich mit Sanftheit zu sehen und anzunehmen – jenseits von Rollen, Erwartungen oder alten Geschichten. Ein Weg, der dich zurückführt zu innerem Frieden – und zu echter Verbindung mit anderen.

Nils Schäfer

Das Gefühl von Balance und Gleichgewicht in unserer Verbindung zur Welt und all ihren BewohnernInnen steht für Nils als Yoga-Lehrer, als auch in seiner eigenen Yogapraxis, im Mittelpunkt. Seit 2021 lehrt er Jivamukti 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 Yoga (300Std.) und Yoga Nidra (50Std.) Lehrer. Er unterrichtet u.a. im Jivamukti Yoga Roots Hamburg.

The Heart Connection

The Heart Connection

All Level ✺ 27 August- 2 September 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

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.

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
Advanced Certified Jivamukti Teacher (+800h)
Sandra 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.

Move & Play

All Level ✺ 24- 30 September 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

When was the last time you surprised yourself? When there was an “Oh, wow, moment“, a feeling of joy and ease? These moments stay, we remember them easily like our first moment riding a bike freely. In this week of Movement and Play, we’ll explore our physical possibilities practicing with curiosity and ease, leaning into joyful calm and meditation. Moments we remember when thinking back are moments of good laughter — of joy and ease.

Blending yoga, movement flow, and acrobatics, the retreat offers a playground to develop body and mind as one integrated whole.
We’ll start every day with a preparatory and refreshing yoga-inspired movement practice, followed by a guided meditation. After nourishing food and a good rest, we will have a handstand or movement workshop. The main intention is to shake, stretch, strengthen, and overall nourish the body through movement, and then wind down into the more relaxing field of Yin and meditation.

Through physical games, acrobatic tasks, and movement flow, we establish a present and curious self that can practice letting go of unnecessary tensions — mentally and physically — and eventually make space for honest self-observation.

It’s truly for all levels. The term “acrobatic” doesn’t mean you need any prior knowledge. In the acrobatic section, we will challenge our beliefs around what we can or cannot do. We will test, try, fail, and for sure laugh together.

Katharina
As a child, it was climbing trees, running barefoot, and creating entire universes in my mind. As a teenager, it was volleyball, table tennis, and athletics. As an adult, it is the essence of both: my motivation in my own movement and yoga practice, as well as in my work with people, is curiosity about movement, the body, and the internal world – being creative, and expressing yourself physically.
I’ve been teaching yoga, handstands, Movement Play, and movement acrobatics in Berlin and hosting retreats for years now. I truly care about each student and my community, about individual exploration and practice. I really believe that connection and care for one another can make this world a little better. To develop a healthy environment and loving relationships with other people and the world, we need to start with ourselves first. Through movement, this relationship with ourselves gets tested and can deepen: Can I stay at ease when something challenges me in my asana or movement practice? How do I approach movement tasks? And what do I tell myself when something goes wrong? How can I stay joyful and at ease?
I want to offer non-judgmental playgrounds for adults to test, fail, and try again – to answer the questions above both physically and mentally.

English All Level Dynamic Jivamukti Casa Erica, Spain June Spain Katharina Seeger

Inner Voice

Inner Voice

All Level ✺ 4- 10 June 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

The Inner Voice is an invitation to sense rather than think. To move with awareness. To meet yourself beyond the stories and connect to your intuition.

Most of us are so busy and distracted that we’ve become disconnected from our inner voice – our gut feeling. During this retreat we will rediscover the whisper beneath the thoughts and connect to the subtle intelligence within.

As we journey inward through the practices of yoga and breathwork, we open the space where intuition, clarity and creativity flow naturally — guided not by doing, but by being.

We’ll start the mornings in silence, moving into meditation, pranayama and a Jivamukti asana practice. Classes will be fuelled by carefully curated playlists, chanting and reflection to energize and strengthen. Our afternoon practice will focus on breathing, moving, softening. We will explore breathwork and movement techniques, allowing us to experience and understand both our bodies as well as our inner landscape in new ways.

Katharina Seeger

Katharina is curious, creative and always interested in building connection. In her classes, you can expect dynamic asana, carefully curated music, along with mantra, breathing exercises, and hands-on assists. Throughout, there is a focus on connecting to the breath, exploring alignment, and diving into meditation techniques. Her classes blend challenging asana practice with spirituality, helping people reconnect with their essence. Katharina discovered Jivamukti Yoga in 2011, has been studying the method ever since and teaching for more than ten years. She completed her INTESOMA breathwork certification in 2023 and lives in Cologne with her son and husband.
