A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Eternal Flame

Intermediate ✺ 22- 28 October 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Unsere Yoga & Culinary Retreats sind genau das Richtige für alle, die Lust auf pflanzenbasierte Küche haben – zum Ausprobieren, Dazulernen oder einfach, um sich inspirieren zu lassen.

In diesem Retreat widmen wir uns der Energie von Anahata Chakra, dem Zentrum unseres Miktgefühls, zwischenmenschlicher Verbindung und innerer Weite.
Eternal Flame steht für die Idee des unvergänglichen Lichtes in dir – unabhängig von äußeren Umständen.

Ein Feuer, das nährt, wärmt und erinnert.

Im Herzen der andalusischen Natur, da wo es im Außen still wird und wir beginnen unsere innere Stimme flüstern zu hören, lade ich dich ein, dich mit deiner inneren Flamme zu verbinden: deinem offenen Herzen, deinem Mut zur Verletzlichkeit, deiner tiefen Verbindung zur Liebe.

Am Morgen fließen wir durch holistische und dynamische Jivamukti Klassen, stärken die Rückseite unseres Herzens um uns vertrauensvoll in die Öffnung der Vorderseite hineinlehnen zu können.
Pranayama, Journaling, Mantra Chanting und verschiedene Meditationstechniken unterstützen dich in Kontakt mit deiner Herzenergie zu kommen.

Am Nachmittag widmen wir uns im Satsang verschiedenen Ansätzen aus der Yogaphilosophie, praktizieren restorativ Asana und kühlendes Pranayama. Beim gemeinsamen Singen und Bhakti Praktiken verbinden wir uns mit uns selbst und anderen.

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Rooted in Presence

All Level ✺ 16- 22 April 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Our signature Yoga & Culinary Retreats are perfect for those interested in plant- based cuisine eager to learn more or simply get inspired.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, renewal, or a deeper sense of presence, this retreat offers tools to carry your practice off the mat and into your everyday life.

We’ll begin each morning in silence – with breath and meditation – to gently arrive in the day. Then we move into an extended Jivamukti class, where breath, movement, music, and intention meet in a space of exploration and stillness.

Afternoons are yours: rest, journal, walk, connect—or simply do nothing. Later in the day, we’ll come together again for an Asana Lab: a space to refine alignment, ask questions, and deepen your embodied understanding of the practice.

Throughout the retreat, we’ll stay open to something deeper than theory. Because real, lasting progress doesn’t come from concepts—it comes from returning to the mat, again and again. Not to perfect the poses, but to cultivate presence. To meet life and ourselves with clarity, grace, and a steady heart.

Rooted in Presence is about what happens when we stop chasing something outside of ourselves and begin paying attention.

What does it mean to really be here? And how can we return to our daily lives carrying the presence we’ve cultivated, so that practice becomes not just something we do, but the way we live?

Just come as you are and let the practice do its work.

Lamina Vedder

Lamina was born in the United States, with roots in Germany, Thailand, and Hong Kong, and spent most of her upbringing between Thailand and Germany. She first encountered yoga in 2010, during a time of personal hardship, and was deeply touched by its transformative power.

Teaching since 2020, Lamina shares Ashtanga and Jivamukti Yoga with gratitude for the many teachers and trainings that have guided her along the way. The heart of her practice and teaching, however, has been most profoundly shaped by the 300-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training in India with her mentor Juan Sierra.

With a dedicated personal practice rooted in Ashtanga and Jivamukti Yoga, Lamina’s classes combine strength and mindfulness, guided by well-curated playlists and supported through thoughtful hands-on assists. Her teaching style is intentional and compassionate, encouraging students to connect more deeply with their own practice—both on and beyond the mat.

Her classes are currently offered at the Jivamukti Yoga Center in Cologne, YTTP, and A Place Like Om.

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.
