English October Gentle Fleur van Hille All Level Vinyasa Flow Olea, Italy Yin Restorative Nidra

Ease into Autumn

Ease into Autumn

All Level ✺ 4- 10 October 2026 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

A week of yoga, connection and inner steadiness in motion

Life is always moving; through seasons, through shifts in our minds and bodies, through the different roles and rhythms we find ourselves in. Practicing yoga in flow is a powerful way to reflect and embody how we move through life itself: adjusting, responding, staying open, and finding steadiness within change.

This retreat is an invitation to explore what it means to flow, both on the mat and in your daily life. Through dynamic vinyasa yoga sessions, partner practices, mantra singing, and calmer afternoon sessions, we’ll explore the different layers of flow: physical, emotional, and energetic.

Rather than resisting change or holding tension, we learn to meet each moment with presence and flexibility. We’ll use yoga as a practical tool to reconnect to the part of us that remains steady, even when life feels fast, full or uncertain.

There will be space for reflection and sharing, to move forward in life with more ease, trust, and a sense of freedom.

This retreat is for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and rediscover the natural rhythm between effort and ease — between structure and flow.

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.

Space to breathe

Space to breathe

All Level ✺ 19- 25 April 2026 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

Our capacity to breathe is our capacity to feel.  It is our capacity to live in this world and be sensitive.  Our breath is our most primal connection to life.  It is through our breath that spirit moves through us. 

Join Imogen for a week of diving deep into your respiratory system, exploring each day a different part of your body’s breathing apparatus that will increase your lung capacity.   As we open up these different breath doorways in the body you will, in turn, open the pathways in the body to receive consciousness.  You will begin to understand that what you take in on your breath becomes your tissues.  You will use your breath to create spaces in your energy channels.  These energy channels acting like transformation highways as the breath gives life to a bright, free, awakened you.  

Each morning will include a deep transformational vinyasa practice interwoven with meditations, self-enquiry, myofascial release and different pranayama (breath techniques).  Each evening you can join a lunar practice which will be either yin or restorative (or a combination of the two).  There will also be plenty of down-time to pause, to rest or to enjoy the sights and sounds of the local area.

Imogen North

Imogen hails from London, England and is now based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.  She trained initially under the expert eye of Katy Appleton and primarily teaches Yin and dynamic Vinyasa flow descended from the Krishnamacharya lineage.  

Imogen enhanced her teaching becoming one of Judith Hanson Lasater’s Relax and Renew® certified restorative yoga teachers and continues to train with her teacher Tiffany Cruikshank towards her Yoga Medicine® Therapeutic Specialist certification. 

Imogen is passionate about helping people make changes in their lives. Her teaching fuses anatomy, physiology and biomechanics with traditional Eastern yogic practices; tantra, ritual, and a deep reverence for nature.  

Imogen’s teaching honours the lineages of all of her teachers and through her teaching she hopes to inspire possibility and encourage self-awareness, awakening your authentic creativity as a yoga practitioner in the modern world. Imogen fiercely believes that yoga is for everyone, that it is a vital tradition that transcends all race and religion, fundamental in all of our lives more so now than ever before.

German Intermediate Vinyasa Flow Dynamic Casa Erica, Spain May June Spain Miriam Hunyadi

Surrender to Rise

Surrender to Rise

Intermediate ✺ 28. Mai- 3. Juni 2026 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Manchmal verläuft unser Lebensweg nicht nur in Schritten „nach vorn“, sondern auch im Zurückblicken und Innehalten. Surrender to Rise lädt dich ein, für eine Woche ganz loszulassen – alte Muster, Erwartungen und das ständige Müssen – um in der Tiefe deines Seins Ruhe, Vertrauen und neue Kraft zu finden. Es geht um das Zulassen, das Dich-Hineinfallen in das, was ist.

Durch kraftvolle Vinyasa-Flow-Klassen mit vielen Hands-on-Assists, Meditation, Atem, Stille und Naturerfahrungen entsteht Raum, um wirklich anzukommen. Surrender bedeutet für mich vor allem Hingabe an dich selbst – darin möchte ich dich bestärken und dich während des Retreats begleiten. Es ist der Mut, auch das Unbequeme zu fühlen und das Ungewisse zuzulassen, um dahinter etwas Wahrhaftiges zu entdecken.

In diesem Prozess lernst du, dich selbst zu halten – statt dich festzuhalten. Surrender to Rise ist eine Reise zu deiner inneren Quelle, damit du deine Kräfte bündeln und vielleicht über dich selbst hinauswachsen kannst.

Am Nachmittag widmen wir uns in Asana-Workshops einzelnen Haltungen ganz bewusst. Mindestens einmal lassen wir in einer restorativen Praxis los oder chanten gemeinsam Mantren.

Miriam Hunyadi

Miriam praktiziert Yoga seit 2008 und hat ihre Reise über Hot Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa Flow bis hin zu Ashtanga Vinyasa gemacht. Besonders begeistert sie die innere Ruhe und Kraft, die eine regelmäßige Praxis mit sich bringt. Sie hat Ausbildungen im Vinyasa Flow und im traditionellen Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga abgeschlossen, einschließlich Mudras, Bandhas und Pranayama-Techniken. Ihre Erfahrung und die tiefen Einsichten, die sie auf diesem Weg gewonnen hat, fließen in ihren Unterricht ein, um den Schüler:innen nicht nur körperliche, sondern auch geistige und spirituelle Impulse zu geben. Miriam unterrichtet in verschiedenen Studios in Wien und Umgebung und verbindet ihre Liebe zur Natur mit der Freude am Reisen – besonders an ungewöhnliche Orte. Auch ihre Ukulele begleitet sie oft, denn sie liebt es, mit Musik und Begegnungen neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen. Ihr Motto lautet: „Life is your teacher, and yoga is soul education.“

Forest’s Realm

Forest's Realm

All Level ✺ 20- 27 August 2026 ✺ Šiaurys, Lithuania

Surrounded by the embrace of a peaceful forest, with its towering trees that have stood the test of time, you’ll feel the calming energy of nature settling within you. Memories and emotions can finally find a place to rest, creating space for new ideas and inner peace to emerge.

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 or meditation. Then, drawing on the energy of the rising sun you will be lead through a vinyasa flow that is both gentle and energising.

In the afternoons, you’ll have plenty of time to relax deeply with restorative yoga or yoga nidra (yogic sleep). Mantras will help calm the mind and connect you to your inner wisdom, while we explore yoga philosophy to offer practical insights for navigating life’s challenges. 

Join us for this retreat and equip yourself with the tools to peacefully digest life’s ups and downs, ready to face both the everyday and the bigger events with calm and clarity.

Please note that a child will be present during the retreat. If this is not suitable for you, we sincerely apologise and hope you find another retreat you would like to join.

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.

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.

Intermediate Awakening October English Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Olea, Italy Yin Restorative Léa Hatahet

Seeds of Change

Seeds of Change - fully booked

Intermediate ✺ 5-11 October 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

Plant and nurture seeds of change as we come together to share practice just after the seasons change.

Embracing this idea we will use the tools and techniques from our yoga practice to find presence and awareness, thinking about how this not only relates to moments on the mat, but the wider world and our lifestyles. This retreat is designed as a sanctuary for resetting and fostering deep connection – through movement, self-exploration, and community. Unplug to recharge, build lasting bonds with like-minded individuals, and gather renewed energy for the season ahead.

We will find balance in our physical bodies through a thoughtful mix of Vinyasa, Yin and self care practices and offer fresh perspectives.

There will be opportunities to go deeper in workshops, building confidence and offering many new ideas to take home with you.

In the morning we flow and as a practitioner, you are free to find opportunity and potential in the practice. Evening practice embraces a change of pace, prompting us to slow down and care for our bodies in a different way integrating restorative, yin and Myofascial release.

Paul McConnell

Paul teaches Awakening Yoga which is a progressive yoga system with an emphasis on ritual and self inquiry.

He discovered yoga initially whilst working as a nurse, being quite physically active but not proactively looking after his body. From there he discovered everything else that the practice has to offer. As a teacher he has continued to develop his understanding through Advanced teacher training, breath work with The Oxygen Advantage, mobility approaches with FRC and training with his own coaches and teachers.

Everyone is welcome to classes designed to offer a complete practice encouraging personal exploration, potentiality, and freedom of movement.

Mind and body are connected and Paul believes that a consistent, physical practice can positively impact other areas of your life and wellbeing.

More about Paul

Léa Hatahet

Léa is from France – she lived in Japan and Dubai during her studies and then moved to Brussels, where she has been teaching yoga for the last 4 years. A lifelong lover of movement, she discovered yoga in 2015 after years of practicing track and field and several injuries.

In recognising that we are all unique, Léa seeks to support her students by meeting them where they are. She encourages exploring movements and options to suit individual bodies and experiences. Over the last 2 years, Léa has completed her 300-hour Awakening Yoga training with Patrick Beach and Carling Harps. Teaching both vinyasa and yin with an insight into intelligent sequencing and mobility, she will help you to make your way to more advanced poses, find a free and open practice or equally slow down through a safe, supportive, and step-by-step approach.

When not teaching, Léa loves hiking, taking pictures, visiting neighbourhood coffee shops and exploring movement in various forms.

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.

All Level ✺ 12- 18 October 2025 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

We will meet as the height of summer fades into cooler days. Autumn is a time of harvest, of gratitude, of taking stock, and of celebration. It is also a time of searching within, of reflection, and of remembering.

As the days become shorter, we will learn how to embrace the magic of this transitory season—a time when what is old and no longer serving us falls away, leaving only what is most essential. We will tap into our intuition through embodied movements and explore tools and resources that highlight what is most essential within us, reading both body and mind for the release this season calls for. Together, we’ll explore themes of letting go, gratitude, remembering, and change. We’ll dive deep into our intuition to find what is required of us to move into the quiet and reemerge in a state of rebirth as a more flowing and easeful expression of our deepest selves.

We’ll begin our days with reflective meditations and embodied vinyasa practices that will challenge our bodies to open, recall, and simplify. In the afternoons, we’ll turn inward to softer practices that remind us of the power of deep rest and gentle reflection. Our evenings will include options for yoga nidra and restorative yoga. Come as you are, radiant from the summer heat or weary and ready to release. A wellspring of warmth, comfort, and reflection is waiting for you.

Lauren Simonis

Hello beautiful humans, I’m Lauren, and I’ve been a yoga teacher for six years, a facilitator for twenty, and a lover of intimate, shared experiences my entire life. I believe in the magic of people coming together to share their lives in a way that leaves them somehow more fully themselves. Yoga offers an opportunity to do just that.
As a yoga teacher, I am often described as joyful and playful. My classes are filled with light-hearted invitations to explore new movements, 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.
I moved to Portugal from the U.S. in 2016, and that’s where my passion for yoga grew 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, and myofascial release when I realized how much joy my students brought me. Over the last five years, I have become increasingly engaged with embodiment and somatic approaches to yoga. With these experiences, I found myself immersed more and more in yogic spaces, and in them, I found opportunities to nurture my students through healing, love, and support.

Magnetic Autumn

Magnetic Autumn

All Level ✺ 19- 25 October 2025, ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

This Retreat is a unique experience to slow down, to rest, to reconnect with nature & to reconnect to yourself.

As we will be surrounded by nature, fresh air and the sound of the wind rustling the leaves, we will bring creative ways to weave yoga and self care into our everyday lives – calm, gentle, harmonious and nurturing as the healing of autumn season is. This week blends the symbolic power of the new moon with its energy of new beginnings and the start of a new season ~ Scorpio season ~ with its receptive, intuitive, and magnetic energy, with themes of creativity, emotional depth and deep introspection.

Picture starting your day with energizing and mindful vinyasa flow attuned to lunar rhythms, gentle breathwork, guided meditation and connecting in heartfelt community and then finishing your day with nourishing practices that can includes yoga nidra, restorative yoga and yin yoga where we will reach a place of quiet and calm.

As the crisp autumn air ushers in the season of change you’ll immerse in meaningful practices and personal reflection that help release old energies and cultivate fresh intentions. We will experience the healing powers of yoga on different levels to nourish body, mind and soul by grounding into the rhythms of Autumn.

When  we combined yoga with the season and the lunar wisdom, the result is a potent synergy of stillness, self-discovery, and shared empowerment where we unlock an incredibly powerful tool to realign with ourselves and everything that surrounds us and we create shared moments that connect us as human beings. Simply come and be.

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat

A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Last days of Summer - fully booked

All Level ✺ 23- 29 Oktober 2025 ✺ 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.

Set in the warm, late-October sun of southern Spain, this retreat offers a chance to extend the feeling of summer just a little longer. While the crisp air of autumn is settling in across northern Europe, here the climate remains mild, giving you the perfect environment to recharge and relax. The peaceful surroundings—just steps from the beach—will help you reconnect with a sense of calm and lightness.

Each morning, we start the day with a grounding practice, combining breathing and guided meditation to center ourselves. From there, we move into a gentle vinyasa flow, designed to energize you while taking advantage of the warmth of the season.

In the afternoons, there’s time for relaxation with restorative yoga or yoga nidra (yogic sleep). With the ocean nearby, the natural rhythm of the surroundings enhances your sense of calm and relaxation. We’ll also explore aspects of yoga philosophy to offer practical insights, while mantras will deepen your connection to yourself. Mythology will be used as a light and fun way to reflect on universal themes and personal growth.

Join us to peacefully digest what came before, and ease into the changing season with clarity, relaxation, and a renewed sense of balance. This retreat is the perfect way to reset and enjoy the last days of summer before the winter months begin.

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.
