Culinary Yoga Retreat

Essential Self - A Yoga & Culinary Retreat.

All Level ✺ 17- 23 August 2023 ✺ 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.

We invite you to step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in the ancient practices of yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Our aim is to guide you in rediscovering your fundamental being by stripping away the unnecessary layers that have accumulated over time.

During our retreat, we will encourage you to go within and explore the infinite realm of potentiality that exists within each of us. Through the practice of quieting the mind and simplifying our lives, we will connect with the power of the breath as the basis of our practice. We believe that the breath is the doorway to the mind and the key to unlocking our full potential.

Together, we will journey breath by breath, shedding the dense layers of old beliefs, conditionings, patterns, and fears. Our aim is to reveal the lightness of the self that exists beyond these limiting factors. We will guide you to connect with your essential self, the part of you that remains constant and unchanged through all of life’s experiences.

Zarah Boden Yoga Teacher

Zarah Boden

Always fascinated at the grace and intelligence of the human body and guided by Spirit, Zarah has explored movement through yoga and dance for over 20 years.  Coming from a background in ballet and jazz dance, she completed her first Yoga TTC in London,  going on to travel and further her learning in India with intensive studies of Astanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama and Indian Philosophy and various forms of bodywork and energy healing. She has also studied and practices Integrative Breathwork which incorporates breath awareness and conscious breathing for healing, growth, personal awakening and transformation.

Zarah greatest source of inspiration is the breath which you feel as she carefully weaves it into each of her classes.  The breath as a companion to unearth the depths of our being, a way to strip back the layers into our most authentic version and a path to cultivating balance of body and mind, to shine light on the infinite potential within.

Culinary Yoga Retreat

A Yoga & Culinary Retreat //
Abundant heart

All Level ✺ 26 Oct- 1 Nov ✺ 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.

Life can be hectic, keeping us on a hamster wheel of thoughts and worries. On this retreat, you’re invited to break free from this state of being by opening and listening to the wisdom of your heart – out of your head, into your heart.

Each day, we’ll flow through our yoga practice, carried by inspiring musical vibrations, and sing mantras that fill us with joy. We’ll use the breath to soothe our nerves and take deep rest with Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra, creating the stillness we need to see ourselves as we really are. And we’ll use the stories and myths behind the asanas as a playful way of understanding life’s universal themes – and looking at our own situations with a fresh perspective.

This shared journey will remind you that you are part of a bigger whole and connect you to the abundant joy that comes with this experience. You’ll learn to let sadness and pain flow through you, gently widening your compassion towards yourself and others. Above all, you will discover that freedom from worry doesn’t come from controlling your outer world, but from trusting yourself in this very moment. 

Simone & Adi love to share their passion for cooking and great ingredients with you. That’s why they will show you their favorite kitchen hacks and surprise you with their Ayurvedic wisdom. Eat good and good will come to you. Are you ready to get inspired?

Whether you have been practicing yoga (and cooking) for many years or you are new to it; you are welcome!

Simone & Adi – Karma Food

Our philosophy: Eat well, feel well

Simone loves to travel and dine, literally bringing people together with good food and natural wine. She enjoys having fun in the kitchen and strolling through local farmer’s markets. She loves to develop new recipes, to ferment, to throw huge dinner parties for family and friends but also likes to take some slow moments in between: a nice cup of Karma coffee in the morning (her very own blend, which she developed and roasted together with her friends from Jonas Reindl Coffee Roasters) or a long stroll through the woods with her dog Charlie.

Adi’s motto is: Everybody can cook. And he is the best proof with his own journey: from a self-taught cook to a trained Ayurvedic chef. Adi grew up in India (he will tell you lots of stories about it), where literally at all times of the day a curry or dal was simmering on the stove. He loves to share his family recipes with the world and passes on his random facts/ life advice.

Slow Down

Slow down

All Level ✺ 19- 25 Oct ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Amid the fast pace of our everyday lives, we hear a call for deep rest. Just as night follows day and summer fades into fall, our bodies are called into retreat to recover from the depth of life and to bring balance to the rush of experience.

On this retreat, you will ease into a pace of rest and relaxation with gentle flows, easeful days, and a general pace of life that matches exactly what the body needs to escape the cycle of day-to-day stressors. As your nervous system calms, you’ll feel a boost in your immune system and leave feeling a soft glow from within.

Our morning sessions will start with meditation and pranayama to focus our minds. We will take that focus into a gentle flow, followed by yin and restorative poses. In these sessions, there will be little or no vinyasas (moving from high plank to low plank to upward-facing dog), making this retreat very suitable for those with wrist, elbow, or shoulder injuries.

The afternoon sessions will include restorative yoga, yoga nidra (guided meditation while laying down), mantra singing, and conversations about the practical application of yoga philosophy for daily life circumstances.

Awakening Experience

An Awakening Experience- A Journey of Exploration

Intermediate ✺ 12-18 October 2023 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Join CJ & Shelby in an Awakening Yoga Retreat Experience where we will dive into the depths of curiosity and self-discovery in your yoga practice. Awakening Yoga offers a unique perspective to the modern yoga system. It is designed to respect the traditions of yoga with a functional approach to yoga asana, unlocking the keys to your fullest potential.

Awakening Yoga is composed of four foundational pillars: vinyasa, mobility, strength, and restore. The collaboration of these unique facets provides accessibility & diversity for all practitioners to explore the unlimited opportunities to suit the practice to fit what you need in the moment. Mentally and physically, this practice deconstructs outdated ideas and creates new perspectives for yourself through the lens of breath and movement, mediation and expression.

Each morning, we will practice “The Set” from the Awakening Yoga system. This vinyasa practice is a set sequence, allowing you familiarity and ritual each morning. Starting your day fresh, this sequence is centered around energetic principles and anatomical areas of focus to create a well-rounded experience.

Evening classes will expand upon the pillars of the Awakening Yoga style to study new elements of exploration behind the asana practice. Each day will focus on a specific asana aspect to further enhance the reasoning behind the Awakening Yoga structure. In these classes we will understand how movement and breath pertains to our own unique individual experience.

 

Carleton James Yeagley

CJ gravitates towards connection. Connection with movement, to people, to his emotions of mind, body & spirit. He found yoga after playing sports growing up and throughout college. Wanting to learn more about the asana side of the practice, CJ found Patrick Beach, Carling Harps, & Awakening Yoga Academy. He’s been learning and training with them for the past seven years and has been a full-time yoga teacher for the past nine years. CJ has a Masters in Exercise Science and has taught 1000+ hours of public classes, not including workshops, retreats, and private sessions. He has filmed 100+ classes on Patrick & Carling’s yoga platform, Commune Online, consisting of strong vinyasa and ease-filled practices. CJ’s classes are a wonderful balance of structure & freedom. Meeting you in your moment of effort & ease. He hopes to leave you with good vibes and positive energy.

Shelby Heintzelman

Shelby strives to help people gain awareness in their bodies, encouraging attention to the breath to move them into a mind-body connection.

She since has continued to train under Patrick Beach and Carling Harps, where she went on to complete her 300hr advanced training with Awakening Yoga Academy. She also has filmed 100+ classes on Patrick & Carling’s yoga platform, Commune Online, consisting of strong vinyasa and ease-filled practices.

Her sincere goal is for people to learn how to show up for themselves, practice compassion, self love, and use their yoga practice as a time for them to turn inward and release the stresses of life. Shelby’s hope is that people leave her classes feeling inspired, challenged, fresh, and with a sense of clarity that translates into their everyday lives.

Balanced Duality

Balanced Duality

All Levels ✺ 5-11 October 2023 ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Dive into a week of connection with CJ and Shelby as they bring about their own masculine and feminine energies as individuals and teachers, sharing their experiences through asana, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing for a holistic approach to a balanced life. We’ll employ a variety of duality dynamics, throughout our journey together to encapsulate well rounded days with moments of deep connection and appreciation for life.

Each morning will include either a guided meditation or a silent hike to set positive intentions for our day. The early asana will bring about fiery masculine energy as we move through strong, powerful but playful vinyasa style flows that will be heavily integrated with breathwork, and self-inquiry to bring that confident solar energy into the day.

Each evening we will slow things down as we tap into our softer side, harnessing our feminine energies utilizing mellow and yin style practices to bring restoration to our nervous systems. There will be moments of dedicated quiet time, breath and reflection allowing you to fully surrender to the present moment.

Through your own cultivated experience and intuition, you will harness your own inner strength and awareness, bringing about confidence in all that you do, enabling you to trust your higher-self in all aspects of your life. As we walk through the week together we will work to let go of all that does not serve our best self and seek a deeper connection within to align mind, body, and spirit.

A Journey Within

A Journey Within

Mittelstufe ✺ in German ✺ 28 Sep - 4 Okt ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Komm mit uns auf eine intuitive Reise auf der wir den Kontakt zu unserer inneren Stimme stärken und lernen dem Körper zuzuhören. Wir wollen den Blick umdrehen – anstatt im Außen zu sehen, versuchen wir im Innen zu fühlen – um uns dadurch eine ganz neue Welt und Möglichkeiten zu eröffnen.

Wir starten den Tag mit einer dynamischen Asana Praxis, die dich auf allen Ebenen – körperlich, mental und emotional – auf den Tag einstimmt. Die Klassen führen durch intuitive Bewegungsmuster zurück vom Kopf ins Herz und sollen dazu inspirieren deinen Körper auf eine ganz neue Art und Weise kennenzulernen.

Die Abendstunden werden bestimmt durch langsam, fließende oder gehaltene Asanas, sanftem Pranayama und einer geführten Meditation um zurück in den Raum unserer Intuition zu treten und das Erlebte in Ruhe zu reflektieren und abzuschließen.

Level: Mittelstufe

Du solltest eine regelmäßige Asana Praxis haben und Lust auf dynamische, fordernde Klassen.

 

Elke Waibel

Seit über 10 Jahren teile ich als dipl. Tänzerin und Yogalehrerin meine Leidenschaft für Bewegung.
In meinen Yogaeinheiten möchte ich die Menschen dazu inspirieren ihren Körper nicht nur als ein Werkzeug zu betrachten, das einen Zweck zu erfüllen hat, sondern viel mehr als komplexes Gebilde, das eine uns unvorstellbare Tiefe hat, uns einen Platz in dieser Welt gibt und uns hilft mit anderen in Kontakt zu treten. In meinen Klassen bilden sanfte Pranayama Übungen und starke Vinyasa Flows einen sicheren Rahmen, den wir immer wieder spielerisch durch intuitive Bewegungen durchbrechen werden sodass wir die Balance zwischen analytischem Denken und intutiven Fühlen entwickeln.

Root & Revive

Root & Revive

Mittelstufe ✺ in German ✺ 10-16 Aug ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

Es ist Zeit wieder satt in dir anzukommen.
Der Seele ein zu Hause in deiner Atmung geben.
Der Atmung ein zu Hause in deinem Körper ermöglichen.

Durch eine intensive Asana Praxis im Vinyasa Flow Stil am Morgen holen wir die Gedanken zurück in deinen Tempel, in deinen Körper und schaffen eine feste, friedliche Verbindung zu dir selbst.

Gut zugängliche, geführte Meditationseinheiten am Morgen und Nachmittags helfen dir aus deinem Alltag herauszutreten, damit sich Ruhe integrieren kann.

Dieses Retreat unterstützt dich dabei deinen eigenen Weg in dieser Welt zu ebnen, mehr Urvertrauen in dir aufzubauen und eigene Ressourcen zu beleben.

Abgerundet wird unsere Root & Revive Woche von fordernden Asana Workshops, gemeinsames Chanten, gepaart mit tiefgreifenden Visualisierungs-Reisen. Dabei bist du umgeben von einer magischen Location und einer liebevollen Gruppe an Gleichgesinnten.

Mittelstufe: Du solltest eine regelmäßige Asana Praxis haben und Lust auf dynamische, fordernde Klassen.

The Culinary Experience

The Culinary Experience

27 July - 2nd August ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

with Sasha Noelle, Caro Gante & Vera Bettiol 

Join The Culinary Experience. Only one date this year!

This new retreat concept focuses on more elaborate menus as our two resident chefs, Caro and Sasha, join forces in the kitchen. Twice as many chefs means twice as much creative energy flowing in the kitchen! Each meal will be carefully crafted and expertly executed with a symphony of flavours. Additionally each chef will also offer one workshop/ presentation.

This retreat is perfect for everyone who loves to get spoiled and inspired! You’ll have the chance to explore incredible plant-based meals from all corners of the earth while learning some tricks of our excellent retreat chefs.

Soulful meals & a heartfelt yoga practice. 
A retreat to give yourself
a time of calm, connection, care and love.

Meet our chefs

Sasha Friess

Sasha Noelle
Plant-based chef & consultant

Sasha has been cooking for YSC Retreats in 2019 and surely this collaboration would have go on if there wasn’t the pandemic. We are very happy that she returns for summer 2023!

“It is my passion to host and nurture guests. I love when others can experience food to be both beautiful, nourishing, and nutrient dense without ever jeopardizing quality or flavor. As a mindful chef, I always work to instill all food with intention, love and care. Each dish is a form of art and magic.”

Sasha’s Workshop
Sasha will introduce you to the Art of Cacao. You will learn how to prepare a simple yet decadent cacao truffle, easy cacao bark and a savoury, raw cacao mole. All recipes are free of dairy and refined sugars.

More about Sasha

Caro Gante
Retreat chef & integrative nutrition health coach

We met Caro in 2021 and it was a match! In 2022 Caro cooked for many Retreatees a creative, detailed, diverse and always very beautifully presented menu. It is both: healthy & delicious.

Caro is passionate about food since her childhood and it is just a pleasure and so inspiring experiencing her following that passion. Her ideas about creative plant-based dishes are endless & very intuitive. Her love for nature and ingredients gets delivered through her plates.

Caro’s Workshop
Caro will introduce you to the world of fermentation.
You’ll learn about traditional fermentations such as sauerkraut as well as more modern recipes like cultured cashew cream cheese. While exploring the science of this bacteria-based process, Caro will provide you with the necessary tips and tools to make fermentation suitable for your home kitchen.

About the Yoga

When was the last time you chose you? This retreat is designed as a reset and is dedicated to give space to YOU so you come back home to yourself when life pulls you away, so you can choose yourself, emerging as your true self, full of self-love and acceptance.

During the full moon we will have a chance to observe and connect to the shifting energies. Lunar energy by nature is cooling, restorative, nourishing, nurturing and intuitive and invite us to slow down, go within and connect to the divine feminine energy within us. We’ll dive into the magic that resides within in our body, exploring inwards towards feeling, awareness, self-healing and peace. We combine this with an outward experience of learning and sharing with other beings, in a beautiful place, far away from our day to day.

Move your body daily with deep embodiment vinyasa yoga practices, guided breathing practices and meditation to connect to your inner world, and yin or restorative yoga to observe the shifts in energy within and music to match the rhythm of life that you seek. You will set sacred intentions, practice affirmations and gratitude, let yourself to feel your feelings and allow what is.

All this deep work will balance with free time for contemplation, entertainment for the senses with nourishing food, walks in nature, sunbathing at beach or at the pool.
