The Medicine of Awareness

The Medicine of Awareness

All Level ✺ 8- 14 June ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

This retreat is a mission of grace. Trapped in a masculine led society we can, quite easily, get overwhelmed by action and results, pushed forward into ‘doing’ as opposed to just ‘being’, we might feel stripped of our connection of what it feels like to be feminine. But seek and you shall find.  

This week with Imogen will be an opportunity to slow down, practice more introspective, tender practices so you can instinctively seek out what is authentic to the feminine you. We will call on the supernatural feminine to guide and teach us the path of inner awakening – restoring our vital energies so we can move forward from this week with wisdom.  

Through your senses and your intuition you will harness your power, embodying all that you feel, enabling you to trust in a greater guiding wisdom in all aspects of your life. As we work through the week we will shine light on self-limiting belief, habit, patterns, judgment. You can use this awareness as your medicine to begin to lift the veil leaving the week focused, clear and bright.  

Each morning will include a slow embodied vinyasa practice heavily interwoven with meditations, self-enquiry, yin and goddess ritual. Each evening you can join a lunar practice which will be either yin or restorative in nature (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.

Joyful Heart

Joyful heart

All Level ✺ 29 June- 5 July ✺ Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain

We all are looking for happiness. Not the superficial kind, but the gentle, truthful kind, where you need nothing external to bring that joyful smile, that glow onto your face.

We get together in this wonderful space, created straight from the heart, to awaken our body, open our mind and fuel our soul. We practice presence and appreciation for what is, finding freedom from expectations, overthinking and worrying, and experiencing moments of pure joy, connection and gratitude.

Surrounded by mountains and sea we come together and celebrate life and community, with daily yoga classes, meditations, yogic breath work and different self-reflection practices. We will immerse in both dynamic flow yoga in the mornings (Vinyasa Yoga) and gentle yoga practices in the afternoons (Yin Yoga), exploring different sequences and poses from simple to advanced, diving deep into the practice. In guided meditations and mindfulness ceremonies we honor the present, reconnect with ourselves and find our true inner joy.

Culinary Yoga Retreat

Processed with VSCO with m5 preset

A Yoga & Culinary Retreat // Abundant Heart

All Level ✺ 1- 7 June 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.

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.

Fleur van Hille 

Fleur has been a student and teacher of yoga since 2009 when her career as a professional dancer transformed into a love for yoga’s physical postures, breathing exercises, mantras, and meditation. Since then, her training has spanned the globe and expanded to include advanced postures, philosophy, yoga nidra, and yoga therapeutics.

As a teacher, Fleur is creative and supportive. Her playlists offer a carefully crafted, steady beat that will carry you through flowing transitions and intentional holds. She offers options for all levels, so everyone feels held and at ease, and if there is one thing that characterizes her classes, workshops, and retreats, it is the feeling of being connected. She brings a warmth and joy to her classes that open the door for her students to experience both playfulness and stillness.

Fleur has been teaching yoga retreats with Yoga Spirit Circle since the very beginning. She has returned again and again because her retreats offer a truly profound experience of yoga. She will both guide you and inspire you to explore yoga as a way of living and an experience—one in which our hearts expand to include all of life as one spiritual whole.

Culinary Workshops:
Nourish and Connect

by Caro Gante

The process of cooking and eating food does not have to be a chore – it can be a celebration. With Caro, you will feel the collective energy of cooking as a community, sharing laughter, tips, and the recognition of the land as provider of everything. You’ll eat a variety of food, that not only feed your belly but nourish your soul. Disconnect from the utility of consuming and reconnect with the idea that food is more than just food – it is the core of community, of connection, of life.

In the afternoons, we’ll gather around the kitchen for three different vegan workshops:

  • Fermentation: learn the basics and the benefits of this ancient practice
  • Pasta: a hands-on adventure in preparing 3 different pastas and sauces
  • Galette: a sensory affair of both sweet and savory

In the evenings, the dinner table will become our social experience where we will feast on the soulful meals we created, sharing mouth-watering bites and the stories that bind our hearts to one another.

You’ll leave this retreat with a greater ease in the kitchen, technical skills and a recipe e-book, and a deeper connection to your own intuition so you can flow beyond the recipes to create meals that bring you both joy and sustenance.

About Caro Gante

Retreat chef and integrative nutrition health coach Caro will guide you with her creative approach through three workshops in which she’ll share her knowledge and passion for wholesome vegan food. Next to essential ideas of the plant-based cuisine Caro will introduce to you a variety of her favorite recipes which are designed for experienced cooks as well as curious-minded yogis that are new to the world of vegan cooking.

On this retreat, you’ll level up your cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while also getting a better understanding of holistic health and wellbeing.

Community days

Community days

Casa Erica, Málaga, Spain ✺ 1- 16 March 2026

The Community Days at Casa Erica are an invitation to slow down and experience everyday life in a warm and supportive community. You will stay in your own private room, and share the retreat kitchen with fellow travelers. Cooking and eating together quickly becomes one of the highlights of the experience — a chance to enjoy simple meals, exchange recipes, and gather around the table.

During your stay, you can join several yoga, pilates, or movement classes in our beautiful indoor shala. Beyond the classes, the shala is always open, offering you space for your own practice, meditation, or quiet reflection. In the evenings, we light the fireplace and come together in the cozy atmosphere of the living room — for conversation, laughter, or simply to relax side by side.

The days unfold with a natural rhythm: time for yourself, time in nature, and time to connect. You might take a walk to the beach, join an excursion with others, or share a spontaneous workshop or creative session. Participation is always optional — you choose how much community and how much solitude you need.

The spirit of these Community Days is one of openness and curiosity. It is not a fixed retreat program, but a shared living experience where each person contributes to the atmosphere. Optional services such as shared car rentals, massages, or local fruit and vegetable deliveries make life easier.

In short, the Community Days at Casa Erica offer a balance between independence and togetherness — a space where you can rest, create, and be inspired, while enjoying the company of like-minded people in the gentle light of the Andalusian coast.

 

Where

Casa Erica is where it all began — our home and the heart of our retreats since 2014. Nestled peacefully on the Andalusian coast, between Málaga and Nerja, it offers a serene setting just a short walk from the beach.

As the winters are mild over here we felt it would be a great idea to open our doors for everyone seeking more sunlight in that time.

What we love most about this place are the soft pastel sunsets, the untamed beaches, and the easygoing Andalusian spirit that fills the air. Casa Erica isn’t just a venue; it’s a home we cherish and love to share — along with our beloved companions, Alpha the dog and Hanuman the cat.

Here, time slows down, nature embraces you, and community comes to life.

What to expect

Nourishing Simplicity – Enjoy wholesome plant-based food, peaceful nature, and the grounding rhythm of slow living.

 

Shared Connection – Meet like-minded people and enjoy meaningful moments together through yoga, meals, and relaxed community life.

Freedom & Flexibility – Join group activities or simply rest, read, and recharge — your days are completely your own.

Mild Andalusian Climate – Bask in sunshine and soft breezes almost all year round, surrounded by sea views and olive groves.

  • stay in your own room (with en-suite or shared bathroom) at Casa Erica
