A Culinary & Yoga Retreat //
Last days of Summer
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.
