September Magic

Intermediate ✺ 11.- 16. September 2025 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

September is a time of transition, bridging the vibrancy of summer with the serenity of autumn. It’s a month for reflection, gratitude, and realignment. With three-quarters of the year behind us, it’s the perfect time to pause and reset.

This week, we’ll immerse ourselves in the magic of this transformative time, away from daily distractions, in a secluded mountain location filled with stillness and beauty. Whether you seek solitude or connection with like-minded Yogis, the experience is yours to shape.

During the retreat, you’ll be free to be yourself. Together, we’ll explore the joy of yoga practice with ease and fun. Yoga means union—with yourself and with nature—and I look forward to deepening this connection with you in the magical surroundings of September.

Mornings will begin with meditation, pranayama, and dynamic Jivamukti Yoga, featuring asana, chanting, dharma, and uplifting music. Prior experience with Jivamukti Yoga, Vinyasa, or Ashtanga is recommended.

Afternoons will focus on quieter practices—workshops, asana labs, chanting, and restorative yoga to maintain balance.

Some evenings, we’ll gather for satsang—a space for chanting, sharing, or simply being together.

Philippa Heyden

Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher

In early 2015, Philippa completed her Teacher Training at the magical Govardhan Eco Village in India, under the guidance of her teachers Sharon Gannon, David Life, Lady Ruth, and Jules Febre, with Yogeswari as her mentor.

What excites Philippa about Jivamukti Yoga is the unique and transformative combination of intense asana practice, meditation, chanting, diverse music styles, pranayama, and the deep awareness of both the internal and external environments. She finds that Jivamukti Yoga provides a holistic approach to practice, integrating body, mind, and spirit while fostering a profound connection to the world around us. For her, the practice is not just a physical discipline but a way of life that encourages mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness.
