Summary

The theme of the yoga & Ayurveda retreat/training is the 5 elements of earth, water, fire, air and space
The motto is "Everything in balance" "The dance between letting go and doing".

I invite you to an inspiring yoga week with like-minded people in sunny Andalusia, on the Coast of Light. Recharge your batteries and find peace and relaxation in our private villa, surrounded by untouched nature and with breathtaking views over the white sandy beach, the picturesque bay and the coast of Morocco.
The course is based on the concept of Yin & Yang, the 5 elements from the Indian tradition and the millennia-old health system of Ayurveda. Twice a day we practise Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga, combining stillness and movement, letting go and doing. Our practice is supported by various breathing techniques, meditations and mudras, sometimes energizing, sometimes calming. We immerse ourselves in the world of Ayurveda, learn about various cleansing techniques, the basic pillars of Ayurvedic nutrition, the secret of the doshas and the 5 elements. Everything is taught in such a way that you can easily integrate it into your everyday life after the retreat. You will get to know a yoga practice that suits your dosha.
We will spend a lot of time in nature and will be in constant contact with the energy of the elements earth, water, fire, air and space. This allows us to really feel the power of the elements, absorb their energy and recharge our batteries.
Yoga and meditation at sunrise and sunset, sometimes in the garden or on the beach, walking meditation in the pine forest, Wim Hof ice bath and much more awaits you.
This week is characterized by a lot of practice and invites you to come into deeper contact with your body and your whole being. Time to observe your thoughts, explore sensations in your body and mind and consciously perceive your emotions without judgment. Cultivating mindfulness and paying attention to how it feels in the body rather than thinking about how it should look. Finding joy and freedom in yoga practice, both in movement and in stillness.
One of the highlights is the Wim Hof method with its breathing technique and ice bath 😊

Accommodation

Our private luxury villa is located 6km outside the town of Tarifa and is situated on a hill surrounded by unspoiled nature, with a breathtaking view of the white sandy beach, the picturesque bay and the Moroccan coast. It has 6 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a spacious dining and living area with fireplace, conservatory, an indoor and outdoor pool, magnificent terrace and a 10 hectare garden, as well as a beautiful yoga room. The property is surrounded by a nature reserve, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and watch the goats, cows and horses roaming free. Time stands still here. The moment is present
The white beach is 10 km long, undeveloped and invites you to take long walks. Or just bury your feet in the warm sand, enjoy the sound of the sea, the sun and let your mind wander.
Not only the villa with its location, but also the charming town of Tarifa, and especially the picturesque Moorish-influenced old town, are something very special. Tarifa is the southernmost town on the European mainland, and this is where the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet. Less than 14 km away is Africa, Morocco and the city of Tangier can be reached in just one hour by ferry.
