Summary

The theme of the yoga & hiking retreat 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 week of yoga with like-minded people in sunny Andalusia. 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.
You can expect a total of 20 hours of yoga (Yin & Yang) and 12 hours of hiking
Creative, flowing and dynamic vinyasa flow yoga
Calm, meditative and deeply opening Yin Yoga
3 guided hikes in untouched nature

Everything has both aspects: Yin & Yang. Cultivate balance, harmony and freedom
on the yoga mat and in your life.
Yang: Flow with your breath through inspiring, creative and dynamic Vinyasa
flow yoga sequences. Use your potential, experience your limits in this physically demanding
challenging, invigorating and highly detoxifying Yang-influenced yoga practice. Breath
and movement are in a harmonious flow. Ujjayi breathing is the soul of this
soul of this flowing movement.
Yin: The gentle path to your inner center - deep & slow. Experience the deep immersion and
linger in the position, feel your limits, learn to let go. Direct your
attention inwards, observe your thoughts, be present. Breathing, meditation
and asana combine to create a very deep, opening and healing yoga practice.

The course is based on the concept of Yin & Yang and the 5 elements from the Indian tradition. 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. Everything will be taught in such a way that you can easily integrate what you have learned into your everyday life after the retreat.
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.
Between the yoga sessions there is plenty of time to unwind, read, relax by the pool, go to the beach or be pampered with a massage (massage to be booked and paid for separately)

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 rooms with private bathrooms. Single or double rooms can be booked. The house also has a spacious dining and living area with fireplace, conservatory, an indoor and outdoor pool, beautiful 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 running free around the property. 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.
