Summary

Discover a week full of depth, silence and warm community - in a magical place on the coast of Andalusia. Lela Yoga invites you to come to rest with us and reconnect with yourself, nature and other seekers.

Why this retreat is special:

- Holistic practice & inner strength
Experience meditation, hatha, vinyasa, yin yoga and yoga nidra in combination with creative self-reflection. Learn to release tension, activate your energy with breathing exercises and strengthen your body, mind and soul. The practice gives you lightness, joy and a clear view of your inner nature.

- Mediterranean flair & proximity to the sea
Only a gentle walk separates you from the beach; surrounded by flowering gardens, hammocks and meditative terraces, every breath feels like arriving in the moment.(LELA YOGA HAMBURG)

- Heart-warming community
Many participants return for precisely this reason: because they feel grounded, free and deeply connected - in a circle of friends of yoga, silence and exchange.(LELA YOGA HAMBURG)

- Culinary delights with heart
Singing cooks prepare predominantly regional and organic dishes - lovingly, fresh and with music in their hearts - and nourish body and soul in equal measure.(LELA YOGA HAMBURG, LELA YOGA HAMBURG)

- Spaces to be and to gather
Whether in the hammock, on the roof terrace or by the pool: here you will find both quiet retreats and places for trusting exchange.(LELA YOGA HAMBURG)

- Excursions & relaxation spots nearby
Just a 10-minute walk and you're by the sea. Or explore picturesque places like Benajarafe, Nerja and Málaga (approx. 50 km away) - perfect for little adventures between yoga sessions.(LELA YOGA HAMBURG)
