Summary

Discover a week of relaxation, well-being, tranquility, and warm community in an enchanting location on the coast of Andalusia. Lela Yoga invites you to find peace, feel good, connect with yourself, and connect with inspiring people and nature. What makes this retreat 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 will give you lightness, joy, and a clear view of your inner nature. - Massages & well-being
Enjoy the experienced hands that pamper you. Various types of massage are available. Bathe in the sea or in the pool. Let your soul dangle in the hammock, surrounded by blooming beauties in spacious gardens. Enjoy the delicious food that singing cooks prepare fresh throughout the day. - Mediterranean flair & proximity to the sea
Just a gentle stroll separates you from the beach; surrounded by blooming gardens, hammocks, and meditative terraces, every breath feels like arriving in the moment. - Heartwarming community Many participants return for this very reason: because they feel grounded, free, and deeply connected—in a circle of friends through yoga, silence, and exchange.

- Culinary delights with heart Our talented chefs prepare mainly regional and organic dishes—lovingly, freshly, and with music in their hearts—nourishing both body and soul. - Spaces for being and gathering Whether in a hammock, on the roof terrace, or by the pool: here you will find both quiet retreats and places for trusting exchange. - Excursions & places to relax nearby Just a 10-minute walk and you are at the sea. Or explore picturesque places such as Benajarafe, Nerja, and Málaga (approx. 50 km away) – perfect for little adventures between yoga sessions.

I have been practicing yoga and meditation for over 20 years. I deepened my experience in India, Thailand, and Australia, as well as through many years of guidance from Ursula Lyon. Training with Remo Rittiner, A. G. Mohan, Oliver Sheridan, and in Anahata Yoga, among others, expanded my knowledge of Eastern healing methods, mindfulness, and Western anatomy.
