Join me in collaboration with Laura Smith for an unforgettable and transformational Spring Awakening Yoga Retreat nestled in the stunning Alpujarra mountains between Malaga and Granada in the Spanish region of Andalusia.
Spring is the season of rebirth and renewal! As the earth warms and the flowers begin to bloom, our energy is also being called to awaken.
Our retreat specially curated for women will provide you with a nurturing, supportive and empowering experience to shake off the slow and inward energy of winter and revive and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul with like-minded women.
During our time together you will have the opportunity to disconnect from your daily responsibilities, distractions and stresses and rediscover your passion for life with a mix of yoga classes, breathwork, meditation, workshops, as well as enjoying delicious local homemade vegetarian food, nature walks, sightseeing and most importantly peace and quiet to relax and reconnect to yourself.

OUR HOME FOR THE 5 NIGHTS
House of Light sits on a stunningly beautiful location overlooking the Spanish mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and, if you’re lucky, Morocco. Located in Spain’s sunshine region, it is only 1.5 hrs away from Malaga airport.
The villa has a series of thoughtfully designed spaces that invite guests to ‘come home’ to themselves.
Ranging from the wonderful, traditional yurts to deluxe, fully ensuite, Moroccan inspired rooms, inviting, calm spaces designed to both inspire and relax you
All rooms in the main house have underfloor heating and the yurts, their own individual heaters, to keep them cosy in the winter.
There are two Yoga Shala's available for us to practice in. One is indoors and the other is a Mongolian
Yurt.
We will also have the opportunity to practice outdoors in the beautiful grounds. In your free time there is a beautiful saltwater pool and spaces outside to sit in quiet, lounge in hammocks or relax with the group by the firepit. The surrounding area has wonderful places to walk in nature.

Picture this...
Starting the day with a nice cup of herbal tea, coffee or a fresh juice as you take time to breathe and watch the sun rise.
Followed by priceless moments of stillness as you reconnect to yourself and nature all around you in a mindful morning meditation that guides you into a gentle, energising morning yoga and pranayama practice to AWAKEN your body and mind.
Afterwards a nourishing and nutritious breakfast. Enjoying fresh fruit, warm freshly baked bread, homemade jam, delicious granola, and yogurts and maybe an organic egg from the happy free-range chicken family.
Then you have the rest of the morning to yourself with no responsibilities. Or maybe there are days with an EMPOWERING and TRANSFORMATIONAL workshop to support you to delve deeper into your journey of SELF-DISCOVERY!
Around midday, it’s time for a delicious, lunch outdoors on the sunny terrace.
Next you have the opportunity to spend your afternoon enjoying your own company or with your fellow retreaters.
With options of walking or hiking, relaxing in the gardens on a hammock or take a refreshing dip in the pool, while you enjoy the vibrancy of the beautiful surroundings in nature. Explore, play, laugh, heal, rest…whichever feels right for you on any given day.
At the end of the afternoon, we gather for some early evening sunset yoga or movement practice outside.
Working up an appetite it’s time to tantalise your taste buds and nourish your body in a feast of flavours with a mouth-watering dinner from our chef.
Come the end of the evenings you're free to enjoy time alone or with others, getting to know each other on a deeper level as the days go by.
On Saturday evening as our time together comes to an end we will UNLEASH OUR INNER WILD WOMAN with a fun and playful Conscious Dance party with Cacao and Fire Ceremony
Sunday we say our goodbyes with a closing ceremony to integrate and celebrate your wonderful self.
After this six days retreat, as you get set to head home you will feel more like your TRUE and AUTHENTIC self – RELAXED, ALIVE, CONNECTED, GROUNDED, HEALTHY, REFRESHED, with your inner fire ignited and passion for life restored.
You’ll also take away with you tools, techniques and practices that will support you to live life to your fullest potential, as well as lasting memories and friendships for life!
