Spain Retreat 2025

NEXT DATE: 9th - 16th October 2025

The Venue 

La Catitera (Almegijar, Andalucia, Spain) is a beautiful retreat house with purpose built yoga and movement studio in wild nature at the foothills of the Alpujarras part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in southern spain .

Alev the daughter of Suzy who owns La Catitera will be cooking vegetarian meals with locally sourced food. Alev a nutritionist uses wholefoods with a meditarrean twist that reflect her turkish/greek background and time spent in spain.

The Retreat - “ORIGINS”

Somatic yoga - Somatic Movement - Restorative Yoga - Yoga Nidra - Embodied Drawing. No previous experience of any of these things necessary!

This work seeks to support cultivating the body as a tangible place of resource, aliveness, regulation and inspiration.

Through somatic yoga, somatic movement, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and embodied drawing we will explore themes of beingness, pulsation, vibration, fluidity, yield, reach, rise and push; movement patterns that are both resonant in yoga and our earliest movement imprints. These movement patterns take us both into the heart of deep rest and into more expansive active places supported from the ground up and our relationship to earth, self, gravity and space.

We will learn how to listen inward, follow our own instinctual inner impulses and unfold into movement without force. This gives space for our bodies to inhabit themselves as they are from a place of choice, agency, body intelligence and a reconnection to felt sense. These are pathways back to towards an embodied and connected relationship with ourselves, supporting the body to move into a state of regeneration.

All sessions will be guided and are inclusive to everyone and everybody no matter your level of experience with yoga and/or somatic movement practices.

Come as you are!

I am really excited to be returning to La Maison Anglaise a beautiful walled haven and retreat venue in Taroudant, Morocco.

Well known for magical meaningful holidays, excellent food and exceptional staff, this award-winning set up is a stunning sustainably-run eco-lodge with a chlorine-free pool and permaculture gardens. Located on the south side of the ancient town walls of Taroudant, which enjoys the best winter climate in Morocco.

We will learn how to listen inward, follow our own instinctual inner impulses and unfold into movement without force. This gives space for our bodies to inhabit themselves as they may need to in each moment from a place of choice, agency, body intelligence and a reconnection to felt sense. These are pathways back to towards an embodied and connected relationship with ourselves, supporting the body to move into a state of regeneration.

All sessions will be guided and are inclusive to everyone and everybody no matter your level of experience with yoga and/or somatic movement practices.
