Feedback about the Retreat:

“I have been at many retreats and this is one of the best. I felt comfortable as soon as I arrived - I loved the 2 yoga sessions, the blissful quiet time, and the lazy afternoons reading by the pool. Evenings of friendship, faith, laughter, and singing. Rie creates an amazing, safe space to just be yourself and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and teaching.” Lisa (UK)

Practical Information

Address:

Finca el Moralejo. Tolox, Andalucía 29109, Spanien (that is all you get as they are not big on addresses. See map further down). The nearest small town on a mountain top is ‘Alozaina’. Most likely you’ll drive around the city and a few minutes later turn left up the hill towards ‘Finca el Moralejo’.

Getting to and from:

The house is placed 50 min. drive from Malaga Airport. More information on the taxi service later. As of now, we know that 4 people can share a taxi that costs around 90€ in all.

Flying to Malaga is the best option. You might not need to pay for luggage as it is warm, and what you can bring as “carry-on baggage” might be enough.

Prices:

This retreat is approximately 30% cheaper than most 6-day long yoga retreats. You get the whole retreat for only:

Registration opens January 2025!

This includes a CrossYoga journal, accommodation, food, bed sheet, and towels. Getting to and from the airport/house is not included. (You will be asked to help with the dishes 2 or 3 times during the retreat).

About the house & retreat

The retreat is held in one or two big houses. The main house have a pool and that is also where we do yoga. The house is build in a typical spanish style and it has a breathtaking view.
We will be a max of 18 participants if the retreat is full, and you’ll get to know people really well as there is plenty of time to talk - but that is if you want! You can also choose solitide if that is what you need!
You can join the retreat if you are not used to doing yoga! Don’t let that hold you back!
At the retreat I will be teaching Christian yoga and I teach with respect for anyone that might have other spiritual beliefs other than Christian.
