Experience the allure of Spain’s enchanting southern coast and the birthplace of Picasso. Join Laura Jane Mellencamp and like-minded friends in embracing the art of simplicity during this retreat, where we’ll nourish the sacred act of being fully present. It’s your chance to disconnect from the clamor of an overburdened mind and step into a realm of tranquility, an invitation to explore the depths of your soul’s desire to thrive. Come transcend the ordinary and bask in the extraordinary magic of Andalusia, cultivating your physical and spiritual well-being with Laura Jane’s morning yoga and breath-work sessions looking out on the oceanfront visa. Immerse yourself in the abundant nature through daily hikes, walking meditation, and afternoon yoga nidra and restorative practices, all centered around the gift of self-care.

Malaga, Spain located in the heart of Andalusia, is a coastal gem known for its irresistible blend of rich history and vibrant modernity. With its sun-soaked beaches, historic architecture, and thriving arts scene, Malaga offers a perfect Mediterranean escape. Meanwhile, Andalusia, the region that cradles Malaga, captivates travelers with its fiery flamenco rhythms, mouthwatering cuisine, and a tapestry of cultural influences that tell the story of Spain’s diverse heritage.

Using the practice of meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura Jane has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities at the moment create lasting friendships and gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever. This yoga retreat is for all ages and all life experiences. And perfect for all levels of practitioners, yoga teachers, and bodywork therapists. Private yoga sessions will also be available.

Testimonials

“I am so excited to attend my third retreat with Laura Jane and this amazing community of yogis. There is a reason so many of us keep coming back year after year. Beyond the incredible resort we are staying at (and “incredible” doesn’t do it justice), Laura Jane creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which to explore your yoga practice regardless of where you are in your life. The twice-daily practices and daily sutra study, combined with the beauty of the Baja peninsula and the phenomenal food, make this a retreat everyone should experience!” – CATHY C.

“I try to never miss Laura Jane’s wonderful yoga retreats! They are the one time of the year that is just about me. I don’t have to take care of anyone or anything other than myself. The combination of yoga, healthy food, journaling, quiet time, a wonderful guide, and amazing friends is just what I need to regenerate for the year ahead. Not to mention that Prana Delmar is a real gem!” – KANDICE H.

“A trip to Greece had been on my “bucket list” for many years. The experience with Laura Jane in Amorgos was beautiful, peaceful, and exceeded my expectations about visiting Greece! We practiced well-thought-out yoga classes twice a day and still had plenty of time for outings on the island or time to relax by the pool. The group was a true sangha, community, of friendly open people. Old friends reconnected, and new friends were made by each yogi. I feel confident about traveling with Laura Jane!” – KAY G.

“Everything was so natural, like windows meant to overlook the snow-covered mountains, but cozy and warm both in our cabins and lodge. Ideally located for a retreat meals were created by a delightful chef. Laura Jane led us with just the amount of yoga and activity to keep it still a relaxing retreat.” – MARLA

“The Icelandic Yoga Retreat was magical. The lodgings were cozy and clean, the yoga room was beautiful (especially at night!), amenities were perfect (sauna, hot tub under the stars, expert masseuse), and we were treated to three expertly and lovingly prepared meals a day by our dedicated chef. The twice-daily yoga practice was accessible to all levels and Laura Jane made a point of teaching the whole of yoga, not just the physical practice. We had a wonderful group of human beings and it was a pleasure spending time with each one.” – JULIE D.
