The town's coastline is dotted with idyllic beaches and secluded coves, ideal for sunbathing, swimming or simply enjoying the soothing sounds of the sea. The Arenal Beach, with its golden sands and lively promenade, is a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

Relax & Renew: A week of balance and rejuvenation
Join me for a rejuvenating six days in the peaceful setting of a beautiful location in Javea, where relaxation and renewal await you. My goal is to help you find balance in your body, mind and heart. A balance you can take back and integrate into your daily (busy) life.

A journey of self-connection:
I will guide you on a journey to deeply connect with yourself. My program includes a variety of yoga practices to open your body and calm your mind to find your inner peace.
You'll experience both Yin and Yang yoga sessions:

• Yin Yoga: A gentle, meditative practice focusing on deep relaxation and letting go, enhancing the health and flexibility of your connective tissues.

We will practice Yang yoga in the morning, Yin yoga in the afternoon and also do combined Yin Yang sessions. In the combined Yin-Yang sessions, you'll find that the mindfulness of Yin enhances the vitality of your Yang practice, bringing a harmonious balance to your energy.

YOGA HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Beautiful accommodation: Stay in a stunning Spanish house with two additional smaller houses, each featuring cosy apartments. Enjoy the lush garden with big palms and a large pool, offering a tranquil oasis for relaxation.

Yoga for all levels:
My retreat welcomes yoga practitioners of all levels. We can modify poses to meet your individual needs, ensuring a comfortable and rewarding experience for everyone. While we practice yoga almost daily, sometimes twice a day, our sessions are designed to be accessible and enjoyable.

• Morning Yoga sessions: These are generally more dynamic, offering a chance to challenge and energize the body in a supportive environment. We flow through various poses, stretching and strengthening the whole body. Modifications are always available to suit your comfort level and your body’s needs.

• Afternoon Yin Yoga: Our afternoon sessions focus on Yin yoga, a more passive and meditative practice. We hold postures longer, encouraging stillness in both body and mind. This practice is beneficial for strengthening connective tissues, joints, and bones, as well as working on the body’s energy channels.

Hike:
In addition to yoga, we offer a hike to explore the beautiful coastal area or the Montgo mountain. These activities vary in intensity but always include some uphill walking. The level of challenge depends on your personal experience and fitness level.

Remember, this is your retreat, so feel free to participate as much or as little as you like.

Who joins my yoga holidays?

I often get asked about the kinds of people who attend my yoga holidays. Our guests include both men and women from various walks of life, with different ages and backgrounds. While many come alone, seeking a personal journey, we also get couples, family and friends.

What's beautiful about my yoga holidays is the natural bond that forms among participants. From the very start, there's a sense of community and connection. It's a place where friendships are often made. However, we equally respect your need for solitude and personal space. You're free to enjoy the tranquillity of our terrace and pool and all activities are entirely optional. Your comfort, relaxation and enjoyment are our top priorities.

reviews

“The 5-day retreat with Jane was, in one word, fantastic! The program consisted of a nice variety of different types of yoga and other activities that were taught with great knowledge and love. I learned many things that I can easily apply in my daily (busy) life. I would recommend this to anyone. To come a little closer to yourself in a world where we normally are (have to be) “on” (active) all the time. I met very nice people and the daily fresh food was delicious!
I look back on 5 special and beautiful days.”

— ASTRID BOOT, THE NETHERLANDS, SEPTEMBER 2022

“Jane is a wonderful yoga teacher. I enjoyed 5 days of yoga lessons with her in Malaga during the 5-Day Energizing Yoga retreat. The Vinyasa lessons were encouraging and the adjustments and tips were very thoughtful and adequate. The Yin lessons were very relaxing. In addition, I liked the way Jane chose her words and tone of voice. I would definitely recommend joining her retreat!”

— KAREN TOP, UTRECHT, NOVEMBER 2021

“A huge heartfelt thanks goes out to Jane and her team for guiding me through an interesting and insightful journey during their Yin Yang yoga retreat in May 2019. To the magestic mountains, that awesome view and the wonderful other yogis also on their very personal paths. For mindful meditations giving space to think and breathe, with downward dogs all giving strength to accomplish what lies ahead. For nature giving it’s all in so many stunning and emotional stirring ways and mainly for the love, support and care that everyone gave each other. It truly was a magical week filled with bountiful, soulful and delicious food, boundless love, belly shaking laughter and good cleansing tears.”

— Becky Elliot, england, may 2019

“What words can you give to a week that was so special. A small attempt: the delicious food, the lovely yoga, a teacher, Jane, who has an eye for everyone, an environment where you secretly want to open your eyes during a meditation to see if you really sitting on such a beautiful mountain and a very sweet group of unique people. 
And I almost forgot the special sound journey with top chef Tiziana. In summary: a magical week! Namaste.”

— INGRID DEELSTRA, NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 2018

“Feeling so lucky & grateful.
This week was a real eye-opener.
Thank you for all your optimism, flexibility, openness, concern, kindness, calmness and zest for life. This place felt like a beautiful, warm and safe cocoon in which everyone could grow. All of you are a source of inspiration. Big thanks.”

— britt Heylen, Belgium, may 2019

“I felt relaxed from the first minute. A special group and an even more special week. Fantastic food and balance in every day. This week has given me peace and helped me to open my heart to all love. I received so much strength from the group, from Jane and from Tiziana. This week felt like: Together we are one.”

— Suzanne van der Veer, NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 2018

“Thank you so much for the nice relaxing week!
It was very good to work on the body and mind during the yoga and hiking and of course with the amazing food! I really enjoyed this week, in the sun and with the group. I liked the variation in the program with the different activities but also time to relax.”

— Dorien varin & Jorie Versmissen, netherlands, may 2019

“What a special week. I wanted to go away alone for a bit, but not eat and do yoga alone. I found a retreat via Google. And we had Jane as the host and yoga teacher. What a fantastic lady. She put everyone at ease. Beautiful lessons, meditations and the silent walk she called rebellious because she made this very special. What a week with a super group.
Oh and the food ... for that reason alone you have to go."

— anita bos lammers, NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 2018

“What a warm welcome from you, Jane. I have felt this warmth throughout the whole week, from you, but also from the rest of the group. What a great cook too. I got new inspiration, but also the peace of mind I was looking for. An incredibly beautiful experience that I can recommend to everyone.”

— tessa peul, NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 2018

“I was lucky to have spent a few months with Jane as my yoga teacher on Bonaire AND to have attended the Yin Yang Yoga Retreat in the mountains near Málaga in October 2018.

The whole retreat was organized so well. We enjoyed great cooking by Tiziana and stayed in a beautiful, traditional, Spanish ‘cortijo’. Jane welcomed us all with open arms and an open heart. She made us feel comfortable during the yoga classes and beyond. Her teaching is professional, I love how she could easily adapt to the group and the location. The group was in harmony and Jane knew exactly what type of yoga classes we needed each day. I was moved by her Yoga Nidra session; she is an incredible ‘narrator’ with a calming and suiting voice for meditations.

This retreat week meant so much to me. Thank you for this wonderful experience dear Jane. You are beautiful, loving and inspirational! Until we meet again, which is soon hopefully.” 

— Daphne Nossels, NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 2018
