"'Back To Source'
Find Transformation In Stillness
​Anusara® Yoga Retreat
​
Andalucia, Spain​
14th - 20th September, 2025
I have been coming to this gorgeous retreat centre for many years now, and it truly feels like coming home and coming back to source ... hence the name of the retreat this year! Each time I come back it feels even more welcoming than before, yet it has evolved slightly and become even more beautiful as the owners continue to decorate and embellish this beautiful mountain side space.
I love coming back to this source of inspiration and rest for both myself and you lovely students. I love leading retreats (maybe that's why they have become so popular!) as this in depth time really can create a radical transformation for Yoga retreats are truly incredible! Attending a retreat allows you to pause and draw even more richness from your yoga practice. Extended time with me, Sarah, your dedicated teacher gives you the space to really get curious and improve is all aspects of yoga, without distraction and away from your routine. Picture yourself rolling out your mat in a beautiful practice space, relaxing around the pool in a resort deep in the Andalusian countryside ... this is all wonderfully conducive to relaxing and restoring more deeply than ever have before. All of this in the great company of like-minded souls. Honestly ... it really is nothing short of magical!
A yoga retreat magnifies the fabulous benefits of your regular weekly practice tenfold! Think of the fabulous feelings that come after an hours practice ... the clarity of mind it brings, the bodily ease and the renewed spring to your step, the savasana bliss-out ... then multiply that by six days away and the results are truly powerful!
In 2025 I am calling our retreat 'Back To Source' and I am drawing inspiration from the god Shiva who resided in the mountainous Himalayas, and we too withdraw into the mountain sanctuary of Molino Del Rey which is literally built into the cool, cavernous mountain side. Drawing on myth and legend surrounding Shiva and his 'dance with life'.

Yoga retreats pause time. Allowing space for you to reflect and ponder, to journal, to stretch and move, to laugh with like minded people, to hide away a while, to eat well, to sleep deeply and to step outside of the daily churn. On retreat you can simply be you ... ditch the labels (leave behind your role, your job title, your family position, the labels you give yourself) and start listening to your heart space.
This in the fourth time I will lead a retreat at Molino Del Rey in Spain ... I keep coming back because this space is magical too. Literally carved out of the cool mountain side, with a natural water spring running right through its heart, meditation caves and a yoga shala that will take your breath away. The whole resort has been lovingly hand decorated with mosaics, paintings, carvings, artefacts and the love put into the entire space is palpable.
The luxury of being in a beautiful yoga shala, in a space that oozes calm will help you focus inward and gives offers you an increased capacity to indulge in what you love. Having me on hand for the entire week will give you the confidence to play a little more with poses, get curious about technique, discuss the nuances, and develop all aspects of your personal yoga practice. I see students on retreat evolve and refine their yoga in all ways. Bodies begin to open up, emotions settle and spirits life as the week progresses and there is always a little transformative sparkle in the eyes at the end of the week. "
