A Fresh Start
NEW YEARS YOGA RETREAT
29 DEC - 3 JAN 2024/25 | ANDALUCIA, SPAIN
If slowing things down to focus on YOU and your well-being as the year comes to a close, having time to reflect on the past year, and getting clear about what you desire for the year to come is important to you, then THIS retreat is for you!
Join us for a 6-day New Year's Yoga Retreat filled with juicy Vinyasa, Yin yoga, breath work, guided journaling workshops, and a New Year's celebration at a beautiful retreat center in the hills of Andalusia, south of Spain.
FULLY BOOKED - WAITING LIST OPEN
“As a seasonal yoga retreat go-er, Inspiro Yoga went beyond my expectations and was by far THE best retreat I’ve been to!
I ended up having the best time ever celebrating New Years + my birthday there and making new beautiful friendships.”
JEANET LINETT, NORWAY
The Program
Imagine combining empowering Vinyasa and Power yoga with potent practices like breath-work, journaling and yin yoga - at the turning point of the new year. Practices that help clear stagnant energy, provide a fresh perspective on life, and offer a chance to slow down while boosting your energy.
We couldn’t think of a better combo for New Years!
Each day varies a little bit yet always starts with a 2 hour morning practice of dynamic yoga, pranayama and meditation. You can expect long warm-up’s, plenty of time to flow, play and try new things. And an extra long Savasana of course!
Our morning classes are physically demanding and not suitable for complete beginners to yoga. With that said, as long as you’re ready to move, sweat and are open to challenge yourself (in a good way!) you’re more than welcome to join us!
Try our FREE CLASSES to see if you resonate with how we teach and/or reach out with any questions you might have.
In the afternoon we come together again for deep-stretching yin yoga and meditation on some days and on others a playful asana workshop.
This retreat includes one guided group breath-work session, as well as the chance to book 1-on-1 sessions. Throughout the week there will also be 2 guided journaling workshops.
The Food
Tierra Cósmica owners Anne-Marie and Benjamin, creators of Pachamama Organic, have been catering for retreats, events, and weddings for over 15 years. We couldn’t be more excited to have them cook for us for this New Year’s Retreat!
You’ll indulge in 100% organic, wholesome food made from natural produce, much of which comes from Tierra Cósmica’s own garden!
After the daily morning practice, a generous brunch buffet with everything from smoothies, juices, toasted granola, and overnight oats to freshly baked sweet loaves, savory pastries, Buddha bowls, and hearty breakfast salads will be served. Along with that, you’ll be able to choose from a wide array of loose-leaf herbal teas, coffee, breads, crackers, homemade jams, and an abundance of fresh fruits.
In the afternoon, between sessions, you can look forward to nutritious super snacks such as energy balls, raw crackers with dips, and soup shots, paired with homemade kombucha, kefir, chai, or golden milk.
For dinner, we’ll enjoy a variety of creative and seasonal dishes, served either buffet-style or individually plated.
If you have any food allergies or eat only lactose/gluten-free, please make sure to mention it in the booking form.
Our Venue
TIERRA CÓSMICA - A SANCTUARY IN THE HILLS OF ANDALUSIA
Located in the Alpujata Valley of Monda, about 20 minutes inland from Marbella, in the south of Spain, Tierra Cósmica overlooks a lush valley with small fincas and fruit orchards.
With over 15 years of experience in the retreat industry, owners Anne-Marie and Benjamin have not only managed a previous retreat venue but also operate a successful catering business, Pachamama Organic, specialising in weddings, events, and retreats. They opened the doors to their new sanctuary, Tierra Cósmica, in 2023.
The Temple, the spacious, light-filled yoga shala, is the beating heart of Tierra Cósmica and it’s where we’ll gather for our yoga and breath-work sessions.
Connected to the shala, in the main building, there are 8 shared rooms spread over the ground and top floors, sharing two bathrooms. The rooms are a mix of triple, double, and twin.
As you walk down the stairs from the main building, you’ll find a unique dining area where indoors meet outdoors. It’s well protected from the elements and is where we’ll enjoy all our delicious meals together.
A few meters further down, there’s a spring-fed plunge pool and plenty of chill-out spots—perfect for lazy siestas, book-reading, and time for reflection.
In addition to the rooms in the main building, there’s also The Casita, a smaller, fully-equipped house with its own bathroom and kitchen. It sleeps 4 people and is perfect if you’re a group wanting some more privacy and comfort.
Just a short walk away from the gates of Tierra Cósmica, you can find a trail through a dry riverbed leading to some refreshing pools and small waterfalls. There’s even a beautiful spring with fresh water running abundantly all year round.
The charming, whitewashed village of Monda, a 15-minute walk away, is set in the Sierra de las Nieves biosphere. This beautiful mountainous area with many streams and forests showcases a lesser-known side of Andalucia. Monda offers small shops and a few nice restaurants.
HOW TO GET HERE
Located just 40 minutes from Malaga International Airport and a 20-minute drive from Marbella center, Tierra Cósmica is conveniently situated in the Alpujata Valley of Monda. It feels away from everything, but it is very quick and easy to get here.
You can either rent a car, which is nice if you want to explore the area while at the retreat, or share a taxi or Uber with others (about €75). We’re happy to connect you with others to share the cost.
