“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.
The whole retreat was organized so well. We enjoyed great cooking by the chef 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
“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 Spain. 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 Elliott, England
Location (Javea, Alicante) & Surroundings:
This vibrant yoga holiday is set in the picturesque town of Javea, nestled on the Costa Blanca in Alicante.

This area, with its inviting Mediterranean climate, is the perfect place for those seeking both relaxation and some adventure. Javea provides an enchanting backdrop for a memorable yoga holiday.
Javea's diverse landscape is marked by the majestic Montgo Mountain, a natural park that offers breathtaking views and a range of hiking trails for nature enthusiasts. The mountain’s presence adds a sense of awe-inspiring beauty to the area, making it a perfect spot for outdoor activity.
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.

Set close to the picturesque town of Javea, our accommodation consists of a beautiful Spanish house, surrounded by two charming smaller houses divided into several cosy apartments. Each apartment is thoughtfully designed, not only featuring a mix of single and shared bedrooms and multiple bathrooms but also offering the convenience of its own kitchen and living space. This arrangement provides a homely and private setting for you to relax and unwind. Some apartments even offer their own private terraces, perfect for enjoying a moment of solitude.
At the heart of our accommodation is the main house, where our cook prepares delicious, nourishing meals. We gather here to enjoy our meals together, either in the inviting indoor space or on the terrace.

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.

The main differences between the 7-day retreat and the 6-day holiday are the duration (6 versus 7 days) and the location (Javea versus Orgiva).
Javea is more of a beach town and the location is a bit more integrated into the local community. You'll be close to the beach and the promenade, offering easy access to the vibrant life by the sea.
Orgiva, on the other hand, is nestled in the mountains. It offers a more secluded experience, disconnecting you from the outside world. While we also have a beach day in Orgiva, surrounded by other people, the atmosphere is distinctly more quiet.
Orgiva's retreat is exclusive and caters to a small group, enhancing the intimacy and personalized experience. Javea, depending on the number of sign-ups, might host more people, reflecting a slightly different vibe.
-
Yes, my retreats are suitable for all kinds of levels of yogis and practitioners. For those who just want to practice yoga while on a yoga retreat, for those who have a regular (more advanced) practice and for beginners. I accommodate all levels.
The dynamic flow practices will be taken at a slower pace. So for beginners, it is easy to follow. For more experienced yogis it is the perfect chance to focus on good alignment and technique.
