JIVAMUKTI + YIN
YOGA RETREAT
CATALUNYA, SPAIN
14-19 May 2027
This retreat takes us into the mountains of southern Catalunya, and you’re invited.
Five nights at an off-grid farmhouse in the hills near Rasquera, where the signal drops away, the air feels wide, and you can actually hear yourself think again. Mornings of breath, mantra and movement, long brunches in the sun, slow afternoons by the pool or out on the trails, and evenings of deep, quiet Yin under a sky full of stars.
This week isn’t about doing more. It’s about coming back to what’s underneath all the doing.
Tour operator: Just Yoga It – Mag. Audrey Hämmerle. Bookings are handled exclusively via Just Yoga It.
THE EXPERIENCE
Over 6 days and 5 nights, we’ll follow a simple arc: root, nourish, rise, bloom, shed. Each day is guided by one of the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine ( water, earth, wood, fire and metal ), with practices that build gently on the day before.
Mornings we move with dynamic Jivamukti yoga, breath and mantra. Evenings we settle into long, restful Yin. In between, the time is yours to hike, rest, read, make friends, or simply be. There’s nothing you need to already know before arriving. Just come, and let the week do what it does.
SAMPLE SCHEDULE
07:30 Morning meditation, starting the day in silence
08:00 Jivamukti class with chanting + hands-on assists
10:00 Nourishing brunch
11:30 Free time to swim, rest, read or explore
15:00 Afternoon snack

THE LOCATION
Off-grid in the mountains, a place where stillness is simply what’s there.
Our home for the week is Nomada Eco Mountain Retreat, set in the hills near Rasquera in the Tarragona countryside. Twelve acres of organic olive, almond and carob groves surround a restored farmhouse dating back to the 1800s, with the Serra de Cardó mountains as a backdrop.
Everything here runs on solar power and rainwater. There’s a pool to cool off in, both an indoor and an outdoor yoga shala, and hiking trails leading straight out from the door. Mid-May in the hills means warm days around 20–24°C and cool evenings, and come nightfall, the sky opens up into proper, uninterrupted stars.

YOUR TEACHER
Alexa is the founder of STUDIO MOND. For her, yoga has never been only a physical practice. She’s drawn to everything that comes with it: philosophy, chanting, breath, sound, and the quieter, more subtle parts.
Over the years, she has completed more than 1000 hours of training across different yoga traditions, most recently her Jivamukti teacher training in India. While she keeps exploring many approaches to the practice, Jivamukti and Yin are where she feels most at home.
On this retreat, her classes move between the two: mornings build heat, evenings bring you back down into long, quiet holds. You might hear the harmonium, explore a piece of yogic wisdom, or be guided into moments of stillness. Alexa focuses on hands-on assists and weaves in a bit of philosophy and chanting, always with a sense of lightness and joy. However the day moves, the mat stays the same thing: a place to come back home to yourself.
You’ll spend this week surrounded by olive trees, mountain air and people who’ve come with the same intention: to slow down, to reconnect, to feel.
Whether you’re coming with a friend or on your own, this retreat is a space to be fully yourself. You can dive into the dynamic practices or simply enjoy the softness of stillness. Everything is an invitation, nothing a requirement.
We can’t wait to have you.
