Moonspiration

What I enjoyed most about the retreat was the peaceful location in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by silence and tranquility. The daily routine of yoga and meditation felt incredibly healthy, both mentally and physically, while the delicious and nourishing food added so much balance to the experience. On top of that, the warm and familiar connection with the people made everything even more special, creating a truly uplifting atmosphere.

I loved everything from beginning to the end. The food, the people, the warmth, the talks, the yoga. I slept in a tipi, I woke up to so many nature-sounds: the rooster, chickens and crickets. We could choose what to do everyday, chilling by the pool, going on a walk or hike, going to the beach,… I reflected and grew a lot during the one week and I can only recommend!

The place itself is very nice with the pool, yoga shala, outdoor showers and dining area.

I really enjoyed my stay at the tipi. It was spacious, nicely furnished and private. Because of this glamping experience, I spent most of my time outdoors which felt great.

The food is prepared with love, very fresh and healthy.

Twice a day there are 1.5h yoga sessions without any pressure to participate, which gave a lot of freedom and flexibility.

The whole team was very nice and helpful to make the stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.

Prachtige plek, mooi uitzicht tijdens yoga en tijdens het eten.

Moon and Mati made me feel very welcome, they run the retreat center with such ease and joy, always ready to help in any way. Moon is an excellent yoga teacher, she challenges you if you want more, she takes care of you if it's too much. She gives you the opportunity to experiment in your practice. Mati is an amazing cook, manager, acrobat, philosopher, ... His energy is truly inspiring. The team of volunteers were incredibe, helping out in so many ways for the guests to relax and enjoy the retreat. Most guests were solo travellers, mostly female. There were great group moments but if you want to take time and space for yourself, that's also perfectly fine.

We had an amazing acroyoga and slackline session and dinner on the beach, homemade bread every morning, beautiful sunsets, meditations, ...

I couldn't have chosen a better place to get away from city life and reset!

The retreat had such a positive atmosphere with very friendly people, incredible food and great yoga instructing. The location was stunning, I feel very grateful for such an amazing experience.

- the food is incredibly tasty, healthy and you have plenty to choose from.

- the environment: beautiful nature, nice beaches and it is very quiet.

- the hosts: Moon & Mati are real kind people and also the volunteers were very fun to be around!

- the yoga lessions: you have your lessons with a stunning view and can expect personal instructions in a very kind way.

They also provide very nice sessions you can book separately. I highly recommend checking them out.

Meine Woche im Holistic Yoga Retreat bei Mati und Moon, in der Nähe von Alicante, war eine Erfahrung, die mein Leben tiefgreifend verändert hat.

Mati und Moon haben mit ihrer Finca eine wahre Oase geschaffen. Die Lage ist ruhig, aber der Strand und ein kleines, schönes Örtchen sind nur eine kurze Autofahrt entfernt. Von Beginn an wurde ich wie ein Familienmitglied aufgenommen. Ihr Zuhause mit Pool, Hühnern, Katzen und wunderschönen Glamping-Tipis strahlt Ruhe und Geborgenheit aus.

Jeder Tag begann mit Meditation und Yoga, was für mich eine völlig neue Erfahrung war. Danach gab es ein hausgemachtes, frisches Brunch, mit Gemüse und Obst aus dem eigenen Garten und selbst gebackenem Brot. Man schmeckte die Achtsamkeit und Hingabe in jedem Bissen.

Die Auswahl an Workshops – von Kunst über Astrologie bis zu Human Design – war inspirierend und half mir, den Zugang zu mir selbst wiederzufinden.

Was diesen Ort und diese Erfahrung jedoch so besonders macht, sind die Menschen. Mati und Moon haben eine Gemeinschaft geschaffen, in der man sich geborgen und gesehen fühlt. Die Verbindung mit den anderen Teilnehmern war tief und liebevoll, und ich habe so viele wunderschöne Seelen getroffen, die meine Reise auf eine Weise bereichert haben, die ich kaum in Worte fassen kann. Am Ende der Woche fühlte ich mich wieder bei mir angekommen. Ich bin unendlich dankbar für diese Erfahrung und werde immer mit einem warmen Gefühl im Herzen an diese Woche zurückdenken.

Spending a week at Moonspiration Yoga Retreat was truly a gift to myself. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a special experience. Staying in a cozy tipi was wonderful, providing a unique and peaceful connection to nature. The outdoor showers have stunning views.

The retreat's program is thoughtfully curated, offering a diverse range of yoga practices and workshops that kept each day exciting and enriching. Every session helped me deepen my practice and explore new perspectives. I was a little bit nervous about partner yoga and acro yoga, but I have to admit that it was so much fun and we all did things we never thought we could!

Despite the full schedule, there was plenty of time to unwind, whether that meant reading, journaling, or simply relaxing by the pool. It was also lovely to hang out with the other guests, sharing experiences and enjoying each other's company.

And the food—absolutely amazing! For each meal Mati presented a table full of delightful dishes, nourishing both body and soul.

A heartfelt thank you to Moon, Mati, and all the incredible volunteers for taking such good care of us. Your warmth and dedication made this retreat unforgettable. I leave feeling refreshed, inspired and grateful for this beautiful experience.

What an amazing week! I cannot thank Mati and Moon enough. I am so happy I went here to celebrate my birthday it was so special. If you are thinking to book this is your sign to do it!! ❤️

Had a fabulous retreat experience with Moonspiration! It was the perfect week to reconnect with myself, diving deeper in self inquiry, healing and connecting with other beautiful souls on a similar path! I can warmly recommend joining one of Moonspiration’s retreat! Moon and Mati are so gifted and loving and will give you so many lovely experiences and insights and most probably you will return with many new tools and a strengthened belief in yourself and what you can do! The retreat is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners as they adapt the practices and workshop after the group. The vegetarian/vegan food is super yummy and made with love and the facilities and the environment was truly perfect and so serene! To put it short I loved it and feel that I have a lot to process and integrate during the coming weeks and months and also made lasting friendships! We as a group had so much fun together, and it was a blessing to the share the experience with them. THANK YOU🙏❤️

Een fantastische ervaring rijker! Heerlijk om op te staan met een meditatie van Matias om vervolgens de dag te vervolgen met yoga klasjes van Natalia en Tjitske. De workshops waren verrassend en de locatie dichtbij zee, zodat je op de vrije momenten een fijne wandeling kon maken en in de zee zwemmen. Tjitske en Matias zijn super warme hosts die bovendien goed weten wat ze aan het doen zijn. Het was jammer om weer naar huis te moeten, maar ik heb nu een goede plek om weer terug te keren. Voor iedereen een aanrader: voor ervaren en minder ervaren beoefenaars van yoga.

Ein sehr wohl durchdachter Retreat, bei dem es jeden Tag ein unerwartetes Highlight gab. Es wurden viele verschiedene Yogastile gezeigt, neu war für mich dabei Ashtanga und Acro-Yoga. Moon geht dabei auf jeden individuell, dem jeweiligen Level entsprechend, ein. Mati nimmt bei der Zubereitung des Essens Rücksicht auf persönliche Vorlieben und Unverträglichkeiten und sorgt u.a. mit täglich selbst gebackenem Brot dafür, dass es jedem schmeckt. Die ganze Crew gibt einem das Gefühl, gleichzeitig gut umsorgt zu sein und dennoch in Ruhe gelassen zu werden. Das Grundstück liegt herrlich ruhig, umgeben von Bergen, abseits asphaltierter Straßen. Auf den ersten Blick wirkt es etwas verwildert, doch bei genauem Hinsehen gibt es viele liebevolle Details zu entdecken. Als ein spezielles Souvenir und zur Moonspiration kann ich jederzeit Rosas Lied „Rooted“ anhören.

Moon and Mati have developed a wonderful retreat. I felt a warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere straight away. The yoga lessons are varied and taught to a high standard. The workshops were fun and dived deeper into our minds. Sometimes insights caused emotions to surface. For anyone who this happened to you knew you were in a safe space to let it out. Moon and Mati were very supportive and caring.

I loved the acro yoga on the beach. So much fun! I was surprised at what my body could do. Which is credit to the teachers taking the session.

The food was delicious with lots of it. The outdoor dining area is set up to look across at the hills. Just beautiful.

It was a full rustic, close to nature sensory experience. From singing mantras with moon playing guitar to sounds of chickens and kittens who live onsite.

I loved my little Tipi and the outdoor glamping bathroom facilities. I had air conditioning and a deck chair inside the tipi with a comfortable mattress. They thought everything through very well.

There is well structured yet flexible retreat programme where you can opt in or out as much as you want to. You can take a rest if you need it by the pool or a siesta. O and Moon gives acupressure point head massage during savasana which is amazing 💕

I feel relaxed and recharged from going on the retreat.

I want to say huge thank you for an amazing week to Moon and Mati and all the guys who were helping. This retreat exceeded all my expectations over and above. Every day was like a treat starting with mediation, then yoga class tailored to your ability and needs, free time, holistic workshops and finishing by some beautiful relaxing unwinding yoga session. There was several highlight to this retreat-amazing yoga classes from Moon, magical singing by Rosa, gluten free home bake bread and all food lovingly prepared by Mati and guys who were helping him, every workshop was like a treat. The whole retreat was well thought, well organized and with a lot of kindness, open hearts and personal touch bring this experience to another level. I left this retreat feeling more connect to my self, amazed what my body can do under skillful guidance and support from Moon and Mati, well rested and with warm feeling in my heart:). Thank you guys and hopefully will see you soon xx

Mir gefiel alles :). Angefangen mit den Meditationen an Morgen über das besondere und auf individuelle Bedürfnisse abgestimmte Yoga, wie auch das liebevoll zubereitete Essen 🥰. Die Workshops waren ebenfalls eine große Bereicherung.

Was ich dir sagen kann, du wirst das Retreat als neuer Mensch verlassen. Du wirst vielleicht zum allerersten mal in deinem Leben eine tiefe Verbindung und Liebe zu dir selbst, zum Göttlichen/Universum und zu deinen Mitmenschen spüren und genau dies ausstrahlen und Gutes in dein Leben ziehen.

Ich konnte hier in einer Woche so viele Blockade & Kindheitstraumata hinter mich lassen wie ich es durch Therapie und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung nicht in 20 Jahren geschafft habe. Bis heute bin ich tiefenentspannt und vertraue darauf, dass alles zu meinem besten passiert. Dieser Glaube ist tief in meinem Herzen verankert.

Ich empfehle das Retreat allen Menschen, die irgendwie die Verbindung zu sich selbst verloren haben. Ob Pärchen, Menschen nach einer Trennung, berufliche Veränderung oder Frauen, die in ihre natürliche feminine Energie kommen und Männern, die in ihre maskuline Energie kommen möchten.

Ich habe zum ersten mal im Leben zu meinen natürlichen Rhythmus gefunden. Nach dem Retreat war ich in Altea und habe ein unglaubliches Zeichen von Gott/Universum erhalten🥹. Es hört sich ein wenig verrückt an aber genau so war es.

Ich empfehle über Instagram oder die Homepage von Moonspiration zu buchen.

Ganz lieben Dank an Moon, Mati & die Crew❤️.

La experiencia superó con creces mis expectativas. Era mi primer retiro de yoga y será difícil de superar. Perfecta organización de los tiempos, de forma que en un mismo día era posible experimentar las sesiones de yoga, las sesiones holísticas, disfrutar de tiempo de relax en el entorno natural y la piscina y disfrutar de los platos deliciosos preparados por Mati y el equipo.

Tiempo para reconectar y desconectar. Trabajamos varios tipos de yoga y al ser grupo reducido todas las sesiones resultaban muy personalizadas. Además, gracias a los conocimientos de Moon, Mati y el resto del equipo pude experimentar otros workshops y actividades interesantes como kundalini activation, human design, masajes energéticos, coaching, mantras, entre otros.

El aura de Moon me envolvió desde el primer momento de llegar, ella es hogar, seguridad, paz. Mati es auto-exploración, proveedor, y el encargado de que una alimentación 10 nos acompañase en este viaje. Son el combo perfecto para alguien que, como en mi caso, busque combinar el yoga con la experiencia holística. La mejor experiencia de desarrollo personal que he tenido el placer de vivir hasta hoy.

De kwaliteit van de diverse sessies en workshops was zeer goed. betrokkenheid, kleinschalig, diepgang en afwisseling.

The retreat was magical. From the first moment, I felt at home. The surroundings are beautiful and filled with butterflies. There is this calming silence and peace to it, with a lovely summer breeze. Moon & Matti were welcoming, with hearts full of love and connection. The yoga classes were adapted to the energy of the group, which made each class tune in perfectly with the needs of the group. From moment 1, you enter this process, and everything seems to naturally fit and flow from one thing to another. Especially the workshops were eye-opening. I can really recommend this workshop to everyone who wants to connect with him/herself and others on a deeper level. As a bonus, the food is amazing too ;)

The retreat at Moonspiration was my first retreat experience and it was perfect.

Moon & Mati are really super nice and exceptional hosts. They find the right amount of "you-feel-cared-for" and it's not intrusive. From the first meeting it was super warm.

My personal highlights of the week were the three workshops, the beach day, a kundalini workshop we did with Moon and the experience of how all the elements of the week fit together perfectly and how they kicked off a great journey for me. It was super exciting to experience what you can "move" with breathing, relaxation and music.

About the yoga. Moon was very responsive to our group and always asked us what we wanted. By practicing the different yoga styles, it was very varied. Moon's guidance was great. Her calm and very relaxed voice made it a super experience every day. She also showed us many tips on how to make asanas easier.

The meditation with Mati was also a great experience. Personally, I have little experience with meditaiton and in the beginning it was very difficult for me to focus on the here and now, but it got better every day and was perfect as a start to the day.

The food was more then excellent and there was a lot of it. I have been able to discover many new things and I have taken away some inspiration and still manage to eat almost vegetarian after nearly four weeks.

After the seven days I felt like a new person and didn't want to leave. I can wholeheartedly recommend the retreat. Thanks Moon & Mati

This is a great experience for every mom who wants to slow down and disconnect from her busy life in the city.

I had 7 days full of relaxation, yoga, meditation, joy, music and play.

1. Yoga

The yoga classes were adapted to my level: beginner. I have learnt how to breathe and do the exercises correctly to avoid injury.

2. Meditation 🧘‍♂️ 🧘‍♀️

Every morning we meditated. At first, I could not calm my mind and I thought that meditation is not for me. But each day I made a little progress and eventually really liked it. I will also continue with meditation at home.

3. Food

I really enjoyed the homemade food. I will try to make some of the recipes also for my family.

Its hard to pin point one thing because the whole experience was life changing, healing, so much fun and freedom and it is a safe space to express let go and heal deeply at the same time activating my inner child to play and have fun with no judgement. I did especially love the healing workshops, if there was opportunity to do more I would have done them too because they were so great, the acro yoga & slack lining on the beach was so much fun and pushed me out of my comfort zone to try something new and I’m so glad I did it was fab, Moons yoga classes were dynamic and fun, I really looked forward to them and I finally learnt the correct way to hold certain poses I’ve never done before she is an amazing teacher & of course the Kirtan singing under the moon was magical. I have left feeling a new sense of self and freedom to express, love and receive it truly was a sensational week and I did not want to leave! Also the goats are the cutest we had a lot of fun with them. Moon is a truly beautiful soul who holds space for you to truly heal she has a wonderful, nurturing, calm energy and Mati is so much fun he was always making us smile with his charismatic energy and the morning meditations he holds are so calming I really enjoyed them and the chance to connect with myself on a deeper level - also the food Mati cooks is amazing! I tried things I’ve never tasted before and there was so much love put into it and biiig portions! it was the best experience.

Your hosts, Moon and Mati went above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. The location was breathtaking - perfect for relaxing and reconnection. The atmosphere was relaxed, playful, and comforting. Yoga and the associated workshops were thoughtful, creative, educational, and fun! Lastly, the food was outstanding. We had fresh baked bread daily, from an outdoor firewood oven that was delectable. Incredible flavors at every meal with multiple dishes and an excess of food for everyone - no one goes hungry 😋. Fresh fruits, breads, salsas, curries, smoothies, espresso - all at an outdoor dining area with spectacular views. I would recommend Moonspirations to all my friends and family (in fact, I already have 🙂). Moon and Mati, thank you for sharing your space and providing a wonderful, life changing experience.

Moon and Mati, Flor and Mariana are so welcoming, kind, loving, interesting, cool, wise, special and spiritual people! I can just recommend them, if you would like an adventure for a lifetime! You can practice hatha, ashtanga and yin yoga, can learn, practice how to meditate and also can enjoy the life a life can give you in a spanish city by the coast. 😊 Their retreat is a place, where you spend a week in the nature, you get so much closer to your inner self, and discover new perspectives life can give, and you can give to your life! And I have to mention the foods! Mati is one of the best vegetarian, vegan chef ever! The foods are so nutricious, fresh, delicious, his breads are fantastic! It is quite perfect start for a day to eat fresh, warm brad, with smoothie so much more nutritious dishes! I just can recommend them! 🙂

The retreat location is beautiful. The yoga shala, the dinner table area, the campfire (kirtan) area, it pieces perfectly together, but separately just as amazing for each activity. Moon, Mati and Lieke are a powerteam. Moon and Lieke's yoga classes are top quality. Mati's food is delicious, nourishing and made with so much love. All three people are super inspiring, so in touch with themselves and intuitive in feeling what each guest needs. I felt very safe to make this retreat my own and do whatever I felt I needed. I can strongly recommend this retreat for every yoga lover that wants to deepen a bit of spiritual practice as well.

Moon and Mati are such special and powerful retreat leaders. Mati is just magical, exuding such love, caring and wisdom. Moon is beyond amazing, as a yoga teacher, advisor and friend. The spiritual and emotional connection I felt with them was incredible. The people they surround themselves with, Laura, Mariana, Tommy, Flor - all special people who exude positivity and love. The food was so delicious - I couldn't believe it was mostly vegan. I was never disappointed in the cuisine. The new, shaded yoga shala was huge, and the soothing desert noises and beautiful view truly made each yoga class inspiring. If you are looking for a safe place to find yourself again, this is it! Do it!
