I’m a yoga teacher and fitness instructor with a diploma in graphic design & events management. I've been practicing yoga for almost 22-years and arranging events for over a decade. I'm keen to share my wealth of experience with guests, as I love to create amazing experiences and events which inspire, lift us up and help us grow as humans. I have been practicing many styles of Yoga over the years, which has always complimented my sports. (Astanga, Bikram, Hatha, Vinyasa & more).

Elena Orth
Elena is a yoga teacher, an architect, a shiatsu practitioner, a guide, an observer, and an explorer. She is an expert, a newbie, and a forever student. In her mind, the beauty of the world lies in fusion. An asana is not just a body posture but a structure of foundation and pushes and pulls forces. A yoga class is not just a set of movements but a journey through flesh, bone, thought and heart. Meditation is not a closed box, but a never ending dialogue between the architecture of your inner world and the resonance reflected from the surfaces of your surroundings.
Retreat location
Rustic Retreats is nestled in the Sierra Espuña Mountains, just four kilometers from the town of Totana in Murcia, Southern Spain. The secluded mountain sanctuary offers zero light pollution and wide open skies, yet it’s still easy to reach by plane, train, or bus.
From here you can enjoy hiking trails, historic villages, and Mediterranean beaches within reach, while returning each day to the peace and quiet of the off‑grid eco yoga center.
