Through somatic yoga practices, powerful ritual, and guided embodiment, you will rediscover your natural presence, your raw energy, and the parts of yourself that have been waiting patiently beneath masks, expectations, and conditioning. This retreat is not about becoming “better.” It is about coming home to yourself, whole, radiant, and fully alive.

Program
You will be guided through a 6-day program that is deeply nourishing, transformational and joyful.
Somatic yoga practice
Each morning starts with a somatic practice. Through combining gentle breath work with Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, you connect to your body, open the fascia, and balance your nervous system.
Transformative workshops
In the afternoon workshops, you dive deeper into yourself. You will be guided through practices and rituals to free yourself from things you thought you were, to become more of who you really are. This requires some vulnerability and curiosity. The workshops include: a journey through the female archetypes, embodiment practices, emotional release tools, guided meditations, intuitive writing, voice freeing practices, sound baths, and more.
True connection
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be held in a circle of women - a space of trust, openness, and authenticity. Here, you meet each other beyond roles and expectations. You share stories, laughter, tears, and silence. You witness one another in your strength and vulnerability, and in doing so, you remember the deeper dimensions of yourself and that you are not alone on this journey.
This retreat is for you if you:
- You feel you are giving a lot, and nourish yourself too little
- You spend too much time in your head, analysing instead of feeling
- Want to become aware of limiting beliefs and insecurity
- You know you have more potential than you are currently living
- You long for aliveness
After this retreat, you will notice
- More energy without changing your schedule
- Clearer yeses and no’s without explanation
- Emotions that move instead of linger
- Desire that returns without being forced
- A sense of inhabiting your life again
Included excursions
This is a retreat in a transformative and closely held space. Ellen will take you on as part of one of the workshops on a walk into the natural park.
Instructors
Ellen Paalman
My journey into movement and body awareness started at a young age through dance. My transition into yoga came naturally, as I sought a deeper connection between movement, breath, and inner balance. In 2011 I did my first Teacher Training and began a new chapter in my life - choosing to follow my passion to support people on their journey back to themselves. In my classes, I weave together classic yoga principles, body awareness practices, breathwork and free movement. My sequences are designed to regulate the nervous system. My teaching style is gentle yet grounding meeting you where you are.
Retreat location
Casa Surrender is a magical finca located near the small white village of Competa, on the edge of Parque Natural de Almijara. It's an oasis of rest supporting you to reconnect to yourself and nature. It's about 45 minutes east of Malaga.
