Spain Retreat with Leoni & Loren

Join Leoni & Loren for a week of adventure and exploration on Spain's Costa Brava, where the Mediterranean meets 2,500 years of history. Based on a beachfront European hotel, built beside ancient Greco-Roman ruins — this retreat blends daily Yoga and Pilates with Leoni & Loren, paddle-boarding and cycling through the Empordà countryside, and cultural days in medieval Girona, coastal Cadaqués and exploring local museums. All while enjoying Spanish style meals, wine and a cuisine worth traveling for.

This retreat is for:

• Yoga & Pilates Practitioners of all levels — beginner to advanced

• Solo travelers, friends, couples and small groups

• Anyone craving movement, culture, exploration and sunrises/sunsets on the Costa Brava coastline

Our mission during the Costa Brava, Spain Retreat is to offer daily Yoga, Pilates, meditations and ceremonies to deepen your understanding of Self and leave you feeling empowered and connected to your divine strength & purpose!

Yoga Classes
We will gather on the Yoga shala twice a day to practice movement & meditation. We will offer a variety of styles; Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin tailored to all levels. The purpose is to come into union with your physical body, the vessel of your spirit and move energy freely with breath & movement, all while looking over the majestic, vast, ocean. 

Vinyasa sessions bring you back to the roots of yoga, to the heart of what this practice was always meant to be: a pathway home to yourself. Through intentional and thoughtfully crafted asana sequences, we move in a way that helps quiet the noise, release distraction, and clear space in both the mind and body. Yoga is an ancient practice of union, a return to your true nature.

Whether you arrive to ground, to grow, or simply to breathe, these sessions will meet you where you are and gently guide you back to yourself.

Pilates Classes
Our Pilates-inspired sessions are designed to build you from the inside out. We focus on full-body awareness, intentional mobility, and moving through your full range of motion with strength, control, and purpose.

You'll be guided through deep core activation and body-burning movements that reconnect you to yourself while strengthening and shaping your core and glutes. This is a full-body experience with an emphasis on powerful core work and glute-focused sequences that create real, functional strength. If you’re shaking, that’s exactly where you’re meant to be!

You’ll step out of each session feeling muscles you didn’t know you had, more connected to your body, and confident in the strength you’re building from the inside out.
