Meet the Team
-
Michaela - Yoga teacher
Initially yoga was a way to take care of her body as an athlete. As she noticed the positive effect it had on her body and mind, she became more curious about the what, why and how. This led her to take a 200 hour yoga teacher training course at the Yoga Academy. In 2023 she completed 500 hours with Yoga Medicine to become a Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist.

“Recently I joined a wonderful retreat in the beautiful hills of Casares . Both the yoga teacher and Spanish teacher did an amazing job. In a fun and relaxed way the classes were given . There was also a professional cook , who prepared delicious healthy meals… All this combined with a great group of people , made the retreat very special.”

“This was my first experience and honestly speaking I have fully enjoyed it . The place, the activities between Yoga, hiking, Spanish Lessons and cooking . As a beginner, Yoga was amazing , cooking was superb and Spanish interacting activities were very well done without feeling the difference in language levels between the different participants . All in a very cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Probably too much food in two days. Very highly recommended.”
