Welcome

Join Rachel for an exclusive five-night retreat in a traditional Ibizan farmhouse, tucked away in complete privacy behind lush gardens a sacred playground for self-expression, indulgence, and shaking off the dust.

This is an invitation to loosen your grip and remember how to dance with life again. Trust over control. Softness over striving. Life's invitation to play. Come together with soul sisters in a space of sun, sensuality, and play, to move, feel, and open your heart. Wake to movement that grounds you before the day begins, drift into restorative pauses, and let your evenings unravel into dance and sacred sunsets. Feast on mindfully curated dining, wander gardens of fig, banana, and bougainvillea, and fall into the rhythm of an island long known for freedom, magic, and transformation.

THE LEELA

Like a garden, the heart requires regular tending and nurturing to blossom fully. In the realm of Yoga, the heart, particularly the light that dwells within it, becomes a sanctuary we aspire to enter, where the wisdom of the heart can be awakened and embraced. Unlike the mind, which relies on information to understand, the heart reveals itself through surrender, trust, and joy. The heart's power can realign us with our deepest desires, enabling us to rediscover our authenticity and true selves. The heart is a transformative space where we can turn poison into nectar and open a gateway to perceive the world through the lens of love and tenderness. 

 

This immersion invites women to gather and embark on a graceful journey of inner softening, leading to a path abundant with joy and wisdom.

When we allow ourselves the chance to retreat from our daily grind and immerse in nature, community, contemplation and relaxation, we return to a restful and more true state of being, reconnecting with the heart's wisdom and wholeness. 

ON THIS 5-NIGHT IMMERSION, WE WILL SPEND OUR DAYS

THE ART OF PLAY 

We will explore the dance of life. Through movement, dance, self-enquiry, and daily ritual, we'll awaken the senses and open up to the flow of creativity, sensuality, and joy.

Through embodied practice, playful ceremony, and simple daily rhythm, we'll shake off the dust of old habits and remember what it feels like to be fully present in our bodies, in our senses, in the dance of life itself.

ISLAND OF THE SENSES

 

 Ibiza is an island long known as a place of freedom, magic, and transformation. . Frolic in the sea, relax by the pool, dance the night away. Allow the Mediterranean salt air reawaken your senses reconnecting you with pleasure, play, and your own natural rhythm. Through twice days group practices, and delicious food, we'll awaken the senses and discover both inner and outer spaciousness amidst the island's wild, sun-soaked beauty

ABOUT THE VENUE

Our finca — a traditional Ibicenco farmhouse  has been meticulously rebuilt while keeping its authentic soul: exposed beams, stone walls, terracotta floors, and organic linens throughout. You'll wander through lush Ibizan and tropical gardens, fig and banana trees, bamboo and bougainvillea. Tucked away in complete privacy, you're still just minutes on foot from Santa Eulària's white-sand beach, marina, fine dining, cafés and shops — with the Punta Arabí and Las Dalias hippy markets a short drive away.

It holds a special place in the hearts of many, with its vibrant culture, spiritual heritage, lush landscapes and kind people. Bali's expansive beauty has a unique way of opening the heart and feeding the spirit, leaving a long-lasting imprint on all who venture into Her embrace.

During the immersion, ample space will be provided for rest and rejuvenation. Picture yourself lounging by the pool, basking in the warm sun, with a book in hand or taking a Shakti walk through nature, or receiving bodywork. There will be moments for quiet reflection, where you can unwind and replenish amidst the gorgeous surroundings. 

"Imagine a woman who embodies the strength of a warrior, the grace of a goddess, and the wisdom of a sage. A woman who embraces her journey with courage, authenticity, and self-love. Who shines with a light that illuminates the path for others to follow. Imagine yourself as this woman, for she resides within you, ready to empower and inspire."

YOUR GUIDE

Rachel Nokes


I love to gather.. I’m a connector. I love nothing more than hosting folks to co-create the divine mood. I love to explore ways to express love and sweet union, with the earth and with each other which reminds us that we are all family, we are one. I believe we all hold the key to freedom within our system, my commitment to myself and to you is to play and dance ourselves there through breath centric movement, mantra and ritual. I’m devoted to exploring the yogic tradition and testing out what the ancients have lovingly shared with us all. I'm humbled by the generosity of my teachers who have led the way, it’s to them I bow in reverence. I’m happiest when I'm surrounded by friends, chanting sacred sounds, walking barefoot, feeling salt in my hair and sand between my toes. In holding space I'll guide you to the heart of yourself. It's there the inner teacher resides, it’s through this communion deep within yourself that the freedom resides. I cannot wait to gather with you, my heart aches in the knowing of what will unfold given the dream team who will be holding you.. Hand picked for their devotion and gifts, we look forward to greeting you with arms wide open.

"We live amidst this constant, unceasing, tidal movement, so it's important to be able to return to, and experience, a rested centre that is able to hold a constellation of qualities all around us, no matter where we are, no matter what might try to break in on our solitude and peace, or what difficult or chaotic threshold we might find ourselves on. We might also, strangely, find ourselves on an unsettling threshold of joy and happiness and wonder how we can make a sure foundation for that happiness; how to continue experiencing it in a more restful way and thus take it a step deeper by understanding its source."

words of testimony

“The retreat to Bali with Rachel has touched me in such a deep way, it’s been a beautiful time to just be, to feel, process and heal. It has been an opportunity for me to connect more deeply with myself without life's usual distractions. The practices Rachel offered were life-changing, and the location is paradise.”

 

Michelle

"I attended a retreat hosted by Ruth on Saturday, and it was absolutely magical! The entire experience felt like stepping into a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. Ruth's nurturing presence created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable exploring and connecting with my inner self. The atmosphere was serene, and every detail of the retreat was thoughtfully curated to enhance relaxation and rejuvenation. From the calming ambiance to the insightful teachings, every moment was truly transformative. I left feeling refreshed, nourished, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful retreat. Thank you, Ruth, for your dedication and passion in creating such a beautiful experience. I can't wait to attend another event by My Yoga Space!"
