Malaga, Spain Historic District

With its sun-soaked beaches, historic architecture, and thriving arts scene, Malaga offers a perfect Mediterranean escape. Meanwhile, Andalusia, the region that cradles Malaga, captivates travelers with its fiery flamenco rhythms, mouthwatering cuisine, and a tapestry of cultural influences that tell the story of Spain’s diverse heritage.

An Unforgettable Yoga Experience with Laura Jane Mellencamp

Using the practice of meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities in the moment create lasting friendships and a gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever.

Rave Reviews: What Participants Are Saying About Laura Jane's Yoga Retreats

Retreat Testimonials

I am so excited to attend my third retreat with Laura Jane and this amazing community of yogis. There is a reason so many of us keep returning year after year. Beyond the incredible resort we are staying at (and "incredible" doesn't do it justice), Laura Jane creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which to explore your yoga practice regardless of where you are in your life. The twice-daily practices and daily sutra study, combined with the beauty of the Baja peninsula and the phenomenal food, make this a retreat everyone should experience!

— BOBBY PARKHILL

My experience at Laura Jane’s retreats is always unique. Travel changes people no matter what the destination. Yoga changes people, too. When combined, you have a transformation that changes the heart. Everything you see, taste, and experience is better, and I return home with my “cup full.” The friendships I made on retreat will last a lifetime; we shared and were there for one another. I loved every minute and will never forget the beautiful yoga room by the Aegean Sea. It was an amazing trip made even more special by one of the best mentors and teachers in the Chicago area. Ευχαριστούμε, Thank You!”

— CATHY CHRISTOFF

Everything was so natural, like windows meant to overlook the snow-covered mountains, but cozy and warm in our cabins and lodge. Ideally located for a retreat with meals were created by a delightful chef. Laura Jane led us with just the amount of yoga and activity to keep it still a relaxing retreat.

— MARLA

A trip to Greece had been on my “bucket list” for many years. The experience with Laura Jane in Amorgos was beautiful and peaceful, and it exceeded my expectations about visiting Greece! We practiced well-thought-out yoga classes twice a day and still had plenty of time for outings on the island or time to relax by the pool. The group was a true sangha, a community of friendly, open people. Old friends reconnected, and each yogi made new friends. I feel confident about traveling with Laura Jane!

— KAY GILMORE

I try never to miss Laura Jane's wonderful yoga retreats! They are the one time of the year that is just about me. I don't have to care for anyone or anything other than myself. The combination of yoga, healthy food, journaling, quiet time, a wonderful guide, and amazing friends is just what I need to regenerate for the year ahead. Not to mention that Prana Delmar is a real gem!

— KANDICE HENNING

The Icelandic Yoga Retreat was magical. The lodgings were cozy and clean, the yoga room was beautiful (especially at night!), amenities were perfect (sauna, hot tub under the stars, expert masseuse), and we were treated to three expertly and lovingly prepared meals a day by our dedicated chef. The twice-daily yoga practice was accessible to all levels, and Laura Jane made a point of teaching the whole of yoga, not just the physical practice. We had a wonderful group of human beings, and it was a pleasure spending time with each one.
