YOUR INSTRUCTORS

JACKIE CASAL MAHROU

Jackie believes that yoga can awaken us to the vast capacity of our hearts, minds, and spirits so that we can live wholehearted and fulfilling lives. Through her flowing sequences and heart centered intention she creates an environment for each student to embody clarity, strength, and balance. Jackie’s intention is to help students discover their own personal alignment (both mental and physical) so they can experience the power, freedom, and presence that yoga offers.

Since Jackie began teaching yoga 15 years ago she has completed numerous trainings including power, yin, and hatha yoga. She continues to study and learn so she can keep growing as a teacher and help her students better understand the vastness of yoga.

KEITH ALLEN

For Keith, yoga is about connecting deeper to who we truly are and using the practice to enjoy our lives more. His classes balance a meditative focus with safe alignment. Breath, presence, and leaving space to let the practice feel good in our bodies, is a priority for Keith. He has studied extensively from different teachers, lineages, and styles around the world, and remains a passionate and dedicated student of yoga and meditation. He regularly leads workshops and teacher trainings and is a co-author of The Yoga Fix book, which is a resource of healthy movement patterns. In addition to yoga, Keith is passionate about traveling the world, producing videos, skiing, making art, and enjoying music.

HEAVEN AWAITS!

I'M GOING TO SPAIN!

THIS ALL SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
hOW DO I SECURE MY SPOT?

Our villa is set in a semi-rural location offering a haven of peace and solitude, yet it’s only a 12-minute drive to the coastal town of Sitges and 10 minutes to Vilanova i la Geltru, both of which have beautiful sandy beaches and an abundance of restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy. The cosmopolitan city of Barcelona is just 30 minutes by train.

WHERE YOU'LL BE STAYING

Penedes wine region is framed by the coastal hills of the Serra del Garraf and the higher inland mountains which skirt the Catalan Central Depression.

Long considered one of the country's best wine-producing regions after the Rioja, it is also one of the most ancient viticultural areas in Europe. Perhaps better-known for its Cava production, a sparkling wine which has had its own Denominació d'Origen since 1986, white grape varieties predominate, although the region also produces some highly regarded, oak-aged reds.
