Spain Retreat Oct 17-24, 2021
Breath, Movement, Balance – A Fall Retreat to Spain with Julie Dohrman and Peter Goodman.
October 17, 2021 – October 24, 2021
Join Julie and Peter for a wondrous week of yoga, rejuvenation, and adventure at Molino del Rey, Malaga, Spain!
In the spectacular Andalucian mountains, located in a gorgeous green valley flanked by orange groves, you’ll find Molino del Rey. A one of a kind retreat venue, Molino del Rey has well earned its reputation as the best retreat center in Spain, and one of the best in the world. It features a beautiful and bright, fully equipped yoga shala for our 2 daily yoga practices, a partially encaved salt water pool, and gorgeous, comfortable, and beautifully appointed rooms.
The center has plenty of hideaway spots with hammocks and lounge areas to rest and reconnect with yourself, plus a collection of incredible caves throughout the property, ideal for meditation. Expect fantastic and highly acclaimed food, local wine, and all of your needs cared for on this week long rejuvenating retreat!
The week will highlight yoga as a life practice to create and sustain balance. The rhythm of twice daily practice, morning silence, meditation and ample rest will leave you feeling clear and calm. Morning practice will be more upbeat and active, with evening practice offering a cool and slower pace.
Julie and Peter are long time friends on the path of yoga and will share teaching each day, deeply immersing you in intelligent, thoughtful and mindful yoga practices.
Available are massage, spa treatments, sauna, wine tasting, and local trips to nearby cities. There’s plenty to explore in the area, but you may not want to go anywhere and instead, relish in the simplistic living at Molino del Rey!

MEET YOUR TEACHERS:
MITCHEL
I started yoga when I was 18, at a time when yoga was not popular, especially for eighteen-year-old boys. After finishing my first shavasana, and my puddle of sweat finally absorbed, I felt like I had just found home. Yoga was the first thing that made sense in my life. I wasted no time. I got my first book on yoga and memorized every pose and Sanskrit names and even their meanings. I took my first teacher training and started teaching at 19. I went on to mentor with some of the most preeminent American yoga pioneers and Indian teachers, as well as, studying SouthAsian religions and Sanskrit at the University of Rochester. I began teaching International workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings in 2001. Teaching yoga has been my only “job” as an adult. My entire adult life has been shaped by yoga: the practice, the community, the conversations, and the business. I have owned and created yoga studios, a yoga magazine, a yoga video production company, and an online corporate wellness program. Through these two plus decades, I have never stopped learning. My many mistakes have been my greatest teachers. My family, wife, and kids teach me about yoga as the relationship with the world. I am beyond grateful for my journey and the people.

Living in Harmony – Oct 9-16, 2022
Explore living into the Five Elements with Julie Dohrman and Peter Goodman
October 9th – 16th, 2022
Join Julie and Peter on the enchantingly beautiful Grecian island of Paros for a 7 day all-levels yoga, meditation, and fully immersive experience!
October in Greece is magical.
Come swim in the crystal blue Sea with us, rebalance your body-mind, and strengthen your yoga practice as we dive into the Mahabhutas.
Yoga philosophy offers an understanding that our human existence is a microcosm of the natural world we live in, and that the basic set of five elements in nature (the Mahabhutas in Sanskrit) are mirrored in our bodies as well. Everything in nature is made up of these Five Elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Learning to recognize how these elements embody in us can lead to transformative experiences, and a steadiness to meet any situation in life.
Julie and Peter will offer daily yoga practices that weave these teachings, create harmony and balance in the body, and inspire fresh understanding of the yogic path of life.
Our home for the week will be Okreblue Seaside Eco Retreat center, a hip and spiritually charged destination located on the relatively untouched seaside of Santa Maria, the peninsula side of Paros Island, Greece. With a laid-back vibe, well appointed rooms, delicious food, and unique lounge spots around the property, plus being cradled by the crystal clear Aegaen Sea, the rawness of nature here are the perfect conditions for our retreat!
YOUR STAY
Lodging is simple and rustic, open and naturally lit, seaside facing, and inspired by the elements and the muses of Greek Mythology. We’ll be a stone’s throw away from Felizi beach and the velvety blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Plenty of breathtaking views from everywhere! All rooms are en-suite.
THE FOOD
Daily light breakfast, brunch, and dinner is included with the retreat. You will be nourished by the food grown in Okreblue’s own organic gardens or from local farmers, with daily farm-to-table vegetarian meals. Vegan, gluten-free, wheat free, dairy free diets and other special diets can be accommodated upon request. Apart from included meals, the cafe is open daily and serves light meals and drinks. Tea as well as drinking filtered water is available all day.
On retreat you’ll experience:
- 2 intelligently crafted, alignment based yoga classes daily with Peter and Julie, focusing on the Five Elements
- Practices in Okreblue’s light-filled, spacious and fully equipped studio
- Organic, locally harvested and chef-prepared wholesome meals
- Silent mornings for personal practice, reflection or meditation
- Bodywork/massage services are available
- Plenty of free time! Swim in the turquoise sea, visit ancient towns and ruins, or simply relax!
Join us to reboot your practice and synchronize your body-mind with the rhythms of nature.
