Yoga retreat in Costa Blanca | El Botanico de Sagra | 15-18 October 2026

YOGA & AYURVEDA & MEDITATION: autumn strengthening for women

We invite you to a special meeting with yourself, under the tender wings of two sisters, yoga and Ayurveda, which complement one another and support us in drawing out and caring for our beauty and health.

Workshop programme:

• a daily women's yoga practice tailored to the individual needs of the participants

• an Ayurvedic talk: an introduction to the foundations of Ayurvedic knowledge, explaining the concepts that describe the constitutional types (the doshas) and help us recognise the needs of each (each of us is a unique combination of the three doshas: vata, pitta and kapha)

• an Ayurvedic talk: Ayurvedic recommendations for women for autumn and winter

• an Ayurvedic talk: the Ayurvedic daily rhythm, dinacharya, that supports the health of every constitution

• learning Ayurvedic self-massage and other self-massage techniques

• Ayurvedic rituals and routines for health and beauty

• aromatherapy: knowledge of the oils that support our femininity

• daily mindfulness meditations focused on building self-trust, empathy and kindness towards ourselves

• a fire ceremony

• surprises

  
  

During the retreat you will reconnect with your femininity anew and more consciously, come to understand your own unique needs better, and learn to meet them, drawing on the wisdom of yoga, Ayurveda and mindful attention to yourself.

You will return restored, nourished with knowledge and strengthened by practice, inspired and equipped with tools that will help you care for yourself in simple ways every day.

LEADING THE RETREAT:

Joanna Malinowska, a certified Iyengar yoga teacher with over 13 years of experience. In 2025 I completed the Mindfulness Teacher Training run by the Polish Mindfulness Institute, which qualifies me to lead certified MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) courses.

I regularly organise development workshops in Spain on the Costa Blanca and in Tenerife, in Portugal, and for the first time this year, in November, in Sri Lanka. By training I am a Polish philologist, a graduate of Polish Philology at the University of Warsaw, and I worked for many years as an editor and proofreader. I am passionate about a healthy lifestyle and I love nature, where I restore and inspire myself. I have lived on the Costa Blanca for over 7 years, pursuing my passions. On a personal note, I am the mother of a now-grown daughter and I am living through the menopausal transition myself. The challenges women face during this time are close to my heart, and I gladly share my knowledge and my own experience of it.

Karolina Dubrowska-Kuniej, a doctor and family medicine specialist who combines conventional medicine with Ayurveda in her work. She is a graduate of Part I of the School of Ayurveda and of the Ayurvedic psychology course at Agni Ajurweda. She believes in the power of preventive health care and in the strength of changing lifestyle habits. In her private life she is a lover of books, especially on personal growth. A nature lover, she adores long walks along the seashore and roaming mountain trails. She practises yoga. Travel is another of her passions, and the most important journey she makes is the one from the head to the heart.

Honorata Wiktorko, a cosmetologist and certified Ayurvedic consultant and therapist (Nirmala, Institute of Yoga and Ayurveda). She is a certified therapist in Japanese Kobido facial massage, Gua Sha, Chinese facial cupping, facial kinesio taping and Ayurvedic massage.
