Release what no longer serves you & gain awareness of what your
body, mind and soul needs

A retreat with Johanna Asterdal
& Linda Karlsson

Nestled among almond trees and citrus groves on Spain’s sun-kissed Costa Blanca, Finca Los Almendros offers the perfect backdrop to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. Here, just minutes away from the turquoise waters of Moraira, you’ll find space to let go of what no longer serves you — the tension, the racing thoughts, the constant doing — and open up to what you truly long for.

Through gentle body awareness, kinesio-therapeutic movement, and restorative yoga, we’ll explore the deep connection between body, mind, and emotions. You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s signals, release built-up stress and pain, and invite in new physical energy and inner clarity. Each session is designed to bring you back to yourself — grounded, calm, and fully present.

You’ll return home not only refreshed but renewed: your body lighter, your mind quiter, your heart more open. With a clearer sense of direction and a deeper connection to yourself, you’ll step back into everyday life with newfound ease, energy, and confidence — ready for what’s next.

Where you’ll be staying

The finca features four beautifully appointed bedrooms with comfortable double beds. Three of the rooms are spacious, while one is slightly smaller but still cozy and bright — perfect for unwinding after a day of movement and reflection.

  • Two of the bedrooms share access to one bathroom, while the third bedroom has its own private bathroom. The fourth bedroom on the ground floor also has direct access to the pool and garden, along with a nearby bathroom.

  • One bedroom features a French balcony, two open up to a large shared terrace with views over the pool and surrounding landscape, and the last has direct access to the pool and garden area.

  • Bed linens, towels, bathrobes and sheets are provided — your stay starts with ease and comfort from the first moment.

  • Each bedroom is designed so that you can retreat into calm when you wish — sitting outside on your terrace with a still-mind, or slipping into your room quietly.

Hightlights Worth Noticing

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Terraces and large windows connect the rooms to the gardens, the almond trees, and the Mediterranean light. This connection supports the embodied work you’ll be doing: body-mind awareness, movement, rest.

  • Comfort with a Natural Feel: The setting doesn’t feel like a hotel — it feels like a restorative home away from home, in nature. Simple, elegant, calm.

  • I'm blown away by your classes and meditations. Wow. After your heart-opening yin I landed back into my heart and into myself again. I've come into such deep relaxation. Thank you.

    Elin

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you for the way you lead yoga. And thank you for being you — it's given me a signal that it's okay to be me. I'm moved as I write this. It might seem small, but to me it's huge — so thank you. This will stay with me. This is not the last time I'll practice yoga with you.

    - Karin

  • You are absolutely magical. There are no words for how grateful I am for everything that is you.

    - Kajsa

  • Thank you wonderful Johanna. I've landed and felt so held in your space this weekend. It's been a privilige to experience your bubbly, joyful energy, but also to rest in the calm that you carry within you. So thankful that I came here.

    - Lovisa

Are you ready to pause, breathe and reconnect with yourself?

This retreat is your invitation to release what no longer serves you — the stress, the constant doing, the invisible load — and to renew your energy and clarity in one of the most peaceful corners of Spain.

For seven days, we’ll slow down together. You’ll move your body through mindful yoga, calm your mind with breathing and meditation, and nourish yourself with vibrant, lovingly prepared meals. Our goal is to help you find the balance betwen stillness and vitality — the space where calm doesn’t mean passive, and energy doesn’t mean rushed.

Through gentle guidance, body awareness practices, and honest conversations, you’ll begin to hear what your body, mind, and heart truly need.

You’ll learn to:

  • Restore your nervous system and feel grounded in your own rhytm

  • Reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom

  • Build small daily rituals that bring calm long after you return home

You’ll know if this is calling you — that quiet yes inside.

Trust it. Your reset begins here 🤍

The journey doesn’t end when the retreat does…

Our wish is that what you experience here — the stillness, the clarity, the deep exhale — continues long after you return home. That you don’t just feel recharged for a week, but are reminded of how good it feels to live at your own pace.

Who will take care of you?

Johanna Asterdal | Retreat Facilitator, Habit Coach, Yoga and Meditation Teacher & Podcast Host

For more than a decade, I’ve been guiding women to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves — first through yoga and meditation, and later through my signature coaching method, The Slow Shift.

After hosting deeply transformative retreats in Sweden, I felt called to bring this work abroad — to create a space where warmth, presence, and nature come together to restore balance from the inside out.

Because transformation doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from slowing down enough to listen.

Linda Karlsson | Retreat Facilitator, Kinesiologist, Massage Therapist
& Wellness Practitioner

With a holistic approach to health and performance, I help you reconnect with your body’s natural balance.

My work focuses on optimizing both your physical wellbeing and mental clarity — by seeing and supporting the whole you, body and mind in harmony.

There are so many reasons to say yes to this experience

Imagine waking up inspired, not exhausted. Feeling calm, clear, and deeply rested — not just during the retreat week, but in your everyday life. Picture yourself moving, breathing and simply being in the Mediterranean sunshine, surrounded by stillness, laughter, and the gentle rhytm of the sea. This is your time to exhale, to remember who you are beneath all the doing, and to return home lighter, softer, and more you.
