Young women yoga retreat – For a deeper connection to yourself and others
28 March – 1 April 2024
Come to nature
Step away from the rush of daily life and dive deeper into a connection with yourself and other young women in Spanish nature. This retreat invites you to spend your days deeply nourishing, resting and recharging yourself, while also having fun! We start our days with a nice long yoga session, followed by different workshops/activities such as yogic lifestyle/philosophy, ecstatic dance, sharing circle and more.
Young women
We created this retreat specifically for young women, because it is something we ourselves would have loved to participate in, but have never really come across. So upon doing our yoga teacher training, we decided to create it ourselves!
Our passion is to gather young women to recharge and to form a deeper connection with their inner self, while also connecting to other women on a similar path and with a shared interest. Our intention is to create a space where we explore different ways of creating this deeper connection – both through moments of silence & stillness and also through movement and playfulness. The aim is to make it a restful and nourishing experience while also making it engaging and fun!
Testimonials
We have asked previous participants to share their experience during the young woman yoga retreat!
“I spent these few days out of time, discovering a new world of kindness and sisterhood in a magnificent community. Charlotte, Cecilie and Roxane combine yoga sessions with a variety of activities to make this retreat an intense experience of emotions and discoveries”

Kausay community
The retreat will take place on the land of Kausay Community situated in a green valley in the Valencian Province of Spain. Together we live close to and in harmony with nature, and would love to share this experience with you. You will sleep in a traditional Mongolian yurt or a Bell tent, which you will share with other participants.
Kausay Community strives towards living in a sustainable way close to nature. It is off-grid making use of solar power and local water. We offer delicious freshly cooked vegetarian and mostly plant-based meals and can easily provide for vegans. Normally we would use veggies from Kausays own ecological garden as much as possible, however due to extreme weather the veggie gardens have suffered a lot of damage this year.
Who we are
We are two young women, who were brought together through Kausay Community by volunteering there in the summer of 2021. We shared beautiful experiences and got to know each other very well by traveling some months together in Central America and Europe. We’ve also held our first young woman yoga retreat together at Kausay in September 2022.
Either before or after staying at Kausay Community we both achieved our yoga teacher training at a Yoga Alliance certified school.
Cecilie
I’m a 25 years old young woman from Denmark.
I discovered yoga in 2018 while studying, and it helped me a lot mentally. It offered me an opportunity to tune inwards, and listen to what was going on inside of me physically, mentally and spiritually. Yoga was the starting point of a lot of changes inside of me, and to this day really has a big impact on me.
I decided that I wanted to be able to share this with others, and therefore I did my yoga teacher training in April 2021 in Spain and absolutely loved it! Afterwards I traveled around Spain for 7 months volunteering at different communities and retreat centers. I shared yoga classes along the way with fellow volunteers and with guests at Kausay Community and deepened my own practice too.
At the moment I’m living in Denmark and studying to become a psychomotor therapist. We work with the connection between mind and body and support people to have a stronger connection to their body. I’m super passionate about this as well!
Rox
Hola everyone, I am 25 years old and I’m from Brussels, Belgium. I’m an educator specialized in social and sportive activities (basically, I’m a social worker using sports as a “tool” for accompanying people with specific needs). Three years ago after graduating, I started to travel by volunteering in farms and communities. That’s when I discovered the yoga world and noticed the benefits it had on my buzzing mind by coming back to “here and now”. Therefore I completed my yoga teacher training, to be able to share this practice with the world and especially with publics in need. I’m looking forward to meeting your beautiful souls, Namaste.
Practical information
The retreat starts at 1 pm on Thursday 28th of March. We will have lunch together and get to know each other and the area through some different activities. We will also have our first yoga session. The following days we will start the day with a nice long yoga session followed by different activities/workshops such as meditation, partner yoga, ecstatic dance, sharing circles and more.. Monday morning we will have our last yoga session followed by breakfast, and then we will say our goodbyes/see you soon.
It is possible to stay an extra night after the retreat for an extra fee.
Costs
The retreat is priced at 300 euro including 4 nights in a shared yurt, all meals and pick up/drop off from nearby train station.
We prioritized making it as financially accessible as possible, because our specific target group might not have the possibility of joining a regular-priced retreat because of being students/young workers etc. Another reason for the low-price is to hopefully make it possible for some of you to come to Kausay in more eco-responsable ways of transportation, which are sadly more expensive than the plane.
To confirm your participation, you will pay a deposit of 100 euros, and the remaining amount will be charged on arrival. If for some reason we as hosts cancel the retreat, you will receive a full refund. If you yourself choose to not come after paying the 100 euro deposit, you will not be refunded.
Where and how to get there
The retreat will be held at Kausay Community situated in a valley right between Alicante and Valencia. Kausay Community is 50 minutes by car from Valencia and 1h20 from Alicante. It’s a few kilometers from the Spanish village : Enguera. If you come by car, we will give you the exact location (or just “Kausay” in Google Maps).
Alternatively, we can pick you up at the train station in Xativa which is 30 minutes away from Kausay. Xativa is easily reached by train from Valencia or Alicante. Both of which can be reached by train, bus or flight.
!! To be clear : We can pick you up at the train station in the village named Xativa. NOT the Xativa Metro Station in Valencia City. People have been confused by this in the past. If you are in any doubt at all, please contact us 🙂
