Get inspired on this unique 6-day trip
Imagine a week where you really take time for yourself. No crowds, no rush – just space to catch your breath and rediscover what is important to you.
During this retreat, immerse yourself in a world of coaching, yoga, meditation, inspiring workshops and pure relaxation.
It is no ordinary holiday, but a chance to experience how to balance and positively change your life with simple tools – such as yoga, breathwork and meditation. You will learn how to regain your power and come home to yourself.
Every day is about connecting: with yourself, with nature and with others. We start the day with yoga and breathing exercises, which help you feel more powerful and calm. An inspiring hike through the breathtaking surroundings and a visit to the beach give you the chance to completely come to yourself.
These days offer you the space to distance yourself from the daily hustle and bustle, find clarity and gain new insights. Take time to reflect on what is really important to you in your life.
By withdrawing from all the hustle and bustle for a few days, you can make space for new insights and personal growth.
You will go home with a relaxed body, a calm head and a heart recharged with energy and inspiration. A gift to yourself that will last for a long time.
Last May I attended Ilse’s yoga retreat. I needed rest, some time for myself and was looking for new, positive energy. I completely succeeded in this, with the help of Ilse, the other participants and Alejandro.
It really feels like a gift! This week was really great.
The location is wonderful, in the mountains with beautiful views of the surroundings. The accommodation is great, authentic, with beautiful views
There was delicious cooking for us, it was a treat every time to see what deliciousness was put on the table. Healthy and so many different flavours.
The programme was perfect. Lots of variety through different kinds of yoga, at different beautiful places (in the gardens, on the beach, on the mountain and in the old mill), a singing bowl session, a walk, a cooking workshop and a massage. In addition, some time for yourself every day.
I also found it very special to notice how easily contact was made within the group and how quickly everyone opened up. Without any obligations by the way, if you didn’t feel like talking and wanted to withdraw, that was fine too.
And ‘last but not least’, Ilse. …the wonderful yoga sessions, the chats, her enthusiasm, her ability to switch quickly. Gracias Ilse! And keep on pampering people with your retreats!
The moments when we did yoga exercises in the garden or on the beach and I just let the surroundings take effect on me and felt the wind blow, I was completely ‘happy’. I took this feeling home with me and hope to hold onto it for a long time to come.
As an entrepreneur, I was completely absorbed in the delusion of the day on a daily basis.
I wanted to unwind more and was very interested in Yoga and meditation. And what better way to learn about Yoga and meditation than under the Spanish sun.
It was like coming home immediately at the beautiful location. A location equipped with all conveniences with beautiful atmospheric rooms, beautiful gardens and a lovely swimming pool. And what a setting; the most beautiful views of Andalusia!
Ilse-Marie’s sessions were perfect for me. Because of Ilse-Marie’s time, attention and passion, I quickly got into the right flow of yoga and meditation.
But also the delicious meals, beach visits and rest between sessions (be sure to book a massage too) made the retreat a must. Everyone who contributes to the yoga retreat does so with dedication and passion, making the retreat truly special and personal. Whether you are fully familiar with Yoga or like me a beginner, after you return from the retreat you are completely relaxed and continue Yoga and meditation with enthusiasm.
I will definitely participate again too!
Without any experience or knowledge, I boarded the plane to Spain and I did not regret it for a second. The surroundings are beautiful, the food delicious, and the programme accessible to every level.
However, if I were to go again (and there is a very good chance I will), it would mainly be for the super atmosphere Ilse knows how to create; relaxed, open to everyone and with a good dose of humour.
In short yoga fanatic or just looking for a structural break; book now!

Retreats with Ilse-Marie
Monday 26 May to Saturday 31 May 2025 – Ilse-Marie Sobering
Tuesday 21 October to Sunday 26 October 2025 – Ilse-Marie Sobering
HOST
I am Sofie. And I LOVE YOGA. I love how yoga – as well as meditation and breathwork – can help you become truly yourself again. Yoga gives us tools to see a world that works for us instead of against us.
For more than a decade, yoga has helped me keep my energy levels up. It reminds me – both on and off the mat – that everything is connected and therefore we need to live, act, breathe consciously and with gentleness. Since 2019, as a yoga teacher, I have loved sharing this passion with others. It is my mission to give yoga a place in everyone’s daily life and in the schools where our children spend the best hours of their day.
I met Ilse in 2017 and we immediately had a genuine connection. I completed my
Yoga Alliance® certified teacher training with Ilse because I fully recognise myself in her yoga style in which she combines the best of different yoga styles with meditation, breath and energy work and qigong.
My aim, by offering retreats, is to create a safe environment in which you can take care of your body and mind. The atmosphere is relaxed, you are completely unburdened and you don’t have to do anything but experience the peace, enjoy the activities, the beautiful surroundings, the delicious food and the fine company of like-minded people (or time alone, if that’s what you need).
Retreat with Sofie:
Tuesday 20 May to Sunday 25 May 2025 – Sofie Moonen together with Rob Vink
Sofie is a fine yoga teacher.
She has a pleasant voice and knows how to explain things clearly so that you get into a yoga flow during her class.
She exudes confidence and with the attention you get from her, you leave her class with new energy and relaxation.
Sofie, you are a winner! Femke
Sofie creates a very pleasant atmosphere in class.
She has a good sense of what the group needs.
The classes are a combination of breathing exercises, flow yoga and yin poses.
For me, they are perfect because I feel relaxed and supple both mentally and physically after the class.
One of the finest yoga teachers I have ever had.
In June 2022, I was finally able to enjoy another yoga retreat in Spain.
Alongside Ilse, Sofie Moonen taught different styles of yoga complemented by beautiful music and an inspiring poem to conclude the class.
Sofie is a skilled yoga teacher and a very good addition at House of Innerpower. I have enjoyed her classes immensely. Sofie and Ilse complement each other so that after five days of enjoyment you go home with a smile and a heart full of love.
Every edition is different, so even if you have been before, new surprises await you! Some participants have been 5 or 6 times.

Please note that the offerings may vary between retreats, and additional workshops may be introduced. This way, every retreat remains a truly one-of-a-kind experience!
The beach day is a regular and popular part of our retreat. We start the morning with an energetic yoga session with Qigong and meditation, all in sync with the soothing vibe of the sea.
After this energy boost, we enjoy a delicious brunch at a cosy beach club, where you can recharge with local delicacies. Then it’s time for relaxation: take a dip in the sea, relax in the sun or take a beach walk. It’s a day to completely unwind, enjoy nature and recharge yourself!
The Breath Circle workshop introduces you to connected breathing combined with music, a powerful technique that helps you experience deep relaxation and emotional release.
Through conscious and connected breathing, you get in touch with blockages and emotions you may not have fully processed.
The music supports this process, allowing you to dive deeper into yourself and release old tensions.
This session gives you the space to be fully in the moment and rebalance your energy. A powerful experience that resets your body and mind.
The Family Constellations workshop introduces you to this powerful method that can offer profound insights into yourself and your relationships.
We will work with a number of short exercises, giving you the opportunity to break through blockages and recognise patterns within your family or personal life.
These exercises help you get more clarity and let go of old patterns, so you can move forward with a renewed perspective. A special experience that brings you more in touch with yourself and your environment.
During the TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) workshop, you will discover body-oriented techniques that help to effectively reduce stress and tension.
These simple exercises focus on releasing deep-seated tension by bringing your body into a natural state of relaxation. Through controlled muscle vibrations, TRE helps you discharge stress, trauma and physical tension, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer and more balanced. A powerful way to reset your body and find inner peace.
During the Yoga Nidra Radiant Peace session, developed by Ilse, you will experience deep relaxation and restore your energy. This unique method helps you release tension and calm your mind, while you enter a state of tranquillity that lies between sleeping and waking. It is a powerful way to recharge yourself, improve your focus and find inner peace. Come to yourself, feel refreshed and discover the power of deep relaxation.
Imagine breathtaking views surrounded by the silence and power of nature.
During this special session on the mountain, we guide you with breathing techniques and meditation that help you be fully in the moment. It is a deep, healing experience where you reconnect with nature, your breath and your inner strength. A moment of pure peace, clarity and inspiration that will stay with you for a long time.
During the Qigong workshop you will discover the power of ancient Chinese movements that help you let your energy flow.
Through flowing, simple movements combined with breathing, you balance your body and mind.
Qigong is not only relaxing but also invigorating – it gives you a boost of energy and helps you release stress. It is a moment of complete focus and connection with yourself, leaving you feeling more vital, calm and in your power after the session.
A playful and refreshing way to recharge your energy completely!
A wonderful, adventurous hike through the mountains of Andalusia, surrounded by breathtaking nature. We start the day with a delicious cup of coffee in a charming local village, where you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and local culture. Then we start the hike, exploring the quiet mountain trails and enjoying a delicious picnic in a breathtaking location along the way.
The nature, fresh air and views complete this experience. A perfect way to discover both the beauty of the mountains and the local atmosphere!
You can take part in a very special sound journey with Tibetan and crystal bowls. During the session, you will learn more about the sounds, the different types of bowls, the gong and other instruments. Given by our Sound Chef Tiziana Santi.
Experience the pure Andalusian life during your stay in a charming small white village, surrounded by enchanting views of the lake and sea.
The small whitewashed houses and casitas are located in a picturesque hamlet with a rustic bar and a pool on the premises. Surrounded by the soothing sounds of birds and the lush greenery of bougainvillea, this place offers breathtaking views that you won’t forget soon.
The road to the hamlet El Cañuelo is a steep climb through olive groves, but the view you get in return is priceless. High in the mountains, with an unobstructed view of the sea, it is a wonderful place to relax. The cute holiday homes with their charming terraces blend seamlessly into the traditional village.
The quaint houses are not luxurious, but El Cañuelo is as authentically Andalusian as it gets. It has an irresistible charm that grabs you immediately. Step outside, and you enter a world full of singing birds, colorful bougainvillea, and warm sunshine. Explore the village path, hike, or simply enjoy the spectacular view from your own terrace.
Swimming Pool
The pool, locally known as ‘Mickey Mouse’ due to its shape, is 7 x 7 meters with two small ‘ears,’ one with a depth of 90 cm and the other about 15 cm. The main pool is 2 meters deep at its deepest point.
The bar and location have WIFI.
The Yoga Room
Our accommodation has a beautifully renovated Yoga Shala. It is a space with large windows allowing plenty of natural light. Additionally, there are various platforms and terraces where we can practice yoga outdoors in good weather. This way, you can enjoy your yoga sessions in an inspiring and natural environment and experience the positive effects of the exercises even more.
People come to us for various reasons. Whether you need some time for yourself in a beautiful location or are going through a difficult or emotional period, our yoga retreat offers something for everyone.
Regardless of your experience with yoga and meditation, our workshops are suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners seeking deeper insights. Even if you have never practiced yoga or meditation before, you are welcome to join our workshops. We offer a warm and welcoming environment where everyone can participate and feel comfortable.
Our main focus is on your well-being. Therefore, we tailor our lessons and exercises to your level and any injuries you may have, so everyone can fully enjoy our retreat.

We deliberately choose to work with small groups, with 10-16 participants depending on room arrangements.
What kind of people come to our retreats?
Our participants are diverse and vary per group. We welcome men and women of different ages and backgrounds. Most people come alone, but we also have friends or family members who join together.
We notice that each group quickly connects upon arrival, creating a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful conversations during the retreat. Many groups stay in touch even after the retreat. But there is also the freedom to retreat to one of the beautiful spots in the tropical gardens.
Our activities are all voluntary, so you can decide what you want to do. The most important thing is that you enjoy this beautiful place in Andalusia and don’t have to do anything.
