Casa Yoga Minca runs 10 group yoga sessions — one each morning and one each evening — for a total of 15 hours of guided practice. Morning sessions start in English as a soft landing for the week; from the third day onward, all sessions are in Spanish, reinforcing the language while deepening the practice.

Research from Harvard Medical School and UCLA links yoga practice to reduced cortisol, improved working memory, and stronger executive function — precisely the cognitive resources involved in language learning. The schedule is intentional: yoga in the morning, Spanish class midday, yoga in the afternoon. Each session prepares you for the next.

Styles: Each class is led by experienced teachers, Alex or Katya (founders of Casa Yoga Minca), in an intimate and peaceful setting. The program includes Hatha Yoga, meditation, and conscious breathing. Through breathing, we can deepen the effect of any asana. The most powerful pranic effect is achieved with the help of the easiest exercises to perform, useful for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Bonus: All program participants receive one month of online yoga in Spanish on the CasaYogaVirtual platform, free of charge, after the retreat. Learn more about Casa Yoga Minca here

Misión Gaia's Spanish School runs 15 hours of active, immersive classes across five full days of the program. "Active" means exactly that: you don't sit at a desk for three hours. You practice Spanish at a working coffee farm, decode botanical vocabulary on a nature walk, and close the week with a traditional cacao experience — all guided by a bilingual teacher who designs each class around what you're actually seeing and doing. Research in second-language acquisition consistently shows that learning in real contexts produces stronger gains in fluency, grammar, and vocabulary recall than classroom instruction alone — and that learners feel more confident and willing to communicate. That is the point of every class here. 

INNER SPACE can be integrated into Spanish classes as a 5-minute reset break. After 20–25 minutes of study, attention naturally begins to decline. A short guided self-regulation session helps students restore focus, improve retention, and return to learning with renewed energy and concentration.

Who teaches: certified bilingual instructors from Misión Gaia's Spanish School, with experience teaching international adult learners from beginner to advanced.

Class levels: beginner to intermediate (the program is most effective if you have at least basic A1 exposure; total beginners are welcome).

Certificate of completion issued at the end of the program.
