“Thanks for a life-changing moment in all our lives in Velez-Malaga”

“Thank you all for such a special time spent together in magical Casa Pantha”

David and Nickles combine their energies to offer you a joyful, loving and challenging tantric retreat, in August/September.

Together, we will explore the seeds of desire. As with any other seeds, they grow, develop and become beautiful plants or invasive weeds. With the help of tantra philosophy, we will help you to accept all the plants in your garden of desire and nurture the power of their life force, with the purpose to knowing yourself better: Tantra is the understanding of who we are, deeply, in our very core, so we are able to live fully and enjoy our lives in every aspect.

Open to 18+ men, this workshop will give you the opportunity to enjoy an intimate, holistic retreat: with only 6 guests and 2 teachers, each of you will get plenty of personal attention, to improve your self-understanding and acceptance, through tantra and nude yoga sessions. This mini retreat is suitable and open to all levels of practitioners, regardless of your experience with yoga and/or tantra.

During this weekend, our tantric exploration will give you a global view on how tantra transcends our life and expands our consciousness. The programme will include morning tantra yoga flow on the terrace, followed by a workshop (mindfulness meditation, tantra, massage, intimacy sessions …), and an evening session. Our ultimate purpose is to give you the tools you need to help you move towards self-realisation.

In the afternoons, you will have plenty of time to relax and revive on the lounge terrace, wander in the ancient town, visit the local naturist beach or explore the nearby coast and mountains.

You will stay in a centuries-old traditional Andalusian house on a hill in the ancient medina of Velez-Malaga, southern Spain; a naturist home with a twist of India and a verdant hideaway (see the house at casapantha.com).

Your hosts:

Nickles and David met a few years ago in London on a weekend yoga workshop. As their paths crossed again in spring 2017, they decided to put together their experiences and skills. The resulting four retreats have been wonderful, surprising and hugely enriching. We revel in hosting them.

David: (nakedhealingtouch.com) Through years of practice and study, David has developed a unique practice, with a simple and effective method of teaching. His physical practice of yoga embraces the “Universal Principles of Alignment” (from the Anusara and Iyengar approaches) in which he spiritually incorporates the wisdom and compassion of the Buddhist tradition, believing in « The intrinsic kindness and beauty of every being » as found in the Kashmir Shaivism Tantra tradition.

Because David’s style is enhanced by his experience as an Ayurveda practitioner, yoga therapist and tantra practitioner, all workshops and retreats, from a restorative/relaxing approach to the more powerful and challenging practice, are designed according to the students’ levels and needs.

Practicing yoga in its wholeness (which includes tantra traditions, postures and movements, meditation, breathing techniques (pranayama), massage, intimacy, self-exploration and acceptance …) is to become aware of what takes place in our body/mind/spirit, to serve ourselves and be open to everything around us. It is about learning to accept and love ourselves such as we are. It is about finding our own authentic values, through a holistic and individual approach to life, to discover who we really are and to find our true place.

Every person in David’s sessions is respected and honored within his abilities and limitations, not judged but completely accepted just as they are, supported and empowered on their own path. The experience helps to reveal and cultivate the best of the student, which is already to be found within.

Nickles: (altogetheryoga.com) Taking a pragmatic, grounded and student-centred approach to teaching, based on foundations of health, safety and fun, Nickles also embraces the broader, holistic aspects of yoga. His exploration of tantra has included a three-year diploma and courses in many forms of touch and bodywork. Nickles has been a yogi for over a decade and his teaching experience spans more than five years.

Our bodies hold remarkable secrets and revealing them can be exciting, liberating and healing. Yoga, meditation, breathing practices, touch and tantra can awaken powerful physical responses while offering us new perspectives on ourselves and making valuable contributions to the experiences of those around us.
