with Francie Fishman & Sofia Araújo

Looking to understand how the female body truly works from a holistic and cyclical perspective?
Want to adapt your yoga practice and lifestyle to align with your natural rhythm?
Craving fresh inspiration in your teaching and a deeper connection to your authentic voice?

Welcome to the 50HR Women’s Health & Yoga Training
A sacred journey to deepen, nourish, and reclaim your voice, vitality, and feminine wisdom.

This isn’t just a training—it’s a homecoming. A space to soften, slow down, and listen deeply.

To feel nourished, inspired, and supported as you explore what it means to live in rhythm with your feminine nature.

Through a rich tapestry of yoga, voice, somatics, and sacred self-care, we’ll explore the emotional, energetic, and cyclical landscapes that shape our wellbeing as women. You’ll be held in a loving container that invites healing, empowerment, and embodiment—on your terms, in your time.

We weave together the timeless wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Tantra, and Taoism with practical tools and embodied rituals for:

  • Women’s anatomy & hormonal harmony

  • Daily and seasonal nourishment

  • Voice and nervous system care

  • Emotional alchemy & energy flow

  • Nature’s 5 elements as a guide to balance and inner knowing

This journey is for you if you’re craving a deeper connection with your body and voice…
If you’re walking the path of healing, awakening, or reclamation…
If you’re longing to teach, guide, or simply live in a way that feels more aligned, feminine, and true.

Come as you are. Let’s rise together—in softness, strength, and sisterhood.

Learn, Embody & Share.
Come, empower your feminine wisdom.

    Our Magical Location

    🌿 Welcome to The Yoga Farm @ Casa Cortijo


    Nestled in the wild beauty of the Andalusian foothills, Cortijo Casería del Mercado is an organic farm in rural southern Spain – a soulful eco-farm sanctuary — a place where nature, simplicity, and community converge.

    The property is situated on the edge of the Sierra Nevada National Park and where you can enjoy a variety of local fauna and flora. At 1250 meters above sea level, this Centre offers the best of fresh clean mountain air and the southern Spanish summer sun.

    This off-grid haven offers raw open landscapes, expansive skies, and lush walking trails that invite deep reconnection.

    With two beautiful practice spaces, rustic-chic accommodations, and fresh local meals, the farm is alive year-round with the rhythm of the earth and the hands of international volunteers (woofers) who help tend the land.

    This is simple yogaic luxury: barefoot living, shared meals, sunrise silence, and a space to return to what’s real.

    🌀 Come for the training, stay for the magic — optional extensions available to deepen your stay.

      Getting Here

      The easiest way to get to Orgiva is to fly first to Granada or Malaga Airports. Malaga has many more options for flights coming from most European cities.

      Our pick up point is in Orgiva on the first day of the training.

      We often recommend arriving the day before and either stay a night in Malaga or Granada.

      In the Granada don´t miss the chance to check out The Alhambra

       

        Food & Accommodation

        This beautiful Eco-Farm has been adapted as a retreat centre with traditional Spanish accommodation, a natural mineral water swimming pool and two Yoga Shala’s; one indoor and one outdoor.

        The main Yoga Room is spacious and has a broad view of the surrounding mountains. The accommodation rooms are simple, clean and comfortable, appointed in the same manner found in Ashram style living, and there are single and shared rooms available.

        In our trainings diet plays a fundamental role. All our meals are vegan/vegetarian and 80% of the ingredients are organic. Most of the vegetables are coming directly from the eco-farm we are staying and all the meals are prepared by a qualified chefs. We have a module on nutrition in the course and you´ll learn the principles behind our food preparation.
