YinLife Longevity Retreats

No serum, supplement, or smoothie can substitute for inner harmony.

If the inside isn’t functioning with ease, nothing else truly lands.

In 2026, we return to our sanctuary in Granada to explore longevity as an inside job.

This retreat is a deep dive into the inner world, where true wellness begins.

Yin & Hatha yoga to restore the physical and emotional harmony in body and mind.

Ayurvedic rituals to align with your unique constitution.

Traditional Chinese Medicine to harmonize energy and organ flow.

Nourishing, seasonal meals to support digestion and vitality.

Reflective workshops to recalibrate your inner compass.

All held in the calmness and beauty of Finca Las Calmas designed for deep rest, inspiration, and reconnection.

Led by Tessa Rohrig, with Annemarie, our radiant hostess and queen of inner and outer beauty treatments, and Gerard, our chef extraordinaire, crafting food for the body and soul.

This is not about doing more.
It’s about remembering what sustains you.

13-16 May/ 24-28 June/ 16-20 Sept 2026.

Beneath the Pulse: What Lies Behind Blood Pressure -

Over the past few weeks I have noticed something quietly persistent. Blood pressure concerns are appearing in people who do not seem visibly stressed, ageing, or unwell. This observation inspired me to look more closely through the lens of yoga, fascia health, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Your Biography Becomes Your Biology -

This past weekend, I had the joy of facilitating Yin Yoga teacher training with a truly inspiring group of trainees. As we explored fascia, anatomy, and the art of holding space, one theme kept surfacing:

03/11/2025

Your biography becomes your biology

Not just metaphorically — but quite literally

Every experience you’ve lived leaves a trace in your tissues
Your fascia, that intelligent web of connective tissue, adapts to the shape of your life:

The postures you’ve held, physically and emotionally

The words you’ve spoken, and the ones you’ve swallowed

The places you’ve travelled, the cultures you’ve absorbed

The roles you’ve played, the responsibilities you’ve carried

The people you’ve loved, lost, guided, and grown with

Over 25 years, I’ve had the honour of guiding thousands of students across the globe
Each one shaped me
Each retreat, each training, each conversation, etched into my nervous system, my breath, my fascia

Yoga softened me
Teaching refined me
Travel expanded me
And even the injuries, the tender places, I now meet with love
They are part of my story
They are my story

In my classes, I offer an environment where you are invited to meet your own story with compassion.
To listen to the quiet truths held in your tissues
To move gently, breathe deeply, and remember that your body is not separate from your life, it is the living archive of it

This isn’t just about me
It’s about you
So I invite you to reflect
What shaped your biology
What stories live in your tissues
Which ones are asking to be witnessed, rewritten, or released

You are not separate from your story
You are its living expression
And you are allowed to meet it with love

Excited to welcome a truly inspiring group into the upcoming 50hr Yin Yoga Training, starting Saturday 1 November at the beautiful Yoga Barn, Longwood Farm.

Each person joins with a unique intention—some to become teachers, some to deepen their personal practice, and many to integrate Yin as an additional modality into their existing health or wellness offerings.

Whether you’re a bodyworker, therapist, fitness professional, or yoga teacher, Yin offers a fascia-informed, deeply restorative layer to support your clients and yourself.

It’s an honour to share this practice and pass on the torch of Yin Yoga, rooted in over 6000 years of tradition.

As the Buddha said,
“Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.”

This training is a space to do just that—through stillness, inquiry, and embodied wisdom.
Let’s begin.

Warmly ♥️,

Tessa

Superpowers of Movement
Stretching Muscles, Mobilising Joints and Fascia

In a world that often equates strength with force, endurance, intensity, drive, we forget the quiet foundations that make such power possible.

True strength begins in softness.

Stretching is not passive, it is a conscious surrender. It invites the body to soften into safety, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and creating space for regeneration. Flexibility is the body’s way of saying: I trust you.

Mobility is grace in motion. It is the architecture of self-led movement, supported by fascia, ligaments, and bone. Hydrated fascia glides, nourishes proprioception, and enhances emotional regulation. It is not just physical, it is a full-body conversation.

Fascia is the hidden power source. It gives muscles their shape, responsiveness, and strength. When we move slowly and with intention, we awaken its elasticity and unlock embodied resilience.

This week in practice, we explore these superpowers through Hatha and Yin yoga—inviting muscular release, joint nourishment, and embodied spaciousness.

Because your superpower is not in how hard you push, it is in how deeply you soften.

There are moments in life so exquisitely radiant, so quietly divine, that words fall short. They speak not to the intellect, but to the soul.

Meeting Annemarie & Gerard, the heart and vision behind Finca Las Calmas, was one of those moments.
Hosting my last two retreats in their sanctuary was more than collaboration—it was effortless connection, shared values, and a kindred spirit in creating spaces of beauty, depth, and restoration. Their warmth, integrity, and devotion to detail elevated every breath of the experience.

In a world of imperfection, there are still places—and people—that feel like perfection. Not for how they appear, but for how they make us feel and what they awaken within us.

I’ll return to Finca Las Calmas in 2026 with three more retreats:
🪷 13–17 May — 3 rooms left
🪷 24–28 June — waiting list only
🪷 16–20 September — waiting list only
If one of these calls to you, feel free to reach out quietly.

With deep gratitude for the extraordinary souls I meet along this yogic path—thank you for reminding me, time and again, of the beauty that exists in connection

Regardless of the path you choose, you are responsible for your life, your health, and your well-being. You are unique—no one else carries your exact constellation of history, physical and mental conditions, environmental influences, thoughts, emotions, nutritional status, and capacity to meet lif...

A Grateful Heart, A Peaceful Retreat

Just arrived at for my 5-day retreat.
Welcomed so warmly by the most inspiring hosts and owners, Annemarie & Gerard.

Taking a quiet moment to soak in the beauty here—the silence, the understated luxury, and the vastness of pure, untouched nature that surrounds us.

Feeling deeply grateful for the journey of yoga that brought me here, for my teachers and masters, for the inspiring students I get to share this path with, and for truly special places and people like these. 💛

Thrilled to welcome the yogis to this little piece of heaven 🌷🙏🏻

Time Isn’t Real—Presence Is

We live by the clock.
But what if time isn’t real?
What if freedom lives in the breath between tasks, the stretch before the scroll, the moment you choose presence over productivity?

We chase money to buy things.
But what we truly crave is freedom from time.
From urgency. From guilt. From the hum of “not enough.”

Money, when used soulfully, buys:
• Mornings without alarms
• Afternoons without deadlines
• Evenings on your own terms
It buys that space to breathe.
To soften. To choose alignment over urgency.

Presence is a practice.
It’s yin yoga.
It’s fascia unwinding.
It’s choosing to live, not just to do.

True wealth = presence.
Not possessions. Not hustle.
Just breath. Just being.

Journal with me:
• When do I feel most trapped by time?
• What does freedom feel like in my body?
• What small choice can I make today to reclaim presence?

Love ❤️
Tessa
