This retreat I invite you to allow us a little time to connect deeper with the nervous system, allowing deep relaxation, to reset and start fresh for summer with more energy. We will have one class looking at gentle partner yoga and massage so come without or without confidence of touch and leave with a little more! As it’s spring I want to open more space for a little more energy than the winter retreat, but still providing much needed R and R.
Two nights accommodation (single, double or twin rooms, subject to availability)
Two yoga classes a day (each 1 hour and a half)
Three delicious vegetarian meals a day
One gentle partner yoga and massage workshop/class
Refreshments available throughout the day
Free time to yourself in the rolling beauty of Castilla, with wild swimming and stunning views.
(Holistic massage supplementary)
The Yoga
I plan to create a weekend for you to explore your movements and listen to what your body needs. Each person has their own point/s of focus, be that strength, flexibility, stillness or released and these needs will be incorporated into a series of classes working through the body as a whole. Having taught yoga and worked as a holistic massage therapist for over ten years, the body and how it is used are very important to me. Through my own yoga practise and other therapies, I have learned that it is essential to first understand what your body needs before working with it, and this weekend will aim to do just that.
The classes will be aimed at all levels. Allow yourself some time to explore you own strength both physically and mentally, play around with ideas of being more gentle or pushing yourself deeper depending on the day and your needs. I invite you to join me with an open mind to stop and listen, instead of just pushing on - their is no finish line, the journey leads you elsewhere during each class.
The food
All food will be vegetarian and catering to any allergies, prepared by a personal chef with over fifteen years experience in specialised catering. Breakfast will be a DIY feast of bread, spreads, oats and more, while lunch will feed you to your hearts content and a lighter dinner before winding down at the end of the day.
Free time
There will be plenty of time around yoga and meals for you to do what you like. The house has ample space to share if we encounter rainy days, with a projector if people would like to watch a film, open fires for the evening and beautiful walks in the surrounding area starting directly from the front door. I will also be offering holistic massage at an added cost for those who are interested.
Travel
Neither flights (if travelling from further afield) nor transit to the retreat location are included in the price but full assistance will be given regarding flight purchase and organisation of rental vehicles or car shares, if required.
To bear in mind
Unfortunately I cannot promise good weather. I wish I could! Northern Spain is a very different country from the south and, as such, in June I feel very hopeful for clear blue skies, however with the lush green surroundings it can mean only one thing - some rain. Just to say there can be rain, does not mean there will be - but always be prepared! This, however, does anything but detract from its wild beauty and great character.
