Ibiza Retreat

Our retreats interweave the traditional practices of yoga with the medicine of the earth. Being situated amongst the glory of Ibiza’s landscape, we have the unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature and use this experience to deepen our practice. Each practice is artfully designed to balance and restore the elements of earth, water, fire, air and space within us.

Our morning practices are a dynamic and invigorating blend of vinyasa and breathwork. Evening practice is a soothing mix of restorative yoga, meditation and pranayama.

Our cuisine beautifully compliments our theme and each day’s menu is thoughtfully designed to support the day’s practices.  With fresh ingredients and decadent recipes, our cuisine integrates the healing power and true joy of food into our week.

Throughout the week we provide several opportunities to connect with the elements through activities like paddleboarding or guided hikes. Furthermore, our villa’s location perfectly illustrates Ibiza’s natural beauty. Surrounded by vegetation and serenaded by birds, it is impossible not to be soothed by the nature that surrounds us!

Vinyasa Flow

From Sanskrit ‘To place in a special way’, Vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to strengthen our mind and body connection.  A portal into self enquiry and discovery, where the emphasis lays less on the external and more on the internal. Moving one breath, one movement in a dynamic and explorative flow to increase and move any stagnant energy within. An opportunity to reconnect, to unravel and ignite our inner fire, not to find but to reconnect with our true self.

Each practice will begin with Pranayama (breath work)and/ or Meditation to bring us into a state of introspection, before moving through carefully curated movements designed to cultivate more of an equilibrium within the body moving both functionally, creatively and playfully. Drawing upon influences of Mandala Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rocket and yin weaved with Ancient Yogic Philosophy. A chance to deepen your practice and reconnect with yourself.

Yin Yoga, Kundalini and sound

Yin works on the subconscious mind, unravelling the stuff we never truly dealt with at the opportune moment when it was held in the conscious mind. As a modern society of suppressants and consumers, we have become masterful at avoiding any kind of emotional discomfort. Over time, all our residual traumas become so deeply ingrained into the subtle fascia layers of our bodies, that they form part of the pysche, lurking deep within, waiting to be later triggered over and over again.

When you practice Yin yoga, you are creating nuturing space within the body and mind, to be present and to experience all of your emotions in full without the feeling of overwhelment. Learning the art of softening, of letting go, and allowing your emotions be present encourages the body to heal and release. Suppressing our feelings day by day becomes exhausting on the mind. Yin yoga creates an internal environment which encourages the mind and body to let go of emotions that aren't serving us well, and become aware of the things that need more of our attention. This helps work through mental blockages and find more peace, as the practice heals us deeply on a cellular level.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness. We systematically train our mind and attune our body to hold higher frequencies of energy associated with Kundalini and consciousness, releasing blockages to the reservoirs of untapped energy within us, balancing the subtle sytems of nadis (energy channels) and realigning the chakras. When energy moves freely through the chakras, it stimulates the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the being. There is a clarity that arises that combines perception, thought, and intuition. Kundalini Yoga is known to assist change and self-limiting habit, bringing equilibrium to the glandular system and revitalising the nervous systems.
