“I take away tools to use for life”
Peter and Ellen are both amazing people and teachers. They are kind, wise and have different but incredibly complementary energies to one another. They showed us genuine interest and care throughout, checking-in on us regularly and were eager to learn about who we are and what bought us to the retreat. Their passion for teaching yoga and sharing their wisdom was palpable. I’ve taken away tools to use for life and some memories I will cherish. The week was structured to leave a feeling of renewal at the end of it (and it most certainly did!)..The yoga itself was paced perfectly so that we were challenged but not worn out, both Ellen and Peter have a good intuition for the different abilities in the group and the fluctuating energies day by day and adjusted the practices accordingly. Each practice built upon what we had learnt previously and incorporated how the breath, mind and body work in synergy. The time in between was balanced between connecting with the group over meals and taking space to nurture your inner sanctuary through being in nature. The location, food and property itself were impeccable and I trust that they ensure this for each retreat they do. If you’re looking for a week of human connection, self discovery and to deepen your yoga practice then this I could not recommend Ellen and Peter enough.

“A beautiful retreat beyond all expectation”
I absolutely loved this retreat and cannot recommend it enough to others that are looking to rest, restore and fly away re-energised. The food (so delicious!), accommodation, staff and beautiful surroundings of nature at La Serrania were wonderful. Ellen and Peter are amazing, they bring a wealth of experience between them and have a beautiful way of recognizing and including all of our individual needs into the group sessions and flow of the retreat. The atmosphere Ellen and Peter created felt very safe and positive and they know just when to help you stretch just that little bit further, both physically and spiritually. My yoga practice also improved significantly over the week which I was delighted with, and I have enjoyed continuing since returning home. I hope to join a future retreat to see what is possible next.

“Everything was top rate!’
Peter and Ellen’s level of thoughtfulness and organisation in putting together the program for the week was top rate. The taxi transfers from Palma airport worked well. We started each day with a 2 hour meditation and yoga session with Ellen. Peter followed up and led a late afternoon workshop taking a deeper dive into exploring other aspects of yoga. Peter’s passion and enthusiasm for yoga was wonderfully balanced by Ellen’s quiet kind attentiveness and wisdom during her classes. Both are excellent teachers.
We got to know the other group members during our week and with Peter and Ellen spent evenings chatting after the meal. The shared time and experience of the retreat felt very special. For one week life took on a gentle reflective pace and I was able to totally let go of everyday stresses. Both my daughter and myself agreed it was one of the best retreats we’d had and would love to return again in the future. Thank you.

“Absolutely incredible Yoga Retreat!”
The natural, calm, unspoilt surroundings at La Serrania makes it the perfect location to experience this amazing week of Yoga and personal discovery. Peter and Ellen are such lovely people and knowledgeable about the practice. After my personal consultation with them they had clearly listened and worked certain techniques into their sessions that helped me. So whilst we were taught in a group it still felt like a very person-centred approach. Everything had been so well thought out and organised. I was able to totally unwind and Peter and Ellen created the perfect environment and space for me to do that. La Serrania is an incredible place. The food was delicious, the hospitality was second to none (nothing was too much trouble for the owners Martina and Tim), the rooms were comfortable and clean. The gardens, pool, surroundings are stunning. My experience on this retreat will always have a very special place in my heart and was truly one of the best decisions I made!

“A Great and Transformative Yoga Retreat in an Amazing Place!”
It was an amazing and transformative yoga retreat where I could really recharge my batteries, disconnect from the busy daily life, and get new energy. Ellen and Peter are a good team, and their yoga sessions were great. They have a lot of knowledge, and explained all exercises. Even for me, as a “Yoga beginner”, the yoga sessions were good to follow. The place “La Serrania” is amazing to calm down, get connected with Nature, and meet amazing new people, which made the whole trip to a perfect experience.

“Touch of Heaven”
I was greeted with beauty and hospitality upon arrival at La Serrania. The surroundings are breathtaking and the architecture of the facilities are beautiful and timeless. Warm colors, luxury rooms and laid out perfectly for a yoga treat. Our hosts, Peter and Ellen made the stay perfect. They organized everything thoroughly and never left us with an unanswered question. Communications were fast and they always seemed to be one step ahead. Our classes were top of the line. Very professional. The instructions were clear and Ellen and Peter always made sure we performed correctly and helping us if needed in every possible way. Personally, my body made profound changes both mentally and physically thanks to Peter and Ellen. Our food was always a treat. Great brunches and three course meals in the evening were perfect after our yoga practices. We had the luxury of eating outdoors in a beautiful environment every day. After our brunches participants had the option to settle down by the spectacular pool area, go on easy but fun hikes, small town browsing, the beach or fantastic massages done in the house. If you want a little touch of heaven, then La Serrania with Peter and Ellen is the right place.

“Inoubliable”
Parenthèse paisible au milieu de la végétation et des montagnes Majorquines. La Serrania est un lieu magique, calme, doux, paisible dans un écrin de verdure. L’accueil est simple et bienveillant, la nourriture délicieuse. Ellen et Peter nous accompagnent tout aussi délicatement dans cette semaine avec une pratique de yoga rigoureuse et épurée. La bienveillance est de mise dans chaque détail de ce séjour que je recommande chaleureusement.

“Just one word: Wow”
This retreat changed more for me than I could have ever imagined. Even for me, having struggles with my stiff body, after a week of yoga with Peter and Ellen, I feel such a difference. So much more space and relaxation, mentally and physically. La Serrania is truly a more than fantastic place, the food was incredibly tasty, plenty of free time to relax and a very warm and pleasant group.
