Grounding Yoga Sessions
Immerse yourself in two thoughtfully designed yoga sessions each day.
Morning Practice with Ellen: Start your day with a harmonious blend of meditation, pranayama, hatha, and slow vinyasa yoga. These practices are crafted to energize your body, clarify your mind, and cultivate inner strength, setting a grounding tone for the day ahead.
Afternoon Workshops with Peter: Explore creative and transformative practices that transcend traditional yoga. Peter’s sessions invite you to reconnect with your natural self through voice, breath, and movement, unlocking moments of joy and presence—true treasures of life’s beauty.
All yoga equipment, including mats, is provided at the finca for your convenience.
Embracing Silence
- Each morning unfolds in nurturing silence. From the moment you wake until the conclusion of the morning practice, you are invited to refrain from social engagement. This sacred quietude supports introspection, clears mental clutter, and deepens your inner journey. What may seem challenging at first often reveals unexpected depth and clarity
Additional Practices
Beyond yoga, this retreat offers enriching opportunities to ignite your creativity, balance, and enthusiasm for life.
- Reflective practices: Engage in silence, journaling, and guided creative writing to channel your inner reflections.
- Embodiment practices: Intuitive dance sessions and sound will help you to get more into your body.
- Nature experiences: Wilderness walks inspire you to embrace the energy and vitality of the natural world
