Yoga Retreat & Spanish Immersion Programme
This is an inner journey to activate the chakras and balance our energy, while we experience a Spanish Immersion Programme and the slow life in a peaceful place on the island of Mallorca.
This Programme is a bit special, it is a Yoga Retreat because the intention is to practice Yoga through the exploration of the chakras, to know and discover our energetic state, and to learn to harmonise our energy centers to regulate and balance our physical, mental and emotional well-being.
But at the same time, it is about living an immersion experience in the Spanish culture and language during your stay in my beautiful Mallorcan home and in the local community.
An inner journey to activate our chakras
This is an inner journey through the different chakras to activate them, to learn about them, and to learn about ourselves. I have chosen the concept of a journey because involves an exploration, a discovery, and an incursion into places that are often unknown.
The knowledge and deepening of the chakras can lead us to unexplored terrain within ourselves. And precisely, it is about exploring and balancing, if it is the case, each of our energy centers to reach a greater or deeper state of well-being and inner alignment.
My proposal during this experience is the practice of Restorative Yoga which has its origin in Iyengar Yoga. It is a holistic Yoga in which I mix active asanas with gentle movements, in which the time dedicated to each one of them is the priority in order to receive and better perceive the benefit of the posture. With the slow and spaced practice of the asanas, we allow the channels or chakras to open, allowing the energy (prana) to flow, spread, and circulate throughout the body and mind. This practice develops a deep awareness of each of the asanas that goes beyond an understanding of technique and form.
The other aspect is the practice of the asanas by using supports, obtaining the same benefits, and making yoga accessible to anyone. Restorative Yoga is a passive and reconstitutive Yoga, through conscious breathing, it works on the parasympathetic system allowing us to reach a meditative state, a state of calm and relaxation while the body receives the benefits of the asana reaching the deepest tissues.
With this slow practice of Yoga, I can listen to my body, feel my breath, and understand much better what happens each time I practice and repeat the same asana. The constant disciplined practice of breathing, postures, and relaxation "transforms my body into a spiritual tool through which levels of intuitive understanding are reached, and the mystical aspects of Yoga gradually unfold and reveal their secrets". Swami Sivananda Radha.
The other great benefit of this Yoga is the deep relaxation, repairing the body and mind, reconstituting our vital energy.
Reconnecting with yourself, your learning process
Aspects of transformation and personal growth are largely an individual responsibility, as true inner change depends on each person's will, commitment, and self-knowledge. However, guides, as I prefer to call them, also play an important role in this process, although they are not ultimately responsible for our growth. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Responsibility of the Individual:
-Willingness and readiness: Personal growth and, as a possible consequence, the awakening of our consciousness, is an internal process. Only the individual can decide to change, reflect on his or her actions, beliefs, and patterns, and be willing to take responsibility for his or her life.
-Self-awareness: Transformation begins when a person becomes aware of themselves and their own mental, emotional, and physical processes.
-Practice and perseverance: Daily discipline in practices such as meditation, yoga, or any form of introspection is something that each person must carry out on their own.
Do you feel the need to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself? Would you also like to have the opportunity to practice Spanish in different contexts? This Yoga Retreat is designed to provide you with a space for transformation, well-being, and self-discovery.
Join my Spanish Immersion Yoga Retreat for 6 days of conscious practice and cultural immersion in a natural and serene environment that invites tranquillity and introspection.
The practice will be carried out in Spanish but always taking into account the level of the participant(s).
