Yoga asana classes are for all levels of practice. The sessions combine Hatha Yoga principles and exercises, Vinyasa, movement and mobility.

There will be one yoga class per day. Yoga classes build up gradually, always offering variations for different levels of practice and individual abilities.

During the course we will cover in detail:

• Classic Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) and version A and B.
• Fundamental postures of classic Hatha-Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga. They will be of great help in increasing our physical and mental endurance and flexibility.
• Mobility and movement exercises.
• Relaxation: We will offer simple tools to help you learn to relax and release tension and stress in your daily life (return to calmness).
• Sequences: At the end of the course you will learn to set up your own sequences according to your possibilities and objectives.
• Pranayama: Study of different breathing techniques and exercises to increase vital energy, improve our lungs capacity and calm our mind.

We will have 2 special workshops where we will cover 8 branches of the tree of yoga. During the workshops we will also have the opportunity to share our deepest concerns, doubts and insights. Additionally, there will be time to meditate together, contemplate nature, sing mantras or meditative songs. 

The 8 branches of the tree of yoga

1. Yamas: universal principles
2. Niyamas: individual precepts
3. Asanas: yoga postures
4. Pranayama: breath control
5. Pratyahara: withdrawal of the senses
6. Dharana: concentration
7. Dhyana: meditation
8. Samadhi: liberation

Everyday there will be guided meditation sessions, in the morning and some nights before going to sleep. The best way to start and finish the day.

We practice simple techniques that are easy to carry on at home. We use universal elements to all of us as concentration objects, such as the breath, the body sensations, sounds, etc.

Meditative walks and hikes are esencial practices in our retreats. They are very simple and accesible for everyone. They help us to understand, through experience, our deep connection with nature.
It makes us notice in each step and in each breath, that the energy that exist inside us it is just the same as the energy that exists out there. Nature is our greatest teacher, silence and deep listening helps us enrich the experience She offers.

There will be a daily 90 minute meditative walk in nature, opening the senses and developing mindfulness.

Two days will be dedicated to meditative hiking, starting just after breakfast and coming back for a gentle yoga session. It is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the the Ordesa National Park or surrounding areas.

A moment of silence to connect with nature, with yourself and with the group. Sharing a bowl of “living tea” we deepen all the richness that dwells in “the way of tea” (Cha Dao).

We give ourselves the opportunity to make from something ordinary something extraordinary and full of meaning.

In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sang means group or community.

Satsang is a gathering to share our concerns, questions, and our deepest insights. It is also a time to meditate together, contemplate nature and sing meditative songs or mantras.

Karma Yoga is Yoga in action = finding skillfulness and integration in any action.

We bring the principles of Yoga in everything we do. We invite you to practice Karma Yoga by helping us with simple tasks of the house as fetching water from the fountain, chopping vegetables, drying dishes, etc.
