Caring for myself: Yoga, Nature & Natural Cosmetics

Caring for myself: Yoga, Nature & Natural Cosmetics Making

"When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously. When you realize the depth and fullness of your love of yourself, you know that every living being and the entire universe are included in your heart."
-Nisargadatta Maharaj

How many times do we find ourselves distracted and over-stimulated by our environment (social networks, music, TV series, movies, etc…) that steal our attention away from ourselves?

The practice of yoga and meditation is an opportunity to return to ourselves, take care of our body and mind, and attend to our emotions.
We invite you to Casa Cuadrau on Puente del Pilar, a retreat space in the mountains where you can slow down, take care of yourself, release tensions and enjoy spacious time to look deeply within.

  • Take a break, breathe and reconnect with Nature
  • Take care of yourself and cultivate what is truly important in your life

    daily life more serene, balanced and healthy

Activities

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

There is one yoga class per day. The classes are usually dynamic, except after the long meditative hikes there are gentle yoga classes (yin yoga).

Yoga classes are progressive, variations for different levels of practice and particular limitations are always offered.

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 one 90 minute meditative walk in nature, opening the senses and developing mindfulness.

A day 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.

Everyday there will be guided meditation sessions, in the morning. The best way to start 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.

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.

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.

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.

Explore the art of natural cosmetics with Katya, who for over 5 years has been transforming her lifestyle and making many natural and eco-friendly cosmetics for the whole family instead of buying them.

Why choose homemade natural cosmetics?

When you make your own beauty products, you have the power to choose every ingredient: only eco-friendly, biodegradable components that are kind to your skin and the planet. Plus, you are helping to reduce plastic packaging waste by reusing and recycling your containers over and over again.

Conscious care

This workshop goes beyond simple recipes you can make at home. It’s an invitation to connect with a conscious self-care practice, where each blend becomes an act of mindfulness and each product created represents a step toward personal self-sufficiency.

What you’ll create in the workshop:

Nourishing lip balm – natural hydration to protect your lips in fall and winter
Body lotion – deep nourishment for your skin
Bar soap – gentle, eco-friendly cleansing
Bar shampoo – package-free hair care
Natural cheek blush – to add color without chemicals
Additional surprises

All organic, natural, and biodegradable ingredients
Necessary materials and tools
Step-by-step guide with formulas tested at home and by many friends we’ve given gifts to over the past years
