Yoga classes are Vinyasa based (connecting breath with movement in a dynamic flow). Inspired by many forms of Yoga from Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga, she integrates a variety of qualities in her teachings. Cultivating strength, flexibility & alignment through dynamic and strengthening asanas as well as deep release with more restorative and passive asanas. There is a focus on cultivating stillness and inner listening as you are guided to direct your awareness and breath into the body to release unnecessary tensions. With Yoga Flow get ready to feel invigorated, with greater peace, balance and an overall wellbeing in your body, mind & spirit.
Playful Connection: During these sessions we invite playful forms of interaction as we explore movement and expression through different dynamics and fun exercises through Acroyoga which blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. A practice that goes beyond the technique and cultivates trust, playfulness, and community. Classes will be accesible for everyone, as we will design the classes based on everyones level so from the most beginner to advanced practitioner will be able to learn and meet their edge in a fun and playful space
Somatic practices are a way of observing and exploring ourselves through sensations, movements, perceptions,emotions and the natural surroundings. these will be mindful and interactive exercises related to the body, movement and breath as ways to raise our level of curiosity, perception and sensitivity.
Thai Massage also know as 'ancient healing touch' is more then just a massage, it is a dance between giver and receiver, conecting to loving kindness, working on the many layers of the body through the energy lines and your own presence. We will be sharing with you the essence of the practice, the principles as well as a variety of techniques that will support you in your sensitivity, healing touch and your own unique dance of giving thai massage. We will also be taking you through therapeautic flying wonderland and exporing the many ways you can lengthen, twist, sretch and massage someone flying.
We are seeing that not only movement/ body practices allow us to express and connect with our Essence (our Truth) but also the power of sound, voice and music that is the primordial vibration of our existence.
In this week of movement explorations we are bringing together some incredible Ibiza talent of musicians for an evening experiences cultivating the fire in our hearts through Kirtan and delighting the soul with healing sounds and ecstatic dance.
These are some of the possible evening events that will be offered at our retreats: Chakra Sound healing Journey, Kiran, Ecstatic Dance, 5Rhythms, Live musicians and hang concert……

Also leave some space for the unexpected, that which arises in the moment as from this space is where many beautiful experiences arise.
