In this December Long Weekend Retreat, you will immerse yourself in a rich experience combining deep Yoga practice with self-inquiry, exploring the psychological foundations, habits, and nutrition of Ayurveda.
We will integrate elements of Iyengar Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, and the principles of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Every individual yearns for happiness, health, and wholeness, but there are no shortcuts or leaps of faith to achieve these goals. Yoga, combined with meditation and Ayurveda, provides a solid foundation to understand ourselves and charts a clear path to living in a way that supports the healing process and rearticulates our personal story.
How do Yoga and Ayurveda define health and illness? These approaches differ from allopathic medicine. In Sanskrit, the concept of “Swastha” translates as “Established in the Self.” Imbalance in a human being occurs when they deviate from their essential nature. Through Yoga, meditation, and the fundamental principles of Ayurveda, we will establish a guiding framework that helps participants design a life sadhana (daily practice), enabling them to live a life filled with joy, authentic prosperity, purpose, and freedom.
Highlighted activities:
- Two daily Yoga classes, each lasting 1.5 hours, covering Iyengar Yoga, Restorative, Hatha Yoga, and Tantra Yoga.
- Meditations and Pranayamas (conscious breathing).
- Two daily sessions of philosophy and Ayurveda theory.
- Nature practices to center awareness in the heart space (Madhya), with 1-2 sessions.
- Ayurvedic Sattvic meals designed to balance the doshas. Allergies and intolerances are taken into account, although specific pathologies are not addressed through nutrition in this retreat. For that, we recommend a private consultation.
- All our retreats are taught in Spanish with English translation.
The retreat will be led by Pablo Ferrero, a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher with diplomas in Yogic Studies from the University of Pune and the Bihar School of Yoga in India. He is also an osteopath and a specialist in Ayurvedic massage and nutrition, a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism and Shaivite Tantra, with experience in retreats and courses in the Indian Pre-Himalayas and Nepal.
