AWAKENED HEART RETREAT: SPAIN -

yoga & nature immersion

June 11-18, 2022

Invite celebration and the radiant spirit of Summer into your being! Awaken the natural luminosity of your heart and let your body soar in song and light atop the magnificent peaks of the Pyrenees! Join us for an incredible  journey to Northern Spain where we will practice yoga and hike in the extraordinary mountains of Aragon, Spain.

Summer is associated with the fire element which rules the heart and awakens expansive energy and bliss. Immerse yourself in a week of yoga, meditation, and hiking to awaken the joyous heart and balance the Fire element, Pitta Dosha. Nourish your body and mind with yoga sequences designed to release tension, stress, and habitual holding patterns in the shoulders, chest, and body so that you can open the pathway to the joyful and loving nature of the awakened heart. Infused with the wisdom of Chinese Medicine Meridians and Ayurveda self-care practices, this week-long yoga immersion will unveil the lightness of being that is in harmony with the spirit of Summer abundance.

THE RETREAT CENTER

Perched in a sweet valley in the midst the magnificence of the Spanish Pyrenees, Casa Cuadrau is an extraordinary place to retreat from the busyness of your life and renew your being. Imagine after an invigorating and blissful morning yoga class rolling out of your savasana and looking out the window to see this magnificent view of the sun rising over the Pyrenees and the sweet village of Vió.

Casa Cuadrau is located in a majestic corner of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, within the Sobrarb-Pyrenees Geopark. The environment is one of the most biodiverse in Europe. Located on an elevated and open valley surrounded by beautiful mountains wherever you look, it is found in a very small remote village called Vió. Embraced by the stillness and exquisite beauty of this oasis, we will immerse ourselves in the practices of yoga, meditation, and hiking.

The yoga studio at Casa Cuadrau with stunning views of the mountains on all sides is an incredible oasis of calm in which to reconnect with yourself and rejuvenate your body and mind.
