Hill yOga

Full Description Programme & Price

Unlike going away for a weekend of laziness which can be wonderful in its own way, the combination of yoga and gentle hill walking makes the time slow down and you with it. Your body and mind will be given a proper chance to disconnect and take stock of things.

The peaceful surroundings at Trasierra make it the perfect place in which to practice yoga and stillness. A convivial atmosphere, delicious wholesome food prepared by Gioconda Scott (member of the slow food movement and star of 'Paradise Kitchen') along with fresh air and plenty of time to rest will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for anything!

The yoga I teach is Iyengar inspired, focusing on the correctness of the posture to attain its true benefits. I also aim to incorporate a flow between postures as a way to bring body and mind into harmony through a full and free breath. The morning practise tends to be uplifting and energizing whereas the evening practise focuses more on winding down and preparing for a good night's rest.
Practising yoga in conjunction with hill walks that tone the legs, build staming and open the lungs is really an ideal combination. The walks also happen to take in some of the most beautiful views in Southern Europe.

Dr. Shiva will be elevating all this to an even greater extent as he gives lectures on yoga philosophy, nutrition, workshops on laughing yoga and even tips in how to use yoga to improve your sex life! All in all the most complete retreat!

Daily walks in the surrounding hills of the Sierra Norte will be included in the program which will give you a chance to breathe in the fresh air to open the lungs and bring increased vitality to your body and mind.

This dream 3 day (4 nights) retreat is all offered at the introductory price of £600 per person based on two sharing £720 for a double room, £1000 for a suite.

The price includes accommodation, 3 delicious healthy meals a day, the hikes and two daily yoga sessions- one in the morning and one in the evening. Meditation and breathing exercises will be incorporated into the morning class. There will also be a cooking demonstration and nutrition talk during your stay.

There are also a range of treatments available at Trasierra: Ancient ‘thai’ massage, deep tissue massage, facials, reflexology. Other activities include riding, tennis, swimming, home cinema, extensive library and field trips into the local villages.
