While the physical and mental benefits of yoga are widely acknowledged, the profound impact it has on the nervous system often goes overlooked. Yet, this relationship is truly fascinating and holds tremendous benefits for our overall well-being.
The nervous system plays a pivotal role in regulating every aspect of your body and mind – from the simplest of actions like breathing to the most complex cognitive functions such as speech. Yoga offers a pathway to balance and equilibrium, empowering you to navigate life with poise and grace. It serves as a powerful tool for restoring harmony, countering moments of agitation and anxiety with a sense of spiritual calm and tranquility.
In this retreat, you'll have the opportunity to experience first-hand the transformative effects of yoga on your nervous system. Through guided movement sessions, invigorating yoga classes, and calming pranayama exercises, you'll embark on a journey to cultivate inner peace and balance.
To complement your retreat experience, indulge in delicious vegetarian meals crafted by their talented chef.
You will experience a heart-centered hike to a waterfall, connecting to nature, with a delicious picnic lunch.
Ellen took her first yoga classes at age 14. At that age, she wanted to become a vet. After that, she was a bit distracted for about 30 years by doing a master's in psychology and a doctorate in Information Systems at Harvard and MIT, and working for many years in the academic and consulting world. From 2005 on, she started to focus again on what life was really about and educated herself in healing techniques. In 2008, she left her academic career as an Associate Professor of Information Systems to dedicate herself to building Alaya Retreat Center at Masia Cal Pau Cruset near Barcelona.
Born in Belarus, Alex Nairanovski’s spiritual journey began early. In the USA, he discovered Kundalini yoga’s magnetic pull, honing his skills under Anya Castellano. Immersed in the diverse culture, he made Kundalini energy universally accessible. Alex later took this transformative power to Ecuador, establishing himself as a Yoga teacher in Quito. Today, he continues to travel, teach, and learn, spreading Kundalini Yoga’s light through online platforms, retreats, and collaborations. Alex has been teaching in Alaya since summer 2023 and currently is the resident yoga teacher.
Mirjana came straight from India where she completed all her trainings and the biggest part of her yoga journey. From this holy land she brings the traditional practices such as Hatha yoga and Yoga Nidra, combined with the more modern Yin and Restorative yoga.

She speaks and leads classes in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
