8 Day Activities on the Mediterranean and Yoga Retreat in Tarragona, Catalonia
Camí Hort del Senyor, 6, 43893 Altafulla, Tarragona, Spain
Yoga Retreat Spain
Start your day with yoga, enjoy a delicious brunch after it, then you are in the right energy for the rest of the day! On some afternoons, we will go hiking along the beach or inland through protected pine forests. On other afternoons, we will do a recuperative yoga practice (Yin yoga or yoga with a focus on healing sounds, organs, glands, and chakras). In these sessions, we will also refine our breath and discuss interesting issues from yoga psychology and philosophy.
Every day, there will be enough time to experience local scenery and its beauty with all senses and fill up your body with new energy. The mild Mediterranean climate energizes body, mind, and soul all year round. Get to know a different Spain, away from mass tourism!

The beach is within walking distance!
The other is a family-run accommodation called Hotel Yola, it is located near to the beach. You may choose between single and double rooms as well as shared or private bathroom.

Instructors
Isabella Welsch
I was born in the late 60s in Salzburg, Austria. My father started teaching me yoga when I was an adolescent. Since then, the fascination of yoga has never faded and I had, in turn, started teaching yoga from 1990 onwards. I have been working as a psychotherapist in Vienna for many years. Of course, the perspective of western psychology influenced my approach to yoga and vice versa – the fruit of which is a yoga practice in which I connect with ease the east and the west, the old and the new.
Sonja Rogge
I am a lawyer and yoga teacher and completed my yoga training with Isabella Welsch in the years 2001–05 after having practiced yoga for over 10 years. Throughout this time, my practice has always been a source of calmness and strength, so I felt the desire to share that experience and knowledge with others. I have visited the Atha Yoga Retreat House in Altafulla several times, because besides the Mediterranean climate, I also appreciate the beautiful nature and like to explore new hiking trails along the coast and inland with Isabella. I’m looking forward to teaching and hiking with you!
