Program
Yoga to balance your biorhythms
Hatha yoga is a part of the yoga tradition. In this tradition, work with the body and meditation is an important part of it. Here is included a systematic schedule of practice across the most important relaxin meditations and breath practices, within the context of a philosophy that is both pragmatic and transcendental, to prepare you in every way to reduce your stress condition.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra literally means yogic sleep. It is an ancient technique where the practitioner enters a deep state of conscious relaxation. It is a systematic practice of moving awareness from the external world to the inner world. It brings you to a state of deep sleep where your senses, intellect, and mind relax.
Family constellation and guide visualizations
It is an important technique to release old limiting beliefs and mental patterns that are repeated, all of which generate internal tensions that prevent you from living with confidence and tranquility in your daily life.
Holistic balance workshops
On the other hand, these yoga practices are combined with holistic balance workshops, whose dynamics try to develop awareness and exploration of these energy centers in an easy and relaxed way. Balance dual energies, restoring inner peace and deep states of relaxation of body and mind through simple practices, resulting in a wonderful inner balance. Ideal for enjoying yoga and the charms of this magnetic Mediterranean coastline.

Retreat location
Benirrama is situated north of Vall de Gallinera and is regarded as the very northern part of the Costa Blanca coastline. The sun is said to shine here 320 days a year. Gallinera Valley and Ondara are divided by the Segaria mountain – said to resemble a sleeping elephant. The area is certainly spectacular and offers a number of walking routes. Benirrama is in the mountains very close to the coast, 20 minutes by car, and is of very high quality. Every year the beaches are awarded the European Blue Flag for their water quality and clean fine sand. You can enjoy the mountain views and paths and at the same time, the beaches are very close.
The Gallinera Valley is a nature area, a beautiful valley formed of eight villages, namely Benirrama, Benialí, Benisivá, Benitaia, La Carroja, Alpatró, Llombai, and Benissili. These enchanting villages are situated along the banks of the river Gallinera, nestled among Les Solanes, El Almirante, and Foradà mountains. A landscape that is defined by the wildest nature.
This part of the coast, close to Oliva is protected including the natural dunes, caves, plants, and wildlife. A footpath allows you to walk from Denia Marina all the way to the lighthouse which is a few kilometers.
