Instructors
Tara Indra
Tara's life changed when she started to take care of her body, mind, and soul. BodyWork for the physical temple you reside in, which holds all of our life’s experiences in the tissues. Kundalini technology tames the mind and clears out patterns, and Tarot reflection opens new doors and ways of thinking, allowing your intuition to speak louder than your mind. She supports you to support yourself. Once she found the tools that worked to liberate her from her constraints, her purpose became to share them.
Victor Sakshin
A singer of dhrupad (the oldest and most meditative form of Hindustani classical music), yoga teacher and Ayurvedic therapist specializing in subtle therapy through Vedic astrology (jyotisha). After completing a bachelor's and master's degree in Philosophy, since 2008 he has been fully dedicated to the practice, study and teaching of integral yoga (focusing especially on meditation through mantras and ecstatic music), the perennial wisdom and the link between yoga and Ayurveda therapy through group and individual sessions, courses, workshops, concerts and experiential retreats in Spain
