Yoga and meditation classes

Throughout these retreats, you will be focusing on different guided meditations every day in the morning and evening to teach your mind to relax and focus on silence within. The aim is to help you return with a more positive and happy mindset.

There will be different series of yoga postures taught to you every day - both in the mornings and in the evenings - designed to slowly open up the whole body over five days so that by the last day of the retreat, every muscle within your body feels open, alive, relaxed, rejuvenated and energized.

"Free to do/attend" retreat

Note that all the classes are all optional during your yoga retreats. Yoga Sutra Shala wants you to develop at your own pace and they want you to enjoy your stay. They want you to enjoy your yoga retreats as much as possible, to become healthy in mind and body, to learn how to relax and deal with stress, and learn how to feel at one with yourself.

"Your yoga" structure

At your yoga retreat center, the aim is to help you develop your health, learn relaxation techniques and learn meditation to help you to deal with stress, and improve the quality of your life, your happiness, and your sense of well-being. On your yoga retreats, you will be taught meditation, asana (posture), chanting, and breathing techniques. All classes will be optional as you want to enjoy your stay and develop at your own pace.

Namit will be using his highly developed teaching system during each class at your yoga and meditation retreat at Yoga Sutra Shala to teach Vinyasa Yoga. The yoga retreat center will be run specifically as a shala - a place of refuge and a place to find inner peace. Your shala will be a perfect place to escape the stresses of the modern world and develop a sense of peace, calm, well-being, and happiness.

Guided walk

During this retreat, there will be one guided walk. In summer, when the days are warmer, the guided walk will take place in the early morning or late evening. During the winter season, midday to early evening is the best time to do the guided walk and catch the sun.

Get the most out of this retreat experience

Yoga Sutra Shala's experience of guests arriving late leads them to strongly advise you to come for the 6 days (5 nights), Sunday to Friday. On Sunday there will be a welcome dinner and introductions. This is the time that many good friendships begin and you have the opportunity to orientate yourself and rest from your journey. The first yoga and meditation class, on Sunday evening, provides an important foundation for you to build on for the rest of your week.

To get the most out of your retreat and fully enjoy the loving and peaceful family sentiment here, come for the whole retreat. If your available flights don't match the retreat times, you could stay a night in Alicante or Valencia before and/or after the retreat, or Yoga Sutra Shala could pass you the details of the building owners and you could ask them if a hotel stay is possible for a night before or after. If you decide to come for less time, be aware that your booking and cost would be as for the whole retreat and you may miss out on certain aspects of the retreat experience.
