Yoga & Meditation Retreat

This week-long retreat will be full of yoga, meditation, inquiry, yoga nidra, pranayama and restorative sessions to bring you more peace, awareness, strength and stability in both your body and mind.

There will be a maximum of 24 people on the retreat.

It takes place in the beautiful surroundings of the D’alijo centre, surrounded by nature with stunning views, tranquil gardens, great hiking trails, leading you to rivers, waterfalls and natural pools.

Wake up to the mountain views enjoying the special energy of the early morning as Esther guides you through meditation.

When the weather supports it, some of the Meditation and Pranayama sessions can be taught outside in nature with the stunning views of the valley.

After breakfast, we will continue with a mindful flowing yoga practice that focuses on loosening the body as well as strengthening and stabilizing the body and easing the mind. Everybody can work at their own level.

After lunch we’ll have a break where you can relax by the swimming pool, rest in your cabin or go for walks in the beautiful surroundings of the centre.

In the late afternoon we come together for some more yoga and awareness practices. The afternoon focus will be on deeply relaxing and restoring the body and mind while beginning to open to the mystery of the present moment, which is made so easy in this beautiful place.

The day will end with a lovely dinner and a beautiful dessert. Please visit the Dalijo website to view pictures of the centre, its facilities, and stunning surroundings. D’alijo Yoga Retreat Centre
