Yoga & Meditation Retreats in the Navarrese Pyrenees
A Sanctuary for the Soul
Reclaim Your Peace in a 13th-Century Palace Near the Irati Forest
Sometimes, the Most Productive Thing You Can Do is Pause
In a world driven by agendas and notifications, it is easy to lose the sound of your own voice. You may call it exhaustion, tiredness, or simply “being busy,” but your soul knows it as a longing for silence.
At our restored 13th-century Palace, nestled at the gateway to the Irati Forest, we offer more than a simple pause—we offer a return to your true self. Guided by a Yogi and Psychologist with 40 years of yoga and meditation practice, our retreats bridge the gap between clinical insight and spiritual depth. Here, we help you dissolve the weight of modern stress and gently rediscover your inherent serenity.

Carmen’s Story: From Exhaustion to Inner Radiance
Carmen arrived with the weight of a thousand “to-dos” on her shoulders. Her sleep was shallow, her mind was a whirlwind of worries, and her body felt like a stranger. She came seeking a weekend away; she left with a new way of living.
Through the soft rhythm of mindful walks under the ancient canopy of the Pyrenees and the gentle guidance of our meditation sessions, Carmen stopped “doing” and started “being.” The noise faded. The internal pressure dissolved. She didn’t just find rest—she found herself.

A Unique Yoga Retreat in Nature
At our yoga retreat, we honor the individuality of each participant, understanding that everyone experiences the journey in their own way. During meditation sessions, we offer clear foundational guidance while also welcoming those who prefer to follow their own meditation style. We believe that diversity of approaches enriches the practice and supports personal growth on a deeper level.
When it comes to asana practice, we offer guidance at three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each participant is encouraged to choose the variation that best suits their experience and physical condition. If we notice that a posture is being practiced unsafely, we gently recommend a more accessible option to prevent injury. Your safety and well-being are always our highest priority during our yoga and meditation retreats.
A Journey of Meditation and Self-Discovery
Food plays an essential role in our yoga and meditation retreats. Inspired by traditional ashram life, we offer a conscious, nourishing, and balanced diet. Our menu is vegetarian and gluten-free, with the inclusion of select dairy products such as goat cheese.
We take great pride in the quality of our food, using ingredients from our own garden whenever possible, as well as from trusted local organic farms. Every meal is prepared with care, so that each bite becomes a nourishing and enjoyable experience for both body and mind.
Historic Accommodation with Modern Comfort
Staying at our retreat center is an experience in itself. The retreat takes place in a 13th-century Navarrese manor house, lovingly restored just over a decade ago. During the renovation, great care was taken to preserve the original structure and traditional furnishings of the Navarrese Pyrenees, honoring the history passed down through generations.
Each room combines modern comforts with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, allowing you to feel truly at home while fully immersed in your retreat experience.
Your Ideal Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Whether you are looking for a weekend yoga retreat, a longer holiday retreat, or a meditation retreat available throughout the year, our center offers a personalized approach and thoughtful attention to every detail.
If you seek a meaningful experience in a historical setting surrounded by natural beauty, this is the perfect place for you.
We warmly invite you to join us and live a truly unique retreat experience — we look forward to welcoming you with open arms.
