A Soulful Easter: Trade the Crowds for Inner Calm

Easter is often a season of rush, but the mountains offer a different rhythm. While the world outside gets louder, the Navarre Pyrenees invite you into a sanctuary of ancient stone and spring mist. This Easter Yoga Holiday (April 1–5) is a 5-day immersion designed to help you decompress from the first quarter of the year and align your energy with the rising vitality of Spring.

Guided by a Psychologist from Saint Louis University (Missouri) and a Yogi with 40 years of practice in yoga and meditation, this retreat provides a rare balance of clinical wellness and spiritual depth. It is a space for anyone feeling the weight of a busy life to finally stop, breathe, and return home to themselves.

Why this Easter Holiday is a True Reset

• The Medieval Sanctuary: Reside in our 13th-century Palace, Casa Marterena. Surrounded by an 11th-century tower and sweeping green valleys, the palace offers a physical sense of “grounding” that helps quiet a stressed mind.
• Irati Forest Outing: We include a special journey into the Irati Forest, Europe’s second-largest beech and fir woodland. Mindful walking here is more than exercise; it is “Forest Medicine” that regulates the nervous system.
• Holistic Energy Work: Daily Hatha and Kundalini sessions specifically sequenced to release chronic tension and awaken the spine, paired with Yoga Nidra for deep cellular rest.
• Professional Guidance: Our psychological workshops offer practical tools to help you navigate stress and maintain your newfound balance once you return to your daily routine.
• Nourishing Earth-to-Table Food: Enjoy full board organic vegetarian cuisine. Inspired by Ayurvedic principles, our meals are cooked with love using produce from the Navarre region to support your body’s renewal.

Retreat Essentials

A natural setting where time slows down

The retreat unfolds in a unique medieval enclave with a 13th-century building and an 11th-century tower, surrounded by mountains and green valleys. Life becomes simple: wake to birdsong, practise yoga, chat by the fire, wander among centenary trees.

Irati’s paths, streams and pure air become allies to meditation. Walking in silence here is transformative — a highlight participants often remember most.

Benefits that last beyond the retreat

• Noticeable stress reduction and deep calm
• A felt connection with nature through forest bathing and mindful hikes
• Restful sleep supported by Yoga Nidra
• More energy and vitality with daily yoga and pranayama
• Personal and spiritual growth in a safe, small group
