Transport not includedCozy Winter Yoga Break: The Silence Before the Bloom
Late February is a season of quiet preparation. While the world outside begins to stir, the Navarre Pyrenees remain a sanctuary of stillness. This Cozy Winter Yoga Break is a dedicated space to stop the “doing” and return to “being.” It is an invitation to inhabit your own life again.
Guided by a Psychologist from Saint Louis University (Missouri) with 40 years of practice, we combine modern wellness science with deep Hatha and Kundalini traditions to help you shed the weight of winter and find a new, internal clarity.
What this Retreat offers (Value Proposition)
- Medieval Sanctuary: Stay in our 13th-century Palace, Casa Marterena. Rebuilt stone by stone, its thick walls and roaring fireplace provide the physical sense of safety your nervous system needs to truly let go.
- The Power of Irati: Mindful walks through the misty beechwoods of the Irati Forest. The crisp February air acts as a natural tonic, clearing mental fatigue and sharpening the senses.
- Energy & Vitality: Sessions of Hatha Vinyasa and Kundalini Yoga designed to awaken the body’s internal fire and release the physical tension of a long winter.
- Vibrational Healing: Deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra and sound baths (Gong or Drum) to access the subconscious layers where stress is stored.
- Ayurvedic Soul Food: Organic, vegetarian meals designed to ground and nourish the body, prepared with fresh produce from our local lands.
