You Are Nature: Jivamukti Yoga Retreat
with Gianni & Andrea
In yogic terms, nature is revered as Prakriti. In Prakriti all life emerges.
Yet in the pace of modern living, we often forget this truth. When we lose touch with the rhythms of the earth, we lose touch with ourselves. We separate ourselves.
This retreat is an invitation to remember: to return to the default harmony between body, breath, and the living world around you, and to rise with renewed steadiness, clarity, and purpose.
With a focus on the practices framed by Jivamukti Yoga, this immersive experience brings together dynamic asana practice, alignment-focused workshops, meditation, yin yoga, chanting, and philosophy study.
Yoga Teacher Training
The Ashiyana Training School has been running trainings since 2010. With hundreds of graduates from all across the world, we are globally recognised for our unique approach to Yoga and Wellbeing. Our yoga teacher training is so much more than just a training, and many view them as self-development courses that equip you with essential life skills at a time when self-responsibility is dwindling, and there is a corresponding explosion in chronic, lifestyle diseases.
We strongly believe that the world needs many more Yoga teachers, as well as more wellbeing practitioners in general. However, we also recognise that precisely what these practitioners offer needs to evolve with our fast-changing times. We invite you therefore to consider how you might create a differentiated offer from what is already available, as well as a more holistic offer that better addresses the lifestyle guidance that your clients are so much in need of.

200HR Yoga Teacher Training (3 week intensive, 30th Aug)
Charlotte & Tobie
At Ashiyana, we believe that the most important aspect of teaching today is that you are able to express yourself from an open heart, discovering your inner peace and therefore having the capacity to truly give of yourself. We wish to create self-empowered teachers, who teach intuitively instead of merely following our or someone else’s ideas…
It is not necessary that you go on to teach yoga after this course, our intention is to inspire you to be more of yourself – authentic, confident, loving, clear, and flowing with life. In this way, you will discover even more about your divine purpose here on earth.

Ashiyana Coach Training (online) - ‘The Yoga teacher of the future’
Chris, Tobie, Charlotte and other members of our wellbeing team
We are very excited to offer this training which has been seven years in the making. Chris, Tobie, Charlotte and others in the team have been discussing the need for a whole new approach to yoga teaching and coaching that meets the needs of today’s client. There are hundreds of thousands of yoga teachers, and multiple types of coach, but none of them are being trained to work in a way that embraces the whole of the human lifestyle. Yoga is the perfect system for today’s challenges, but it’s true expression has mostly been lost. Life is complex and stressful for so many of us these days, and there is a profound need for a support system which centres on holistic wellbeing experts who are both full of compassion and also supported by an on and offline ecosystem.
We have created a training that merges the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern therapeutic techniques and cutting edge science. We offer this as an on and offline course – 150hr online, plus a 50hr module at one of our centres. This offline module will take the form of a practicum which allows us to assess you face to face and give the feedback and guidance that will ensure the best possible version of YOU as a coach.
Retreat Accommodation
Accommodation in Catalunya
Your wellbeing journey deserves restful sleep.
Chic, comfortable rooms in soulful, natural settings. Thoughtfully designed, sacred spaces providing the ultimate hideaways for relaxation and reflection. Find your perfect home within our wide range of en-suite accommodation. Yoga Holiday prices include accommodation, two daily meals and yoga classes.
A room for every taste
7 double/twin bedrooms, 1 double, 2 singles, and 2 beautiful suites give us accommodation for up to 25 guests; split between the main building and nearby villas.
The main accommodation is within the old hotel, dating back to the 1960s. From the high ceiling’d reception area and living rooms we have a marvellous visual history of the Sau reservoir; the reservoir flooded the tiny village of Sao Roma de Sau, forcing the family to move higher up the hillside and build Hotel La Riba.
The old church is still visible, with its spire protruding out of the water, creating the iconic image of the area.
PRIVATE CLASSES
1 To 1 Coaching & Yoga
Many of our senior team are now based here in Ashiyana Spain, and we are delighted to offer you one to one sessions of Yoga, breathwork, meditation and coaching.
Ashiyana Guide Session
Ashiyana Guide Session is our signature treatment at Ashiyana Goa. With 1 to 1 Yoga-based therapy sessions, our expert therapists work with you to gain a deeper understanding of your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, and then create a bespoke practice for you to take away.
One to one Yoga
An ideal opportunity to work 1 to 1 with one of our experienced Yoga teachers for postural correction, breath awareness and guided meditation. Whether you are new to Yoga and wish to gain a better understanding of the basics, or you would like to explore a particular asana, our teachers will guide you safely. This can often be very beneficial to help you get the most out of our group classes.
One to one meditation
Meditation has enormous benefits for the body, mind and spirit - including releasing bodily tension, easing the mind, and becoming clearer about your heart-felt desires.
Learn how to incorporate this powerful spiritual practice into your life through a guided 1 to 1 session with one of our expert teachers.
One to one breathwork
Pranayama originates from two Sanskrit words; ‘Prana’ (Life force) and ‘Ayam’ (Control), and is one of the eight limbs of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Known to be beneficial for treating a range of stress-related physical disorders by balancing the autonomic nervous system, Pranayama also helps to calm and balance a busy, distracted mind.
Experience the power of your full breath (most people under-breathe) and explore some of the various other breathwork techniques used for cleansing, purification and rebalancing, such as Nadi Shodhana, under the guidance of one of our expert teachers.

FORESTS, MOUNTAINS & TRAILS NEAR OUR YOGA RETREAT IN SPAIN
Nature
There are hundreds of hectares of wild, forested land for you to discover. Numerous trails begin close to the centre and criss-cross the mountains and valleys all around us. You’ll discover rivers, waterfalls, ancient Roman bridges, medieval churches and chapels, a Buddhist monastery, and the famous, ancient La Riba church spire projecting out of the Sau reservoir. You could spend weeks here and never walk the same trail!
At Ashiyana we believe that relaxing deeply, and coming home to yourself, is the most important aspect of retreating with us. Ashiyana is an Indian word that means safe ‘home’; in Farsi it means ‘nest’. Our intention is to hold you in a loving embrace, and part of this is provided for by the stunning and majestic scenery that surrounds us.
One of the first landmarks you’ll notice as you drive through the mountains to reach us, is the Sau reservoir, and the huge dam that holds it back, thus providing water and electricity to the three million inhabitants of Barcelona and the surrounding area.
Activities
We are blessed with having just about every form of adventure sport and activity available on our doorstep – hiking, cycling, Nordic walking, kayaking, SUP, Water biking (Yes, cycling a water-bike-board!), slack-line, archery, ballooning, climbing and rappelling, white water rafting and so much more. We are on the doorstep of various national parks, so there is no limit to Mother Nature’s treasures, near and far.
Let us know which activities interest you and we’ll tailor make a program for you.
