Rooting down to lift up: Jivamukti Yoga & Hatha Retreat

with Gianni Sarracino and Andrea Visone

11^th Sep 2024 to 15^th Sep 2024 in Spain (4 days)

Rooting down to lift up, with steadiness and joy, as Patanjali says - form the baseline of our practice. Just as in asana practices, where grounding ourselves provides the foundation for soaring to greater heights, we learn to anchor ourselves in the present moment, cultivating stability and strength from within. Through a blend of dynamic Jivamukti Yoga sequences and fluid Hatha Vinyasa flows, you will watch the power of breath and movement to awaken your body, mind, and spirit.

In the tranquil oasis of Ashiyana Spain, surrounded by lush natural beauty, you will have the opportunity to slow down the pace of life and immerse yourself fully in the practice, meditation and pranayama. Take a step back and enjoy slow walks, endless nature, picturesque countryside, savour nourishing vegan cuisine crafted with love and mindfulness, replenishing your body with wholesome activities - on your own and with other like minded souls.

As you embrace the simplicity of this retreat, you will discover the transformative potential that lies in slowing down and focussing on meditation and your practice. In the gentle rhythm of each breath and the quiet whispers of nature, we will seek for moments of profound clarity and insight, guiding you towards a state of steadiness (shtira) and joy (sukham).
