Summer Retreat 2025
La Serrania, Mallorca
28th June - 5th July
Yoga is the journey towards inner stillness. A gift from ancient times that provides us with a map to navigate our daily challenges and to find balance in an increasingly fast paced world. A retreat provides a sacred and unique space through which we can deepen our relationship with our practice and cultivate inner transformation and a movement towards peace.
Set in the foothills of the Serra De Tramuntana Mountains in Northern Mallorca, La Serrania is a beautiful retreat centre surrounded by nature and an energy of tranquility. I've been visiting this magical island for over 40 years and am always in awe of its beauty and natural splendour.
Our time together will provide an opportunity for you to unwind, slow down, rejuvenate and reap the benefits of connecting to your yoga practice. Through daily practice & reflection, silent mornings, slow and restful days, swimming in the pool, nourishing vegetarian and vegan food we'll be able to find our way towards balance, fresh insights and transformation.
I'd love to welcome you to this wonderful island, beautiful retreat setting and support you on your journey
Our Location
The retreat centre is a 40 minute taxi ride from Palma de Mallorca Airport in a mountain region declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Spacious grounds in a stunning natural setting provide the perfect setting for this retreat. There are plenty of nooks and spaces to find quiet time in solitude as well as indoor and outdoor communal areas for gathering. The pool offers an opportunity to cool down and another vantage point for the stunning views. All rooms have the benefit of en-suite bathrooms.
Our Practice
The retreat will be led by Daryn who trains, practices and teaches within the tradition of the great yogi Sri T Krishnamacharya. This is essentially a breath based Hatha Yoga style of practice that is deeply grounded in the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Practice honours the capacity of each individual, focussing on cultivating comfort, stability and peace in our bodies, breath and minds. Perfecting, striving and achieving are de-emphasised whilst compassion, kindness and inner witnessing towards and of ourselves is encouraged. There is also a strong focus on the breath both in movement and as a practice in its own right as well as various forms of meditation. We'll also take time each day to understand and reflect on yoga philosophy bringing it to life in a way that helps us to improve our day to day experience of life.
Suitable for all levels of practitioners (beginners to experienced).
Our mat practice will take place in the yoga shala overlooking the mountains but informal sessions will also take place in and around the grounds. Our daily practices will include:
Asana, pranayama and meditation practices each day in the morning and evening
Talks covering key philosophical aspects of yoga that we can use practically in our lives
Meditation
Journalling
Group discussions and sharing
Time in nature
Silent mornings
Accommodation & Food
