Yoga Somatic & Meditacion Retreat
18-22 March 2020
With some aromatherapy and an ayuverdic approach.
About the venue
Hoya de Gualy is an authentic 19th century Spanish vineyard and farm that has belonged to the same family for generations. Although it no longer has a commercial use, the house, the workers’ quarters and the old wine and barrel pressing rooms are unchanged since Alvaro, the current owner, was a child. The house itself retains most of its original features and is a wonderful example of a Valencian country house. Both the house and the surrounding fields are located on top of the mountain, with beautiful peripheral views, which gives a wonderful feeling of peace and tranquility. In the evenings the silence and the option of not having artificial light around make it the perfect place for stargazing. The house has its own well and water supply and is fed through solar panels.

The Retreat
This Somatic Yoga retreat is suitable for all levels, does not require previous experience. It includes guided and unguided meditation (both optional). Casa Hoya de Hueli is the perfect place for this retreat and an opportunity for anyone who wants to disconnect from the urban trajín and rediscover their own balance and internal harmony. We will have time between classes to simply walk along the surrounding roads or walk to the swamp that can be seen from the house.
