Ashtanga Yoga Bohemian Retreat – Ibiza, Spain – 2024

Welcome to The Ibiza Bohemian, a retreat that will reflect the true flavour and lifestyle of the White Isle. An authentic experience combined with the asthanga tradition carried forward by Laruga and her long experience, and with the meditation and dance practices that we will explore together, with long-standing teachers who refer to Indo-Buddhist methods. Participating in this retreat will allow you to live a community experience considering not only the limited number of participants but also the design of  Can Tanit which will allow each of YOU the right attention and the ideal space to grow.

The incredible energy of Ibiza activates a profound and magical transformative experience and invites you to rediscover the space within yourself and with the elements that surround you, to disconnect from the daily routine and go deeper into your very essence.

We have chosen the year such as Autumn in which the colours of the island change, in which Ayurveda encourages us to practice Yoga and Meditation and in a place that we will call home and which reflects the spirits of the Island and its inhabitants in a very central position to the main hidden gems of the island and away from the party scene.

THIS RETREAT IS DESIGNED FOR

This retreat is open to practitioners of all levels, offering an enriching experience for everyone.

WORKSHOP WITH LARUGA

In the afternoon, we will delve into workshops that explore all facets of the Ashtanga yoga methodology. These sessions will cover practical techniques and philosophical insights, providing valuable guidance on how to integrate yoga principles into daily life.

Ashtanga: The Path & The Journey
Through consistent practice, our time on the mat can transform into a work of art, creating stillness within motion. Reaching a state of flow involves uniting all internal elements and resting in awareness within our physical being. This workshop will explore how to create depth in the practice by developing conscious attention and strength throughout the body-mind. We’ll begin by eliminating excess, energy-draining movements and connecting with the downward and upward flows, known as prana and apana. This workshop will inspire you to explore and express the beauty of yoga in every movement and breath.

Core Integrity
In this workshop, delve into the essential network of the bandhas and core muscles, tuning into the central axis of the body. Understanding how to effectively engage the bandhas not only enhances lightness and stability in the body but also brings clarity to the mind. This session will help you connect more deeply with this often elusive aspect of Ashtanga yoga, making it accessible and beneficial for practitioners of all levels.

Ashtanga Transitions
Master the art of dynamic transitions with this workshop focused on the jump-back and jump-through techniques of the Ashtanga practice. While these movements can be challenging, they don’t have to be elusive. We’ll break down the components, providing practical tools to build inner strength and fluidity. Discover how the primary series prepares you for these transitions and experiment with jumping into and out of various postures, enhancing your ability to move gracefully and adaptively.

Inversions and Spatial Awareness
Inversions offer a unique blend of restorative, exhilarating, and challenging experiences. This workshop will guide you through a progressive approach to mastering inversions, starting with basic poses and advancing to more demanding ones. Learn essential techniques and good practices to establish a solid foundation, helping you build strength and spatial awareness as you navigate the challenges of practising upside down.
