Return to Self Retreat on the Magical Island of Ibiza.
The theme for the week is Return to Self. This will be explored within our flows, our meditations and even our workshops.

Stewart Gilchrist Workshop weekend. Explore the 7 Chakra system with 4 sessions that blend asana, pranayama and philosophy.
Backbending, or rather full body bending, as we often use much more than just our spine, is an integral part of any asana practice.
Those of us who experience tightness in the back often either skim this part of our practice or avoid it altogether. Others, ignore the practice of Yamas and Niyamas, those attitudes and behaviors that epitomize the spirit of yoga, and refuse to listen to the bodies wisdom while grasping for a ‘deeper’ opening. The result of both is that we stop practicing with awareness and breath.
In a backbend focused class we will look at various poses and explore how to come into them in safe and mindful way. With particular attention of using the yogic breath to create both comfort and control in any backbend.
We will also consider the importance of opening the middle and upper back as opposed to just the lower back, which is where many of us feel strain or discomfort in our practice.
Essentially the goal of the class is to find value the health and integrity of your body more than the glory of a deeper backbend by highlighting the primary function of the pose—the opening—more than the final shape or form of the posture.
Vinyasa means to move with breath but how many of us are correctly using the transitions to build heat and re-align the spine?
Learning the techniques of how to 'jump through' and 'jump back' is crucial to building more strength and stability in our asana practice, And later helps to build the core needed for more advanced postures like handstand.
An in depth look at using bandha, breath and movement cohesively together to create both stability and ease in your practice.
Students will explore useful exercises and drills to gain strength and then apply them to inversions, arm balances and common transitions.
