A Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat on the Atlantic Coast in South Tenerife. Disconnect and recharge your energy!

Location: Alcalá, South Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain)

Introduction

Join us for the Breathe & Bliss Retreat, made for digital detox and disconnection. The retreat is set just next to the Atlantic Ocean in exotic nature environments with the accommodation of a rural house (finca), where you have the opportunity to completely concentrate on yourself and your personal development without distractions. We've created a variety of activities that are ideal for unwinding, stepping away from the daily grind, and focusing on only Yourself. Indulge with a balanced diet and the rural houses' surroundings of banana plantations, the Atlantic Ocean, and stunning sunsets that will detox you and energize your overall wellbeing. The theme of this retreat is Disconnection in times of hyperconnection!

We live in a world full of distractions, fostering a "rollercoaster of emotions"

We interact faster and faster in this world. People around us demanding attention, computers and monitors being always accessible, noises, images, videos, the "life" on social media, and other energy draining stimulants that get our attention. Do you recognize these?

The quantity of these stimulants keep increasing every year, as we get connected into more groups on social media, and we get thinking that we want more all the time. We travel more, we interact more. The more places we see, the better and more thrilling experiences we have, we want to learn more, understand more, be part of it all.

Without realizing, we are conditioned to a state of perpetual hyperstimulation, a rollercoaster of emotions, varying degrees of attentional dispersion, and perhaps at times, the abundance of the modern world that overwhelms us to consider the strain in today's society, identifying opportunities for development and discover practical methods for daily life.

The purpose of "Disconnection in Times of HyperConnection" is to reflect on the stress of contemporary society, identify areas for change, acquire practical skills for everyday living, and discover common grounds.

So how can we disengage in the modern world?

  • How do we detach in this society that is constantly stimulating?
  • In the era of nonstop entertainment, is it possible to learn how to meditate?
  • How can we maintain calm at times of heightened activities?

Join us to connect with yourself and the natural world around you as you break free from your daily routine and harmful habits. You will learn to release your mind from societal pressure through Yoga, Healing sounds, Massages, and Workshops, which will also help you to reduce tension and anxiety. You will simply learn and get back to being here and now.

Renowned, experienced professors will lead the retreat with the following activities

Yoga

Yoga provides you with all the tools you need to enhance your quality of life and gain a deeper comprehension of reality.Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that uses breathing to link the body, mind, and spirit. Yogasanas, the physical component of the practice, will assist you in developing greater flexibility, balance, and strength. A yogic lifestyle, however, entails changing our attitudes, routines, meals, thoughts, and general ways of living to be more consistent with the tenets and ethics of yoga. Yoga is more than just physical exercises - it is a way of living that will guide you to inner peace and harmony, and ultimately to a fulfilling life of liberty, joy, and love. We will engage in a variety of yoga practices, ranging from the most active (Vinyasa Flow and Power Yoga) to the most passive and restorative (Yin Yoga and meditation). Each session includes relaxation, asanas (physical postures), pranayama, and meditation. As we offer variants of each posture, all yoga sessions are for different skill levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners.

Sound Healing

Discover Harmonic Singing, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Quartz Singing Bowls, Native American Flutes, Shruti Box, Shamanic Drum, Monochord, Indian Tampura, Rav Vast Drum, chamanic drums, and harmonic sounds, among other Ancestral Instruments, to experience the power of sound and open your heart.
You will "bathe" in the sounds and vibrations made throughout this healing and contemplative experience.
The vibrational energy of sound is a portal to our wellbeing, enhancing our connection, lining up the chakras, renewing tissues and cells, lowering stress levels, and achieving a state of total relaxation of the body and mind.

Thai Massage

The well-known Thai Massage is extremely similar to Thai Yoga Massage. The main distinction is that it emphasizes on yoga-like stretches. The goals of the yoga therapist include stress relief, increased flexibility, and muscle relaxation. The real purpose of Thai yoga massage, despite the fact that the muscles are stretched and palpated, is to open up the flow of energy throughout the body. This style of massage is influenced by Ayurvedic medical techniques. Your circulatory, lymphatic, and neurological systems may move freely when pathways are unblocked. Your internal systems should be in harmony with one another after receiving a Thai yoga massage.

Qigong

Chi-Kung or Qigong, is an ancient Chinese movement activity that integrates physical exercise, breathg control, and mental training. Qigong is a meditation and healing practice that has been part of traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. The benefits of Qigong include reducing stress and anxiety, improving concentration, and improving balance and flexibility. It may even reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Qigong is slow and methodical, flows from one movement to the next, and is easy for almost anyone to practice. Yoga on the other hand, tends to be done at a moderate to fast pace, involves vigorous movements sustained for a period of time, and requires some athletic ability.

Candle Workshop

In this workshop you will learn the basics of candle making. Learn the basics of essential oil blending and have fun creating your own scented candles. At the end of the workshop, new candles are used for tratak. Tratak is a Sanskrit word meaning 'see, see'. It is one of the meditation methods to look at a specific object. Practice while looking at a candle flame. It is a very effective exercise for developing mental focus and concentration. Tratak Meditation improves awareness, concentration and focus and is great for stress relief. This practice will help you feel more balanced emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Coaches & Practicioners

Sara〢Yoga & Meditation

I have always been very empathetic. I listened to the problems of my friends since I was very young and try to help them, from a very young age. I loved to dance, so I practiced ballet from the age of 3 to 18. This taught me how to use my body and how to coordinate my movements. I also learned to commit to my practices with discipline and to be passionate about what I do. This led me to Yoga. Yoga has been a way to keep moving my body after quitting ballet classes and is also a perfect way to reduce stress and anxiety.

When I moved to Australia I began to attend classes regularly and develop an interest and commitment to meditation and Vinyasa. But I soon found that yoga was more than a practice, it was a way of life. After years of taking classes, I embarked on a quest to better understand what it all meant. My journey to become a vinyasa yoga teacher first took me to Bali where I completed a 200 hour training in Ubud. Not surprisingly, in the next step of the journey I ended up in the birthplace of yoga, namely Rishikesh, where I completed my training with the certification of 300 hours of RYS.

Marta Cabrera〢Candle Workshop

My name is Marta. I am a certified yoga teacher and work as a photographer and graphic designer in Byron Bay (Australia). I originally studied chemistry and western herbalism and am a strong believer in the body's ability to heal itself. I first encountered yoga in 2012 in Madrid. Yoga changed my life. I quit your job and began on a trip around the world. I practiced a bit here and there, but it wasn't until I moved to Australia that I started attending classes regularly and developing an interest in yoga and meditation. Regular practice strengthened my mental connection and body awareness, toned my muscles and healed me. I truly believe in the power of movement and embodiment through practice.

Benjamin Scharf〢Thai Yoga Massage

I'm a web developer and sports enthusiast. From Thai boxing to tricks, workouts, acrobatics, running and gymnastics, I have always enjoyed and practiced all my life. Naturally, I decided that my career should follow my passion, so I got a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education and a Diploma in Classical Massage. After years of practicing Thai Boxing, I realized that something was missing. Besides sports, I had to find a deeper meaning in life that I could integrate into a healthy lifestyle and where my passion for exercise and mental work could continue to grow. So I decided to go to Bali and do a 200 hour yoga teacher training in Ubud. In Bali, Indonesia I met Sara. I belive that Yoga has many possibilities to discover your true nature. A life devoted to my spiritual practice is essential to becoming my best self.

Alessandra Cirillo〢Sound Healer

Sound healing is a way for me to connect with the holistic world and feel my vibration rise. It has been helpful for me to find relief from my problems, and I want to share this knowledge with others. I am studying Music Therapy so that I can help others feel their best too.

Alain Bourguignon〢Chinese Bioenergetic Therapies

Chi Kung is a system of personal development to improve your health. You can do gentle body movements with relaxation and breathing to help you connect with cosmic energy and achieve long life with good health. Yoga and Qigong use different movements, postures, and approaches, but both use the breath to move energy and invoke a meditative state. Alain will combine ancient disciplines in our retreat to bring forward greater awareness. Alain has a degree in Energy Chinese Bioenergetic Therapies from the Real Centro Universitario del Escorial Maria Cristina and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Santiago de Compostela. He also studied acupuncture, Tui-Na and Medicinal Chi Kung at the Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center. Flowing Chi Kung postures may be more beneficial as a model for life, as they teach you how to stay focused even when external factors change. At the same time, yoga poses are better for athletic development and deepening strength, as many of the poses require muscular activity. Combining both will allow you to connect better with yourself and your environment towards a more conscious way of living.

Noel Armas〢Sound Healing Therapist

I love sounds because I was born with a love of music. I have been a sound technician in concerts and theaters, and I have done the sound for several TV series and short films. I found that sound can be therapeutic, so I dedicated myself to this profession. I now use sound as a way to help people heal.
