of a retreat is just that, a retreat. It allows you to step out of your normal day to day and step into you, to rediscover who you are, to revisit your own personal goals, take a digital detox, you can focus on nourishing your body through mental, physical and emotional workshops and experiences, in short, it is an opportunity to “be”. So many people are quick to say that they do not need a retreat, or that they simply do not have time to attend, but what we must all understand that a retreat is more than just a holiday away from the day to day, this is about you and your health, now, how important is that to you?

How could I go on my own? What will others think of me? What if I am not as good as others? I would not know what to do? Firstly, fear is not real, it is an obstacle you put in front of yourself, it is, in my opinion, self sabotage. If we restrict our own personal growth through negative thoughts we will never move forward and grow. We stand still. This is time for you to banish negativity and take the step forward into making change. I am always amazed how people never have time for themselves and yet will run themselves ragged in the quest to help and assist others. I think one of the most powerful words we can learn is no. The week is led by two qualified and experienced yoga teachers, one of which is Julie (Jayadevi) and Jackie Dorrian (Jagdambe Ma), who will teach yoga classes in a variety of styles including Akhanda Yoga, Yin Yoga, Classical Kundalini Yoga, Sivananda Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Once on a retreat with Julie you can begin to unwind, relax, de-stress, grow. Your teachers truly love what they do and would love to share a week of yoga with you in the beautiful sunny region of Murcia and as someone who lives here I can promise you a week of sunshine v
