Mallorca Neurogenic Yoga Retreat
A week long retreat in the sun.
September 29th – October 6th 2018
Slow down…Step back…and meet yourself.
Meet the part of you that is at ease with itself.
The part that has the space and peace to watch the sunset.
The part that is restful and open to the beauty of life.
The part of you that is already enough
Location
La Serranía is a wonderful island hideaway set in the foothills of Mallorca’s Sierra de Tramontana mountains. La Serranía is a retreat center in a class of its own. Featured in Condé Nast Traveller, Harpers & Queen 100 Best spas La Serranía was designed with great sensitivity to the environment and exquisite attention to detail. The almost unimaginable tranquility of the location and stunning design of the buildings regularly draw small groups of artists, writers, and yogis in search of privacy, natural beauty, and creative inspiration. High ceilings and large windows create a remarkable sense of space and light, highlighting extensive oak floors and cedar and pine carpentry. The result is an outstanding combination of modern luxury and natural ambience.
