Sense of place
Situated in the picturesque bay of Aiguablava, 1,5 km away from the iconic medieval town of Begur, this villa could not be better placed. Atop a pine-clad hill and surrounded by a beautiful Mediterranean garden, Villa Pi Blau overlooks gorgeous crystalline water coves and sandy beaches at short walking distance. During your retreat, you will enjoy the stunning surroundings and trips to nearby beaches and towns. in a judgment-free and welcoming atmosphere.
Because of the ideal climate, VILLA PI BLAU offers a great outdoor lifestyle to cater for all tastes: lounging by the saltwater pool, napping under the shade of the pine tree, lying in a hammock or relaxing on the sofa under the pergola.
Against the backdrop of a blue sky, in refreshing sea breeze and pleasant scent of Mediterranean plants you will just leave behind the stresses of the world…
The villa was builded with a strong emphasis on quality sustainable materials to combine wellness and green design. Its hundred square meter Yoga and Relaxation Room provides an ideal sunny and seaside spot to mentally and physically relax.
What to expect
We will have 2 hour Yoga session in the morning (7,30am until 9,30am) and 1 hour restorative session in the evening ( 5,30pm until 6,30pm) that will include Asana (postures), Pranayama
(breathing exercises), meditation and guided relaxation. All the classes will be themed and carefully planned to respect your inner rhythms and help you engage and develop your personal
practice.
Breakfast will be served at 10am and after that, the morning will be yours to chill by the salted pool or at the beach, maybe have a massage ( this can be organised on your arrival day) or go
for a walk to explore the amazing surroundings. The idea of this retreat is self-care, is giving yourself permission to pause and just be, so maybe allow yourself to experience the power of
doing absolutely nothing at all to recharge your batteries, regain your clarity, and ignite your spirit by contemplating and soaking up the vibes of nature around. Just remember to show up at
1,30pm if you don’t want to miss the delicious lunch.
Dinner will be served at 7pm.
We will have 2 workshops/chats during the retreat. One, on the arrival day, to talk about what actually Yoga means and clarify some concepts of the Yoga Philosophy that will hopefully become a useful tool during the retreat and for the future, on and off the mat. Also to help you set an intention for the days ahead, personal and relevant to you.
One on the last day to discuss any questions that might have arised on your practice during the retreat. This could be about Asana, Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy, anatomy, or anything you are curious to ask!
Optional activities
- Join me every day at 6:30 am by the pool for an early morning meditation and witness the Sun rising over the Mediterranean sea. A wake of the senses that will set the tone for your day ahead.
