Yoga and Art Therapy Day Retreat
Join us on the 9th November (10am to 5pm) for a day to focus on you, to connect with yourself, your mind, your body, your inner thoughts and wishes. Our experienced yoga instructor Alexi, and qualified art therpist Maria will help guide your journey. All set in the Spanish mountains at KarmaVida in Benissa, for a unique day in a stunning location.
What is Included
Two Yoga Classes (2x1hr)
We start the day on the yoga deck looking out at the mountains, with an invigorating vinyasa flow taught by Alexi. There is no better way to wake up. The afternoon class is yin, which involves holding postures for longer to get into the deep tissues and set you up for a great sleep.
Nutritious Food
We have a professional vegan chef who will serve predominately plant-based food, which is nutritious and tasty!! Lunch and snacks included, along with herbal teas and water.
Art Alchemy (2hrs)
This art therapy method goes beyond creativity, serving as a powerful tool for trauma healing, self-exploration, and development. In Maria's sessions, the focus is on using the artistic process to overcome barriers to self-connection, not on creating something to take home.
Participants use their hands with high-quality paint, fostering freedom, mindfulness, and intuitive expression. This tactile approach enhances self-awareness, emotional release, and a deeper connection to oneself.
No prior art experience is needed; anyone can participate.
Jacuzzi and Chill Areas
The jacuzzi will be available just before lunch, there is an outdoor shower and changing area. Use of the jacuzzi is complimentary but we do need to know numbers so please pre-book a place.
Breathwork and Meditation
Alexi will guide you through some breatwork before the morning yoga, helping you 'arrive' in the space. The faternoon yin will be followed by a 20 minute guided meditation, closing the day.
