When Spring comes, the grass grows by itself - Oshio
Unfurling, unwinding and unfolding belong to the time of Spring.
When warmth, lightness and beauty permeate the space - it all begins.
The waking up, the opening up, the reaching out, the venturing out.
This retreat we will assist and extend the pleasure of slow expansion with a rich blend of
Yoga, TRE (Tension Release Exercises), Breath and Awareness practices (Focusing and Meditation).
All that while bathing in the sun and beauty of the expansive Andalucian cortijo with gardens overlooking the valley and the Mediterranean Sea. The Retreat Centre has one outdoor and two indoor studios, a salt-water pool, and beautiful gardens to spend afternoons in.
Santillian Retreat is one of the top-ranked retreat centres in Europe and is only 35 minutes from Malaga Airport.
Our days will follow the unfolding journey through the body and its rivers of fascia

THROUGH LINES
It is through our body that we exist here
and through our body that we sense ourselves and the world around us.
Through our body, we experience what expansion and growth are
and through this same body, we experience limits and finiteness.
It is through our lived body that we sense what deeply matters,
we experience connection, sense of flow or glimpses of wholeness.
Embodiment is not just listening to the body
but listening through the body.
It's an invitation to become permeable
to the aliveness of the world around us,
and to feel how that aliveness
permeates our aliveness.
