Yoga Retreat in Menorca

Into the core of your practice

Join us in this one week retreat to practice yoga in depth and find new essences, real places in yourself.
Eveline Torres shares her insights with you and gives you personal support. Her powerful and loving teaching will bring you energy and strength.

Natural beauty
Menorca is an unspoiled part of Spain where you practice in an old farmhouse amidst valleys, not far from the sea.
Occasionally we practice outside. Anna Poch, our host, has picked some places of natural beauty and intense atmosphere on the island for special yoga sessions. She will also prepare the vegetarian meals designed to energize and detox you during the yoga days.
Enjoy a week of yoga, special care and home grown biological meals that will bring you in a beautiful balance.
Pictures of the place you can find here.

Six days of yoga
To be free of your daily activities and to dedicate yourself to yoga in all its forms brings you back to what is real and essential in yourself. It also gives you the opportunity to find new physical clues to a stable and pleasant yoga practice. The beauty of the landscape and the supportive environment wll help you to grow in a safe way.

Eveline Torres teaches in the Vijnana Yoga tradition.
Vijnana Yoga is based on the idea of ‘practicing from the inside’. A lot of attention is paid to the influence of the breath (pranayama). There is a strong focus on the centre (core) of the body. The practice is guided by seven vital principles. Vijnana yoga will help develop a strong body, a conscious yoga practice and a stable, focused mind.

Students of all levels of experience are welcome. Everyone works at his or her own level.
Eveline can teach in Spanish, English & Dutch.
Eveline habla el Espanol!
