Retreats

Retreat Leader: Kristin Butler

Heaven on Earth is intended for all levels yogis and those who are looking to explore the yogic path as a healing modality. The format is simple with morning Hatha yoga, evening meditation/nidra/restorative and days fairly open for personal exploration.

Be prepared for an incredible week of natural healing, sun, sea, nourishing food and pause from man made distractions. Accommodations are breezy, shared cabins nestled into a lush jungle and oceanside hill with bathrooms, toilets, and hot showers, but minus electricity. Oil lamps light the rooms at night and the sounds of the waves lull you to sleep. Within 24 hours, you will feel the restorative changes in your body. Travellers to Haramara fly into the Puerto Vallarta airport and arrive at Haramara via a pre-arranged shuttle. The town of Sayulita is just a 20 minute walk away and there are also opportunities to snorkel, surf and walk in the jungle.

Our venue for this yoga retreat is a country house bed and breakfast located in the peaceful Umbria hills between Gubbio and Perugia. Prominently situated on a ridge which stretches into the centre of the valley commands fine views over its 28 hectares of gardens, terraced lawns and woodland, this luxury, boutique hotel accommodation is immersed in nature. Enjoy green hills, gardens, silence, and extreme relaxation in the wellness centre with salt water swimming pool, jacuzzi spa and massage facilities.

The country house has 10 rooms, each equally fresh and silent, and each unique from one another. The furnishings adorning every room were all hand-picked and brought back one by one from many distant journeys made by Paola and Irish, the owners. There is no television, and nothing to disturb the peace and tranquility.

Stroll at leisure through the olive grove, inhale the scent of roses and herbs, or simply curl up with a book under the shade of the old elm tree. The gardens hold many hidden gems and secret corners for you to discover. In one, an ecological chlorine-free swimming pool, encircled by comfortable sun loungers and close by the sybaritic delight of an outdoor Jacuzzi whirlpool spa. Or descend a few steps to enter the Moorish style spa, let your tensions slip away in the Turkish bath and then immerse yourself in a cloud of cool, refreshing, mint scented water, before heading for the peace of the salon overlooking the verdant landscape to sip a tisane, read a book, or revive yourself under the hands of our masseuse.
