In the last decade, Ibiza has grown as a very alternative, ecological and healing orientated location. Known as “the white island” for the curing properties of its white clay, Ibiza is nowadays a worldwide famous destination for nature lovers and Yoga practitioners.
The retreat: will take place in Blue Sky Training Center, a few steps from Cala Martina beach, in a beautiful and calm spot. Leisure and entertainment activities are easily accessible. Located on the island of Ibiza which, over the last 50 years, has become a focal point for alternative living. A place where people feel the freedom to express their own individuality and explore different ways to connect with their inner Self. Alternative people from all around the world gather in Ibiza, particularly in summer season. However, all year round, you are likely to come across eccentric characters.
Yoga: Opale Carol will be providing teachings of Vinyasa flowing and dynamic Yoga which incorporate and combine Prana Flow sequences. You will practice 3h daily Yoga, daily in an indoor Yoga shala or on a shaded terrace by the seashore. Morning sessions run from 9.30 – 12.30 am, or 10 to 1pm; and will be followed by a delicious & organic vegetarian lunch. Evening sessions from 5 to 8 pm. The 6 sessions include Asanas (Yoga postures), Vinyasa (sequence of poses) Pranayama (breathing exercises) and Mindfulness Meditation. Pilates exercises will be incorporated in the teachings. This is to ensure there is some specific focus on improving your core and help to build and strengthen the muscles supporting your spine. The lessons are suitable for all. We welcome complete beginners and those who have practiced Yoga for some years. Every student will receive a special attention.
Mindfulness: Did you know that the stiffest muscle of your body is the one inside your head? We are mostly limited by our mind. By learning to smile and relax your mind, you will find freedom in your body and flow with lightness in your practice. Experience a unique approach which integrated the tools of Mindfulness into the physical practice of Yoga.
Opale Carol‘s background in various Yoga schools will promote the thorough study of each posture. She will gently ease you into the practice with breathing exercises and smooth movements to awaken the muscles and joints with preparation throughout the week for tougher poses through core and back strengthening exercises. Opale teaches with a professional and sensitive approach allowing for each individual student to evolve into their practice with fluidity and confidence.
