We invite you to a Trekking & Yoga & Meditation in a Paradise, in the Alpujarra of Granada, in the Sierra Nevada National Park.
The Alpujarra is a group of towns located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, whose name comes from Arabic and means “Land of grass”. They are located between the provinces of Granada and Almería and have spectacular landscapes adorned with white villages in the most typical Berber style, connected by paths and roads. The enormous number of roads and paths in La Apujarra delight lovers of hiking and nature.
The Cortijo where we will sleep is located 1 km from Capileira, and the other towns of the Poqueira Ravine: Pampaneira and Bubión. It offers views of the Poqueira Canyon and the Sierra Lújar mountains.
A charming little paradise to disconnect and discover!
TREKKING/HIKING
We will do Trekking/Hiking every day. Trekking is already a constant meditation. You have to know how to find a rhythm between your steps and your breathing. Knowing how to listen to your heart, your breathing, the wind, the trees, the rain, the birds and when you are attentive and present, everything becomes magical and you become one with nature. During the outings there will be moments to refresh, relax and connect your body through conscious meditation exercises in privileged places. Conscious walks, with mild and medium difficulty in privileged places in the Alpujarra Granadina (between 5-6 hours long including stops) Always accompanied by our expert Mid-Mountain Guide who knows the area with whom you will learn a lot. The pace will be gentle to be able to enjoy the spectacular landscapes that the Sierra Nevada National Park offers us.
YOGA & MEDITATION
The Yoga and Meditation practices will be directed by Amara Arilla. She began practicing yoga in 2000 when an ankle injury forced her to leave London and her work as a dancer. She experimented in different yoga schools in Barcelona, when she finally met ANUSARA YOGA in Madrid and decided to train in this yoga discipline that preserves the basis and postures of Hatha yoga, adding some principles of postural alignment and a large component of philosophy. As a complement to her Yoga training, she studied Osteopathy for three years, which made her give a more careful and anatomical approach to her yoga classes. His passion for Asian culture made him travel to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma to continue practicing and training in Thai Massage.
Currently immersed in Vedanta training (one of the most influential Hindu philosophies. All these years of travel and training have provided her with extensive experience that she transmits every day to all her students. Amara dedicates all her efforts to transmit all the knowledge acquired and improve the quality of life of all people, both physically and emotionally. A true luxury to always have her with us!
