Are you adventurous? Do you like trekking and nature?
We invite you to a Trekking & Yoga & Meditation retreat in a Paradise, in the wonderful Picos de Europa National Park. It is a Spanish protected area located in the Cantabrian Mountains in the provinces of Asturias, León and Cantabria. It was declared a National Park in 1918 by Alfonso XIII, being the first protected area in the country. We will stay in the town of Arenas de Cabrales, which is home to such emblematic peaks of the Principality as the Pico de Urriellu (Naranjo de Bulnes) or the town of Bulnes itself. Part of the Cares Gorge route also runs through here and several routes start towards super pretty towns like Sotres.
Our program is specially designed with love to give you this opportunity to reconnect with yourself. Not only so that you can enjoy and relax in nature surrounded by mountains, eat healthy, but also reconnect with your body through yoga, pranayama and meditation practices in a unique environment. Escape from routine and immerse yourself in an enriching experience surrounded by a natural space that, due to its great beauty and harmony of colors and sounds, invites you to open all your senses.
Hiking, meditation and yoga are complementary activities that can help improve your mood, reduce stress levels and improve your fitness and endurance. These activities are effective when practiced separately, but when you combine them, the benefits are amplified.
YOU DO NOT NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, WE WILL ACCOMPANY YOU SO THAT YOU CAN LET YOURSELF BE CARRIED BY YOUR SENSES.
TREKKING/HIKING
We will trek 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 this National Park (between 5-6 hours daily). The pace will be gentle to be able to enjoy the spectacular landscapes that the Picos de Europa National Park offers us.
YOGA & MEDITATION
The Yoga practice will be led by Aleksandra Sadlo. Her first encounter with Yoga was in 2010 in her hometown, in Poland, where she practiced for several years experiencing its benefits on a body-mind-spirit level. In 2012 she moved to Spain and that was when she began her journey on the path of Yoga.
She practiced in different yoga schools when she finally met Power Hot Yoga in Madrid where she decided to train as a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga teacher accredited by the Yoga Alliance. Her great interest in cultivating the body and mind led her to train as a Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer. Aleksandra dedicates all her efforts to transmit all the knowledge acquired and improve the quality of life of all people, both physically and emotionally through these ancient disciplines. Among his other hobbies are mountain sports such as trail running , climbing, skiing and trekking . She currently combines her work as a yoga teacher, teaching both online and in-person classes, with her work as a guide. Grateful to life for being able to dedicate herself to what she is passionate about, moves her and transforms her.
And from this combination of his two passions, the Mountain and Yoga, YogaTrek was born in the heart of Los Picos de Europa, from the deepest and most sincere of his heart. With the hope of being able to transmit to you his love for Nature and accompany you along the path of Yoga that is infinite. Aleksandra will accompany you through these spectacular landscapes and will take Yoga outside your homes. Enjoy outdoor practices, walk in silence, merge with Nature and feel that we are part of something bigger.
Yoga – The perfect complement to my very active life! A moment of intimate connection, which makes me bring my feet to the ground and lift my heart to heaven.
