The region is crossed by the Garonne River. This makes it the only one in Catalonia that belongs to the Atlantic river basin. Its location in the middle of the Pyrenees and the high mountains that form the valley have conditioned itshistory and its strong character. These mountains are a paradise for lovers of hiking and high mountains. Manaslu Adventures will take you through its best corners,places to discover where you can truly connect with nature and with yourself.
The best time to escape to the Aran Valley is in autumn. The landscapes are at their best. The ocher and orange colors flood the Aranese forests before the arrival of the most intense cold. And everything is tranquility and peace.
A paradise to get lost among the mountains and enjoy absolute tranquility!
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 our Catalan Pyrenees (between 5-6 hours long) Always accompanied by our expert Mid-Mountain Guide who knows the area with who you will learn a lot. The pace will be gentle to be able to enjoy the spectacular landscapes offered by the wonderful Aran Valley and the Aigüastortes National Park.
YOGA & MEDITATION
The Yoga practice will be directed by Natalia Evangelista, a practitioner of yoga since 2012, she has trained in the best schools in Barcelona. He likes to combine styles, depending on the energy or need of the group, the classes always focus on the well-being of the practitioner. All his classes are unique, he never repeats them. Students learn to breathe, calm their minds, and strengthen and respect their bodies. The style of yoga that he does is holistic, a method that encompasses our entire being, it helps us develop the body, mind and spirit in harmony, living in coherence with what we think we say and we do. A holistic approach can benefit our relationships, make us more patient, more understanding, loving, in general it helps us renew our vital energy, keeps us fit, happier and more awake in our lives. At the retreat we will practice a dynamic style, vinyasa, which involves linking the movements with breathing, and at the end of the day we will do a more relaxing practice, there will be meditation and a sound bath with bowls. >a massage for the senses.
