SOS for the Soul Retreats

/in , ,

Take a day….    to hide-away and completely let go…  A one day SOS for the soul retreat – take time to let your soul breathe…

In a secret and sacred retreat Finca where Faye and Valerie welcome you to relax, release and delicately soothe  your deeper needs.   In these times of change and transition it is vital to prioritise our space for self-care.  Hands-on healing, meditations, soft-support, gentle hosting and experienced care, optional life, wellness and mind-detox coaching, restorative yoga, massages, organic nourishing food.  From 1 day retreat to a longer residential stay, what fits into your schedule? And what does your soul most need?

Casa Corazon (meaning House of the Heart) offers a private and nurturing space in nature. As the name suggests the energy here resonates with that of the heart and the sacred feminine is very much felt. Valerie offers a space to regain  spiritual consciousness leading to empowerment and self-love. This is a special retreat for those who are deeply committed to their soul’s journey. Those who wish to gain the clarity and stability to find and tread a new pathway. Trust and freedom are raised through meditation practice and one-to-one sessions (often these can include past life regressions, emotional feedback and guided visualisations) in a safe place for the transformation to occur.

If you are feeling stuck, confused, anxious or lost yet know you have the power to change (even if you don’t know what that change looks like) this retreat will bring clarity. It is for you to be able to align yourself with your soul purpose and gain back a sense of wholeness that has perhaps been forgotten for some time.

Casa Corozon is a centuries’ old farmhouse set in acres of wild meadow and fruit trees, surrounded by pine forests. Sit by the natural pool under the lemon trees and watch the dragon flies.   Time to enjoy some individual reflection and to be held, facilitating letting go.  It is a rural retreat and the pace is slow and easy.

The day retreat includes:

* Full-body massage with Reiki release work

* Enjoyment of the beautiful healing space of Casa Corazon, eco-pool

* Teas & organic healthy snacks

* Meditation with Valerie

From 95 euros

* Optional healthy lunch, wellness coaching and yoga on request

A peaceful and harmonious place to sleep in the heart of the island where the frog chorus will send you into a deep sleep in the comfort of your bed. All guests report that they have had the best night’s sleep,  followed by the best breakfasts!

Yoga Teacher Training with Nora Belton Sept & Oct 2012

/in , ,

Spirit Body Yoga – Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
 3 weeks: Sept 25th – Oct 1st and Oct 10th – Oct 25th, 2012

 Santa Eulalia, Ibiza countryside at “Saraswati Space”

.  Led by Nora Belton and co-taught by Kirana Stover, Director of Integral Yoga Barcelona, embrace the concept of service, develop the confidence to teach with safety, from the heart, with joy and expertise. Contact us for details

Nora believes if you are considering becoming a Yoga Teacher, it is worthwhile to look at the concept of service.

“The whole foundation of teaching is service, or as it is called in Yoga communities, “KARMA YOGA.”   Teaching is how I serve others.  I am fulfilled through service, because I feel it is my purpose and my calling.  The TTC is designed to root you, the Yogi, in the practice and achieve the confidence you need to transmit your knowledge and love of Yoga to others.

For me, Yoga is a way of life, a loving guide, and a loyal friend.  I imagine that the roots of my Yoga practice go much deeper and the purpose is more far-reaching than I can conceive.  Spirit Body Yoga Teacher Training aims to inspire you to find the right questions that help you evolve, and satisfy the needs of the Soul in being of service to others.

I consider Training Yoga Teachers to be both the pinnacle of my achievements and at the same time an obvious path that I somehow managed to avoid until I was mature enough to accept it.  I love nothing more.  There is a prayer we chant in Sanskrit at the beginning of Yoga sessions that goes like this:  “May we, teacher and student, be nourished together.  May we be protected together.  May we work together and our work bear fruit.  May our knowledge be transformed into light.  May we never lose patience with each other.  OM.  Peace. Peace. Peace.”

Yoga Alliance 200 hr. TEACHER TRAINING

SIVANANDA STYLE with daily CHANTING & MEDITATION. This course is an intensive residential Yoga immersion. The format allows for lots of personal attention and TEACHING PRACTICE. It gives students the opportunity to disconnect from worldly distractions in order to go inside and explore their relationship to Yoga & to themselves. It is a shared experience offering the challenges and support of a PROFESSIONAL GROUP dedicated to a common goal: to imbibe and transmit the spirit of Yoga. With SPIRIT BODY YOGA YTTC you will learn to teach with confidence and safety.
