Mountain Wellness Yoga Escape in Spain's Sierra de Gredos

This carefully crafted three-day retreat offers a rare opportunity to study with Pablo Om Ji, a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with over fifteen years of experience integrating multiple yoga lineages. The program weaves together Iyengar Yoga's precise alignment methodology, the dynamic flow of Vinyasa Krama, restorative practices, and the contemplative depth of Kashmir Shaivism—a traditional tantric approach that embraces all aspects of life as sacred.

Each day unfolds with a rhythm designed to support deep transformation. Early morning meditation sessions prepare the mind for the day's practices, followed by pranayama (breathwork) that awakens vital energy. Extended yoga sessions throughout the day explore different aspects of the practice, from vigorous asana work to gentle restorative poses that allow for deep release and integration.

The retreat philosophy honours both effort and surrender, activity and rest. Specialized workshops delve into self-discovery visualizations, tantric contemplations (bhavanas), and Yoga Nidra—the profound practice of conscious sleep. Evening gatherings may include kirtan (devotional chanting) and creative expression, fostering community connection and heart-opening experiences.

What sets this retreat apart is its integrative approach. Rather than presenting yoga as merely physical exercise, the program reveals yoga as a complete system for understanding reality and living fully. Kashmir Shaivism's positive philosophy teaches that worldly enjoyment and spiritual liberation are not opposites but complementary aspects of a sacred life. This perspective transforms every moment of the retreat into an opportunity for awakening.

The intimate group setting ensures personalized attention and creates space for meaningful connections with like-minded seekers. Whether you're processing life transitions, seeking deeper self-knowledge, or simply craving a reset in nature, this retreat provides the container for genuine transformation. The combination of expert instruction, powerful practices, nourishing food, and spectacular natural beauty creates an experience that participants carry with them long after returning home.
