ARIADNA.CASTORENA. MEDITATION.&.YOGA.

HELLO AUTUMN!

Yoga Retreat for Balance, Letting Go & New Energy

Autumn invites us to slow down, let go and recharge. HELLO AUTUMN! combines movement, mindful breathing and awareness to create a restorative break for body and mind.

Gentle, flowing yoga sessions alternate with energising sequences, pranayama and meditative elements. In the morning, the focus is on stability, mobility and renewed energy, while the calmer evening practice creates space for relaxation, regeneration and inner balance.

Between yoga sessions, there is plenty of time for wellness, nature and personal time in the Gastein Valley. A weekend to arrive, recharge and mindfully transition into the quieter season.

Suitable for all yoga levels – including beginners.

RETREAT INSTRUCTOR: Ariadna Castorena

Yoga has been part of Ariadna’s life since 1999. After completing her degree in psychology, she began her first training in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition in 2002 and continued to deepen her practice through various yoga traditions over many years. Since 2011, she has been a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher.

Further training in Spiraldynamik®, Ayurveda, yoga therapy and meditation complements her holistic approach. Her classes combine precise, anatomically informed alignment with breathwork and mindfulness.

With her calm yet powerful approach, Ariadna creates a practice that promotes body awareness, stability, regeneration and inner clarity.
