YOGA & MEDITATION ARIADNA.CASTORENA

HELLO SPRING!

Yoga Retreat for New Energy, Balance & Relaxation

The perfect way to welcome spring: HELLO SPRING! combines movement, mindful breathing and awareness to create a revitalising break for body and mind. Dynamic and gentle yoga exercises help release tension, activate new energy and bring a sense of calm.

The morning sessions combine energising asanas with active, passive and restorative elements as well as pranayama. In the evening, the practice becomes calmer, with gentle exercises and extended deep relaxation creating space for regeneration and inner balance.

Between yoga sessions, there is plenty of time for wellness, nature and personal time. All yoga levels are welcome – 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, mindfulness and a strong awareness of individual needs.

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