Listen to your Heart Retreat
with Joost en Ellen
12 - 16 June 2023
Valencia, Spain
What would it be like if you lived fully from the heart?
How would you feel? What choices would you make?
Questions that are quite difficult to answer when caught up in your daily routines. During this retreat we'll take all the time and space we need to really deeply feel what makes your heart tick.
Yoga and meditation will help release old tension and open your heart. Coaching and bodywork will help to break old beliefs and habits and to get to a deeper level of feeling. In this retreat you'll experience your vulnerability and how to feel safe and connect within yourself. All this with beautiful nature as our backdrop and safe place.

THE ESSENCE OF YOGA
By practicing yoga poses we are able to clear the stuck physical areas, which then gives us mental clarity as well. It becomes easier to focus, to concentrate and to make efficient effective choices.
The poses and breath help you to experience first hand, in your own body, how to start to bring balance into your life. Physically, mentally and emotionally. Using the body to help break through any stuck stiff area’s that are holding stress and or creating pain. These stuck areas are a distraction which slow us down and keep us from being the best that we can be.
Why you would like to start taking yoga classes is different for everyone. And that's just how it's supposed to be! It's all about you and feeling like the best version of yourself. Sometimes this happens by slowing down and taking more relaxed classes. Other times you need some fire to turn inward. Everything is okay. It's about connection. With yourself. Your body, mind and soul.
CLASSES
We teach based on the principles of Pralaya Yoga. This type of yoga was created by Robert Boustany, and it's based on the idea that balancing your joints will create an optimal flow of energy through your body. This balance can be created by combining two elements, which are releasing connective tissue and strengthening weak muscles. For example: when your hamstring (muscle in the back of the upper leg) is tight, most types of yoga will focus on stretching this muscle. In Pralaya Yoga we believe that it's better to strengthen quadriceps (muscle in the front of the upper leg), so that the hamstring is given more space to relax and will automatically become less tight. This tactic can be used anywhere in the body.
All of our teachers teach based on the core values of Pralaya Yoga. Would you like to know more about this type of yoga? Join our specific Pralaya yoga class. Currently, Robert is teaching an online Pralaya-based Ashtanga class in which you will dive a lot deeper into this amazing form of yoga.
