Indian Summer Yoga & Meditation Retreat at La Serrania (Mallorca)
August 29 - September 5, 2026
Waking up to dawn’s early light shimmering on the nearby Oak and Olive groves, the scent of the Mediterranean mingling with the dew ripening on the limestone outcrops, one could imagine having been transported to Sukhavati, the Buddhist land of bliss! This is what this beautiful place on the island of Mallorca feels like.
It is a true gift to be able to step out of one’s daily routine. Come and join us for a week of languishing in extended morning practice, unplugging with walks in nature, delighting in delicious and nurturing food, simply relaxing into wherever the moment takes you, as time, for a moment, stands still.
DATE
August 29 - September 5 2026
RETREAT SCHEDULE
The retreat schedule is intended to allow for an extended morning practice, a well-rounded contemplative experience that incorporates the elements of an empowering dynamic asana class, breathwork, meditation and chanting. Noble silence (mona) will be observed in the mornings until brunch.
The afternoons allow for personal time, for introspective activities such as reading and journaling, connecting with nature through walks and visits to surrounding sights, gathering inspiration for one’s creative side and connecting to community. There will be late afternoon practice with restorative asana and guided meditations organized around a theme.
