THE LOTUS HEART
During this retreat we will study the physiology and sacred geometry of the heart centre.
The masculine & feminine energetic triangles synchronise at the centre in union, which is a symbolism of our deepest understanding in love. Our practices with Lizi will include meditations on the ‘siddhi's’, (sacred powers according to ancient yogic texts). We will dance and sit with the shadow around the fire. Nicola with guide these qualities of both siddhi's and shadow aspects during a powerful breath work session. Lucy will lead heart opening chanting and song.
The lung heart chakra is the compass of devotion and feeling. It's the reservoir of our kindness.
Our heart is regarded as the ‘inner seer’ in yoga. The chest therefore becomes our sacred cage; holding the rhythms and pulses of all the life force and rivers that run through us.
Join us for a deep autumn retreat celebrating the meaning this holds for each of us.
YOUR HOME | IBIZA
Our incredible retreat home, is a luxurious sanctuary, nestled in a peaceful, secluded forest area in the hills, close to San Miguel, in the north of Ibiza. With panoramic views overlooking the untouched surrounding forest, cascades, fountains, fish ponds and three Balinese temples… This reformed 400 year old Ibizan monastery truly is a heavenly.
The epic yoga shala is nothing short of inspirational, with abundant terraces and gardens to reflect and relax in, plus a jacuzzi and sauna to help deepen your total rejuvenation process.

PRACTICE | YOGA, MEDITATION, RITUAL & COLD WATER THERAPY
We are honoured to again collaborate with our dear friend Lizaan Joubert
Lizi will lead a twice-daily practice during the retreat, with two hours of deep slow flow yoga in the morning and a yin-energy focussed, practice in the evening. Alongside this she will lead meditation, dance, cold water therapy and ritual.
TEACHER | LIZAAN JOUBERT
Known as Lizi to her students and the yoga community, teaching yoga is part of her belief that the practice rests in the heart of being a student to life, and that everyone is your teacher. Her work as a practitioner and facilitator is inspired by her own life path, being a traveller - and her experiences living many lives. She began a deep path of inquiry during sabbatical, when living in Thailand, where she was introduced to the Patanjali system, through practices of Ashtanga Vinyasa. Lizi is (E-500RYT) teacher and her teachings are derived from her passion to learn from her teachers annually, and share with her students, during intimate weeks in retreat. And classes she now teaches live and online around the world.
INSPIRATIONAL BREATHING | NICOLA PRICE
Inspirational Breathing is a technique that fully opens up the respiratory system — sometimes for the first time ever — and floods the body with life affirming energy and life force.
As we work at a deep level, alongside the breathwork, there will be support for you to understand your triggers and resulting behaviours. You will have an opportunity to re write the script and experientially create new outcomes. This is a liberating and game changing opportunity, re evaluating, learning and honing the tools to create your best life.
On this special retreat you will have the opportunity to experience a 2 hour workshop with Inspirational Breathing founder, Nicola Price - and also work with her on a 1-2-1 basis.
CHANTING & SINGING | CHAYA FOUNDER | LUCY HILL
This year marks the 13th year of Chaya retreats, curated and guided by Lucy, who has over 20 years of experience in live events and wellbeing experiences. Lucy will host the retreat, alongside Lizaan and also lead singing and chanting. These powerful practices will help you connect to your voice and heart, in turn empowering you with greater access to sharing your truth.
