The Retreat
Hosted by all-round wonder woman; Mariela Cruz, Co- founder of Ashtangini, in association with Paula Cavalierri and Kika Salom- founder of Andanda Mandala Yoga. We invite you to join us at Finca Es Cabas, which has been booked out as our home for some time in the countryside on the magical island of Mallorca. Es Cabas is one of the most beautiful finca’s on the island. The perfect place to connect with oneself, others and nature through a relaxing and inspiring break away from the distractions and stresses of busy daily lives.
The Teacher
Mariela started her studies of Ashtanga yoga in 2003 at the KPJAYI in Mysore, India, with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois. She was granted Authorization Level 2 in 2009. She travels annually to Mysore and is blessed by her Guru´s instruction.
Mariela considers Yoga to have been an important part of her life since the age of five. She has always had a natural inclination towards spiritual awareness and has found her practice in Ashtanga to be a powerful tool to experience that side of one-self for the last 17 years of her life. She has a loving and authentic approach to all that she does- offering an incredible practice with the only intention being to pass on the same lessons she has learned from her time in Mysore, India with her teachers and Gurus; Guruji and Sharath.
Mariela was the first authorized teacher in Central America and the third in Latin America and loves to share her passion for Ashtanga with others. Come and join her for a five-day retreat, catering to all levels of practice in the heart of the Mallorquin countryside at one of the most beautiful Fincas on the island.
Daily Routine
We will start each day with Mysore practice presented by Mariela, followed by philosophy classes. Workshops will be in the evenings of Tuesday and Thursday. We will have brunch prepared by our private vegetarian/ vegan chef after practice followed by some free time for you to do with as you choose, be it a hike through the finca and surrounds or chilling with a book by the pool.
We will make a group excursion to a beautiful beach on one of the days during the week. Late afternoon through early evenings will be filled with classes, discussions and workshops with Mariela.
After the evening session, we will settle in for a delicious and nourishing meal served in anyone of the beautiful dining areas the finca has to offer.
