This will be a special weekend as it will be very close to the full moon, it will be a full moon in Sagittarius; it´s archetype being the truth seeker and the explorer of life. The symbol of this sign is the archer with a bow and arrows. It is a fire sign and relates to our inner fires and with the energy of this moon we are supported to aim high and shoot towards our goals.

With the guidance of Sasha Delaney you will have the space and the time during this long weekend, to pay attention to what is calling you from within, allowing the noise outside to decrease and staying open and curious to new possibilities. Our mornings will involve gentle Hatha Flow practice infused with qi gong and Well Woman yoga inspired from Uma Dinsmore Tuli´s Womb Yoga and meditation. On the Saturday evening we will explore the theme of sensuality and our femenine mysteries through sharing, meditations and exercises and on our last evening we will create full moon ritual and dance.

Esther Cortavitarte will greet us on Friday with a gentle Moon Yoga session and Moon Salutations, as well as a full moon meditation inspired by the teachings of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. And on Monday morning we will say goodbye or much better a ¨see you soon¨ with a Moon session based on the series by Matthew Sweeney and a body scan.

Classes will be run in English, although our teachers speak Spanish. We can facilitate one-to-one Spanish classes upon request. A perfect opportunity of improving your language skills or starting learning a new language.

From the 25th to the 28th May 2018
Prices from €364 per person in shared bedroom.

Sasha Delaney. London, UK
My love for yoga first started as a teenager but it wasn´t until I was a drama student that I started to practise regularly and so I recognised how yoga was helping me to keep my mind positive and my body energised during a health problem recovery. I have witnessed how yoga benefits my nervous sistem, and my general state. I am now more conscious of how my perceptions of the different events of my life has been changing .
Between 2014-2015 I conducted my first training as Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga instructor with Sally Parkes and also completed the 200 hours of ISHTA (Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda).
Sasha has a particular interest in radical rest and has enjoyed learning from very prepared and inspiring teachers Like Judith Lassiter (Restorative Yoga), Uma Disnmore Tuli (Well woman Yoga Therapy) and the hand of Sashi Solluna and minke of Vos in Tao Tantric Arts that included work in qui gong, in addition to an intense course in sexual health of women with Kalindi Jordan of "The Art of Sensual woman".

Esther Cortavitarte. Spain-UK.
It was in 1999 when I first practised classic Yoga to help me with a health problem. However I did not meet again with a continued practice until 2007 when I moved to London. It was there that the Asthanga style captivated me and my endless curiosity led me to try other schools: Kundalini Classic, Kundalini by Yogi Bhajan, Vinyasa flow, Hatha flow, Jivamukti, Anusara Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Yin yoga.
My life flows between Spain, UK and USA for work reasons. I take advantage of the destinations where my work takes me to expand my knowledge and I have attended workshops and courses in London, New York, Montreal, Los Angeles and other countries such as Greece, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain with some of the best yoga teachers in the world. It is a path of constant learning and studying.
Today I continue working as Maternity Nurse and Doula Post Natal, my passion for yoga, teaching (mainly Yin yoga) and organizing retreats and meetings of yoga, meditation and hiking in Spain and Morocco.

Villa Surya is located in the unique enclave of La Barrosa beach in Chiclana, Province of Cádiz. This paradise in southern Spain offers a wide variety of tourist activities that respect the purity of the area, with long beaches with clear water that invite the practising of sports and cultural activities.
We recommend visits along the coast of Cádiz to enjoy the marvellous gastronomic experiences and to dive yourself into our history. Visit the settlements of Sancti Petri where the Greeks who discovered the island constructed their shrine to Hercules. Centuries later, the castle was built and has recently been restored to its former glory.

A large living area with chimney that, in addition to heating our retreat, provides a warm atmosphere in the winter months. Natural light is provided by the large window with views of the garden, which is reserved for yoga and includes a large wooden pergola that invites you to disconnect from the world outside, welcoming you to connect with your inner essence and increase your personal well-being.
