Essential Self

All Level ✺ 14.- 19. April 2025 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

We invite you to step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in the ancient practices of yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Our aim is to guide you in rediscovering your fundamental being by stripping away the unnecessary layers that have accumulated over time.

During our retreat, we will encourage you to go within and explore the infinite realm of potentiality that exists within each of us. Through the practice of quieting the mind and simplifying our lives, we will connect with the power of the breath as the basis of our practice. We believe that the breath is the doorway to the mind and the key to unlocking our full potential.

Together, we will journey breath by breath, shedding the dense layers of old beliefs, conditionings, patterns, and fears. Our aim is to reveal the lightness of the self that exists beyond these limiting factors. We will guide you to connect with your essential self, the part of you that remains constant and unchanged through all of life’s experiences.

Zarah Boden
Always fascinated at the grace and intelligence of the human body and guided by Spirit, Zarah has explored movement through yoga and dance for over 20 years. Coming from a background in ballet and jazz dance, she completed her first Yoga TTC in London,  going on to travel and further her learning in India with intensive studies of Astanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama and Indian Philosophy and various forms of bodywork and energy healing. She has also studied and practices Integrative Breathwork which incorporates breath awareness and conscious breathing for healing, growth, personal awakening and transformation.

Zarah greatest source of inspiration is the breath which you feel as she carefully weaves it into each of her classes.  The breath as a companion to unearth the depths of our being, a way to strip back the layers into our most authentic version and a path to cultivating balance of body and mind, to shine light on the infinite potential within.
