Sivananda Hatha Yoga with Saara Satyadevi
Hatha Yoga is an aspect of Raja Yoga (focused on concentration and meditation). It starts with the physical body and goes on to work with the energies of the astral body.
The Yogi regards the physical body as an instrument for his journey towards perfection. Yoga is a natural way to gain health and balance in your life. It activates self-healing and balances our emotions to get in touch with our inner happiness again. Yoga is a key to a healthy, whole and long life. The beginning of Yoga goes many hundreds of years back. Sure is that Buddah (500 before Christ) has been already a Master in Yoga. Yoga benefits all three main aspects of life, the body, the mind and the spirit. Yoga is simple and fits easy into your everyday life. A little Yoga is better than no yoga. Only a few days of yoga practice will give you a better body feeling and strengthen your health. If you follow the practice of yoga regular you gain mental clearness, harmony and the view to a more conscious life.
The goal of Yoga is to be in harmony with one-self and the outside world.
While many exercises only benefit the body, yoga benefits the whole person. The yogic system of asanas (meaning steady pose) emphasize deep breathing, relaxed movements, and mental concentration. Asanas develop the entire body mind and spirit. Practicing asanas can also help you discover your true potential. Yoga benefits physical health, stress related problems can lead to muscular tension and exacerbate back problems. Yoga has been used to cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strenght, flexibility and reducing stress. Yoga is highly recommended for people in stressful working environments, for those who suffer from headaches, back and shoulder aces, allergies and asthma.
We follow the 5 points of Yoga:proper exercise (asanas) proper breathing (pranayama) proper relaxation (savasana) proper diet (vegetarian/vegan) positive thinking and meditation (Vedanta and Dhyana)
We will start slowly adjusting to each body. We never force any pose. It is important that you feel comfortable and safe while doing Yoga exercises. Day by day you will notice yourself how easy you gain flexibility. Deep yogic breathing (pranayama) helps to cleanse and nourish the physical body, and to relax the mind. Yoga is a holistic form of exercise and it benefits go way beyond the physical, and into the mental and emotional fields. Yoga benefits all ages and you can start at any age to enhance your lifestyle.

About Tarifa
Tarifa is a small town situated on the Iberian Peninsula, on the most southern point of Spain, where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic meet. Surrounded by untouched nature, this small fisher village with its incredible views to the African mountains remains as one of the last undiscovered mass tourist places and because of all its natural parks the building industry was not able to overrun this little paradise. In the Gibraltar straight you can see the dolphins and Wales on a small boat trip, or even cross in 30 minutes to visit morocco.
Renewing your energy with Yoga and Meditation classes, Horse riding, climbing, windsurfing kite surfing bird watching or an endless walk on the beach, swimming in the crystal clear ocean and sipping a drink at one of the few bars on the beach while watching the sun set over the sea, all this will make your holiday here in Tarifa an unforgettable experience.
What to bring:bring your own beach towel. bring comfortable clothing, bath suit and a jacket or jumper for the early morning meditation and cool evenings. Yoga mats are available to use on the retreat, but you can bring your own if you wish.
