The Hiking Experience – Catalonia on Foot
Ashiyana Spain is nestled in a stunning natural park in the Catalonian mountains, surrounded by pine forests, rocky ridgelines, hidden viewpoints, and peaceful walking trails. Our guided hikes are chosen to highlight the region’s grounding beauty—think panoramic paths with sweeping valley views, shaded woodland walks alive with birdsong, and routes that lead to calm reservoirs where you can pause, breathe, and take a refreshing swim.
Hikes are paced mindfully, with plenty of stops for hydration, photos, and quiet moments of presence. You’ll be invited to walk in silence at times, to feel the rhythm of your steps and the steadiness of the earth beneath you. Each route offers a different flavour of the landscape, helping you connect not only with nature, but with your own inner terrain.

INSTRUCTORS
Ceri
Ceri has over 20 years’ experience guiding people back home to themselves through yoga, therapeutic massage, energy work, and holistic wellness. Her journey has taken her from luxury spas and mega-yachts to intimate retreat spaces around the world, always with the intention of supporting empowerment, peace, and embodied connection.
She is a Reiki practitioner, massage therapist, holistic health coach, and yoga teacher trained across multiple lineages, offering Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, meditation, and breathwork as pathways to healing and self-discovery.
Navigating chronic illness in recent years deepened Ceri’s practice and clarified her purpose. Having applied her work to support her own healing, she now brings a grounded, lived wisdom to everything she offers—embodying the belief that when you change your mind, you can change your life.
Charlotte’s journey with yoga began over twenty years ago, amidst the demands of a high-stress city life. From her very first practice, she felt its profound ability to restore balance—physically, mentally, and energetically. This path led her to India, where she immersed herself in traditional teachings and gained her certification at a Sivananda center. For the past 12 years, she has taught at Ashiyana Goa and Spain.
To Charlotte, yoga is a sacred exploration—an invitation to move with awareness, connect with our breath, and turn inward. It is a practice of deep listening, both to the body and to the subtle wisdom within.
With over 15 years of experience in holistic bodywork, Charlotte’s understanding of the body has been shaped by her own healing journey. Recovering from neck and back pain caused by an accident and the intensity of modern life, she found profound relief through movement, breath, and the healing power of touch. She brings this awareness into her practice, offering a space where others can reconnect, release, and step into their own healing journey.
Tobie
Tobie, with a background in Psychology (BSc), initially turned to yoga for relief from chronic back pain. He began his formal training in London with AOCY and later deepened his practice in India.
Tobie’s work is influenced by techniques such as Dynamic & Osteo-thai massage, Chi Nei Tsang, and Fascial Release.
Whilst he sees Asana as a powerful mental and physical therapeutic tool, he believes strongly in the balance that can be obtained through a well-rounded Yoga practice. By trusting our own intuition, rather than any dogma, equanimity can be brought to all aspects of life. There is no substitute for experience.
Tobie is part of the Ashiyana Yoga School’s Teacher Training Faculty, leading trainings in Europe, Indo-Asia, and beyond.
