Are you seeking a lighter yoga holiday, with some free time during the day for yourself? If so, joining us as a yoga holiday guest provides the perfect balance between restoration and deepening your yoga practice.
English
If a full retreat feels a little structured or intense for you, you are welcome to join us as a more relaxed yoga holiday guest.
This gives you the freedom to join in the morning yoga and evening activity if you choose, and you have the day free for yourself; swim in our natural pool or the beautiful Sau Reservoir, relax in the gorgeous grounds, take a walk, journal, go kayaking, have a massage or sleep!
You will share 3 nourishing, homemade meals a day with everyone and share the communal spaces, so you are always part of the Ashiyana community, dipping in and out as you please.
Begin your mornings with energising flows and breath-led practices to awaken the body, then head out into nature where mountain air, open skies, and forest trails invite you to slow down and reconnect. Evenings are for softening and integration—restorative yoga, yoga nidra, sound baths, and quiet reflection under the stars. With wholesome meals, meaningful community, and plenty of time to swim, rest, or explore, you’ll return home grounded, refreshed, and inspired.
Who Is a Yoga Holiday For?
Our yoga holidays are for anyone craving deep relaxation, renewed energy, and a heartfelt connection to nature. Whether you’re a regular hiker or simply love gentle walks, an experienced yogi or a curious beginner, you’ll be supported every step of the way. If you’re seeking space to reset your nervous system, move your body with intention, and feel more alive in the natural world, this retreat offers a beautifully held container to do just that.
Location
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.
We can arrange for a professional guide to lead you on a hike, or the more confident can venture out alone, with or without the support of an app. Whichever you choose, you will find 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.

INSTRUCTORS
Ceri & Charlotte
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.
