WILD POPPY YOGA HOLIDAY AT A TRADITIONAL FARMHOUSE IN IBIZA

MAY 20TH – 26TH 2017

10% early bird discount for bookings made before the 10th February 2017 with discount code ‘ibizafeb10’

Your yoga holiday is in an old Spanish house nestled high in the hills overlooking the northern mountains of Ibiza. Surrounded by natural forest the house is rambling and spacious. The beauty of the landscape provides excellent inspiration for your daily yoga practice. The weather in May is warm and sometimes quite hot. Its definitely T- shirt weather in the day and maybe a light covering in the evenings. There are four bedrooms for our use all clustered around the main Entrada to the house. One room has private bathing facilities, the others have shared facilities. The rooms can be arranged into double or twin rooms depending on your wish. Your accommodation is based on 2 people sharing however there are possibilities for you to have a room to yourself or to be accommodated in a self catering studio situated adjacent to the farmhouse itself. There is also an option to come with your partner or friend who doesn’t wish to participate in the yoga but would like to holiday with you. There are two very comfortable studio apartments available for this kind of holiday arrangement. Please feel free to email with any other special requests.

The Venue

Retreat House

There is a homely kitchen which looks out onto the central courtyard and it is here that you can eat in, helping yourself to a light breakfast and post yoga your lunches will be served here. All the food provided will be wholesome, filling and vegetarian. In the evenings its a 25 min walk or only a short car journey to several local restaurants will be provided where your meals can be enjoyed al fresco and at a good price.

Twin or Double Bedrooms

There is plenty of space for lounging around, reading a book or simply watching the sunset over the mountains before you sleep listening to the sounds of nature. Towels for showering and all bed linen is provided. You will need to bring your own beach towel.

The Yoga

The daily yoga class will start at 9.15am – 11.15am. It’s good to be active early and rest when it gets warmer. There are many wild flowers decorating the island at this time of year especially the colourful poppy. You can go for walks through flowers filled fields or visit the nearby beaches and even take a swim. You will have a chance to restore your limbs with an evening restorative practice again from 7 – 8pm on Monday and Thursday. It is totally different doing yoga on a yoga holiday than at the gym. You will be delighted at how your class gently unfolds and by the end of the holiday your practise will be substantially improved. The warmth and the connection with your surroundings bring out the best in you as the days develop. All the yoga equipment is provided. We will also be practising breathing techniques and other yoga exercises to help you get the best out of your holiday. I personally guarantee you will go home feeling 100% more alive, more relaxed and restored than when you arrived. The evening classes will be a combination of Yoga and Qi Gung , the best fusion to help you sleep peacefully.

Beaches

There are so many lovely beaches and in May they will be quiet and clean with waters so clear that snorkeling is a delight. The nearest beach is the famous Benirras beach – a long standing bohemian beach with restaurants and a hippy market on the Saturday and Tuesday. If you want to really experience ibiza at its bohemian finest you can make a trip on Sunday evening to hear the famous drummers setting a great vibe as the sun goes down over the infamous Benirras rock sat in the centre of this beautiful bay. Please note Can Buho is in the middle of the countryside and you will need to get a taxi to get around. The taxis are all metered and are very reasonable or car hire is also cheap and the roads are easy to drive on at this time of year.
