People say

Quotation Mark

A very complete experience, full with important keys to keep reflecting on.

The practices were held in a space in nature- there is no better location.

During the meditation a gentle but solid musical accompaniment created the perfect atmosphere for deep introspection.

I also appreciated very much the exercise to get in touch with the body and to harmonize the breath.

Thanks to Rosi and Daniel for a beautiful experience.

I really enjoyed the rooting workshop of Rosaura and Daniel because it included doing yoga in pairs. We were laughing a lot and at some points impressed by the success of some of the more difficult postures.

I enjoyed the music in the background, played with flute, drums and guitar. The ambience felt more intense this way, which made it easier for me to focus.


Marc from Germany

Everything was really well prepared, Rosaura and Dani created a safe space where I felt eally free and connected with the place, them and the others.

They chose an amazing setting and the music was just perfect for the whole process. I especially enjoyed the yoga in pairs, because I never tried it before and it was really a surprise.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

What exactly are the cave rooms? How is it to sleep in a cave?

In Gran Canaria there is an ancient tradition of using natural caves as accomodation. The caves are very comfortable, because they keep a balanced temperature during day and night. They are open to the outside and the interior is basic and include the beds with fresh beddings, as well as a table and candles. There is no electricity in the caves, but electronical devices can be charged in the house. The caves are located at approx. 160m from the house and 30m from the outside showers and dry toilets.
