The sight of the almond trees, which transform many regions of the island into a sea of blossom in February, is impressive. The Son Manera Retreat Finca also has numerous almond trees, so you can admire the harbingers of spring practically on your doorstep.
During the hikes (2-4 hours each) and explorations, during which we are out and about in different landscapes, you will experience original villages, colorful markets, the diverse flora of the island and also learn interesting facts about culture and history. A visit to the island's capital Palma is also planned, with its cathedral and winding alleyways. The program also includes a visit to a pilgrimage site that is still important to the Mallorcans, such as Mount Randa with its monastery or the Sant Salvador monastery.
During our week together, Hatha Yoga according to B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga helps us to be in the present moment and explore the island with open eyes. Depending on the daily program, we start the day with a yoga session (1 hour) in the morning. A further exercise session (1.5 hours) is planned for later in the afternoon.
PROGRAM DETAILS
The yoga sessions are suitable for both beginners and experienced participants. The physically precise alignment in the yoga postures of Iyengar Yoga allows you to immerse yourself in deeper layers of the body. This results in "meditation in motion" and a clear, healthy feeling for body and mind.
Depending on the weather, we explore the impressive landscapes of the island on foot on three hikes (2-4 hours each, easy level of difficulty). The exact program depends on the weather and will be announced on site.
Our programs are also ideal for accompanying persons who do not wish to take part in the program but would like to pursue their own interests. Mallorca offers a wide range of opportunities for sporting activities, sightseeing or simply relaxing by the pool or on the beach.
We take a minibus to the starting points of some of the hikes.
For the full-day hikes, you will receive a packed lunch instead of lunch at the finca.
