Thursday 17th July - Tuesday 29th July 2025
ASHTANGA YOGA & PRANAYAMA SADHANA IN DEPTH
10 DAY RETREAT IN SIERRA NEVADA WITH KIA NADDERMIER
SESSION 1: JULY 17-29TH 2025 (limited space left)
Join Kia Naddermier for a retreat in the magnificent mountains of the Sierra Nevada to deepen your practice and understanding of yoga as a whole – allowing its subtleties to unfold and blossom.
Arrival day is 17th July with a group transfer from Malaga airport at 13h and departure day is 29th July when a bus will drop off at Malaga airport at 12h noon for afternoon flights.
We open our mornings with seated Mindfulness meditation and Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style classes, where you receive individual guidance from Kia. Some led classes focused on specific aspects of the practice will also be offered. Drawing heavily from traditional Buddhist- and Yogic teachings, afternoon sessions are dedicated to Philosophy, Satsang, Meditation and Pranayama. (For established Pranayama practitioners, Kia may offer pulse reading and individual progression of practices).
Kia will share her experience and guidance as we allow space for a daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama, Kriyas (yogic purification techniques), Meditation as well as Philosophy and Satsang. Integrating all aspects will take your practice to the next level of awareness, allowing its subtleties to unfold.
Alongside the yoga practice there will be optional activities including a day trip to Granada or the beach, vegetarian cookery with our local chefs, hiking in the mountains and, of course, hanging by the pool…
Run by the British couple David & Emma Illsley, Las Chimeneas is a truly authentic and unique pearl, located in one of the most beautiful and energetically powerful spots in all of Europe. The accommodation is lovely, with plenty of antiques, books, nooks and crannies. Many rooms have fabulous views across the hills to the distant sea. The food is delicious - organic, vegetarian, locally grown. Yoga classes are held in the outdoor shala which nestles in olive groves, overlooking the mountains and in the newly built village shala with magnificent views. This is a magical place to retreat, re-charge and give yourself space to deepen your practice.
The course is open to all levels of practitioners familiar with Ashtanga Yoga.
Prices run from 1250€ for all 12 days depending on room, including single timed 13h airport transfer from Malaga to our mountain village, accommodation, all meals, local activities and full yoga training.
For return fights on 29th July we offer a group transfer with drop off at 12h for flights from 14h or later
