SOLD OUT :: Beyond Yoga - Mixed Retreat

Beyond Yoga - a space that’s been created for you

For October 2022, Matt (The Bearded Naked Yogi) and Marc (The Blue Tomato Café) have created a retreat that goes beyond yoga.

A retreat where the physical practises of asana are seamlessly combined with meditation, ayurvedic cuisine and sound healing - a retreat where you’ll explore and experience the alignment of your physical self with your spiritual heart through regular hatha, restorative and yin yoga classes, daily sunrise meditations and two extraordinary sound healing sessions.

Taking place over 7 days and 6 nights at the beautiful Finca Sa Garriga Darder on the sun-kissed island of Mallorca, you are invited to join us on this very special retreat and experience the practises of yoga as never before.

This experience is not just about the shapes we create with our bodies; it’s an experience of sharing ourselves and the knowledge we all have in a safe, creative space.

About Matt

Matt has been teaching hatha and restorative yoga for over six years and yogic meditation and mindfulness techniques for five. Through these years, the physical and mental practises of yoga have been his constant companion.

Matt is passionate that the practice of yoga should not be complicated - that it is a practice of simplicity, honesty and of self-realisation and understanding. Yoga is available to everyone, regardless of flexibility or physical strength, and that even the simplest of movements contain benefits for our bodies and minds.

A fully qualified practitioner of reflexology, crystal and colour therapy, Matt perceives the golden thread of relaxation for optimum health and wellbeing that runs through all holistic healing practises.

During this retreat, Matt will share his knowledge and experience of what it means to go ‘beyond yoga’ as he shares his deep understanding of spirituality and philosophy from different traditions; helping you to discover the pure, blissful state of awareness and light that is your birthright.

About Marc

Marc has a passion for yoga, sound healing and cooking in equal measures.

At the head of a thriving business spanning restaurants and cafes for over 20 years, within this fast-paced world of hospitality and his own dedicated yoga practice, he found a deeper yogic calling in 2018 upon completion of his teacher training on the beautiful island of Mallorca.

Teaching regularly, his classes and teachings have been guided towards the more restorative aspect of asana through yin yoga, yoga nidra and sound healing.

Marc regularly uses Tibetan singing bowls and crystal singing bowls in his teaching practice and is honoured to connect with people on this level; he has a fundamental understanding of the power of sound to help us reduce stress, create a deep sense of well-being and to promote our own healing.

Marc believes the combination of healthy foods, aligned with a consistent practice of yoga and meditation allows us to experience on a deeper level of awareness the expansion of our experience throughout our daily lives.

Ayurvedic cooking is paramount for Marc’s connection to himself and it is his teaching that health and wellness depend upon the delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.
