Spain • Mallorca • 7 nights • July
Embark on an evolutionary experience of being human at this yoga retreat in the powerful heart of the island of Mallorca with international yoga teacher David Lurey. Experience what it feels like when body, mind, emotions and soul vibrate in harmony - with intensive yoga sessions from different yoga styles and the heart-opening and connecting power of music, David accompanies you, in a charismatic and cheerful way, in making a new experience in being human.
David has been inspiring his students for more than 20 years not only as an experienced Vinyasa, Bhakti, Acro and Green Yoga teacher, but as a passionate musician he also touches the hearts of listeners at yoga festivals worldwide with his bhakti sounds.
This week at the enchanting Son Manera Retreat Finca, you are invited to engage in different forms of movement with your program leader David to learn how you can move your body in different ways - we will explore mobility and strength in both held and flowing forms.
The morning sessions consist of movement-based exercises that include yoga, various other forms of exercise and lots of exploration of how our bodies work. Each morning practice will be at a level that is safe for beginners and also supports more experienced practitioners in body awareness. In addition to the movements, David weaves valuable and practical philosophy into each class with themes and concepts related to the movements of the day. With the morning sessions, David wants to address body, intellect, emotions and spirit equally.
The afternoon sessions will be a combination of restorative yoga, yin yoga and slow hatha yoga to support our nervous system in slowing down and accompany the process of regeneration and healing.
On three nights we come together in singing to open our hearts and experience the feeling of connection in community with mantras, heart songs and perhaps one or two pop songs.

Just as magical as the view at daytime, is the view at the starry sky at night... also the soul wants to be nourished...

“Green Philosophy” - Sustainability and local coexistence
Sustainability is a very important topic for us. Our guests can get fresh water from the water dispenser all day long, so that there is almost no plastic bottle-rubbish. Waste separation is still an unpopular topic in Mallorca, but it is getting more and more important. We set very high standards and separate everything that can be recycled.
Anyone longing for some tranquillity and peace - this is the right place to be! Whether by the large outside saltwater pool with sunbeds, or for those cooler months in our large spa area and heated indoor pool with 2 saunas and an infrared cabin. Enjoy strolling through the olive groves, or chill in one of the cosy chill-out areas –including the roof terrace with stunning views, perfect for an afternoon meditation.
We offer 6 times a week 2 times a day open yoga sessions. Our main outdoor yoga platform has a stunning view over the countryside and a smaller one is tucked away in our olive grove. Inside the main building we have 2 more yoga rooms, the smaller one overviewing the village and the large one the countryside.
The retreat center offers the right environment for unwinding and relaxing.

It includes a selection of fresh fruits, homemade bread, a variety of cheese, homemade jams, porridge, yoghurt, orange juice, coffee and a good selection of teas.
