Celebrate the summer solstice in a seven-day retreat dedicated to life, light, and the elements. This immersive experience is designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit for many moons to come, with daily movement, meditation, time in nature, satsang, storytelling, and practical yoga philosophy led by James Boag.

Set in the sunlit valley of Vió, the experience also includes meditative walking and hiking through the majesty of Añisclo Canyon and the beautiful mountains surrounding Casa Cuadrau.

Activities
What if life were a celebration? This retreat invites you to remember that we are nature, and that we are also consciousness itself. Through the teachings of yoga, we are encouraged to reconnect with our belonging to the earth, to honor the full range of human experience, and to celebrate the richness, vastness, and beauty of life.
James’ approach to yogic movement draws on yoga as skilfulness in action, with practices that integrate body, mind, and senses. Morning movement sessions will help gather energy, tune the system, and support a lifelong personal practice. Workshop sessions will explore subtle movement, coordination, organic strength, improvisation, and play.
In practical yoga philosophy, James shares the heart of the living yoga tradition with clarity, devotion, and more than thirty years of teaching experience. His satsang sessions offer space for shared inquiry and reflection, helping to integrate the retreat experience in the mountains and in practice.
