About this Retreat
Valentina brings a life-long devotion to yoga, healing, and embodied presence into every retreat she leads. Born in Cali, Colombia, and having lived, studied, and immersed herself in the rich cultural landscapes of Spain, England, France, and the United States, she holds a deeply worldly yet deeply intimate perspective on personal transformation.
Her journey with yoga began at the age of 13, evolving from early curiosity into a heartfelt vocation. In 2014 she travelled to India, where yoga’s living traditions pulse through the valleys and rivers, to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, an experience she describes as life-changing and deeply transformative. Since then, her teaching has been guided by integrity, intuition, and a genuine commitment to supporting each individual’s growth.
Since settling in Tuixent in 2016, Valentina has grown her offerings from a single weekly class into a vibrant schedule of four classes each week, including a dedicated children’s practice. Her approach is gentle yet empowering, rooted in awareness, compassion, and attentiveness to each student’s unique journey.
Her training extends beyond the physical practice: she is certified in Reiki (Level I) and has completed specialised training in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, bringing depth, sensitivity, and grounded presence to every session.
Details of this retreat
Realign Pyrenees is an intimate retreat designed for those seeking clarity, privacy, and refined comfort, set within a private mountain venue in La Vansa, a secluded valley of the Catalan Pyrenees with more than a thousand years of recorded history. At 1,300 metres above sea level, the setting is defined by clean air, wide horizons, and a deep sense of stillness that naturally invites recalibration.
The venue offers premium amenities and thoughtful design throughout, comfortable private and shared rooms, warm communal spaces, and quiet corners to retreat into solitude. Every detail is curated to support rest and ease, allowing guests to fully disconnect from external demands while feeling exceptionally well cared for.
Each day begins with grounding yoga sessions led by Valentina, combining mindful movement and breath to restore balance and presence. The rhythm of the retreat leaves generous space for integration, whether through silent moments, nature immersion, or unstructured rest.
Nourishment is central to the experience. Daily meals are prepared in-house using high-quality ingredients sourced from trusted local producers, reflecting the seasons and the land. The cuisine is simple yet refined, designed to support vitality without excess.
Nature remains ever-present. Guests are invited to explore rivers, forests, and open valleys, with optional cold plunges beneath a nearby waterfall for those seeking renewal through contrast. As evening falls, the pace slows further, moonlit walks, quiet conversation, and nights beneath one of the clearest, most unspoiled skies in the region.
Realign Pyrenees is intentionally small and discreet, preserving a sense of exclusivity and safety.
