About this Retreat
Your Guides
Ytamar is a certified 200h and 300h YTTC from Spain, and India. He started practicing meditation when he was eighteen years of age, mainly from a spiritual perspective. Then after he studied many spiritual traditions, and came to the conclusion that they all teach the exact same thing at the core.
Later, he got interested in yoga, especially traditional yoga, or as a mystic calls it, "Antar Yoga". "Antar" means inner, so it is a practice that focuses on our spiritual side but does not forget the exterior nonetheless.
He is an Old and gentle yogi with a great passion for sharing his knowledge, however small it may be.
