About this Retreat
YOGA TEACHER AND DIRECTOR OF ALAYA YOGA PROGRAMS
Born in Belarus, Alex Nairanovski's spiritual journey began early. In the USA, he discovered Kundalini yoga's magnetic pull, honing his skills under Anya Castellano. Immersed in the diverse culture, he made Kundalini energy universally accessible. Alex later took this transformative power to Ecuador, establishing himself as a Yoga teacher in Quito. Today, he continues to travel, teach, and learn, spreading Kundalini Yoga's light through online platforms, retreats, and collaborations. Alex has been teaching in Alaya since summer 2023 and currently is our resident yoga teacher. Alex's journey serves as an inspiration, reminding us that the path of enlightenment is both personal and universal, and the light within us can illuminate the world. Alex intertwines guitar melodies with soulful mantras, elevating his yoga teachings into a harmonious journey of sound and serenity. He also employs singing bowls, creating resonant vibrations that serve as a therapeutic symphony in his sound massages and healing practices.
REIKI HEALER, ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR, MEDITATION WITH HORSES TEACHER AND FOUNDER OF ALAYA RETREAT CENTER
Ellen obtained a Masters Degree in psychology, and a Doctorate in Information Systems at Harvard and MIT, and worked for many years in the academic and consulting world. In 2005, she started to focus on what life was really about, and educated herself in healing techniques. In 2008, she dedicated her time to build Alaya Retreat Centre. Ellen has worked with groups for over 20 years, and completed 2 years of the Four Cycles TM integrated healing program. She also has her Masters in Reiki, which allows her to teach reiki to other students and work as a reiki healer. In addition, she participated in a first level teacher training of Yin Yoga and has a diploma in sound therapy level I and II, to give healings with Quartz Bowls. In 2017, she became educated as a horse assisted coach and animal reiki healer. With this, her circle was completed and she is now healing all types of animals with 2 or 4 legs.
Antonio is a talented holistic therapist whose path in the wellness field started since his young age. He offers an intuitive therapeutic massage as well as art workshops and soundtherapy with singing bowls and voice activation. He has participated in several art residencies during his travels, therefore he has a wide expertise in art and wellbeing.
Mirjana joined us straight from India where she completed all her trainings and the biggest part of her yoga journey. From this holy land she brings the traditional practices such as Hatha yoga and Yoga Nidra, combined with the more modern Yin and Restorative yoga.
She is a big fan of soundhealing and plays tibetan bowls to give meditation sessions for groups and individuals, chakra balancing treatment combined with aromatherapy and sound therapy with bowls massage. She speaks and leads classes in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
Details of this retreat
YOGA AND MOVEMENT
Join us for a funny and dynamic retreat aimed at boosting your energy and celebrate summer
Through walks in the countryside and hikes to the waterfall.
Allow your body to express freely in creative movements and yoga!
Our yoga and movement retreat programs cater to individuals seeking a tranquil escape for a few days or weeks. Select your preferred dates and enhance your experience with optional services like massages, reiki, sound baths, and horse meditation.
In this retreat we combine the sacred practice of yoga with free body movement sessions, in order to rejuvenate your body and mind in a funny and light way.
Come and join us for a few days in our yoga and movement program! You can chose your start date, any day of the week and can stay for the amount of days you would like.
Enjoy our pool, our animals, our yoga and movement classes and indulge yourself in the extras like massages and reiki healing sessions.
While the physical and mental benefits of yoga are widely acknowledged, the profound impact it has on our nervous system often goes overlooked. Yet, this relationship is truly fascinating and holds tremendous benefits for our overall well-being.
Our nervous system plays a pivotal role in regulating every aspect of our body and mind – from the simplest of actions like breathing to the most complex cognitive functions such as speech. Yoga offers a pathway to balance and equilibrium, empowering us to navigate life with poise and grace. It serves as a powerful tool for restoring harmony, countering moments of agitation and anxiety with a sense of spiritual calm and tranquility.
In this retreat, you'll have the opportunity to experience firsthand the transformative effects of yoga on your nervous system. Through guided movement sessions, invigorating yoga classes, and calming pranayama exercises, you'll embark on a journey to cultivate inner peace and balance.
To complement your retreat experience, indulge in delicious vegetarian meals crafted by our talented chef.
