Program
Heartful Motion (formerly: Be Mindful Yoga) welcomes you to their home, where they practice every day, and offer you the possibility to share our home, practice and love for it. Heartful Motion adapts the practice to your physical condition and needs. In addition to that, they also offer services to support your personal development on site during your retreat and online after, once you come back home, if it is need it.
This is not a flashy, touristy yoga retreat. It is not a mere marketing product, but an authentic opportunity to introduce or deepen the use of techniques that can make your life fulfilled, fruitful, and full of love.
The retreat instructions will be offered in English and/or Spanish, except for the constellations activity available only in English (however Heartful Motion will do its best to assist in the translation).
This retreat is neither a holiday resort nor a hotel for spending a few exciting days doing "some" yoga and sightseeing. This is not a place where to disconnect, on the contrary, this is a place to get to know and deepen your emotions, to reconnect and express your Self, and spend time on inner healing and self-development. If you are not open to exploring yourself deeply, with all our love and respect, we advise you not to come here as the experience we are going to offer you will not be to your liking.
The Heartful Motion retreat is based on the practice of yoga and meditation as a balanced and healthy way of life, not as a mere isolated practice done several times a week or a month, but as an integral and balanced way of relating with yourself and the environment. They also incorporate systemic constellations, breathwork, Inside Dance and psychological counseling / personal development tools into the practice.
We will help you to develop a healthy way of living with the food, daily practice of asanas, meditation, pranayama, the chanting of mantras, dancing, self-work, and above all with the implementation of the attitude of being present in daily life, where it is deeply needed through simple but effective instructions.
The Heartful Motion retreat offers suitable tools through yoga, meditation, and healthy and conscious eating so that you can continue at home, in your daily life, and develop in the way that feels best for you. The desire moves and touches us, is that when you return home you continue to dedicate to you a space of time, even if it is small, but quality time every day, having the necessary tools available for you to best "be with yourself", to accompany you in the way that feels best to you.
Heartful Motion can help you adapt the practice of meditation and yoga to your physical condition and needs. Furthermore, to best support your personal path and healing, they offer you the opportunity to participate in systemic constellations, breathwork and Inside Dance (1x per week), where you can find clarity and healing for what truly matters to you.
This retreat is suitable for beginners and those who are coming into contact with meditation and yoga for the first time, as well as for those who want to deepen their knowledge and practice, whose practice is more advanced and/or who feel they are stuck and cannot find a way to move forward. This retreat is not suitable for people who are not interested in a deep emotional work.
This retreat can show you the healthy benefits of living a yogi life, a life from your own (heart) centre, the here and now, even and especially in everyday life.
And this is why the retreat is designed like this:

Once per week, Heartful Motion offers a breathwork or an Inside Dance session instead of the morning or evening yoga class, in case a minimum of six people are participating.
Once per week, Heartful Motion also offers a systemic constellations session instead of morning yoga class
Important information regarding Systemic Constellation Work.
Once per week, in case a minimum of six people are participating, Heartful Motion will be offering "Systemic Constellations" instead of the morning yoga class. The activity will be guided exclusively in English, as the facilitator only speaks English.
This is a short explanation of what you can expect of Constellations:
We are all connected... with those who came before us... with those who follow us..., with our past experiences, the stories we tell ourselves....
If we are looking for healing within ourselves, connectedness instead of disconnection - be it to a person or a goal, an attitude towards life that we desire for ourselves - systemic constellation work offers a pathway. Through it, we can experience clarity and possibly even healing.
In systemic constellations, inner images - conscious or unconscious - are represented by means of persons, so-called representatives. These can change in the direction of healing/solution if the client (the person who wants to work on a certain topic) is truly ready for it and open to what wants to be revealed. What and how exactly this happens can only be experienced, but not cognitively grasped.
Heartful Motion would like to invite you on such an experiential journey. If you like, you can bring up a topic yourself or act as a representative for someone and experience the effect of systemic constellations.
Please let Heartful Motion know if you would like to work on a personal topic at least a week in advance as there are only 2 available spots per session to constellate your own topic.
*Note: Participation in systemic constellations does not require prior knowledge or acting skills. It only requires our innate human ability to empathically resonate with the beings and emotions of others.
**Note: All the non-yoga/meditation activities are contingent upon the presence of Julia & Santi in the house. If one or both of them are absent, it is possible that none or only part of the activities will take place.

Show
Yoga first entered her life in 2015, when she was starting her life as a business consultant, working many overhours and engaging in various toxic and addictive behaviors. While at first, it seemed to her as another "thing to master", she quickly felt like something new was emerging in herself, starting to be truly in touch with her emotions and her true self. Over the years, she completed a yoga teacher training with Gyan Yog Breath, India, as well as an extensive NLP and life coach/ psychologic counseling training and found her true calling doing systemic constellations work.
