The house has 5 double bedrooms with an ensuite, a large dining area, a beautiful sunlit kitchen, a garden with a pool, and an upstairs yoga room with panoramic views of the Tramuntana mountains.
The retreat house dates back to the 11th century and is an important part of the village of Fornalutx. It was impressively modernized in 2019 with respect given to the original features of the house. The house offers an open kitchen that spills out to the terrace as well as a large dining area/living room with two fireplaces. There is also a lower garden which is perfect for a quiet moment of reflection.

Yoga studio
Imagine yoga in a roof-top studio with panoramic views of the mountains around you….welcome to nourish! No matter if the sun is shining or rain clouds are pulling through the valley you will enjoy the ever-changing views and the serenity of this space.
Program
What kind of yoga will you practice at nourish?
In the classes Lisa Axelsson Yoga will bring the focus to your presence and breath rather than how far you can push yourself into each pose. In the morning class, you will flow but will move a little slower than a normal Vinyasa class. Don’t be fooled by slowness - moving slower and more consciously can be much harder than doing 100 Vinyasas quickly. So, the classes can still be challenging at points, but love to balance the strength of the class with a sense of softness too.
The evening practices will be about restoring and calming - you will have a Yin yoga class, a Restorative yoga class, yoga Nidra, and a sound healing session. Although these classes are much softer, they are hugely powerful in settling the nervous system and releasing stress.
All classes will be tailored to the participants in the group, so don’t let “you’re not good at yoga” stop you from coming. The classes will be suitable for all levels, including beginners, and Lisa truly believes that yoga is not about being good at the practice, it's about being good to yourself.
Tramuntana Mountain
No hiking experience required, just a comfortable pair of walking shoes, a level of general fitness, and a desire to be out in nature! The hikes will be about 2-3 hours long, exploring the UNESCO Tramuntana mountains around. The hikes will be tailored to the level of the retreat participants but since you are in the mountains, there will be some uphills to climb and downhills to ride (walk).
If the season fits, then cold dips in the fresh, mountain springs can be included too. Of course this is totally optional!
