A Retreat Experience Beyond Expectations
Reflecting on this week's retreat experience has been truly enriching! 🌅 From the serene sunrise over the valley flowing down to the Mediterranean Sea to the ancient carob and olive trees, lemon and orange groves, and even bluebell trees – each moment felt like a painting come to life. Each day was a delightful blend of yoga, invigorating walks, and nourishing vegan meals, but what truly exceeded my expectations were the diverse workshops offered. 🧘‍♀️💡 From insightful discussions on nutrition and philosophy to deep dives into anatomy, every session left me feeling inspired and enlightened. But it wasn't just the activities that made this retreat special; it was the warmth and camaraderie of the people, all sharing a common journey towards wellness. Whether it was silent walks amidst nature or moments of reflection during meditation, every step felt purposeful and profound. And let's talk about the food – oh, the food! 🍽️ Fresh, local, and organic, each meal was a delicious celebration of flavours, nourishing both body and soul. And for those seeking relaxation, there were sunbathing sessions and heavenly deep tissue massages to melt away any tension. In the end, this retreat wasn't just about physical rejuvenation; it was a holistic experience that nurtured mind, body, and spirit. Grateful for the memories made and the lessons learned. 🙏

Hi Lindsay Thank you so so much for your kind word😊 And I hope all is well back in London and in Hove too 😊 It means a lot to me that you liked the nature here and above all the workshops - I really do enjoy teaching them and it was so nice to have your questions too 😊 And I agree totally - everyone on the retreat was working on such a beautiful path moving forward. It was such a joy for me to be in the company of you all. Bev was so happy when she read that you liked the food. Your kind words really do mean a lot 😊 So so grateful to have met you and to know you 😊 Keep up on your beautiful journey. Namaste Namit

Amazing YTT experience!
I did the yoga teacher training 200h in Nov-Dec 22 and it was wonderful. Namit is a great teacher and very knowledgeable, I enjoyed all of the teachings. There was always laughter and space for questions and a welcoming feeling to all. We gained a lot of information about yoga in a very versatile way. There was a lot of emphasis on philosophy and this was my favourite part as well. The schedule can be intense (for 23 days) so be prepared for a challenge, but this way you are completely immersed in the joy of learning about everything, so it's definitely doable. The food was amazing the surrounding area is beautiful and the house we were staying at was very nice as well. After the training I feel confident to share this knowledge to others and am excited to do so. I think this is a great choice for yoga teacher training and an amazing place to learn about yourself, others, the world and yoga of course!

Hi Anni I hope all is well back in Finland. We miss you so much! Hope your teaching journey is going well. Thank you so much for your kind words. Well a lot of the laughter came from you and it was so nice for us to have your company and your wisdom. I still often think a lot about your ways of teaching forward folds for beginners. They were excellent and really would help beginners to open their hips. Also Anni's fish pose was such a gentle but deep opening I am sure all of us on the course will always remember. My instincts tell me that your path of teaching will be a truly joyful one. And I am so glad that you like philosophy too as it is something that I truly enjoy teaching. Thanks once again for your kind words. Namaste Namit

Yoga Teacher Training
I did my 200hr YTT with Namit and i'm so glad I did it with him! It was wonderful. I loved his extensive knowledge and wisdom on Anatomy and Yogic Philosophy and also really enjoyed the fact that we were taught in a relatively small group. The food and all the things we learned about health were amazing as well!! I felt like it was a very holistic course. I loved how Namit was compassionate, open-minded, humble and how he really lives Yoga! The needs of the group were completely met and I enjoyed the classes a lot. It was quite a lot of information and an intense schedule, but it was also so much fun and mind blowing to learn all of this. I loved how Namit made it work and really conveyed Yoga so well. I also liked the fact that we practiced teaching throughout the whole course. Would really recommend booking here!

Hi Cynthia I hope all is well back in the Netherlands and that you are enjoying combining your clinical psychology work with your yoga teaching. I told you before you came that it is a wonderful combination and I still think that now. I do miss our interesting conversations about Jung and psychology and philosophy. And I really miss the guided meditation on unconditional love you gave us as part of your teaching practice that was inspired by your mum. You have the soul of a true yogini. Thank you so so much for your beautiful and kind words. Yes I love teaching small groups too as I can really get to know you and see you improving. It is such a pleasure to teach in this way. And it is true the teacher training course can be intense but you and your classmates all did really well and I am so so proud of all of you. Thank you once again for such beautiful words. Namaste Namit

A Very Special Retreat
From my initial enquiry; when I was sure I had found the place for me; including all correspondence, throughout the whole retreat, the standard of excellence was always evident and very impressive. All due to Namit Kathoria, the organizer. In La Vall de Laguar, SE Spain it is a perfect tranquil setting for the boutique style hotel which is transformed into a sacred space by Namit and his small team. A welcome pack is provided with all the information about the retreat and associated aspects such as local organic farms providing the foods, complimentary practitioners, yoga, nutrition, local towns and walks. A wonderful library of books on yoga and philosophy and CD’s is available. Namit’s knowledge of yoga, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and philosophy is inspiring, solid and complete, and his teaching is unsurpassed. The two yoga sessions morning and evening were well paced and very instructive. All instruction was calm and extremely clear and encouraging. Afternoons were filled with walks and workshops; on Journalling, Asanas, Alignment and Nutrition. The periods of silence in morning and evening were a way of inviting total rest and relaxation and securing the learning process, giving time for reflection. This aspect, was the reason I was particularly interested in Yoga Sutra Shala. Bev the chef produces the most mouthwatering vegan organic plant based food imaginable, supported by two kitchen assistants, all of whom has a ready smile and calm disposition. Bev was always happy to explain the source of the food and method of preparation and tips on cooking. Food was plentiful and available 24hours. Accommodation is extremely comfortable with breathtaking views from the hotel. A very reliable and helpful taxi service is provided by James and his wife Tracy who ensure you get to and from the location on time. I have been left with a feeling of contentment, reflection and gladness of finding such a wonderful place to enjoy and expand my practice. I will be returning for sure! Thank you all.

Highly highly recommend
Highly highly recommend Yoga Sutra Shala retreat in Spain! It was amazing, affordable, and the teacher, Namit, is one of the kindest people I've ever met. I learned so much from him about yoga, meditation yoga, philosophy, and nutrition. We went on some beautiful walks. The accommodation was really comfy and nice and the vegan food was tasty.

A peaceful, enjoyable, active yoga & meditation retreat
My week at this retreat was so peaceful, it was lovely to be surrounded by nature, learn about practising yoga and meditation, and meeting some kind friendly like-minded people. The Yoga Sutra Shala family is also so welcoming and knowledgeable, I recommend picking Namit's brain for facts about nutrition! Speaking of nutrition, the vegan food is delicious, and comes straight from farm to plate (local and organic). You can choose to hike, swim, or relax every day between the classes. I would recommend to anyone open to learning and connecting with themselves (note you should be open to a more spiritual approach for this retreat!) Thank you for a lovely time and hopefully see you all again soon :)

Great stay in a wonderful site!!!!
As a couple, we spent 5 days in this yoga retreat in February 2020. Yoga was new to us and we were very excited. We were warmly welcomed and the group (all super nice) was small enough to really understand everything as a beginner. We ate very well vegan, received 2 yoga classes every day and all teachers were great. We also meditated a lot: you can learn that too ;-) We will continue with yoga. Unfortunately, these 5 days passed far too quickly! We can really recommend this retreat: 5 STARS !! Beate and Hanno

An inspirational and nurturing week with caring lovely staff.
A beautiful tranquil place with stunning views where one could enjoy the peaceful meditation garden or gaze at the mountains and surrounding countryside. Freshly picked oranges from the many orchards of Valencia and delicious and irresistible vegan dishes [even for a non-vegan!] Wonderful restoring meditation and some beautiful chanting. Excellent teaching of yoga with caring thoughtful individual attention. The warmest of welcomes on arrival from the lovely Malwina who was always available when needed. Namit and his team gave us an inspiring week.
