Yoga Retreat
with Jeanne Heileman
You are invited to join Jeanne Heileman on a luxurious retreat in the heart of the Catalonia region of Spain. Known as the land of castles, we will be staying in a medieval country house which has been restored and updated, using ecological facilities wherever possible.
Jeanne will guide practices themed on Prana, the Life Force, which feeds the soul and the five senses.
Yoga practices twice a day will gently open your body to increased respiration. Pranayama practices will be woven into the yoga classes to feed your subtle body with this vital Prana. Meditation practices will sooth the nervous system and the mind, which controls the five senses.
Each day we will bring more attention to one of the senses through our practices and the daily activities. Beyond the yoga hall, you’ll be invited to join gentle mountain walks and forest bathing, as well as short excursions to discover some of the charming nearby villages. These experiences are designed to complement the inner work, offering balance, grounding, and renewal.
You will learn how to nourish each sense from within, bringing a sense of balance and healing to each form of consciousness. By the end of our time together, you will taste the fullness of your life with full enthusiasm.

Nurture Your Spirit With Us
THE VENUE
Deep in the heart of Catalonia, surrounded by quiet forests and endless sky, lies La Garriga de Castelladral, a restored medieval house where time seems to soften. Stone walls hold centuries of stillness, and every corner feels infused with intention. This is a place where nature, history, and comfort exist in quiet harmony.
You’ll find spaces that carry the memory of what they once were, and the warmth of what they’ve become — like the old threshing yard, now a wide open terrace with views of Montserrat, where sunsets stretch across the hills, or a small library, that invites rest and reflection, wrapped in warm tones. Every corner holds a story, every detail speaks of care.
Here, the elements conspire to awaken the senses. The food is seasonal and nourishing, lovingly prepared with ingredients from nearby land. Every meal becomes part of the practice, a meditation in taste and texture. The architecture, the air, the warmth of shared space… everything invites you into presence.
As we journey through our senses — through breath, movement, sound and stillness — this space holds and supports us. Grounded in simplicity and beauty, it offers the perfect setting to reconnect with your inner life force, and to rediscover the fullness that has always been within you.
