This retreat is based on the practices of Mindful and Heartful Yoga as a way of life, beyond mere daily practice. This is not just a Yoga retreat; approximately once a week, it also includes breathwork (cathartic breaths), dance, and systemic constellations as tools to develop self-listening and alignment with your Being and life purpose. This retreat is designed to leave a profound imprint on you, serving as a foundation and springboard for making effective and real changes in your daily life.

Mindful and Heartful Yoga are practices born from Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga, which facilitate a change in direction and lifestyle habits, reorienting us back to the essential, developing a strong, stable, and balanced mind, strengthening your self-esteem, immune system, body, and overall health, reconnecting you with your most essential and intimate self.

At Heartful Motion (formerly: Be Mindful Yoga), we welcome you to our home, where we live and practice, offering you the opportunity to share our practice and love for it. We adapt the practice to your physical condition and needs. Additionally, if you need help establishing a daily routine, we also offer online services to support your personal development once you return home.

The retreat classes and activities can be conducted in both English and Spanish, except for the constellation activity which, for the moment, is only offered in English (however, Heartful Motion will do its best to assist with translation).

Heartful Motion (formerly Be Mindful Yoga) welcomes you to our home, where we practice every day, and offer you the opportunity to share our home, practice, and love for it. At Heartful Motion, we adapt the practice to your physical condition and needs. Additionally, we offer services to support your personal development, both in-person during your retreat and online once you return home if needed.

This house is not a touristy, luxurious, or flashy yoga retreat. It is not a mere marketing product. It is not a place to disconnect, but an authentic opportunity to start or deepen the use of simple techniques that can make your life full, fruitful, and filled with love. It is a true opportunity to reconnect with the Presence of Infinite Love dwelling in your heart.

The retreat instructions will be offered in English and/or Spanish, except for the constellation activity, currently available only in English (however, they will do their best to assist with translation).

This retreat is not simply a vacation spot or a hotel for spending a few exciting days doing "some" yoga and tourism. It is not a place to disconnect; on the contrary, it is a place to get to know and delve into your emotions, to reconnect and express your Being, and to dedicate time to 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 offer 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 performed several times a week or month, but as an integral and balanced way of relating to oneself and the environment. We also incorporate Systemic Constellations, Inside Dance, cathartic breathwork sessions (Integration Breathing), and psychological counselling/personal development tools into the practice.

We will help you develop a healthy lifestyle with nutrition, daily asana practice, meditation, pranayama, mantra chanting, dance, personal work, and, above all, with the implementation of the attitude of being present in daily life, where it is deeply needed, through simple yet effective instructions.

Heartful Motion offers appropriate tools through yoga, meditation, and healthy and conscious eating so you can continue at home, developing in the way that best suits you in your daily life. The desire that moves and touches us is that when you return home, you continue to dedicate a small but quality time to yourself every day, having the necessary tools to "be with yourself" in the best possible way, to accompany you on the path that suits you best.

Heartful Motion helps you adapt the practice of meditation and yoga to your physical condition and needs. Additionally, to better support your personal journey and healing, it offers the opportunity to participate in systemic constellations, breathwork, and Inside Dance (once a week), where you can find clarity and healing for what really matters to you.

This retreat is suitable for both beginners and those coming into contact with meditation and yoga for the first time, as well as those who want to deepen their knowledge and practice, whose practice is more advanced, and/or feel stuck and cannot find a way to move forward. This retreat is not suitable for people who do not want to delve into and make peace with their emotions.

This retreat can show you the healthy benefits of living a yogic life, a life from your own centre (heart), here and now, even and especially in everyday life.

From experience (and scientific evidence), the Heartful Motion retreat can say that the time needed for noticeable changes in your mental, emotional, and physical state is more than 3 days. However, we will do everything possible to help you establish a consistent and deep practice here that encourages you to continue your journey back home, to the heart, and for this, the retreat is designed as follows:

Note: You can also choose to stay over the weekend, however, no program is planned, nor will food be served, which also means the retreat price will be lower. During that time, you can use all the house's organic products (everything needed for a healthy vegan kitchen will be provided, including eggs from our chickens if available), as well as our kitchen equipment. If you prefer to eat outside the house, please note that no price reduction will be applied in this case, as we provide enough food for everyone at home. Bringing your own food or drink into the house is not allowed, except for medical needs. During weekends, you are free to use all facilities, spending the day at the beach, in the garden, or exploring the area, perhaps going to Valencia.

Silence during breakfast and dinner is strict and mandatory, NOT optional. This practice is considered sacred in yoga, called "Antar Mouna" (Inner Silence).

Once a week, they also offer a cathartic breathwork session (Breathwork) or an Inside Dance session instead of a yoga class. It may be in the morning or in the afternoon.

Important information about Systemic Constellation Work:

Once a week, if a minimum of six people participate, Heartful Motion will offer "Systemic Constellations" instead of the morning yoga class. The activity will be guided exclusively in English, as the facilitator currently only speaks English.

Here is a brief explanation of what you can expect:
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 seek healing within ourselves, connection instead of disconnection - whether with a person or a goal, an attitude towards life that we desire for ourselves - systemic constellation work offers a path. Through it, we can experience clarity and possibly even healing.

In systemic constellations, inner images - conscious or unconscious - are represented by people, the so-called representatives. These can change in the direction of healing/solution if the client (the person who wants to work on a particular issue) is really ready for it and open to what wants to be revealed. What and how this happens exactly can only be experienced, but not grasped cognitively.

With all our hearts, we would like to invite you to this experiential journey. If you wish, you can bring your own topic to constellate or act as a representative for someone and experience the effect of systemic constellations.

Please let Heartful Motion know as soon as possible if you would like to work on your own topic and if you are willing (or not) for this type of deep work. Only 2 places per session are available for constellations, although you can always participate as a representative.

*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 non-yoga/meditation activities are subject to the presence of Julia and Santi in the house. If one or both are absent, it is possible that none or only some of these activities will take place.

Getting to the house from the airport and/or downtown Valencia is very easy and affordable.

You have 2 metro lines at the airport, both of which take you to XATIVA metro station in downtown Valencia. It's about 20 minutes and costs around €7.

Once at XATIVA station, you cross the street to VALENCIA NORD train station. Look for the train to GANDIA, but get off at TAVERNES DE LA VALLDIGNA. The journey takes about 40 minutes and costs around €5.

From TAVERNES, the only option is a taxi. We live in the countryside and there is no public transport available. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride costing around €10.
