The Living in Balance Retreats offer an unique and enriching experience that revolves around the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the concept of the 5 Elements.

In the theory of The Five Elements, Autumn is associated with the Metal element. Our intention is to guide you in nurturing your body and mind during this seasonal shift.

Autumn is the moment of harvest and recollection. Its energy leads us to focus more on our interior and is the ideal moment for the study and planning of our projects and jobs. 

 

In this residential workshop we will explore:

  • Ashtanga Yoga morning practice 
  • Yin Yoga sessions, specially designed to balance the meridians of the Metal element
  • Conscious Plant-Based meals thay incorporate whole foods, organic produce and seasonal ingredients. 
  • A cooking class during the retreat, focusing on the best foods and cooking techniques to nourish the Metal element. 
  • Yoyu will also learn a basic Shiatsu massage routine focused on the meridians corresponding to the current season 
  • Time for yourself to relax, read or just be in nature


The retreat isn't just about structured activities; we encourage you to take your time to relax, take care of yourself, feel, and do whatever you need.

Living in Balance Retreats have envolved from a deep friendship and a desire to share their knowledge and expertise with the world. Over the years, they have worked with various professionals and clients from different parts of the world, broadening their understanding and appreciation for a lifestyle in sync with nature.

CECILIA CERZA

After a few years of practicing different styles of yoga in various parts of the world, I was introduced to the Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga method by Prem and Radha Carlisi while living in Indonesia.

Ashtanga became my main personal practice and lifestyle. I was fortunate to continue learning from incredible and inspiring teachers along my path, such as Kristina Karitinou in Greece, and to travel to Mysore, India, where I return each year to practice under the guidance of Saraswathi Jois, daughter of the great Master Pattabhi Jois.

As a Zen Shiatsu practitioner, I love incorporating the principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) into my Yoga classes, especially when guiding Yin practices.

PILAR LLORET

After a 16-year professional career as an engineer, I decided to change my personal and professional direction.

A few years earlier, I had already changed my eating habits, and this gradually transformed my perspective on life, my values, and how I wanted to continue living. I moved to Barcelona, where I spent a few years studying and training as an integrative nutritionist, specializing in therapeutic and macrobiotic cooking, among other disciplines. My interest has always been in understanding how food and cooking influence us and how they can bring us harmony and peace.
