JULY 6th - 13th 2024

 

Escape to the tranquil shores of Ibiza and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery with Balearic Retreats. Join renowned yoga teacher Laura Farrier for an unforgettable Yoga Retreat that will remain in your memory forever!

Our week is themed on the Pancha Bhootas (Elements), and we truly cannot think of a better backdrop than our gorgeous villa, nestled between pine trees and a mere walk from the calm waters of Benniras beach, a magical bay, and home to the famed sunset drumming circles.

It’s here that Laura will guide you through transformative morning practices, honoring, remembering, and reconnecting with each element; earth, fire, air, water, and ether.

A heart-led week shared with other women, learning how each element shows up in our lives, both on and off the mat, and the tools we can cultivate to use them and move through our world with more ease and peace.

Fueling our bodies for the week is Gaby, a food creator, and Ayurvedic consultant. Gaby, with her Italian roots, will lovingly prepare our daily post-practice breakfasts and dinners for the week. Using a mix of locally sourced organic and seasonal ingredients, our food will be a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine as well as herbal teas, delicious coffees, and fresh juices using the island fruit. She’ll also be available for one-to-one consults if you’d like to learn more about your dosha and how food can help bring you back to energetic balance.

ABOUT TEACHER

Laura Farrier

Laura started her practice of yoga during university in order to deepen her flexibility and complement her regular dance training. Finding that a regular practice also brought about a sense of peace and balance in her life Laura continued to seek out inspiration from teachers when she lived in Thailand, Honduras, and Canada. Almost 20 years on she is still constantly amazed at how each asana class brings about a new discovery within us.

Seeking a deeper awareness of Yoga she traveled to India at the start of 2008, to complete her first training at the Sivananda Ashram, in Kerala. Since then she has traveled and lived all over India, teaching yoga at the ashram as well as 5 seasons in Goa. Having spent such a devoted amount of time in Yoga’s birthplace, Laura has gained insight into the yogic way of life.

Her belief that we as teachers must continually evolve and learn, once again led her to Mysore, India where in June 2011 she completed her Ashtanga Yoga training. She has also studied Pranayama and Mudra with BNS Iyengar in Mysore, and practices with Stewart Gilchrist when in London, as well as on his retreats.

After moving to Dubai in September 2011 she taught at one of the first Yoga studios in the region, Zen Yoga, for 10 years. Teaching a variety of styles and levels, as well as workshops and private classes., and hosting senior international teachers. Then in 2022, she moved to the newly founded Matcha Club as one of their senior teachers. More recently, she has relocated to just outside Marbella with her family.

During her 12 years in Dubai Laura was regularly featured in the local publications; Yoga Life magazine, and Grazia Middle East, she was a brand ambassador for Body Language Sportswear, Nux, and later Lululemon Middle East, and she taught yearly at the ever-growing event Yogafest (the first of its kind in the GCC). She has run corporate Yoga events for X Dubai, Facebook, Huda Beauty, MAF, Volvo, Adidas, and Al Mouj to name a few.

She has also, since 2012, hosted regular retreats worldwide in Nepal, Ibiza, and Goa, and was a regular teacher at the famed Six Senses Zighy Bay resort in Oman. To expand her knowledge Laura completed her FRC mobility training in March 2020 and then Kinstretch in February 2021.

Laura creates a traditional and disciplined atmosphere in her classes where her goal is to make students feel the full benefits of their practice. Her 15+ years of teaching experience is reflected in her adjustments, clear instruction, and her ability to weave yogic philosophy into her yoga asana classes.
