HEALTHY MAYS

INTRODUCTION SAMADHI SOUL YOGA RETREAT

​

Come and recharge on one of the most magnetic islands in the world.

Wouldn’t some time out to unwind and totally relax be divine? 

Join us to get away from it all and help your soul shine on the infamous white island, to retreat and nourish yourself in our magical villa in paradise surrounded by nature. 

A chance to switch off from responsibilities and unplug from day to day stresses, putting a spring back into your step. 

​

This transformative week will help you find the reset button via an exploration of ‘balance’ in all its aspects.  We will be embarking on experiences of yoga and breathwork, through to a range of uplifting and relaxing activities and most importantly nourishing ourselves with delicious nutritious gut health themed plant based food.  We will be rebalancing the body and mind connection through movement and the flow of breath, reconnecting our inner worlds to the world around us. Through our daily asanas and body work we will strengthen and realign our bodies. And through gut healthy nutritiously designed food & individualised nutrition assessments we will allow the flow of energy to both cleanse and rejuvenate our digestive systems. 

 

This is more than just a yoga retreat, this is a healing transformational week to help destress, detox & re-balance your body nutritionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, helping your soul to shine.

 

SAMADHI SOUL YOGA CLASSES

We (Mays & Scarlett) will hold space for you throughout the retreat inviting you to move into a safe, effective and therapeutic yoga practice. Tapping into the transformative energies that the island of Ibiza offers, we go back to basics and engage with the opposing elements of masculine & feminine, yin and yang, sun and moon, heating and cooling. Working to synchronise movement with breath we invite more harmony and balance into our bodies and souls. If yoga is quite new to you we will make sure you can access the postures with modifications suited to your level and if you are a long time practitioner we will give you some extra coaching to take your practice to the next level. 

 

MORNING SESSIONS
We will start every morning with a Dynamic Yoga Practice based on elements from ashtanga vinyasa to activate your physical and energetic bodies. Using breathing techniques such as pranayama and meditation, we will support you to balance your physical, energetic, emotional and mental bodies. Most importantly we will ensure that the morning sessions are a fun way to engage with yourself on many levels, experimenting with different styles of yoga.

 

AFTERNOON SESSIONS 

In the afternoon we enjoy a different flavour of relaxing practices that allow us to tune into and balance our emotional and mental levels.
Meditative yin and hatha sessions are your invitation to slow down and cultivate a loving and gentle attitude to yourself. Throughout the week we will explore practices that open and release at the level of the heart centre. Taking time to tune into how and what we are feeling whilst cultivating more appreciation and gratitude towards ourselves. 

​

EVENING YOGA NIDRA SESSIONS

The evening practices will be a beautiful and nourishing time to integrate the experiences of the day into our system helping to send us off to a blissful sleep.

Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a very special practice in which we introduce the seeds of change into our subconscious to support positive and beneficial transformations. If there is some habit or addiction that you are working to eliminate from your life, this practice could be the key to long term change and healing. Research has proven that yoga nidra practises can help to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, improving sleep and mood disorders. 

​

COMPLEMENTARY NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATION
This retreat is all about addressing individual needs on all levels with nutrition being a hugely important aspect. As a fully qualified Nutritionist as well as yoga teacher Mays will provide every guest with a 30 minute nutritional consultation. Whether you have digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, stress, anxiety, insomnia or any other chronic conditions, every guest will receive personalised nutritional advice to help learn how to make long lasting lifestyle changes, regaining vitality, with tools to take home to move towards living life the Healthy Mays way.

Trained in many different healing techniques and disciplines Scarlett is skilled in a range of different treatments.  Whether you have a specific injury or you simply want to destress Scarlett will give you a wonderful session of healing according to your needs.

 

SAMADHI SOUL NOURISHMENT 

Food is life. What we put in our body directly impacts on our health and wellbeing. We will be eating healthy, plant based, gluten free, nutritious meals that will replenish and invigorate, filling us with energy and increasing our life force.

SAMADHI SOUL LOCATION
The ‘white island’ is simply enchanting and glowing at the start and end of the seasons in May & September. The beaches are heavenly & less crowded, the water is warm and the island has an atmosphere of peace away from the busy-ness of the summer months. We invite you to receive the transformative power and high vibrations of the Scorpio island, supporting your personal journey in a space of openness with us looking after your every need.

​

In Sept 2023 you will be staying in our gorgeous Ibizan finca, you will be right on the sea where you can watch the sunrise every morning and step out of your bedroom to have a dip in the ocean before practise, located in a quiet secluded part of Santa Eulalia. How divine does that sound?

​

For 2024 we have a stunning new villa close to the lovely village of Santa Gertrudis surrounded by nature, blissfully peaceful and beautifully decorated, with a padel tennis court too & gorgeous pool - we fell in love with this haven the minute we stepped foot in it.

​

Our beautiful havens are close to some of Ibiza's most beautiful beaches such as Cala Llonga, Cala Martina, Cala Pada, Cala Oliviera, Cala Nova & Cala Llenya - with many more close by & some wonderful hiking tracks too. All beaches are surrounded by Ibiza's natural beauty and here you can find small coves with transparent paradisiac waters.

Our villas have the most peaceful healing energy, you will feel like you have escaped from it all with total stillness and serenity surrounded by stunning nature, oceans and mountains with nothing but the sounds of birds singing around you.

It is very common for lifelong friendships to blossom during Samadhi Soul retreats due to the positive energy & magical vibrations of our stunning retreat venues
