Our new offer

A new Summer School was born. Our new range of courses for the month of August will be held in Aldeaduero, a leisure complex, located in the heart of the Natural Park of Arribes del Duero (Salamanca), in the Spanish-Portuguese border.

Natural Paradise

This natural paradise, whose shores border the old majestic and sacred "Durius", is a perfect place to discover "the scent of being". Its silence and its green exuberance offers the perfect setting to experience, through Yoga, life embracing us, revealing itself in the deepest part of our body and our consciousness.
