Balance Within: A Sāmya Retreat
Laura Childs
rest. reconnect. recharge
Join us for a 5-night retreat on the beautiful island of Mallorca. This retreat is a special opportunity to slow down, reconnect with your inner world, and find balance in a serene, natural setting.
Whether you're seasoned or new to these practices, this retreat is an inclusive, welcoming space for everyone to relax, recharge, and feel at home.
This retreat is all about embodying our studio’s vibe—creating a space where you can unwind and find your centre amidst life’s busyness.
These five nights are designed to give you a peaceful escape to breathe deeply and focus on what really matters. In a world that constantly demands your attention, you're invited to pull back, place your hand on your heart, and return to your centre.
This retreat is open to all - no prior experience required.
yoga, breathwork & MEDITATION
Yoga for Every Body
Daily yoga sessions are tailored to all levels and focus on movement, mindfulness, and balance. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, you’ll find these practices grounding and revitalizing.
Breathwork
Experience the power of breathwork to help you release stress, increase mindfulness, and find clarity. These sessions are designed to guide you into a deeper connection with your inner self.
Meditation
This retreat is all about rest. From gentle yoga and deep relaxation techniques to meditation and nidra, we’re creating a space for you to slow down and truly recharge.
full moon ceremony
On Sunday night, we’ll embrace the energy of the full moon with an extended evening ceremony, including movement, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and nidra.
Sound Healing is the practice of clearing the mind & deepening relaxation using live sound and music. You'll be lying down (or seated if you prefer) with the option of using cushions, blankets & eye masks to enhance your relaxed state.
There is nothing for you to do except rest.
Throughout the retreat, our movement sessions will help you connect with your body, releasing physical stress & fostering a sense of inner peace. Our workshops will help you embrace your true self. In the evenings, sound healing, nidra and meditation weave these experiences together, quieting the mind & opening the heart.
market day
Santanyí Market is one of the most vibrant & popular markets in Mallorca, located in the charming town of Santanyí in the island's southeast. The market runs every Wednesday & Saturday, from early morning until about 1 p.m, it’s a must-visit for both locals & tourists.
The market is renowned for its wide variety of fresh produce. Beyond food, it’s also a hub for artisans selling handcrafted goods, such as jewellery, ceramics, leather products & home decor items.
Santanyí is a town known for its golden sandstone buildings & picturesque squares. The stalls spread out across Plaça Major & nearby streets, with the backdrop of the town’s historic architecture, giving the market a charming, authentic Mediterranean atmosphere.
Shopping at Santanyí Market is not just about buying goods; it’s also a social experience. You can enjoy conversations with local vendors, try Mallorcan specialities like ensaïmada or sobrasada, and immerse yourself in the lively energy of the town.
LEISURE TIME
Every day will offer plenty of free/me/we/she/he time to do what your heart desires, incl. not doing anything at all!
Bring along your journal and your favourite book to relax by one of our two pools with.
Or take out one of our bicycles (helmets provided) for the 6km ride to our local beach, the stunning Es Trenc. It’s a beautiful ride, passing horses and the occasional peacock en-route.
And if you really want to get active, we have recommended hikes, bike routes, boat hires…you name it. We got you.
Relax and recharge during ample leisure time, enjoying the serene surroundings, connecting with fellow guests, or indulging in self-care activities. Whether you choose to lounge by the pool, explore nature trails, or savour quiet moments of reflection, this is your time to unwind.
