Balance Within: A Sāmya Retreat

Saturday 20 March - Thursday 25 March 2027

Mallorca, Spain

Out of the city’s hustle, this is your spacious pause. Five nights centred on practice, nourishment, and community.

Balance Within is a space where you can unwind and find your centre amidst life’s busyness. Set over the spring equinox, mornings open with meditation and breath-led movement; afternoons ease into slow flow, nidra and breathwork. We come together for evening rituals of yin, slow movement, and a full-moon ceremony. There’s plenty of free time and fresh, seasonal meals each day. Whether you’re new or experienced, you’ll be met where you are—held by a kind, inclusive community.

Come back into balance, at your pace.

ABOUT THE RETREAT

WHY THIS RETREAT

Most of us don’t need another thing to be good at. We need somewhere to stop.

Balance Within is five nights in the Mallorcan countryside in early spring before the island fills up. Days are mild, evenings are cool enough for blankets, and the shala sits on a hilltop looking out across the valley.

This is a retreat about rest, and not only the sunlounger kind (though there’s time for that too). It’s rest as a practice: yoga nidra, slow breath-led movement, and breathwork that help your body remember what “enough” feels like, so you can find it again at home.

The week is shaped by two thresholds. On arrival evening, we open with an equinox circle to land, set an intention and mark the turn of the season. Two nights later, the full moon rises, and we gather for a ceremony of movement, breath, reflection, and rest to set down whatever you've been carrying through the winter.

Come as you are: new to practice, returning, or simply stretched thin and in need of a kinder pace. Solo, with a friend or with a partner. Options are offered throughout, and nothing is compulsory.

The Venue

Set in Mallorca’s quiet countryside, our venue includes a beautiful finca with a hilltop open-air shala, an infinity pool, and plenty of calm corners to rest.

It’s a simple, thoughtful setting for steady practice, shared meals, and unhurried evenings.

The Shala

An open-air hilltop shala with wide views and plenty of breeze—ideal for sunrise meditation, breath-led flow and slow evening practices. Fully equipped with mats, blocks, bolsters and blankets.

The Rooms

A mix of inviting rooms and unique stays across the finca’s grounds, thoughtfully furnished and close to communal spaces. Comfortable, calm and set up for proper rest.

The pool

An infinity pool with sun loungers and shaded areas—perfect for cooling off after morning practice or relaxing in the afternoon pause.

Cuisine

Delicious, organic vegetarian meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We’ll eat together in a relaxed, communal setting.

Communal Spaces

Rooms are spread across the finca's grounds, close to the shared spaces. Each is calm, comfortable and set up for proper rest.
