The magical isle of Ibiza is surrounded by sparkling blue sea and pristine beaches. The terrain boasts incredible natural beauty with rocky coves, crystal clear waters and tall pine forests. The island carries a wild and free vibration that was popularised by the hippies of the 60’s. Since then bohemian travellers and seekers, artists and creatives from all walks of life have spent time living out their dreams and birthing new ways of being. The unique energy of the island is both powerful and nurturing — it creates the perfect platform to recharge among the Mediterranean sunshine and slow pace of living, while surrounded by unspoiled nature and a vibrant community.
Unio Boutique hotel is nestled in front of Es Vedra, one of the world’s most magnetic points and 10 minutes walking from a quiet beach and provides a space of serenity to retreat into.

ALL OF YOU IS WELCOME
This immersion is a safe container to remember your true nature — an opportunity to let yourself feel, listen and move from the internal messages of the heart, overcoming separateness to return to connection, wholeness and love.
We will journey through practices and philosophies that meet us in the full spectrum of our humanity — honoring the messy and beautiful, perfectly imperfect parts of ourself. We will celebrate yoga as a living practice and explore the ancient yet relevant teachings of self-discovery that provide a map home to our personal and Universal Truths.
Together we will rise into our radiance.
