All about the location

Tramuntana Flow is a retreat centre that brings together the best yoga facilities and beautiful accommodations in a peaceful environment that helps to restore the mind-body-soul balance through yoga, meditation and nutrition.

The yoga shala is equipped with all necessary props: mats, blocks, straps, blankets and bolsters. The spacious room is flooded with natural light and the 3 big window-doors offer the magnificent views of the valley and mountains. The sound of birds and nature are the background music in savasana. The 300 sqm open-air yoga terrace has astonishing views to the mountains and valley, where orange, lemon, almond and fig trees thrive and a wide variety of local herbs and aromatic bushes entwine themselves along the paths and gardens. It is the perfect space to practice in the fresh air.
