Yoga English weekend:
Recharge. Reconnect. Relax.

Guided by Lisa Kuriscak

Friday, October 10 (18:00) to Sunday, Oct. 12 (17:30), 2025

Nourish your body, mind and spirit in Perunea, a retreat center that we lovingly run in our ecologically remodeled, 500-year-old Basque home nestled in the beautiful Aralar mountains. This retreat is offered in English, open to any World citizen. Whether you’re a life-long yoga practitioner or just starting off, and whether English is your primary language or one that you’re picking up, we invite you to spend an immersive, relaxing weekend with us.

Our approach to yoga and language has a common thread with the other personal growth activities that we do at Perunea: Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we do our best to

  • meet you where you are and tailor what we offer to your needs

  • help each other live with greater awareness of self and of others, including learning to recognize the false beliefs about our physical, emotional, mental and linguistic abilities (among others) and finding the way to transform them

  • practice being present with our breath, physical sensations, and feelings

  • listen and speak from the heart

  • believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all beings

The experience with each group is unique and special. If you are a student of English, our activities will also help you grow your fluency, listening comprehension, and confidence, whether you’re preparing for an exam or just enjoy the language. And if your English is rusty, don’t worry: You’ll be in a supportive, judgment-free space and you’ll see that you’re capable of more than you thought.

What to expect: Daily yoga practice (morning and afternoon/evening) that emphasizes moving in harmony with the body’s natural intelligence, healthy and delicious vegan meals, meditation in nature in movement and in the house, no-stress conversation in English (or free time for those who prefer it), walks in the forest, and a feeling of being at home and cared for.
