Their Holiday, in Their Words

  • "A perfect week in Centro Santillán. I loved just about everything about this retreat; the gorgeous old setting surrounded by beautiful gardens, absolutely delicious food, and the yoga studio with a wonderful sea view over the valley….. However, Eva’s and Gabriel’s yoga classes were always the climax of the day, with immaculate and positive teaching, making the classes much more than just an asana practice leaving one with a calm and balanced body and mind. I miss is it already!"

    Katja Duncan, Finland

  • "A heavenly retreat combining the best things of life: yoga, beautiful scenery, lovely people and delicious meals. Eva & Gabriel are teaching with integrity. They are not only teaching us poses but also how to actually live yoga!"

    Catarina Ketonen, Finland

  • "The retreat at Santillán was my first yoga retreat ever. I had the best experience I could ever imagine in a beautiful and peaceful location that contributed to creating the ideal atmosphere. The quality of yoga classes was really high and accessible to all level students, thanks to the competence and attention of the teachers. Overall, it was an experience that words can't really describe and I'm really grateful to Eva and Gabriel for organizing such a wonderful retreat. It is definitely an opportunity to approach yoga in a friendly environment"

    Sara Gandolfi, Italy

  • "Eva and Gabo are wonderful yoga teachers who work together to demonstrate and transmit the principles of yoga to their students. I benefited greatly from the retreat they led at Santillán. It helped me relax and find peace, as well as deepening my yoga practice"

    Padraig O’Cathain, Ireland

  • "The teaching of Eva and Gabriel suits both beginners and advanced yogis. The group had Santillán all for itself, which made it possible to find peace but also spend time together. Long, interesting discussions while eating delicious food, relaxing by the pool and making small trips gave me many new insights"

    Barbro Teir, Finland

  • "Eva and Gabriel create a genuine caring atmosphere in the retreat. It doesn't matter if you have done yoga or meditation earlier or not - they are after something for everyone. Lot of laughs, tears and trustful discussions during the week. And, of course, top-notch yoga classes. Santillán is beautifully located in the mountains. Fresh air, peaceful, quiet place with a wonderful studio and an overwhelming view"

    Katarina Tallqvist, Finland

  • "Amazing retreat in a beautiful place with professional teaching. Deep and smooth introduction to Purna Yoga. This retreat suits students with different levels of yoga skills"

    Marina Laine, Kazakhstan

  • "Normally it takes me a week or more to start to relax on a holiday. With this retreat, I was fully relaxed by day 3 and energised to return to work! Highly recommended to de-stress and re-energise"

    Jason, CEO, Ireland
