Uplifting ~ Playful ~ Joyful
Bilbao Yoga Retreats – was founded by Kat in 2014 offering a homely and welcoming space for all. Kat fuses her many years of experience in the yoga, wellness, and healing-arts world to create effectively, grounding, and inspirational programmes at her home in the Basque Country. The retreats are a perfect mix of free time and together time so if you fancy a healthy weekend in northern Spain with some vinyasa yoga thrown in - this is the one for you!
The colourful curriculum on retreat ranges from nature walks, morning breath work, sun salutations, yoga sessions, visualisation, play, dance, cold water swimming to healthy food, relaxation and silence, culminating in a radiant internal vibration, a sense of inner peace and vitality, a sparkle in their eye and a sense of renewed excitement for life.
Retreat Location
Bilbao Yoga Retreats is in the Bizkaia region of Bilbao, Spain, close to Bilbao airport with easy transport access to Madrid, San Sebastian, Biarritz and Cantabria. This lush northern land deep in the heart of the Basque Country is one of Spain’s best-kept secrets with its rugged coastline, wild waves, and vast green landscape.
All sessions, tuition and classes are held either in Kat’s Grounded & Graceful home in the neighbourhood of Neguri, or in her studio in Las Arenas - both of which are located in the town of Getxo, about 20 minutes far by metro from Bilbao city center.
If you need somewhere to stay Kat is very happy to offer you a pleasant and economical room on the lower ground floor of her family Grounded & Graceful home. Please note, Kat´s two children and the dog will be running around. You’ll find beamed ceilings, little windows looking out onto the garden, a selection of beds and a nice big table for meal times! There is also a shared bathroom with a shower, bath tub and space for your bits and bobs. The vibe is very hostel like and you will suit people looking to spend time with others and make friends.
More Accommodation
As space is very limited at Kat’s home, she also offers a fresh selection of both private and shared en suite rooms, at her husband’s guest houses in Bilbao centre complete with wifi, mini-fridge, hairdryers and coffee making facilities. All rooms are newly decorated, have a daily cleaning service and are close to all the city amenities.
