SHINDO RELAXING RETREATS IN IBIZA AT 2019
Experience a wonderfully relaxing holiday…
Your opportunity in the autumn on October 26 to February 11!
SunHeart organises relaxation retreats that offer you warmth, light and dedicated time for updating your own body into a more relaxed state.
Experience the Shindo® retreat in Ibiza, with sunshine, incredibly beautiful Mediterranean nature, good food and relaxed flow. The programme (9 hours) includes practical skills from active relaxation and earthing your body to bodyfulness, using the gentle yet effective Shindo method. It helps you to identify tensions in your body and to relax them with the help of gentle stretching and relaxation exercises.
The SunHeart retreat centre is based in an idyllic and inviting 120-year- old country house called Can Bueno, in the village of Santa Eulària in Ibiza. The house is located 20 km from the airport and 16 km from the capital of the island, Ibiza Town. The hostess, a Finnish lady called Katja, is a wonderful person who has transformed the place into a charming oasis where you can relax and refresh your body and mind. She knows the place well and can provide you with the best insider tips for exploring the island and the opportunities it has to offer.
The island is full of things to see and experience, but just relaxing on the terrace, in the sheltered courtyard with its lush grass or by the pool is also a wonderful experience. The weather on the island tends to be sunny in the spring and autumn, allowing us to take all the exercises and activities outdoors. In connection with the house, there is a wooden deck in the shade of some trees that is perfect for Shindo. Mattresses and pillows are also provided. On one day, we will drive to a stunning rocky beach on the northern coast of the island to do stretching exercises there. Most of the food served at the house is made of organic ingredients, and it is a pleasure for all of your senses.
The nearest beach and the centre of the charmingly harmonious village are both a pleasant 15-minute walk from the house. It is also fantastic that the sea water is probably warm enough to enjoy a short dip in the sea, and the beaches are wonderfully quiet at that time of year. There are cafés and restaurants in the town that offer a variety of tapas, delicious seafood and artisan ice cream.
We start our day with refreshing green juice made from fresh, sun-ripened ingredients sourced locally. There is also tea and coffee available. For the next couple of hours, we do some easy stretching and relaxation exercises as well as short, deep relaxation treatments. For the rest of the day, you are free to explore the island with the variety of adventures, stunning natural beauty and different kinds of activities it has to offer. I will also organise two guided walking tours during the week. A rental car is a practical option, with prices being reasonable, particularly in March. Let me know beforehand if you may be interested in renting a car.
Ibiza Town is charming place with a number of inviting restaurants, cafés, shops, and a beautiful old town and a castle. Another larger town, San Antonio, is famous for its summer parties and is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. The coastline is dotted with breathtaking scenic viewpoints and bays, perfect for enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean. Possible destinations for a group outing include a scenic viewpoint overlooking the rocky Es Vedrà island, said to be a part of the legendary Atlantis, or the nearby island of Formentera with its paradise-like beaches. Located a 30-minute boat trip away, it is an excellent destination for a day trip (at your own cost). In addition, the following activities are also available on the island at your own cost: scuba diving, bike or scooter hire, horse riding, stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing, various therapies and treatments, a hippy market and walking tours, for example.
Depending on the room option and the time of your stay, the cost of the retreat is €1,025 to €1,225 per person. The price includes: accommodation in a room for 2 to 4 people, breakfast juice + coffee or tea and another meal (brunch/supper), 9 hours of instructed Shindo classes and two guided walking tours of about 4-5 hours (including transfers). Each participant should organise their own flights; there are good options via Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Alicante, Valencia or Majorca. You can also opt for a ferry from mainland Spain to Ibiza. The retreat best suits about 10 participants at a time. To reserve your place, please pay the reservation fee of €325 (incl. VAT at 10%); the remainder of the price of the accommodation is paid on location. Participants are responsible for their own insurance. You may want to consider coverage for your sunglasses and media devices, for example.

Shindo® can be translated as the “pathway to your heart”. The method is about discovering and releasing tensions with simple but effective bodywork.
