A Yoga & Culture Holiday in Historical Mallorca
with Danielle Satya Parla
July 18-25th, 2017
Set in one of the oldest regions on the island, the traditional Mallorcan village of Porreres is famous for it’s delectable apricots and relaxed local living. It’s a gem that remains off the radar for most tourists and it provides a beautiful insight into traditional Mallorca. The primary focus of this week is YOU. Unplug and immerse yourself in Mallorcan living, yogic practices and find the space to breathe away from the demands of daily life. Enjoy the traditional village of Porreres, eat delicious vegetarian cuisine and explore Mallorca off the beaten path - beaches, nature reserves, villages and vineyards, Mallorcan gastronomy, and sightseeing and shopping in Palma.
For more than 20 years Danielle Satya Parla has naturally married her work in psychology with the wisdom of the
Eastern ancient sciences. Trained in classical Indian Hatha, Yin, Kundalini and Ayurvedic Yoga, she has
shared her understanding of the ancient teachings with students in Japan, Canada, NZ, India, Nepal,
Spain and Switzerland. A certified breathworker and Reiki master, Danielle empowers you to practice the
tools that move you towards greater presence, health and joy.
I look forward to welcoming you.

It is easy to drive or take the local bus into the vibrant capital city of Palma for an afternoon of shopping, eating at trendy restaurants, and visiting the beautiful old town and local attractions like the spectacular Santa María cathedral overlooking the Bay of Palma and the Almudaina - a Moorish-style Arab fortress converted to a royal residence.
