Iyengar Yoga and Silence Retreat: “Antar Mouna, Inner Silence”

Winter Retreat · Antar Mouna: Inner Silence
December 4–7, 2025
📍 Casa Rural El Pagano, Sierra de Gredos (Ávila, Spain)
Led by: Pablo Ferrero and assistant teachers from Matrika Yoga School

Immerse yourself in a transformative retreat in the heart of nature, where the deep practice of Yoga is combined with self-inquiry through the technique of Antar Mouna, an ancient method for observing and quieting the mind.

During these days, we will work through the integration of Iyengar Yoga, Hatha–Kriya Yoga, and Classical Tantra Yoga. Special emphasis will be placed on the practice of Silence, maintaining silence for 48 hours—from 10:00 pm on the day of arrival until 9:00 pm the day before departure.

Throughout this retreat, we will explore the six stages of Inner Silence, a practice that guides us toward contact with the Self, beyond mental noise, sensory distractions, and judgment.

We will also include a reflective writing practice to observe our path—together.

We will share a space of introspection where, through attentive self-observation and connection, we will explore where we come from, where we are, and where we wish to go.

This is a path we do not walk alone, but together—opening doors to reflection and personal discovery. An invitation to turn inward, to listen, and to share what arises from that silence.

The 6 Stages of Antar Mouna

• Awareness of the body: entering into physical sensation
• Observation of spontaneous thoughts: without analysis or judgment
• Creation and dissolution of thoughts at will
• Renewed observation and discernment (Viveka): learning to let go
• Inner silence: cessation of all mental activity
• Dharana: stability of attention
