Immerse Yourself in the Essence of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism

Dive deep into the essence of yoga, meditation, and the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism in the natural setting of the Sierra de Gredos!

We invite you to join us from April 15th to 20th, 2025, for a unique experience at the idyllic Casa Rural El Pagano. This retreat, led by Pablo Ferrero, offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in yogic and meditative practices, with a special emphasis on compassion and forgiveness. We will explore fundamental concepts such as impermanence, mind emptiness, compassion, and karma as factors of illness or health.

We all understand the importance of compassion and forgiveness for living a life free from anger, resentment, and excessive self-importance. In this retreat, we will engage in practices that help us review and heal past experiences, which leave behind behavioral habits and emotional patterns that accompany us on our journey.

During the retreat, you will explore various disciplines, including:

  • Iyengar Yoga and Hatha Yoga
  • Meditative and self-analysis practices from Tibetan Buddhism
  • Readings from selected fragments of the most relevant Tibetan Buddhist texts

"Yoga and Meditation Retreats in Sierra de Gredos - Centro de Retiros El Pagano"

Since 2015, we have been organizing Yoga retreats in the picturesque Sierra de Gredos, with this particular event taking place at the welcoming Casa Rural El Pagano. This rural retreat was designed with the intention of immersing travelers in a natural environment perfect for bird watching, observing mammals, and experiencing diverse flora.

Guided by an exceptional human team, composed of Manuel, Paqui, Scot, and the entire team of chefs and volunteers who, after many years, have become a family for the Matrika Yoga School.

In our retreats, we take pride in offering a fully vegetarian diet, with experience in catering to various intolerances and allergies, such as gluten and veganism, among others.

The rooms, all with exterior views, provide an exceptional level of comfort. We offer accommodation in shared rooms for 2-3 people, with a very limited number of spots available for individual accommodation.

Provisional Programme

This Yoga and Shivaite Tantra retreat is an intimate encounter with your true self. It is taught through the integration of Yoga, meditative arts, and Kashmiri Shaivism. An intimate Easter Week retreat for 22 people set in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos. Immersed among oak trees and mountains… a quiet, beautiful, magical place, perfect for bidding farewell to Winter and spreading your wings into Spring. Pablo Ferrero accompanies you along with a great team of facilitators and assistants.
