Through the integration of Iyengar Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Kriya–Tantra Yoga, our school’s philosophy draws from traditional Kashmir Shaivism and Tibetan Buddhism.
Throughout the retreat, we will explore excerpts from classical texts such as the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra, Spanda Kārikās, and Saundarya Lahari, as well as Kriya Yoga practices such as Nada Sanchalana and Tattwa Shuddhi (purification of the energetic centers).
This transformative journey goes beyond physical postures, inviting you into a process of self-inquiry and inner transformation through direct experience and energy work, integrating visualizations and group dynamics for self-discovery.
We are a non-dogmatic school, open to different spiritual perspectives, and we welcome practitioners from any tradition who have a genuine interest in learning and engaging with our methodology.

Orientative Programme
Arrival at the retreat center from 4:00 PM
Hospedería del Silencio was born from the need many people feel to find a place where they can pause, reconnect with themselves, and return to nature. Its philosophy is based on respect—for others, for the environment—and on creating an atmosphere of calm that supports introspection, rest, and well-being.
Located on a secluded hillside in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos, in northern Cáceres, it is just two hours from Madrid, making it an accessible yet peaceful refuge away from the noise of the city. The surroundings are truly exceptional: unspoiled nature, lush forests, mountain streams with crystal-clear water, and a particularly gentle microclimate that invites contemplation throughout the year.
The space has been designed to host yoga retreats, meditation programs, personal development gatherings, and spiritual workshops, as well as for anyone who simply wishes to rest and enjoy silence. Facilities typically include spacious and light-filled practice rooms, comfortable and eco-friendly accommodation, and healthy, mindful meals—often locally sourced and seasonal.
Beyond its natural setting and services, Hospedería del Silencio promotes a sustainable and conscious way of living, encouraging responsible use of resources and offering a space where guests can disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with what truly matters.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, equipped with both air conditioning and heating. All rooms include a private bathroom and offer views of the Sierra de Gredos mountains.
Vegetarian meals are provided.
We accommodate allergies, intolerances, and vegan diets if communicated in advance through the registration form or at least 48 hours before the start of the retreat.
The retreats are conducted in Spanish with English translation.
