Welcome to the Iyengar Yoga and Meditation Summer Retreats in the Sierra de Gredos, Spain. One of the jewels that Yoga offers us is to open our eyes to the beauty of life. Through the organic practice of Iyengar Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Krama and the meditative arts we delve into the mysteries of the body and mind.
All of our retreats are taught in English and Spanish.
Entrances to the retreat center are made every day except Saturdays and Sundays. You can come for 2 nights, 5 nights, 2 weeks or even 3 weeks. If you have any other preference contact by private.
During the Summer Yoga retreats we will enjoy the art of breathing, through powerful breathing patterns and pranayamas. We explore the meditative gaze in stillness and movement, integrating traditional practices with free movement, sound vibration and various spiritual dances.
In these Iyengar Yoga retreats we are accompanied by the philosophical weight of Kashmiri non-dualism or also called Kashmir Tantrism. This creates a halo of acceptance and embrace of all that we are.
During the summer retreats we will keep silence for 24 hours from 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday. During this time it will only be allowed to ask questions during the Iyengar Yoga classes (asanas, pranayama and philosophy) and individually to the teachers.

Our summer Yoga Retreats take place in the space of the Hospedería del Silencio and Casa Rural El Pagano, their food, the landscapes that welcome us, invite us to rest. Nothing to do. And it is here that beauty reveals itself, allowing us to abandon ourselves to the game of life.
From the integration of Iyengar Yoga, hatha Yoga, dance and traditional Kashmir Tantra. A contemporary look using visualizations and group dynamics for self-discovery.
The goal: there is no goal. You can drop just as you feel and are in all Yoga retreats, in a safe and cared for space. The purpose is simply to observe you.
From touch and based on the art of Ayurvedic massage from India, we will go through the landscapes of the body, our own and others, through the hands and the inner gaze.
These retreats are aimed at Yoga practitioners and teachers, dancers, therapists, body professionals, and for anyone interested in a week of self-exploration in the Sierra de Gredos.
¿What is Iyengar Yoga and Kashmir Shaivism or Traditional Tantra?
Iyengar Yoga is a modality of Yoga that comes from Raja Yoga and is named after the teacher Bks Iyengar, one of the most important and respected figures within this ancient art and discipline that is Yoga.
Through the work with the asana, pranayama, pratyahara and meditation we are diluting those energetic knots that do not allow us to live from our maximum potential.
At Matrika Yoga School we integrate Iyengar Yoga, Hatha Yoga and vinyasa krama.
Shivaita Tantra has a very broad connotation regarding its meaning. With the word Tantra, a very particular conception of reality itself is detailed and exposes a particular way of observing the world and living in it.
It presents a series of values that are both ethically “good” and on the other hand favor the joy and satisfaction of the human being and the individual.

Testimonials
A necessary gift that we should allow ourselves more often, since it is through interaction with others that we learn the most about ourselves. It allows you to get out of the routine, sometimes suffocating and monotonous. For me it was a journey inside, to observe and recognize my "here and now" and thus continue my path with more clarity and strength. It was a meeting from naturalness, sharing in a group approach to life, experiences and experiences-learning; without fear of vulnerability. To repeat, without a doubt.
A real luxury, being able to enjoy yoga classes in the Sierra Oeste.
Where the attention to detail, sensitivity, and personalization of yoga practice take center stage.
Where the gaze is directed to our interior.
I loved the Pranayama Breathing and opening of the heart course in Madrid, Pablo, a great professional who accompanies you with his naturalness towards the connection with the Consciousness of being. Thank you very much Paul!!
I'm in Barcelona for 2 months and I have had the privilege to have some private classes with Pablo (some others were not but still the same attention). How lucky am. I felt like I improved a lot and I already miss this even if I know I will get back to his classes, such an addiction. Thank you very much!
A detailed and profound vision of yoga, beyond the physical conception. Pablo is the perfect guide on the path of discovering oneself, he pushes your limits, you end up discovering that you are capable of going where you did not believe, an effect that crosses the border of practice to daily life. Thanks, teacher!!
I am taking very special people with me to the south. I arrived with absolutely no expectations and it has been better than I had been able to project.
Wonderful experience to attend yoga classes with Pablo. The excellent teacher, the unbeatable environment. A magical space to recover body and spirit from the stresses of life. highly highly recommended
Me encantó el curso de Respiración Pranayama y apertura del corazón en Madrid, Pablo, un gran profesional que te acompaña con su naturalidad hacia la conexión con la Consciencia del ser. Muchas gracias Pablo!!!
Días después del Retiro con Martha y Pablo, el poso que ha dejado en mi interior es bastante notable. Llevo 7 años practicando Hatha Yoga pero no conocía el Iyengar ni el yoga danza. Podría nombrar una lista de adjetivos extensa para definir lo que siento después de este retiro, pero usaré sólo 3 palabras, Belleza, Armonía e Integridad. Han sido unos días increíbles e irrepetibles, hacen una pareja profesional muy potente. Intentar explicarlo con palabras es difícil, sentir esta experiencia es obligatorio. Om Nama Sivaya.
Unique and wonderful experience is how I can describe the yoga retreat and Tantra philosophy of Cashemira that I have done with Pablo Om Ji and Marta Jap Inder in the Sierra de Gredos. Thank you very much for this incredible experience. I recommend it with 5 stars.
I have experienced a wonderful Iyengar Yoga and Kashmir Tantra Philosophy retreat with Pablo Om Ji. Thanks to his great capacity for observation and attention, he does a very deep job, which allows the group to experience the essence of all the asanas. He helps us to incorporate yogic philosophy into the experience in a spontaneous way, because he is a teacher who listens and puts himself at the service of what happens. His rigor and, at the same time, his flexibility are greatly appreciated.
I have been a Yoga Instructor for 16 years. Two years have passed since I started practicing Iyengar. A year ago I met Pablo Ferrero and went to Spain to practice with him.
I did the training in July, which mainly provided me with the technique of using the tools of this method. I liked the practice in general very much in all aspects: body technique, Pránàyama, Yoganigra…
In Portugal I could have done this training and others, but I like Pablo's way of teaching and I already see him as one of my Yoga Teachers.
Silvie Redol
Pablo's classes are perfect. A very intelligent and complete combination of different styles of yoga with an impressive technical base. He leads the sessions with a mastery like I have seen few. They are intense, deep, very complete and also fun classes.
The retreats are also fantastic, the programs are very well prepared and Pablo guides them with great flexibility, respecting the rhythm of each person and, at the same time, creating cohesion among the participants, but respecting individual freedom.
His collaborators are also great, each contributing their knowledge in different areas. Álvaro Semilla, for example, is wonderful.
And in addition to everything Pablo is an authentic, honest, professional being. Affectionate, respectful and friendly. I wish Matrika would catch me closer to where I live, I would go practice there every day. At the moment I am satisfied with the retreats and online classes when I can attend.
I started with Pablo two years ago, at first I wanted to find a group that did Yoga and nature retreats and I didn't know how these topics were going. The truth is that Pablo gave me a lot of confidence and encouraged me and I had a great time. In the retreats there are wonderful people and Pablo knows how to do them very well. Now I do weekly yoga with him and retreats from time to time. I hope this review helps people who, like me, were a bit lost at the beginning and also Pablo, because people who believe in what they do have to be helped!
With Pablo and Iyengar yoga I have discovered the pleasure of doing yoga and learning to be very present and enjoy each asana.
Thanks to a retreat I came into contact with yoga at the hands of Pablo. I only have words of thanks. A new way of understanding life, a new beginning. Thanks!
Paul is a great teacher. I shared many moments of practice with him and I am very grateful for it. Share in each class everything you have learned over the years in a very special way, in your own way, since I think that is what is important, how each teacher transmits and shares their knowledge 🙏
Pablo is a yoga teacher like few others, very dedicated and trained in the best yoga schools in India.
I am a beginner and it has always made me feel very comfortable
I highly recommend it!
