Yoga, Meditation and Cosmic Celebration: Solar Eclipse Retreat


9th - 14th August 2026

This is quite literally, a retreat of a lifetime.

On the 12th of August, Asturias will experience a total solar eclipse, an event that will not be repeated for 375 years! This retreat is all about celebrating this great cosmic moment in a fully conscious way.

The first days of the retreat will be spent in finding the yoga practice that is best suited to you personally. You will learn the Saoirse Yoga method to energize and experience deep connectedness.  

The day of the eclipse, we will wake up, do yoga, meditation and chanting and then set out from the doorstep of the yoga shala on a three hour mountain trek to a nearby peak

At the moment of the eclipse itself, we will be standing on the peak with views of the ocean  and the 3 massifs of the Picos de Europa to witness it.

Before the cosmic event, we will have three days of meditation, yoga and healthy eating to tune our consciousness so we may be fully present in observing this incredible phenomenon.

After the event, we will have a day of yogic celebration, which will include live music  and weather permitting, a bonfire on our moutain ridge.

 

Soairse is a new exiting and transformational form of yoga with roots in the Ashtanga Vinyasa and Vipassana traditions

The yoga sessions will be led by the legendary Indian Ashtanga Yoga teacher Kamal Singh, a world master in the art of hands-on adjustment.

The meditations will be guided by Simon Loughlin, author of “Living the Body’s Wisdom: The Saoirse Yoga Method” and co-founder of Asturias Yoga.

We will also be assisted by some special local musicians

Food at Asturias Yoga

We provide 2 vegetarian meals per day —  large brunch and dinner–along with a snack in the afternoon. We do our best to source our vegetables locally according to the season, use primarily organic and vegan ingredients, and provide many home-made specialties, such as sourdough breads, spicy chai, nettle pesto, mountain spring water, fresh herbs for infusions, and marmelades from our fruit trees. Meals are designed for a nutritionally balanced diet, with foods that are easy to digest, grow in a sustainable way and full of vitality. 

If you are someone who traditionally has a large appetite or prefers multiple snacks throughout the day, you may also bring your own food/snacks to supplement. The closest large supermarkets are in Cangas de Onis or Posada, both approximately 20km away.  There are various smaller shops nearby in Benia (2km from the yoga center) and at the “Campsite Picos de Europa” (1km down hill from the yoga center).
