Experience a sound bath in the Tramuntana mountains
Step into the rooftop studio as the Tramuntana mountains go quiet, feel the resonance of singing bowls settle through you, and let the evening do its work.
The evening practice arc and why it matters
Each evening at the retreat moves through a deliberate sequence: a Yin yoga session that targets the deeper connective tissues through long, held postures; a restorative practice that uses props and stillness to invite the body to release; Yoga Nidra, a guided state of conscious rest that sits at the threshold between waking and sleep; and a sound bath using singing bowls, whose resonance travels through the body in ways that are difficult to describe and easy to feel. This progression is not arbitrary. It is designed to shift the nervous system from the sympathetic state, the one that keeps you scanning, planning, and bracing, into the parasympathetic. By the time you lie down for the sound healing, most people find the transition has already begun.
Morning energy, evening stillness, one complete day
The morning session is a different animal entirely. Dynamic flow influenced by Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha traditions builds heat, moves through linked sequences, and asks something of you physically. That contrast is intentional. A body that has moved well in the morning is more ready to surrender in the evening. The two practices are not competing; they are complementary halves of a single rhythm. After an afternoon hiking centuries-old cobblestone paths through the Sóller Valley, you arrive at the evening session already a little more present than you were at breakfast. The full arc of the day, movement, nature, stillness, is what makes the sound bath land as deeply as it does.
Eight people, one room, no performance
Every session is led by Lisa and capped at eight participants. That is a deliberate ceiling, not a logistical footnote. In a group that small, Lisa can see what the room needs and adapt accordingly. No one is performing for anyone else. Beginners are not singled out; more experienced practitioners are not held back in ways that matter. The focus throughout is breath, presence, and whatever the nervous system needs that evening. Some nights that means longer holds. Some nights the sound bath extends because the room has gone somewhere worth staying. The practice meets the group, not the other way around.
You lie down expecting to relax, and somewhere between the first bowl and the last, you stop expecting anything at all.
Benefits
Intimate group, full attention
With a maximum of eight participants, every session can be adapted to the people actually in the room. Lisa adjusts the practice to the group's level each evening, so no one is left managing a pose that doesn't serve them.
Genuinely beginner-friendly
The evening practices, Yin, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and sound healing, require no prior yoga experience. The emphasis is on breath and stillness, not technique, which makes them accessible from the very first session.
A setting that does half the work
The rooftop yoga studio looks out over the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains. Mountain silence is not a marketing phrase here; it is what you actually hear when the singing bowls fade. The 11th-century stone retreat house holds a particular quality of quiet that a city studio cannot replicate.
Restoration woven into every day
The sound bath is not an add-on. It sits within a full daily rhythm of dynamic morning yoga, guided mountain hiking, and vegetarian meals prepared from local, organic, seasonal ingredients, so the evening practice is the closing note of a day already oriented toward recovery.
Sound bath questions, honestly answered
Do I need yoga experience to participate in the evening sessions?
No experience is needed. The evening practices, Yin yoga, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and the sound bath, are built around stillness and breath rather than technique. Lisa adapts every session to the group in the room, so complete beginners and more experienced practitioners practise alongside each other without either feeling out of place.
What happens during a sound bath session?
The sound healing uses singing bowls whose resonance is felt as much as heard. You lie down in a comfortable supported position, and the bowls are played around and sometimes close to the body. The vibration has a measurable effect on the nervous system, and most people find the experience deeply settling, though it can surface unexpected emotion too. Lisa leads the session, so you are held throughout.
What should I bring or wear for the evening yoga sessions?
Comfortable clothing you can lie still in for extended periods is all you need. Props, mats, and blankets are provided at the retreat house. Layers are useful, especially for Yoga Nidra, when the body temperature can drop as you move into deep rest. The rooftop studio can be cool in the evenings depending on the season.
Can I skip a session if I need more rest?
The retreat is designed to nourish, not to push. Participation is never compelled, and if your body or mind needs a quiet evening instead of a group session, that is a legitimate choice. The intention of the whole programme is to help you listen to yourself more clearly, and sometimes that means opting for stillness on your own terms.
Let the sound bath be the thing you didn't know you needed
The five-day retreat in Fornalutx runs with a maximum of eight people, so places are limited by design. If the evening practices described here are what you have been looking for, the next step is to get in touch and find out when the next retreat runs.
