THE SITE

We are very happy to host our course work at EarthYoga in Santa Catalina. Here is the address so you may look on a map.

EARTH YOGA – c/ St. Magi 81A – Palma de Mallorca

Please do not contact the studio with questions regarding this course. David and Mirjam are the main contacts for all questions.

The studio will act as our home base for morning asana practice and most of our lecture sessions. The studio is equipped with blocks, bolsters and belts for all students. We encourage you to bring you own yoga mat.

There is a changing area at the studio as well as a shower.

There is no food provided at this training. Santa Catalina has wonderful markets and restaurants near to the Yoga studio and several parks near by for pic-nic and prepared lunch / dinner.

HOUSING

There are several options for housing at the 5 Elements Trainings.

If you have your own connections and places to stay, please be certain that you are close enough to the Santa Catalina neighborhood to be on time for early morning classes and able to safely return home at night (after 9PM).

We have connections for short-term rental apartments that can hold anywhere from a single person to four people together ranging from €30 – 40 per day for the entire flat. These are the recommended options for trainees and sharing the rooms with other participants is a great way to experience the course and the growth that will come with it. All apartments by our recommended renting agents will have fully functioning kitchens and bathrooms and are well maintained by the ownership.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOUSING ISSUES. All contracts and housing agreements are between you and the renting agent and are separate from the price of the course. All apartment rentals must be regarded as independent transactions outside the scope of participating in the program.
