WHERE YOU'LL BE STAYING

There are plenty of diversions for those who opt not to spend all their time on the coast's famed beaches and in their accompanying bars. The old city bustles with taverns and bistros. The generous Paseo del Parque offers a delightful stroll past banana trees and fountains.

"Any reasonable, sentient person who looks at Spain, comes to Spain, eats in Spain, drinks in Spain, they’re going to fall in love. This is the dream of all the world." ~ Anthony Bourdain

"The Yoga Download team made sure we were well taken care of. We stayed at a picturesque villa, ate incredible meals, went on tours of beautiful historical villages, and got to start and end each day with yoga taught by some of the best instructors . This was an unforgettable experience and one I won't forget."
~ Anne S, California

I can't wait for my next yoga download retreat!"

KYLIE LARSON

Kylie Larson, RYT began practicing yoga in 2002 in an effort to give back to her body for all the work it had done for her in previous athletic endeavors. Somewhere along the line she began to see the benefits of practicing yoga far surpassed the physical and helped to deal with the day to day stress that life throws at you. It soon became a passion of hers. Kylie completed the Green Mountain School of Yoga's 200+ hour training and she is now a registered yoga teacher. Her teaching style is upbeat and energetic, sprinkled with bits of yoga philosophy. She likes her students to have fun during class and get a workout, but also wants them to realize it's not just about the asana.

In the fall of 2008 she began to teach spin/yoga, combining the tremendous cardiovascular training of a spin class followed by a yoga class focusing on lengthening the muscles used during the ride, building power and strength, increasing flexibility, and deepening the mind/body connection. This fusion class allows students to work on complete fitness: strength, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility all in one class. By bringing yoga into she spin room, students can learn how to take their yoga into every situation, not just on the mat.

Kristin Gibowicz

Kristin started practicing yoga after a doctor told her she should expect a second back surgery on her lumbar spine. An outdoor enthusiast and a young mom, she refused to accept the diagnosis. She stepped into CorePower Yoga and committed to practicing to see if she’d see any improvements in her condition. With a consistent practice, yoga healed her by strengthening her core physically, giving her body awareness, and reducing stress in her mind and body. Kristin started teaching yoga in 2003 and knowing that 80% of Americans suffer from back problems, felt moved to learn everything she could about the anatomy, breathing techniques to reduce stress and how to transform other’s lives through teaching yoga. “Power yoga brings this exhilarating, cardiovascular yoga practice to “everyday Joes” like me. My goal as a teacher is to share my passion and improve the quality of people’s lives. In each class I hope to help liberate my students both mentally and physically, and leave them in a better place.”
