Requirement: An open heart and an open attitude (or at least an intention to move in that direction!)

The most important requirement is that you’re willing to explore, discover and expose yourself to the unknown - and maybe at times that’ s a bit uncomfortable (its ok, discomfort can be a gateway to growth!).

Even though we know this path like the back of our hand the journey is always new… it’s an adventure we’re taking!

No need to worry, we will be there for you :)

We usually walk between 15–20 km (9–12 miles) per day. You don’t need to be an athlete — a moderate level of fitness is enough. If you can walk comfortably for a few hours, you’ll be fine. This isn’t a race — it’s a journey, and there’s always time to pause, breathe, and take in the beauty around you.

That said, walking every day can bring its own challenges. Some moments might stretch you — physically, mentally, emotionally — and that’s part of the process. You’ll be supported along the way, and we’ll always hold space for your unique rhythm and experience.

Also, if you are unable to walk the day's distance you are almost always able to grab a taxi — and that’s perfectly okay too!

Not at all. There aren’t beginner or expert levels. The practices offered are accessible and designed to support your personal journey—no matter where you're starting from.

This journey is less about “doing it right” and more about being present, curious, and open to discovery. You'll be encouraged to connect in a way that feels true for you.

We will explore yoga, meditation, breathwork, walking meditations, mindfulness & transpersonal group dynamics. Sattva Yoga, an integrated holistic yoga practice coming from the Himalayas in India, forms the basis of our yoga practice. It incorporates ancient wisdom and personal evolutionary practices together with contemporary science and mind body research.

The practice includes powerful breathwork techniques, kriya/kundalini, asana (postures), meditation, mantra, partner work and freedom movement. The focus will be on the sacred tradition and practice of Kriya Yoga. Through these practices, you can cultivate greater levels of vitality, mental clarity, deep insights, and the experience of feeling luminous, open, receptive, and in flow. THE PRACTICES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL!

These practices meet us where we are at. They are designed to awaken each practitioner to our true nature, raise our consciousness, cultivate, balance and reprogram specific aspects of our being and nervous system. They provide us with a complete and powerful pathway to Self Mastery.

We will meet and start in Ponferrada (accessible from Madrid, Santiago de Compostela and A Coruna - where there are international airports).

Our journey together will conclude at Terra de Luz (Sai’s home on the Camino), in Montan, near Sarria - which is also well connected with transport options.

Well, first and foremost, they are all hand picked with the intention to create very special, cosy, intimate experiences. We know personally many of the hosts in the albergues where we will stay - some of them have been our good friends for over 10 years. It’s like going back home! Each place is chosen for its spirit and authenticity, offering a true pilgrim experience.

The types of accommodation settings will vary a little but the experiences that we most treasure are those with a communal meal and spaces to connect and share our journey.

If you choose a private room you maybe staying in another location in the same village. But it is always our intention to meet at the end of the day, and share circle and a meal together.

You’ll receive a detailed packing list once your spot is confirmed, but think: good walking shoes (already worn in!), lightweight layers, a backpack that’s not too big, and an open heart.
