Embodied Ashtanga | Pranayama | Meditation | Buddha Dharma Bhāvana:
The Path of Cultivation
with Kia Naddermier
14-21 February 2026, Purple Valley TENERIFE
INFO & BOOKING: YOGAGOA.COM
Kia weaves an embodied approach to Ashtanga Yoga with classical Pranayama (Kaivalyadham-lineage), Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation and Compassion Practices.
Being a devoted practitioner in Yogic and Buddhist traditions she draws heavily from both streams of wisdom. During the retreat we immerse into these somatic teachings as vehicles of insight, inviting us to awaken our heart through the wisdom of our body.
Whether exploring Asana, Pranayama or the Buddha Dharma, we work from a non-dogmatic, inclusive and creative place, open for personal inquiry.
The retreat is open for students with an established Mysore Self Practice.

“Bhāvana or the Path of Cultivation, is not another self-improvement project that places our happiness in some unspecified future. These teachings point us directly to the resources available to us in this moment. We have all we need right here to take the next step, and see meaningful change.”
Retreat Schedule
Morning Practice begins with a Mindfulness Meditation, cultivating deep awareness aligning body, breath, heart and mind. A couple of guided Master Classes will be offered at the beginning of the retreat to expand our understanding of embodied anatomy, energetic movements, actions and principles of Asana.
These comprehensive practice sessions will offer new insights to be explored in the Mysore classes that follow. It will allow for your personal practice process to evolve, while receiving individual support from Kia to further deepen your experience. With a sincere dedication to the growth and development of each of her students, Kia offers a warm, inclusive and inspiring space open for personal inquiry.
Afternoon Sessions are dedicated to the philosophy and practice of traditional Pranayamas in the lineage of Kaivalyadham as well as reflections around the Buddha Dharma, Meditation, Satsang and exploring essential Movement Principles of Yoga Asana.
These mindfully crafted afternoon sessions allow each practitioner to develop transformative skills and embodied resources to help grow their personal practice from a place of deep authenticity and clear understanding.
New students will be mindfully introduced to classical Pranayama & Kriyas, whilst those with more experience will refine and deepen their practice and understanding.
