Our story is one of connection, transformation, and shared passion
It all began over ten years ago in the coastal town of Peñíscola, where two paths crossed on the yoga mat.
What began as a student-teacher relationship blossomed into a friendship and a shared vision. Together, they created the Asana Association in Peñíscola — a space to learn, grow, and reconnect through yoga, movement, and presence.

I grew up dancing — it was my whole world. I started at the age of four and eventually became a professional dancer, dedicating my life to an art form that demands constant discipline, perfection, and external validation. For years, I lived in a world where I was constantly judged, always pushing, always striving. On the outside, I was achieving my dream… but inside, I began to feel disconnected, lost — and deeply unhappy. Letting go of that life was one of the hardest and most painful decisions I’ve ever made. It felt like losing my identity, like everything I had been was gone. For a while, I didn’t know who I was without dance.
Then, on a trip to India, I discovered yoga. And little by little, through consistent practice, I began to soften. I began to listen. Yoga gave me a space to forgive, to accept, and ultimately, to come home to myself.
That’s why I believe so deeply in the power of these retreats. Sometimes, we need to pause — to look within, ask ourselves what we truly want, and allow ourselves to begin again. Like the phoenix rising from its ashes, we, too, can be reborn.
Yoga has transformed and healed me from the inside out, and it’s an honor to now share this practice with others. Especially in a world that’s increasingly disconnected from nature, from stillness, and from our own truth — I believe yoga is a powerful way back.
If you feel the call to reconnect, to realign, or simply to breathe more deeply… come and join us, we will love to wellcome
Since I was a child, I always found it easier to express myself through movement than through words. I danced, did rhythmic gymnastics, painted, created with my hands — anything that allowed me to feel and connect on a deeper level. Nature, animals, and adventure were my constant companions. But like many, I followed the path that was expected of me — university, work, responsibility — always moving forward, but not always knowing where I was going.
For years, I lived a life that looked “right” on the outside, yet something inside me felt missing. The things that once made me feel alive slowly faded into the background. I lost touch with my passions, my creativity, my inner spark.
It was during one of the hardest periods of my life, after deep personal loss and an identity crisis, that I discovered yoga — thanks to Sabrina, who had just returned from India and began sharing her practice in our hometown. Through yoga, I began to come back to myself — to my body, my breath, my essence. Yoga taught me to pause, to feel, to heal, and to soften into who I truly am.
Then I realized that real change doesn’t happen outside — it begins within.
After years of personal practice and deep transformation, I felt a strong calling to take the next step. I decided to train as a yoga teacher, to support others on their journey — to help them reconnect, rediscover themselves, and transform from the inside out, just as I did. Because I believe that when we feel aligned within, everything around us begins to flow.
If you’re looking for that reconnection, that moment to breathe, to realign and remember who you truly are — We’d love to welcome you.
Peñíscola is our hometown — where we grew up, where we met, and where this dream took root. A magical place where sea, mountains, and history come together with a unique energy we wish to share.
