Dhamma Neru Vipassana Meditation Centre

On the afternoon of June 22, 1999, the Spanish Vipassana Association purchased a building near Palautordera, about 35 miles Northwest of Barcelona, to serve as the first Dhamma centre in Spain. 

Goenkaji has named it "Dhamma Neru", Dhamma Neru means "Heavenly Mountain of Dhamma". 

The main building of Dhamma Neru is built on 4 sides of an open courtyard and sits in the middle of a flat 3,6 acres site surrounded by a high hedge and an abundance of fruit and ornamental trees. 

The nearest village is Santa Maria de Palautordera about 1 km away. To the north there is the imposing 5700 feet high mountain of Montseny.

The site is approximately 1300 feet above sea level, only 30 minutes from the Mediterranean and enjoys a mild, sometimes rainy climate. 

The Centre can currently accommodate 62 students, though the Dhamma Hall can hold 80.

The collateral benefits of yoga are relaxation, concentration, full breathing, flexibility and strength, but the goal is not physical perfection, but the inner peace. When there is unity there is also a connection with the environment. Yoga helps us to understand our mind and our inner selves and thus to better understand the people and situations around us.

Breathing connects us directly to our essence.

Yoga Weeks Barcelona Retreat

The Barcelona Yoga Weeks retreat centre was built in a big and beautiful modernistic house in the heart of Barcelona. The centre is located in a nice and quiet street, yet minutes’ walk away from the central gothic neighbourhood and a 10 minute walk away to the beach of Barcelona. The building is one of the catalogued examples of the modernistic movement (Gaudi’s movement) and was built in the year 1890. The building and the house has been conserved with all its magic features such as: Nolla colourful flooring, high and decorated ceilings, long and airy corridors, the iron works of the back facade and a smart distribution of the rooms allowing all of them to have access to outdoor spaces, such as internal patios or balconies. The building has the 1st elevator installed in the city, also dated 1890, a magnificent example of woodwork and engineering for old high class housing. All rooms are spacious and carefully designed by one of the most creative and young design studios in Barcelona: PPT Interiors, with whom we carefully studied and designed the centre to maintain the flow and give guests the maximum comfort. We restored this space to bring a modernistic and relaxing vibe to this beautiful space. The result is a welcoming, highly beautiful and comfortable centre to stay, relax, socialise and practise yoga.

The 5 Pillars of Absolute Yoga Academy Training

#1 Professionalism

AYA began as a way to train our own staff. We needed more teachers in our studios, but the skills set of most applicants was so low, we decided to create our own courses. Since day one, our sole purpose has been to turn passionate students into highly-qualified teaching professionals. From our manuals and curriculum planning to our teaching teams and facilities, everything is in service of professional-oriented training.

#2 Low Student-to-Teacher Ratios

While the industry standard is to have 20, 30 or even 40+ students for every teacher, we typically have just 8-12 students per teacher to provided more personalized attention, faster learning, and a deeper immersion experience. Studies show that smaller class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratio always provides for a better learning environment, so we make it a priority in all courses.

#3 Empowered Graduates

We love our graduates and encourage them to use their teaching credential to its fullest. Our graduates own studios, retreat and training businesses, and are leaders in their local communities. Absolute Yoga Academy has done away with mandatory re-certification requirements and we don’t impose any restrictions on our graduates teaching styles or locations. Your choice, your career, your yoga.

#4 Ethical Teaching Standards

As the yoga community matures, it’s crucial that the industry self-governs and self-regulates to ensure that yoga studios are ethical and safe throughout the world. For this reason, Absolute Yoga Academy is a non-dogmatic, guru-free zone and the ethics of leadership are taught in every course. All trainers are contractually-bound by the same ethical guidelines the school teaches—we walk our talk.

#5 To Teach is to Serve

While the media can sometimes portray yoga as a hobby of the super fit, super model types, at Absolute Yoga Academy, we take an old school approach and focus on the yoga of service. Quite simply, we use classic hatha yoga practices to help people achieve optimal mind-body health. Down-to-earth, toes-on-the-mat, change your life kind of yoga is what we’re all about.
