YOGA BY VICTOR CELDRAN
Get to know me a little better
Hello! My name is Victor Celdran, and if I had to describe myself in a few words, I consider myself an adventurous yogi, always eager to learn and evolve.
With a degree in tourism, since I was young I have lived and worked in different places such as Madrid, Barcelona, Ibiza, London, the island of La Palma, Malaga and even spent a year in several Asian countries.
After more than 15 years working in the tourism sector and later in fashion and advertising, in 2008 in Barcelona, dealing with the daily stress of work and a hectic schedule, I happened upon some vinyasa classes with a very good teacher who introduced me to yoga in an easy, didactic way that also suited me perfectly.
Unlike the gym yoga classes of that time, his conscious, fluid and enjoyable classes made me fall in love with a practice that was initially so foreign to me, but which years later would end up leading me to become certified as a teacher in one of the best schools in Barcelona, as well as in India and Thailand from the hand of renowned traditional teachers, learning different modalities of Yoga and Tai Chi, which since I opened my first yoga studio in the Canary Islands, I practice and teach my students in my face-to-face classes and today mostly ONLINE.
Weekly and regular classes with a variety of schedules, styles and intensities, followed by yogis from both Spain and abroad, meeting every week through ZOOM with the common intention of enjoying taking care of ourselves through the practice of yoga, just as I learned when I started: in an intuitive, fun, close way and each one at the level they need.

WHY YOGA?
Through continued practice we work on our physical and emotional balance
From brain boosting to muscle strengthening, yoga can improve our physical and mental health, while deepening our spirituality.
This dynamic and empowering exercise focuses primarily on deep, conscious breathing and alignment in yoga postures or asanas, which together with concentration and meditation, create balance, harmony and strength in our lives. It teaches us to pay attention and improves memory, encourages self-care, reduces anxiety and stress, increases self-esteem and makes us feel great.
By making the body more flexible, it improves posture, which relieves aches and pains, which in turn helps in sleeping better, thereby also boosting our immune system. The more we practice yoga, the greater the reward.
The benefits of yoga could be described as peeling an onion: Working first on the outer layer (your body), you then discover more and more positive changes moving inward.
Another positive aspect is that it strengthens muscles in a non-violent way, in a calm and peaceful environment. Instead of depleting energy as some exercise methods can do, it helps to accumulate and retain more. This allows us to improve our physical fitness and develop the muscles, both the most visible ones and those that protect the spine and joints. All of this has a very positive effect on our mental health.
ONLINE, OFFLINE, IN-STUDIO OR PERSONALIZED CLASSES?
In ONLINE face-to-face classes, as in a classroom, your classmates will be waiting for you on the other side of the screen.
ONLINE AND OFFLINE CLASSES VIA ZOOM
The best yoga wherever and whenever you want
It always depends on the circumstances and needs of each yogi. There are those who work all day surrounded by children or face to face with the public and what they need when they finish work is to be able to disconnect once they are home. Working mothers with children prefer to practice once they have finished their household chores or even very early in the morning before starting the day and prefer to do their classes OFFLINE which they have previously received on their device.
For these and other needs, through a simple link from your mobile, tablet or computer, and from the comfort of practicing from home or from any other place with internet access, we have supervised ONLINE face-to-face classes with small groups (up to 12 people) so that you can enjoy quality practice from wherever you want, or the option of OFFLINE classes so that you can do them at any other time.
WHICH YOGA IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If we search for “types of yoga” on the internet, we find a lot of information. Yoga here, yoga there... With so many articles and friends telling us that it is wonderful, we cannot stay away from this lifestyle of well-being. Nowadays, there are many varieties and options available to us. But, which one is the best for me?
Based on my own experience and with more than 500 hours of different training courses, both taught by international Western teachers (Vinyasa and Yin Yoga) and those taught by Hindu teachers during a year of studies in India (Hatha, Bhakti, Nidra and Therapeutic Yoga), the combination of all of this is what I have adopted for my own practice and what I have shared with my yogis in my regular classes for more than 6 years now.

IS THIS TRIP FOR ME?
We have lovingly designed this trip especially for you. Yes, yes, for you.
For those who have always wanted to do the Camino but couldn't find the time.
For those who have hesitated to do it because it was too intense.
For those who would like to do this trip as a couple but find it hard to convince them.
For those who want to get started in yoga but do not feel like secluding themselves in a retreat.
Also for those who already practice and also like to enjoy a good glass of wine and an octopus empanada (or ratatouille, there is something for everyone!).
For those who prefer a good hotel instead of hostels, because the road does not have to be at odds with a good rest...
MUCH MORE THAN A "CAMINO"
The vacation you were waiting for
On this different trip we will have time to swim and enjoy the white sandy beaches on the island of Arousa. Swimming in a natural waterfall in Fervenzas do Pereiro. To enjoy afternoons by the pool in our charming hotels in Armenteira or Padrón. To renew ourselves energetically with a relaxing yoga practice in front of the sunset. Of taking a boat ride at sunset along the Pontevedra estuary tasting steamed mussels accompanied by a Ribeiro.
Yes, yes, this Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese CAMINO is for you. Because for us, the important thing is not the destination, but the way.
See you soon, yogi pilgrims. Have a nice walk!
