Mer information om Ulrica

Ulrica har levt och utövat yoga dagligen i över 25 år och är en passionerad yogi som brinner för att dela med sig av sina kunskaper och sin kärlek till yoga till andra. 

Med en djup förståelse för både kropp och sinne erbjuder hon inspirerande yogapass för alla – från nybörjare till mer erfarna utövare. Hon lägger stor vikt vid att skapa en trygg och inkluderande miljö, och hennes metod fokuserar på att odla medvetenhet, balans och återhämtning genom rörelse och andning.

I över 18 år har Ulrica undervisat i sin egen shala i Borås – en plats genomsyrad av hennes värme och entusiasm, tillägnad yoga och personlig utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i sina egna erfarenheter, sin uppmärksamhet och omtanke leder hon sina elever mot en djupare förståelse för hur yoga kan integreras i vardagen.

Hon värnar djupt om den traditionella visdomen inom Ashtanga, samtidigt som hon genomtänkt anpassar sig när alternativa tillvägagångssätt är till nytta. Genom sin praktik och undervisning bär hon en oerhörd tacksamhet till detta fantastiska system.

Och för de lärare som har inspirerat henne längs vägen: Olle, Petri Räisänen, Maria Boox, Dylan Bernstein, Damien de Bastier och många fler…

Välkommen att träffa Ulrica pa Purple Valley och låta henne guida dig på din yogaresa.

Practical Information About The Retreat Centre

Our retreat centre, Finca Naranjas (previously known as Cristoforo), is a simple yet deeply beautiful sanctuary nestled in the heart of South Tenerife. It was lovingly designed by architect Denis Devaris, who envisioned it as a meeting place for spiritual seekers. Built slowly over the course of 30 years using volcanic rock from the island, each room carries its own unique charm, full of character, thoughtful details, and personal touches.

As with many soulful spaces, a little imperfection is part of the experience. The plumbing system may not be up to modern standards, but the buildings are deeply rooted in the land and surrounded by a lush, thriving garden. Finca Naranjas truly feels like a hidden oasis.

If you're joining us during the cooler months (December - March), please be sure to pack some warmer layers. Mornings and evenings can be quite chilly, and while the rooms aren’t heated, they are equipped with cozy duvets and plenty of blankets to keep you comfortable.

Please note that the internet connection at the retreat center is currently not reliable. If you depend on internet access for work, we recommend bringing mobile data on your phone, which you can use to create a hotspot for your laptop if necessary. Mobile phone reception in the area is strong and consistent.

There is also a café about 10 minutes from the retreat with a reliable internet connection. However, it tends to be busy and may not be the most suitable environment for focused work.

The Meals

Our meals are prepared with love by our wonderful retreat chefs, offering fresh, wholesome dishes that are entirely vegetarian and mostly vegan. Wherever possible, we use local and organic ingredients to support both your wellbeing and the surrounding environment. Occasionally, eggs or dairy may be included in some meals.

If you have any food allergies or sensitivities, please let us know in advance.  Gluten-free options are available.

We also have a self-service tea and coffee station available throughout the day, and we do our best to provide fresh fruit for light snacking between meals.  You’re welcome to enjoy your meals either indoors or outside in the peaceful beauty of our garden.

The Practice

Our retreat offers an intimate practice setting, with a maximum of 25 students and morning classes limited to 16 participants for a more personal experience.

Sessions are held in our beautiful wooden garden Shala. During full retreats, Savasana is often enjoyed outdoors to create space in the Shala, and some afternoon workshops may also take place outside.

Please pack warm layers for practice, especially for Savasana, as mornings and evenings can be chilly.

Arrival & Departure

Rooms will be ready from 3:00 PM on arrival day. The retreat begins with a welcome meeting at 6:00 PM, followed by dinner at 6:30 PM. We kindly ask all students to arrive in time for the introduction.

Our first practice session takes place on Sunday morning, and the final practice is on Friday morning. Check-out is on Saturday at 9:00 AM.
