LOCATION
Our Home for the week in Mallorca is just perfect. Authentic, warm, elegant, and at the same time rural chic.
Cal Reiet is a unique country hideaway with the authenticity of a home away from home atmosphere. Set in beautifully lush Mediterranean gardens, an oasis ripe with scents of the earth. Sea and sun and an ideal setting for the union of body, mind and spirit.
The estate is divided into the main house and two guest houses, with a total of 13 beautifully designed rooms and suites. All rooms are spacious, airy, luxurious and ensuite, and all with delightful views.
We will be in the rural heart of Mallorca, walking distance from the very picturesque village of Santanyi. Grab a bike and visit a variety of beaches in the area.
FLIGHTS & TRANSFERS
Flying into Palma de Mallorca International Airport. Transfers are not included in your retreat price.
Cal Reiet is an easy, less than 40 minute taxi drive away from the airport. Taxis all work with a meter and you can find them right outside of the airport.
You can book any flight that is convenient for you and you can check in as off 15:00. Ideally, you arrive before dinner, so before 7PM to enjoy your first day and have time to settle in. We start our lessons on the 29th of October.
On the 3rd of November, we’ll have to leave our rooms at 11AM but you are welcome to stay and enjoy Cal Reiet till it’s time to go to the airport.
Visit Palma de Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca is definitely worth while and we would not do it justice by a quick visit during the week.
And, why not fly a day or two earlier and take the time to visit this really nice city?!
Lovely little streets, the cathedral, a boulevard to stroll on, plenty of restaurants and many things to see and visit.
We are happy to assist you in sharing nice tips for hotels.

Your Host and Yoga Teacher, Rachel Bonkink
You will go home after this week, with a mental back pack. Filled with practical tools to help you maintain and cultivate Balance in your daily life.
I have been teaching for many years now and I do what I do because it is who I am. It is what I love to do. Inspiring people in anyway I can.
THESE YOGA HOLIDAYS ARE DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER HOLIDAY OUT THERE!
What I bring across is so much more than bending forwards and backwards. As I have a worked both as a COO and consultant before founding Revealing Vajra, I know what stress is. I know what deadlines are, real deadlines, handling huge budgets-with a lot of zeros. Pleasing your C-level customers, keeping your corporate tribe happy- our tribe had 100+ people on the payroll.
Combine this with many years as a personal life coach, my shiatsu practises and ongoing yoga teacher trainings and personal retreats.
And, you get someone in front of you who is able to organise retreats that are very different.
It is this unique combination – a deep understanding of corporate life and the corporate ladder, alongside a vast experience of mind-body trainings and many personal retreats. Plus the expertise of organising over 70 of my own yoga retreats – that gives my yoga holidays and retreats a very POWERFUL edge.
I will help you to focus on enjoying your practice and gaining new insights into your body, mind and the yoga philosophy.
In conclusion, these holidays are so much more than just a getaway. These retreats can be truly life changing and empower you to become a more healthy and happy person.
DIFFERENT YOGA STYLES
I will teach different styles of yoga, and offer several guidelines/techniques for meditation during this week.
Starting slowly with Hatha, Yin, and Yin/Yang. Building it up towards a more Vinyasa inspired class. At least one class will focus on alignment and one class is Kundalini yoga.
All levels are welcome, I know how to adjust all poses.
I don’t take life all too seriously, nor do I see yoga as the most serious thing in the world.
Pranayama (breathing), meditation and yoga philosophy are part of all my lessons.
Asana wise, I started my own journey about 10 years ago with Ashtanga. Later on, I got very inspired by Iyengar trained teachers like Gustavo Ponce and John Stirk. Over the years, I’ve taken many 100 and 200 hour teacher trainings in India, the Netherlands, the USA and Thailand. Currently, I enjoy receiving teachings by Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and Alan Wallace. Every year, I go on at least two (silent) retreats myself to recharge, rejuvenate and broaden my knowledge on yoga and meditation.
I am happy to discuss your expectations and see if this holiday is right for you. I welcome any and all questions or concerns you may have and invite you to email me at: rb@revealingvajra.com or just give me a call on +32 476 204 121.

If you are looking for the perfect retreat with the perfect teacher, stop looking, this is the real deal. I have been on quite a few retreats, had a lot of different yoga teachers and I even teach yoga myself but trust me, Rachel is different from any other teacher. She is passionate, generous, unpretentious, super knowledgeable about yoga and a joy to have around. This retreat was incredibly balanced with great yoga classes, meditations. It has hikes, ancient yoga philosophy and incredible good food. And, Cal Reiet is simply wonderful.

Wow, Cal Reiet is pure luxury, such a beautiful place. Santanyi is a quiet little town and can visit the national park as well, which is nearby. And, once again, Rachel brought together a wonderful group of people from all around the world and gave inspiring lessons. This was my 6th Revealing Vajra Retreat and my second retreat with Rachel here at Cal Reiet in Mallorca.

A thoroughly rewarding experience. Rachel is a rare and wonderful teacher, intuitive, imaginative and caring. With skill she creates a relaxed and secure environment that inspires growth and experimentation.

Matthew Allan, USA
If you consider a retreat, then I just have to recommend Rachel. Whatever your level of experience. We had yoga teachers in the group, people with injuries and people who had never done yoga before and it all worked beautifully.

SHARON ACKROYD, UK
I came to the Revealing Vajra Yoga retreat with an overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety. As the days unfolded and Rachel guided us through the yoga and meditations, it all shifted. This retreat gave me such inspiration to make some changes in my life. It was also really fun and completely relaxed. I can't recommend Rachel's retreats enough. Thank you for an incredible journey, I will be back!

Rachel H., Canada
This was my first yoga retreat, but definitely not my last! Such a varied program! What a joy to discover different yoga styles, the philosophy behind it and the peacefulness of silence. All this in a friendly environment, and with the gentle guidance from Rachel. Furthermore, I really appreciated Rachel's approach to yoga and the idea that nothing is 'set in stone'. For her, everything is ok as long as it feels good. Also, to move and to stretch my body in the sun was so great.
Carina Bjurklint, Sweden
This retreat was the perfect way to unwind and destress from the busy-ness of life. I was a little nervous as I hadn't done yoga for a long time. But, the yoga sessions really are suitable for all. Rachel is a great teacher. She is completely in tune with the needs of the group, and has a gentle and relaxed approach. She makes everyone feel at ease. I really felt I was able to develop my skills and will be going home with much more confidence to continue my yoga practise. I could not recommend the retreat more!!!!
Lisa Forbes, UK
