Inner Dimension TV
San Sebastian Yoga Retreat

We will meet at Arima Hotel & Spa in San Sebastian, Spain. Click here for more detailed info on how to get there.

We’ve structured the retreat to be suitable for both newer and experienced yogis. Adjustments will be suggested for all levels, in particular during our more vigorous power yoga practices so everyone is welcome!

Weather is unpredictable and we make no guarantees, but the average high/low temperatures in San Sebastian in May are 65/53°F and 70/59°F in June. San Sebastian is a coastal town with frequent rain but most precipitation during the months of May/June will likely be light showers or drizzle rather than heavy downpours. So best to plan for both sun and rain and bring your shorts/sunnies but also a raincoat/umbrella and light jacket too! Please also note that the retreat schedule will be subject to change based on these weather conditions.

We’ve reserved both options and hope to have a mix of both, but it will all depend on weather conditions. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding here.

We currently expect around 40 participants.

In addition to clothes, toiletries, and other things you would normally pack for a trip like this, we recommend you bring the following: yoga mat/meditation cushion or any other props you need for class (due to COVID-19 safety concerns, we will not be providing props or equipment), yoga/hiking clothes, walking/hiking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, light jacket (please check the weather report and plan accordingly!), bathing suit/flip flops (if you intend to use the indoor pool or spa facilities), raincoat/umbrella (there will likely be light rain!), etc.

Rooms will generally be available for check in at 3:00PM. Check out is at noon. You should feel free to contact Arima Hotel & Spa directly for any special requests.

Tax and tip for all group meals, classes and activities are included in your ticket price so no need to tip separately after group meals, classes or activities. Feel free to tip support staff (for room cleaning, help with parking, etc.) at your discretion per the usual.

Lauren and Travis are hoping that the retreat can be an immersive experience for you to reconnect to your practice and reflect inwards. So we recommend things like nature hikes (Arima Hotel & Spa is surrounded by the Miramon Forest and it is the starting point of one of the Nordic Walk trails!), journaling, walking/sitting meditation or just even rest during break times. If you’re the adventurous type and are looking for more action, check out all that San Sebastian has to offer here.

This retreat is about taking care of yourself so please feel free to do what feels appropriate and best for your body, mind and spirit.

The food will consist of plenty of fresh and local plant-based cuisine with an occasional meat or fish dish. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available as well.  Please make sure to note any dietary restrictions during check out! San Sebastian is known for its amazing cuisine, so we’ve also made sure to leave ample free time for you to explore and experience meals on your own – to the extent you don’t see a meal listed in the schedule, those meals are not included as part of the retreat or ticket price. Alcohol is not included with your ticket price but will be available onsite for separate purchase.

As far as we’re concerned, this retreat is ON! Please note, we are only human and there are always things outside of our reasonable control (such as borders closing, acts of war & terrorism, natural disasters, etc.) that might require us to change plans, but that’s what travel insurance is for and this is a risk that you would have with any travel. So the answer is, whenever you feel comfortable but please note our strict cancellation policy. 

Please note that transportation to Arima Hotel & Spa is not included in your ticket price. Please reach out to Arima Hotel & Spa directly at [email protected] for any specific requests and they will be happy to assist you.

All participants must either (i) be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (including any boosters) no less than two (2) weeks prior to arrival or (ii) submit a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival. Due to the ever-changing nature of COVID-19, we reserve the right to update our policies as necessary for the well-being of our community.

If you test positive before or during the retreat, you will not be allowed to attend and for the reasons stated above, there are no refunds. We encourage you to purchase a comprehensive “cancel for any reason” trip insurance policy to protect yourself if this is a concern. Social distancing and mask wearing may be implemented (although currently, assuming rules & regulations stay the same, we intend to make mask wearing during classes optional). Cleaning protocols and meal protocols will be implemented by Arima Hotel & Spa. In addition, you must bring your own yoga mats, meditation cushions or any props that you want to practice with and we will not be performing hands on adjustments.

Lastly, please note any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19 and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed while in attendance at the event.

Even in the rare instance that Inner Dimension TV needs to cancel or reschedule the retreat due to “acts of god” including Covid-19 related shut downs, we will only be able to refund ticket costs at most, and would not in any instance be able to compensate you for other costs, such as flights booked, etc. Due to this concern, we highly recommend that you purchase personal travel insurance.

We suggest that you include “cancel for any reason” with your policy and include medical coverage. Many insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation so please prioritize accordingly. Some credit cards also come with travel insurance benefits which you might want to consider. Here is a helpful site to compare different policies based on your specific needs.

We don’t have a separate block for this but Arima has informed us that they will try to accommodate guest requests as much as they can. Please email us at [email protected] if you need extra nights. The sooner the better for better rates and availability!

In order to secure the venue and programming, Inner Dimension TV is required to enter into binding contracts with 3rd parties that do not allow for refund or cancellation in any instance except for limited instances where “acts of god” render the entire event impossible. For example, if due to the COVID-19 pandemic worsening, Arima Hotel & Spa must close down, then we would be able to get a refund and refund all ticket holders. Otherwise, unfortunately, we must enforce a strict cancellation policy and there will be no refunds in any instance. You may transfer your ticket under certain conditions. Also, purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself is always a good idea.

You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 3-days before the retreat start date without penalty by emailing us at [email protected]. After that time, our strict cancellation policy applies.

Any balance remaining after payment of the initial deposit will be invoiced to you and due immediately three months prior to start of retreat, so expect an email from us with this bill some time in February 2023. As noted above, we have a strict cancellation policy with no refunds (including for any deposits) so please make sure you have sufficient funds ready to pay any remaining balance at this time.

Yes! Just email us at [email protected] with a description of your partner’s needs (for example, partner would like to participate in meals and excursions but skip the yoga classes, etc.) and we can give you options that work for you.

This is possible! Each of you should still purchase the double ticket if you intend to both participate in all aspects of the Retreat and send a note to [email protected] just noting that you would prefer one bed in the room.

One of our goals at Inner Dimension TV is to expand the scope of offerings to better serve our community online and increasingly in-person as well. So look forward to some exciting announcements to come on future in-person retreats! And of course, we recommend that you also practice with us online through your Inner Dimension TV subscription and Academy course registrations as well.
