A YOGA and coaching retreat is taking place at Finca Emunah in Son Español on Sunday May 28.

“They who master their mind master their life and can achieve anything they set their minds to,” said organiser Gloria Pons.

“In this retreat you will learn to connect with your body and your intuition, recognise your resistances and reprogramme your subconscious mind, transforming your energy. You will create a clear vision of your future along with a specific plan to achieve what you desire. It’s not your circumstances, it’s your inner self. Don’t wait for things to change or for someone to come along and give you a chance and give it to yourself.”

The retreat will start at 10.30am and ends at 5.30pm, and will include a workbook, talks, practical exercises, group dynamics, yoga sessions, meditation, a midday brunch, a nature walk and some surprises. For further information contact Gloria Pons through Facebook.

Volga Mediterrani

THE Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra will be performing tonight Thursday May 11 at 8pm, at Trui Teatre as part of a series of eight concerts under the name Volga Mediterrani.

The programme focuses on two of the most influential Russian composers of the 20th century, conducted by Gianna Fratta.

Sergei Prokofiev’s Concert for Piano No. 3, which will feature solo pianist Alba Ventura, will be the first of the works to be performed by the Orchestra.

The concert will end with Igor Stravinsky’s Petruixka.

The Russian composer conceived this work for piano and it was the founder of Russian ballet, Sergey Diaghilev, who persuaded him to turn it into a ballet.

Tickets cost €30 from www.truiteatre.es and from www.simfonicade balears.com
