About us
We are Helena Chacón and Javier Muriel, directors and members of the teaching team at Holística Formación. We have been working professionally in the field of yoga and natural therapies since 2006. For 10 years, we ran a centre for yoga, therapies and massage in Huelva city.
Aspiring to a life more in tune with nature, we decided to move to the Sierra de Huelva, specifically to Jabuguillo, a hamlet of Aracena, at a time when our yoga centre was at its peak. At that stage, we focused our professional efforts on delivering in-person yoga training courses both nationally and internationally, as well as online.
After four years in the Sierra de Huelva, we embarked on an ecotourism project that enabled us to offer in-person and residential activities. We moved to San Vicente de Alcántara (Badajoz), to a farmstead we named Kalki. There, we built a 50 m² yurt, which for three years served as a venue for classes, workshops, therapies and training courses. In this setting, we deepened our understanding of nature, permaculture, rural life and sustainability. We also shared experiences such as seasonal celebrations, forest bathing, nature walks, active meditation and social gatherings, strengthening our connection with the community and the environment.
In 2024, we felt the need for a fresh change in our lives. After much thought, we decided to return to the Sierra de Huelva. In July 2025, we moved to Navahermosa (Galaroza), where we will refurbish a space to serve as an activity room for our indoor sessions, which will complement outdoor activities in this beautiful natural setting.
We are currently focusing on projects that combine personal development with an appreciation of the biological and geological diversity that this region has to offer.
