Team building in Asturias
for teams that don't need another go-karting day
Competitive activities reward whoever already stands out. Facilitated dynamics make people perform, because they know they're being watched. And at the company dinner everyone sits with the same people they talk to every day.
After quite a few of these days, we've seen what actually brings a team together
And it's three fairly unspectacular things:
- Learning something from someone who's been doing it all their life. When a craftswoman teaches you to work clay, or a local guide takes you into a cave they're passionate about, the team discovers something about the place where they live or work, and a shared curiosity and enjoyment appears.
- Eating slowly, real local food, with no assigned seats. The conversation that makes two departments understand each other happens over the second course.
- Starting by moving the body and letting go of tension.People arrive with their heads still in their inbox. You need something that breaks that before you ask them to be present.
Programme
10:30 or 12:00
Movement and breathing session. No experience needed: it adapts to everyone.
12:00 or 14:00
Local brunch or a long lunch with seasonal Asturian produce.
14:00 or 16:00
The workshop or activity. Ceramics, soap making, spa, surf… whichever you've chosen.
17:00 or 19:00
We wrap up. You leave with whatever you've made and with a different kind of memory.
*The venue changes with each group: Villaviciosa, Cabranes, Soto del Barco, Ribadesella, Torazo. We choose based on what you want to do and where you're coming from.
**You'll see two time options because it depends on whether you go for «Yoga + Brunch + Activity» or «Yoga + Menu + Activity».

Frequently Asked Questions about Team Building in Asturias
Does the team need to be fit?
No. The movement session is accessible to everyone and adapts to whoever turns up. It can be done in normal comfortable clothes, and anyone who'd rather take it easy can take it easy. Nobody is going to be shown up in front of their colleagues.
How far in advance do I need to book?
As early as you can. Two or three months are the best. It can be done with less notice, but there are fewer venues available. We'll always do our best.
Do you issue an invoice?
Yes. An invoice with VAT itemised, made out to the company and with its tax number. We work by bank transfer and payment terms are agreed beforehand.
How big does the group need to be?
Min 8 people and max 25 people
Do the meals have vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options?
Yes. Always. Let me know when you book and we'll arrange it.
In which area of Asturias are the events held?
In various councils across Asturias: coast, interior, mining basins... The location changes with each event, season and period and is part of the experience. It is precisely this that differentiates Karuna Yoga Events. The exact location is always shared upon confirmation of the booking.
What if it rains or something changes?
Our days are designed to adapt. If it rains, there's always an indoor plan B — this is Asturias and we've thought about it. And if an activity can't go ahead, we swap it for an equivalent one and let you know beforehand. We've never cancelled a day because of the weather.
Can you adapt it if someone on the team has an injury or reduced mobility?
Yes, and it's important you tell us when you book. We adapt the session and, if necessary, choose an activity everyone can take part in.
Shall we talk about your team?
Tell us how many of you there are, which month you have in mind and what budget you're working with per person. We'll send you a fixed proposal with the programme, the venue and the price.
