Yoga

You’ll practise yoga throughout the week with our team of highly experienced teachers on our special yoga platform nestled into the side of a beautiful mountain.

There, overlooking the stunning nearby valley, you can practise, contemplate and grow in the peace of the Spanish countryside. As you inhale the sweet aroma orange and lemon trees, you can practise and enjoy workshops in lovely, clear air, in a truly peaceful environment that is ideal for yoga and meditation.

The retreats accommodate all levels, and beginners are very welcome. Lessons will be delivered by experienced teachers who will guide you through a challenging and Restorative yoga practice, where the focus is on the spiritual, healing, and meditative qualities of yoga.
