Yoga Retreat in Spain

Yoga Retreat in Andalucía, Spain
29th May – 5th June 2027 | 7 nights

Join me for a week of gentle yoga, rest and reflection in the foothills of the Alpujarras, part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Southern Spain. The yoga follows a journey through the week, with a thread of self-inquiry in each session and time for journal reflections each day (a journal is provided). Morning sessions are gentle Hatha Yoga with a mindful, somatic flavour, and afternoon sessions are slower and more restorative, such as Yin, Restorative or Yoga Nidra. Everything is adaptable, so the retreat suits beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Numbers are very limited.

We stay at La Catitera in Almegíjar, a 500-year-old farmhouse that was once an inn and a working farm, set in a remote and beautiful location with a pool on the terrace. It’s simple and down-to-earth rather than hotel-style: there are compost toilets, no daily housekeeping, and the path up to the yoga shala includes steps, so a reasonable level of mobility is important. Meals are made by a local cook and are mostly vegan, with some cheese and eggs, and gluten-free and dairy-free options.

The days are spacious. Yoga is from 8:00 to 10:00am and 5:00 to 6:30pm, with brunch at 10:30am and dinner at 7:00pm, leaving free time in between to rest, swim, walk or join optional days out, such as Órgiva market or a trip to the beach. On the two longer excursion days there is likely to be no afternoon yoga, with Yoga Nidra or another gentle activity in the evening instead.

Arrival: Saturday 29th May 2027 | [time], dinner at 7:00pm
Departure: Saturday 5th June 2027 | [time/after breakfast]

Included: 7 nights’ accommodation, all food, tea and coffee, 2 yoga sessions each day, a retreat journal, and a £25 donation to Navdanya.

Not included: flights, transfers, excursions, massage and other treatments, drinks and food during free time, and travel insurance (required).

Getting there: Fly to Málaga (about 1hr 45min away) or Granada (about 1hr 15min away). I’ll organise shared airport transfers from Málaga for around €45 each way, which is more if you’re travelling alone or with fewer people. Please get in touch before booking flights so we can match arrival times. From Granada, there’s a very good, inexpensive coach to Órgiva or Torviscón, and a lift can be arranged if you prefer.

You can pay in full or with a payment plan. For more information, including the terms & conditions, follow this link: yogawithjoy.co.uk/_files/ugd/429445_2d9bf0575e7e44a3903778d4217b384d.pdf

I look foward to spending a week in Southern Spain with you!
