Almeria Escape 2027- 8th to 15th May
“Thank you so much for what I can only describe as an exceptional yoga retreat. I had a fabulous time and have returned home feeling both relaxed and invigorated, with a new sense of how important yoga is in terms of health, happiness and wellbeing. Being honest, I was a little anxious as to whether I would find the amount of yoga daunting but can honestly say, each session was so absorbing, well structured and supportive that the time passed quickly and I was always looking forward to the next session. I can not thank you enough, Monica, for all your effort in making the Retreat so memorable.” Catherine
Join us for a relaxing and inspirational Iyengar Yoga retreat at an spectacular Finca in Almeria, southern Spain. It sits in 12 acres of semi-desert landscape amid lush gardens. The venue is on the edge of the remote and beautiful natural park, the Cabo de Gata, with a wonderful wild coastline. It’s an amazing landscape of perfect half-moon bays, hidden coves, bizarre volcanic rock formations and spectacular flora and fauna. The charming local village of Nijar is within walking distance and can be seen across the valley at the foot of the spectacular mountain backdrop. Almeria airport is just half an hour away.
Zagyoga escapes are intentionally structured to offer balance between focused study and spacious rest. Beyond the mat, you’ll have ample time to relax by the pool, connect with fellow practitioners, or enjoy solitude in the expansive and lush gardens or take a walk to visit Nijar.
The yoga practice sessions are designed to give time to explore the asanas to deepen the understanding of the different actions. Each day includes four hours of guided learning in a fully equipped yoga studio. Wednesday or Thursday will be a rest day with only two and a half hours of morning class. Ideal for an excursion to the coast.
This immersive week invites you to learn deeply, absorb fully, and return home renewed.
“Monica’s yoga retreat was wonderful in so many ways. Her teaching is the best – inspiring and sensitive to each person’s individual needs. She chooses the most beautiful and tranquil locations, it was so relaxing being there. The food was fabulous and the group was so
friendly and welcoming. The retreat has reset my mind, body and soul, and I can still feel the effects after returning home. Go if you can!” Daksha
