Sunday Sept 17th - Saturday Sept 23rd 2023
After a 3-year hiatus it’s time to return back to where it all began at Valle De Vida near Malaga, Spain.
Our retreat will run for 6 nights and is set in 18 acres of secluded, unspoilt land. Hidden away in a valley beneath the Andalusian mountains, reachable only by a winding 4km track that passes through the orange and lemon groves, you will be surrounded by breath-taking views, vibrant flora and fauna, caves, mountain streams, springs and even a waterfall.
Practise Yoga & meditate daily in the fresh air and sunshine! Enjoy 26/2 hot yoga personal corrections with Naomi, soak up her alignment wisdom and tips, as well as posture clinic that will fuel your practice for the coming year.
Bathe in the salt-water pool and soak up some poolside rays as you relax with a good book. Indulge your body and soul with on-site massage treatments, a steam room, and sauna. Tickle your taste buds with 3 freshly cooked, mouth-watering daily meals using the freshest, locally sourced produce.
Stay in a beautiful traditional Spanish finca or get closer to nature and sleep under the glittering stars in your very own fully furnished Tepee or Geodome where you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of cicadas!
Enjoy daily enjoy outdoor Yoga & Meditation sessions on the outdoor wooden deck, gazing at the view and watching the sun set in Savasana. Spend evenings chatting, reading, watching a movie in the pool cinema, comfy chill areas, gazing at the stars.
