Spain 2025
Tuesday 11 November – Saturday 15 November 2025 Yoga Retreat
The Stillness Within: A Nervous System Reset Retreat
We are heading to a beautiful finca in Almería, home to 30 acres of palms, citrus and olive groves and a short walk from the village of Nijar - known for its crafts - and a 30-minute drive to the sandy beaches and coves of the Cabo de Gata. In between class you can relax beneath the palms on jasmine scented terraces and take a swim in one of the two swimming pools. Expect to hear the crickets hum and the birds sing!
This retreat is designed to support you in unwinding mental, emotional, and physical tension through yoga āsana, breath work, guided meditation and time in stillness and nature. We'll also enjoy a coastal walk in Cabo de Gata Natural Park—with the option for a refreshing dip in the sea
