Choose your location
The daily rhythm, teaching and inclusions are the same at both retreats. What changes is the landscape, the house and the journey there.
Spain · open all yearA mountain finca in the Sierra de las Nieves foothills, with an open-air wooden yoga pavilion and Mediterranean views.
Portugal · opening February 2027 · now taking bookingsA restored 19th-century farmhouse on four hectares near Moncarapacho, in the quiet eastern Algarve.
The programme
Everything below is part of the nightly price at both retreats, so your stay is all-inclusive except for drinks. Nothing on the timetable is compulsory: join what serves you and rest when you need to. Airport transfers and extra treatments can be added.
How we teach
Each yoga class lasts 60 minutes, with a separate 30-minute meditation: before the morning class and after the afternoon class. Mornings flow to wake the body. Afternoons slow down. Every pose comes with an easier and a harder option.
Each movement flows naturally into the next, guided by the breath. The sequence repeats, so once you have learnt it you can move at your own pace. Calm, accessible and purposeful.
Slow, grounding poses held for two to five minutes, with calming breath. The body is warm by now, so the stretches go deeper. A separate 30-minute guided meditation follows.

A typical day
A sample day. Each retreat shares its exact timetable, and you receive your own personal schedule at check-in.
Is it right for me?
Yes. Teachers show an easier option for every pose, and the morning flow repeats, so once you know it you can move at your own pace. Tell us you are new when you book.
No. Every pose has a harder option, and two classes a day give you time to refine your practice.
Yes, and most guests do: more than 70% of our guests travel alone. Small groups mean you get to know people quickly, and your time is always your own.
No. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a requirement. Props and alternatives are always available.
Our guests range from their twenties to their seventies. Teachers adapt every class to the people in the room.
From the second trimester, yes, with adapted poses. In the first trimester we ask you to join the meditation only. Please check with your doctor or midwife first.

Your practice deepens and new habits start to stick. Includes one or two spa treatments.
For a full recovery from burnout, or a real step forward in your practice. Includes two or more spa treatments.
