The Location

Join this intimate 4-day retreat in a beautifully peaceful location in southern Spain. Archidona is a gorgeous town brimming with history, part of the delightful Andalucia. The beautiful Plaza Ochavada is a short walk away from the hotel, with plenty of local restaurants and bars. The hotel is perfectly located within easy reach of Antequera, Iznajar, Osuna and Comares; some spectacular and ancient towns waiting to be explored. Larger cities such as Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla and Ronda are all 1-2 hours away.

The Food

Breakfast and evening meals are served on the patio, or in cooler months, around the communal dining table. The emphasis is on good quality locally sourced ingredients and deliciously healthy homemade meals. The menu is created to work around our yoga schedule and includes Spanish and continental cuisine.

The Activities

In the day there will be options to be taken out to explore nearby ancient towns and villages before coming back to relax by the pool. Whether that’s exploring the roman ruins and historic castle in Antequera, visiting Iznajar lake or El Palo beach, there will be plenty of opportunity to discover and explore. Behind the hotel there is a stunning walk up through the pine forest to the Sanctuary at the top, a peaceful place for a quiet moment. There are plenty of routes for walking or running, with an endless vista of green rolling hills studded with perfect chequered lines of olive groves. After yoga, spend your evening relaxing and chatting, watching the sunset, swallows and bats.

The Yoga

Grace is a 200 hour Awakening Yoga teacher who likes to bring elements from lots of different practises into her classes. Practising amongst breathtaking views of the mountains, expect fluid and dynamic vinyasa flows, finding your inner rhythm and power. There will always be opportunities to do more or to do less in classes, depending on how you are feeling. Often there will be a sprinkle of mobility and functional movement to help build a foundation for your practise. In the evenings we will slow right down and find a restorative journey. Longer held deep stretches, opportunity for rest and dropping inwards, delivering you into the night feeling grounded, calm and connected. Breathwork and meditation will always be an offer to begin your day.
