Activities
This residential retreat provides a rare opportunity to escape the busy-ness of the everyday and dedicate time and space to your inner wellbeing and wellness.
There is a daily program of Pilates,Yoga, Face Yoga, special workshops and wellbeing activities (which are completely optional to join in should you wish to,) plus plenty of opportunities for relaxation by the pool or in calm stillness of nature, walking beautiful nearby hiking trails and sightseeing the pretty villages (plus a trip to visit stunning town of Ronda). You can do as little or as much as you like !
The classes and activities will be taught by me and 3 other highly skilled professional teachers who are also bringing their guests.
​
The combination of these activities are unique to this retreat, and please don't worry if you've never tried any of these practices before. Proper guidance and a safe space for you to explore each of these sessions will be given, and I hope to be able to offer a truly special experience and guide you to the inner space of harmony and balance.
Nourishment
The food is delicious and plenty (all veggie and plant-based), with morning and evening meals, plus a 24hrs snack and tea/coffee station (and an opportunity to have a cocktail/ glass of wine in the evening which may be a lovely addition for a retreat holiday for some!). Food is the foundation of our health, so in choosing plant-based dishes we can directly influence our mood, hormones, energy and emotions and bring more joy to our hearts (and our taste buds!).
And the best bit? There's a wonderful chef cooking for you all week so no cooking/washing up or food shopping required!
Who is the Retreat for?
Modern living can take its toll on our bodies and spirit and the pace of life can feel relentless, which can makes us feel as if we are "on the go" all the time, with no real space for just being. Taking time out of your weekly grind and focusing on your inner landscape with meaning and attention, has a magic ability to rebalance your energy and recharge your batteries.
​
The Retreat is suitable for all ages and abilities, and especially beneficial if you have one or more of the symptoms below:
- tiredness and exhaustion
- lack of energy
- mood swings
- poor digestion
- lack of sleep
- feeling of anxiety, feelings of not being enough
- body aches and pains, muscle stiffness
