Yoga holidays in Spain

Our yoga holidays combine twice daily yoga with a range of energising & relaxing activities, therapies and delicious, healthy cuisine at stunning locations. Now in our 6th year, our breaks are limited to 12 guests to enable us to give personal attention and care at all times. And, as most people come on their own, you'll always find someone to have a chat with.

Holidays take place at two small hotels in the green zone of Alicante, Spain. Spring & Autumn holidays take place at a rural mountain hotel set in a protected National Park. Here you'll find stunning views, amazing scenery and incredible Peace - ideal to unwind & de-stress. Yoga is practiced in a studio with huge glass doors that we open wide to draw the sun, bird song & breeze into our practice – its so uplifting.

In the warmer Summer months, holidays take place at a gorgeous boutique hotel by the sea in a Spanish town. Here we practice yoga in the hotel’s private courtyard under the blue sky. Sun Salutations under the sun – you can’t beat it!

The holiday’s include two yoga classes a day, hearty buffet breakfasts, 3-course dinners with refreshments, twice daily yoga, guided hikes, pranayama & meditation workshops, welcome room gift, tour manager and a good selection of other energizing & relaxing activities. The Yoga: Twice daily yoga classes are a fusion of Hatha, Yin & Vinyasa Flow taught by two passionate, fully trained & certified teachers. Each day you’ll be practicing asanas, pranayama, relaxation, visualizations or meditation. Classes are ideal for keen beginners, those with a rusty practice and intermediate yogi’s. We aim to share our many ideas & tools to help you improve your practice back home.

Energizing & Relaxing Activities: In addition to yoga, you can choose to take part in a number of other activities that complement your yoga practice:

Guided Hikes: Led by a local experienced guide, our walks take you on the best routes to explore the area. A great way to stretch your legs & clear out the lungs.

Mountain biking:Our bike guide – Gary – knows the area like the back of his hand & is great at adjusting the route to suit the fitness level of the group. People are beaming when they return!

Meditation & Pranayama Workshops: In the meditation workshop you’ll try different meditation styles with plenty of explanation & answers from our Meditation Guru. The pranayama session retrains poor breathing habits so that your breath has a positive impact on your overall health & wellbeing going forward.

Art Class: With the lovely Bronwyn, a Fine Arts Honors Degree teacher who’s gentle personality has the most nervous of people picking up a paintbrush and creating some amazing paintings.

Personal Training: if you want a kick start to a healthier lifestyle or revise your current programme, our fitness trainers will give you a personal session to help you make the most of your workout time & target the areas you need to strengthen.

Aromatheraphy Workshop: Great fun! Following theory & demonstration from the aromatherapist, you’ll be mixing your own prescriptive aromatheraphy face cream, body oil, scrub or masque.

Colour Analysis: We all know that first impressions count but if you’re in a style dilemma, our image consultant will help you feel more confident when choosing and wearing clothes and make up.

Pottery Workshop: Seen the film Ghost?! Everyone loves working with a ball of clay & you’ll find this ever so relaxing.

Swimming: If you choose to holiday with us in the Summer, you’ll be a 5 min walk to the sea & a glorious safe, sandy beach. Spring & Autumn holidays are at a rural mountain hotel with its own outdoor pool.

Therapies: Everything from Luxurious Hydration Facials to Thai Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Body Polishing Scrubs & Pedicures.

Horse riding: Is available locally for beginners & advanced.
