The house offered has three fully equipped bedrooms; you can choose different types of accommodation to fit your budget and your personal choice (a spacious private room for a single person or a couple or a double room to share with a friend or another person).
The rooms have shared bathrooms and shared dining and living areas. There is one balcony where you can read, relax, or just enjoy an outdoor breakfast. The philosophy is to welcome you into their home as one of the family in a small group (maximum five people) to be able to attend to you in a personal and close way.
Genders are not mixed in the same room (except couples), so it can happen that men will be accommodated in the hotel nearby in a private single room, without any additional charge. They will join for all the activities and the meals.
Program
Join Yoga Soul Spirit for an incredible 8-day retreat on the beautiful and sunny Costa Tropical in Andalusia.
Come and enjoy the beautiful and warm Costa Tropical in Southern Spain. This retreat will be an opportunity to reconnect with your body, release tensions, and clear your mind. You will embrace ease and grace in your yoga practice through Vinyasa and Yin yoga, but you will also have plenty of free time to enjoy the absolute beachfront location, maybe dive or kayak to explore the ocean.
All levels and beginners are warmly welcomed.
About the retreat
Yoga and daily walks on the beach are a perfect match to feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated. During this retreat, you can enjoy a daily yoga class that is more energetic (Vinyasa flow) if practiced in the morning and more relaxing when practiced in the evening (Yin yoga, three times a week). If possible, the classes will be held outdoors with spectacular views of the sea.
The classes are suitable for beginners and intermediate practitioners; your training will be tailored specifically to your needs and goals to lead you to your maximum potential. When you are not enjoying yoga, you can swim in the Mediterranean crystal water and enjoy the sunshine on the beach. You will find a multitude of restaurants and cafes in the local village.
Once per week, you will have the opportunity to visit nearby places (together as a group extra with minimum 2 participants or by yourself ) such as Granada, Nerja and Frigiliana (one of the most famous white villages in Southern Spain). Take the time to stroll and find joy and relaxation in slow living.
Gift yourself the ultimate act of kindness and self-care.
What makes this retreat special?
Imagine giving yourself permission to fully indulge in daily yoga, breathwork and time in nature to create healthy new habits to support your physical and emotional wellbeing.
The delicious and natural food will allow you to nourish your body from the inside. Yoga will help you to find your focus and reconnect with your body, working on your flexibility and balance. This retreat held near the beach in peaceful surroundings will be the ideal place to unplug, slow down that fast pace, and get back in touch with nature.

In this retreat, you can benefit from soothing Restorative yoga classes and re-energizing Vinyasa flow classes, and when you are not enjoying yoga, you can reconnect with nature with walks through breathtaking natural spots such as La Rijana (one of the nicest beaches in Andalusia) or visit pretty pueblos like Frigiliana with its whitewashed houses and colorful flower pots.
