Come and join us in the foothills of Andalusia, nestled in amongst the lemon trees and surrounded by beautiful landscape for this 5 day Yoga & Digital Detox Retreat, October 1st-6th 2024
During retreat, we will delve deeply into our yoga practise, with time and space to disconnect from the demands of the digital world, allowing us the opportunity to fully reconnect to self and be in community together. There will be a strong yoga sessions each morning and a more relaxed session each evening, all sessions except Wednesday evening are with Estela. Wednesday we will have Cecilia Palafox offering us a sound bath. There will be plenty of free time to relax by the pool, walk in the mountains, explore the local area, read, write and rest. You can also book in massages, osteopathy or beauty treatments in the treatment room during your free time. Our hosts Silvia and Eros will be preparing delicious vegetarian meals for us each day. All accommodation is in same gender shared Bell tents, unless you request to be together as a couple. The retreat is limited to eight participants, so it will be quite an intimate small group setting. The retreat is a digital detox retreat, and you will have the option to leave your devices in a safe place for the duration of the retreat. There will be an emergency phone number given, so you can be contacted, but please only to be used in the case of an emergency. If you wish to keep your devices with you, please just have them turned off when in communal spaces or when in the company of other participants, so as to not disturb their experience of the retreat. Many thanks.
The retreat cost is £750 or £650 early bird discount if booked before the 15th of June. Prices include your accommodation, all yoga sessions and sound bath, use of pool and gardens, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will be offering two concession places for £500 open to anyone who wouldn't otherwise be able to come, so please do ask. Places are limited and will book up fast, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Flights to Malaga, transfers and treatments are not included and will need to be book separately. I recommend booking flights early to get good prices.
A shared hire car from Malaga airport is recommended so you have the freedom to explore the local area, please let me know if you are interested in this option and I will put you in touch with other participants to arrange. Generally car hire in Malaga is not too expensive and if shared will likely be less than taking taxis both ways. Standard airport taxis are €60 to the Finca or pre booked through us with local taxi company will be €50
If you would like to stay on after the retreat at Finca los Almeces, they are offering a special rate for retreat guest. Accommodation : €50 for two people in shared bell tent or €40 for one person in single occupancy bell tent. And optional meals: Breakfast €8, Lunch €18 and Dinner €20 all meals would need booking with some notice.
Yoga sessions with Estela
Estela will be leading a powerful somatic flow yoga classes each morning, inviting you to explore your own felt experience fully, while building strength and freedom of movement in the body, always with a strong emphasis on self care. (The classes are accessible for most abilities, and there will always be more gentle or more challenging options available where needed, but please message me if you have any questions or concerns). The evening classes will be a mixture of Yin and gentle flow and will include breath awareness and deep relaxation.

Accommodation and the Finca
About the local Area
Finca Los Almeces is located between the small Andalucian towns of Pizarra and Alora and is a 30 minute drive to the north of Malaga. There are Beautiful hillside walks directly from the Finca or you have the beautiful lakes near Ardales and El Caminito del Rey about 45 minutes drive inland. Malaga is a pretty city to explore and if you have time I recommend a trip to the Arabian baths, Hammam Al Andalus. Granada is just 1.5 hours drive from Malaga and if you are staying on after the retreat, the Alhambra is definitely worth a visit (you would need to book well in advance).
