Description
Renew body and mind in harmony
What to expect? Arriving around lunchtime on the 16th October we will begin practising that evening in the indoor Yoga space and continue with a programme of two optional two hour practices each day. The mornings will be spent on the Yoga platform overlooking the surrounding mountain view, and in the evening, the indoor space will be used for their Yoga practice.Here is your chance to leave your day to day concerns behind. Perhaps you are looking for some much needed respite/a break from the to-do list. Or perhaps you want to really focus on developing your Yogi skillset and take that next step in your Yoga journey - then this retreat is for you. The food will be delicious, homemade, and mostly vegetarian, with occasional meat options, and adapted to your dietary requirements. There is an honesty bar for soft drinks, with some alcohol available too. Filtered water, tea, coffee and fruit are freely available all day. The practice together will be grounded in the wisdom of the ancient teachings of Yoga and provide a chance for participants to dive deeper into their practice. If you have ever wondered what might be the effect of Yoga on your body and mind if you had time to systematically practice Yoga regularly, as one might at an ashram where individuals live and breathe Yoga, this is your chance to find out. Participants can explore meditation and breathing exercises (pranayama) more deeply than it is possible in their weekly hour Yoga class and have more time to be playful with movement. You can also try chanting Sanskrit mantra if you like and refresh your knowledge on some of the key aspects of Yoga philosophy, at our optional afternoon talks. Valle de Vida is set in eighteen acres of unspoilt land, has a luxurious solar heated swimming pool, treatment room for therapies, steam, and sauna. Accommodation is either in the main house or in one of the teepees, ME-Pods, or Geodesic domes for those who prefer to be a little closer to nature. Valle de Vida’s Yoga and wellness retreat is designed to have minimal impact on the 18 acres of unspoilt land, in harmony with the natural beauty of Spain’s Pizarra Mountains. Participants depart after breakfast on the 21st October.

It’s important that your flight arrives before 2pm since the venue is remote and at least some part of the journey will be organised by the venue owners. Once you arrive at the airport you have a couple of options 1. From Malaga Airport travel by train to Pizarra station with one change at Victoria Kent - this takes 40 mins. There will be a transfer to the venue from Pizarra station arranged for a specific time, which we will inform you of closer to the time (it will be arranged according to your flight arrivals as much as possible). The taxi from Pizarra takes about 15 mins The cost of the train ticket is approx 8€ and the cost of the taxi is approx 10€ pp. 2. From Malaga Airport travel by taxi transfer to the venue directly. This takes 45 minutes in total and costs 50€ pp.
Recommended flights Not all flights for October 2024 will be available yet to book. However there are many airline providers that fly to Malaga, including Vueling, EasyJet, Wizz Air, RyanAir and TUI. Here are some we have found so far - From: London Southend Airport (SEN) EASYJET 09:20 - 1:15 From: Stanstead Airport (STN) RYANAIR 8:40 - 12:35 From: Luton Airport (LTN) EASYJET 8:40 - 12:40 From: Gatwick Airport (LGW) EASYJET 8:45 - 12:40 Flights that land around 12/1pm are best because our first meal together will be lunch on the first day at around 2.30pm, so please try to arrive in time for that. If you arrive into the late afternoon or evening transfers are likely to cost more. Airport transfers will cost approx. 60 Euros per person for daytime arrivals. Alternatively you may want to board a train from Malaga to Pizarra and we can arrange transfers from Pizarra at a fraction of the cost. This option you can do on your return as well. We can have breakfast together on the last day at 8.30am and transfers to follow from around 10am. Please plan your return flight accordingly.
