You are warmly invited to take part in this special yoga retreat in the foothills of the Alpujarras, part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Southern Spain. This promises to be a relaxing, nurturing and restorative holiday on the stunning land.
Each gentle yoga session on this retreat will be accessible for all, combining asana (postures), flowing exercises, and meditation, with the breath. The sessions will include postures and exercises that can be modified for each individual, depending on ability and familiarity with yoga. The yoga sessions will usually be a mix of gentle dynamic exercises, longer-held postures, and deep relaxation. Joy’s teaching style is informed by therapeutic yoga and spiritual practices.
Numbers are very limited, so please register your interest as soon as possible to join this week of sunshine, relaxation and yoga!

The Venue
The house, La Catitera, is located in Almegijar in Andalusia. It was an old inn, lovingly restored into a beautiful home and guest house, which is remotely situated in a breathtaking and wild location. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable, decorated in a bohemian casual style with a great deal of Moroccan influence, with a swimming pool on the terrace. It is the ideal place for relaxation and contemplation, bird and river song, reading, writing, painting, swimming and of course, meditation and yoga.
The closest airports to La Catitera are Granada, which is a 1hr 15min drive away and Malaga, which is a 1hr 45min drive away.

Food
Delicious, colourful plates of fresh food at every meal, made lovingly by a local cook. All ingredients will be gluten-free and vegan, with the option of dairy products, eggs and bread/wheat on the side, should you wish.
Activities
As La Catitera sits in a popular walking destination with spectacular mountain villages and is not far from the beach and from Granada, we will be exploring the local area, while leaving ample time for relaxation and rest, eating, swimming in the pool and general free time. Optional days out, to be decided when we are together as a group, include walking in the mountains, Orgivá market, trip to Granada, and an excursion to a local beach.
Massage
Eve, a qualified Tui Na (clothed) massage therapist, acupuncturist and naturopath will be offering these treatments during your time on the retreat. Payment to be made to her directly.
