Yoga Holiday
June 10th-15th 2020

Get away from it all in the stunning Andalusian countryside - connect with nature and have some well deserved time for yourself. The luxurious surroundings offer plenty of space for self-reflection, a leisurely stroll down to the flamingo lake, or a quiet shaded spot to sit and read.

Swim in our private pool, surrounded by palm trees accompanied by bird song, or retreat into your headphones listening to your favourite playlist, the choice is all yours.

We’ll be fed three delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals a day, have fresh fruit, tea and coffee available.

In the evenings, enjoy the gorgeous comfortable Moroccan snug and help yourself at the Honesty Bar. The adjoining patio is the perfect spot to soak up the sunset with a G&T or fresh juice. I will also be available throughout the day and evening to answer any yoga questions you may have, and to go over any specific poses with you, should you desire.

At night we will sleep in exquisitely designed rooms with wonderfully comfy beds, en suite bathrooms and plenty of space.

This Yoga Holiday offers you a great opportunity to deepen your Yoga practice with twice daily 1.5 hour sessions. Raggs' classes are a wonderful balance of stretching, building strength and flexibility, developing balance and becoming more tuned into, and aware of your own body . Each day will have one challenging pose that we can explore together, with a sense of playfulness, looking at why we might feel challenged, and how to embrace those feelings, so we can move on freely. Sessions will end with breathing techniques to calm and centre, and restorative relaxation through yoga nidra. (guided relaxation)

“My desire is to share my love of Yoga with you, imbuing you with the confidence to create your own personal home practice and to leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and recharged. Summer here we come!”

Early bird price, available till Valentine's Day is £525 After that it's £565

The Cortijo
A cortijo is an old Andalucian farm house, normally comprising of a group of buildings with an internal courtyard. Our cortijo is situated on a small hill offering 360 degrees of views with a small laguna 500m away which often has many flamingoes. We have reformed and refurbished the buildings in keeping with the original style creating 5 very large bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. They are extremely spacious and the beds can be used both as doubles or separated into singles.
We have converted the barn into a large studio ideal for any practise. We supply all equipment necessary.
The cortijo has a lovely swimming pool and Moroccan style bar alongside to relax. Other areas that are available for the group include the internal courtyard, rear porch terrace, indoor bar and a indoor chill out Moroccan room.

Your Hosts
Will be Kells and Celi, the lucky owners of Cortijo San Jose in Andalusia.
They arrived in Barcelona three and a half years ago and moved to Andalusia a year later having been captivated by the area and the beautiful cortijo where they now live. Kells has thirty years experience in the catering industry running and cooking in restaurants in different parts of the world. Kells has a passion for looking after people, and Celi has worked renovating a number of properties and interior design, and also has a huge amount of experience looking after people in the short term rental business. Together their skills blend very well to provide excellent service for retreats. They speak English, Portuguese and Spanish fluently and are also able to communicate in French and German.
