A 5-night retreat in the hills of Andalusia, Spain. 21-26 March 2027
Join us for five nights at a private villa in the Andalusian hills of Southern Spain. With ocean views, lush gardens, a swimming pool and two dedicated yoga studios, it's a peaceful setting to spend a few days enjoying the best of the Spanish spring.
​
Expect great yoga, long leisurely meals, plenty of sunshine and time to swim, explore or simply enjoy being somewhere different. An escape from everyday life, with a wonderful setting and good company.
​
Hosted by HYC teachers Emily and Freya, the retreat brings together a varied programme of yoga and meditation, freshly prepared vegetarian food and all the things that make a retreat week away feel special.
​
Come on your own (many people do), bring a friend, a sister, daughter, son or someone special. However you choose to join us, you'll be welcome.
Why Join Us?
A few days away can be just what you need, particularly at this time of year. A change of scenery, some sunshine, a good yoga practice and time to enjoy the things you don't always get around to.
​
This retreat is for you if you'd like to:
-
Spend time somewhere beautiful as winter turns to spring.
-
Enjoy a varied yoga programme, with the opportunity to explore different styles.
-
Take a break from the usual routine and have a few days without the usual demands.
-
Spend time outdoors, whether that's by the pool, in the gardens or exploring the surrounding hills.
-
Enjoy nourishing food, long meals and good company.
-
Meet new people in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
-
Have a little time to yourself.​
​
You don't need to be an experienced at yoga or have been on a retreat before. Our classes are open to different levels and abilities, with options throughout.
The Experience
We've planned a week with a good balance of yoga, meditation, time outdoors, and space to do your own thing.
​
There will be 3–4 yoga and meditation sessions each day, with a varied programme of uplifting Vinyasa and Hatha, grounding Yin, guided meditation and deeply restful evening practices.
​
Mornings will offer the opportunity to get moving with a flowing practice, while other sessions will give you the chance to slow things down. As the evenings draw in, we'll gather for restorative yoga by the fire and Yoga Nidra.
​
And then there's everything in between.
​
Long breakfasts, afternoons by the pool, a walk in the hills, a trip to the beach, a massage or a quiet hour with a book. You might spend the whole afternoon outside or simply enjoy having nowhere to be.
​
Think of it as a special gift to yourself. Five nights away from the usual routine, with good yoga, beautiful surroundings and time to enjoy it all.

The Food
Good food is a big part of a good retreat. The villa has its own gardens, where fruit and vegetables are grown, so much of what we eat comes straight from the land. Think sun-ripened Spanish tomatoes, seasonal produce and colourful Mediterranean dishes.
​
You'll enjoy three freshly prepared vegetarian meals each day, full of flavour and made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We'll eat together, with time to linger over breakfast, enjoy a proper lunch break and settle in for relaxed evening dinners.
​
And there's something pretty special about having someone else take care of the cooking for a few days.
Your Teachers
Emily and Freya have been running retreats together for many years and love bringing people together through yoga, good food and shared experiences.
​
As HYC teachers, they take a thoughtful and accessible approach to teaching, balancing uplifting movement with slower, restorative practices. Their sessions weave in yoga philosophy and anatomy, offering deeper insights and understanding in an engaging, approachable way.
​
Across the week, you'll experience a mix of styles:
-
Emily will lead energising Vinyasa, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
-
Freya will guide Hatha, Yin and Meditation.
​
Whether you've been practising for years or are relatively new to yoga, there's something for you. You might feel like challenging yourself, trying something different or taking things at a softer pace. All of it has a place here.
​
Their retreats are known for being welcoming and down to earth, with a relaxed atmosphere, good company and the chance to explore a variety of practices.
