Align & Energize Yoga Retreat in Southern Spain

Join Neta Katz and Eve Holbrook for a week-long retreat at beautiful Centro Santillan. Gloriously situated in the Axarquia mountains of Southern Spain, Santillan is an authentic Andalusian farmhouse overlooking the Mediterranean sea; a spectacular location to relax, connect with yourself, deepen your practice, and explore the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Andalusia.

Santillan features one of Europe’s finest state-of-the-art studios equipped with an inspiring rope wall, spacious en-suite accommodation, delicious locally-grown vegetarian food, and a range of indoor and outdoor facilities, less than 30 minutes from Malaga airport by car.

We will lead two daily extended yoga classes suitable for all levels — an active asana class in the morning, and a restorative and pranayama practice in the evening. As the week progresses, we will build upon a steady foundation of fundamental principles, towards a deeper, more refined practice that addresses individual needs, and develops each student’s skills and abilities. If you have any physical issues or injuries, we will help you modify for them.

Between sessions, there will be time to relax in the extensive gardens, on the terrace overlooking the sea, swim in the saltwater pool, and take walks. You may want to further explore the surrounding area which is rich in natural and historic beauty. The coves of Nerja, ancient Ronda, the white-washed village of Figiiliana, and Malaga’s Historic District are all a 30 minute drive away.

Our retreat is designed to be a transformative experience and not just a holiday with yoga. As a participant, this means being prepared to work and cultivate one's awareness in class and beyond. Please keep in mind that the focus is mainly on the yoga practice and this should be mindfully considered when/if planning excursions.
