We'll be staying at a beautiful 4-star boutique hotel in El Rompido, southern Spain. Adults-only, two pools, surrounded by olive trees, pine forest, beautiful beaches and quaint little fishing towns.
It's not flashy or over-the-top, it's comfortable, peaceful, and designed for rest. The kind of place where you can actually switch off.
Small group (10–15 people max). Intimate. Intentional. No crowds, no kids running around, no hustle. Just space.
A DAY AT THE RETREAT
Mornings start slow. We gather for breakfast at 9am, a chance to ease into the day, chat over coffee, and connect before yoga. The buffet is open 8–10am if you need a slower start, but if you can join us at 9, it's one of the best parts of the day.
Yoga happens around 11am; on the beach, in the forest, or by the pool depending on the day.
Afternoons are yours. Read, swim, nap, explore the town, sit by the pool and do absolutely nothing. This is your time.
Evenings we gather again, sometimes for a deeper practice, sometimes for guided relaxation, sometimes just to sit in a circle and talk about how we're feeling.
Dinner is at 8pm. Then the evening is yours. Join the hotel's flamenco night, have a glass of wine by the pool, or go to bed early. No rules.

Meet Clair
I'm a yoga teacher from Scotland, now based in southern Spain, and I know exactly what it feels like to be so tired that rest doesn't even register anymore.
I spent years running on empty before my body forced me to stop. Yoga gave me a way back to myself, not the Instagram kind, the real kind. The kind that helps your nervous system remember it's allowed to come down.
Now I help people who are carrying too much for too long. If that's you, I'm glad you're here.
I'd never been to a yoga retreat before so I didn't really know what to expect. And everything has exceeded my expectations. The yoga, the EFT, the friendliness of the group. It's a nice way to spend three days and money well spent.
Clare Usher
I was very tense when I came here. I had shoulder pain, it was really stiff and it kept bothering me.
Today (on the last day) I don't have any pain! And mentally, I feel much more relaxed and at ease with myself.
Emer O'Connor
I really enjoyed the forest walks (kinda random because I wouldn't have thought that was something I would enjoy). But just the actual pausing and taking those few minutes after you take the breaths and you just BE. It's really just a reset EVERY time. And my life is mental! This was a little reminder that five seconds of just pausing can be a reset.
Mary Gilligan
It's a very relaxed and adaptable retreat. If you come here exhausted and you have not got the ability to partake in the first morning, it isn't the end of the world because your body is just saying "I need something else". The organisation of the retreat has been just fabulous. The EFT, the yoga and the hotel itself lent beautifully to what we have been able to experience.

FAQs
Do I need yoga experience?
No. This retreat is for tired humans, not flexible ones. All levels welcome.
What if I can't afford it right now?
Payment plans available. DM/email me and we'll figure it out.
What's the accommodation like?
The rooms are beautiful, clean and large. All rooms have ensuite bathroom and balcony/terrace. The hotel has a gold certificate from Travel Life for Accommodation Sustainability.
What's your cancellation policy?
Please check the cancellation policy below
Why isn't lunch included?
After our first retreat, the feedback was clear, people felt over-full with three buffet meals a day. Lunch on your own gives you freedom: grab something light, explore a local café, or just have fruit by the pool. It's about feeling revitalized, not stuffed.
What if I don't want to do everything on the schedule?
Nothing is mandatory except showing up as you are. If you need to skip a session and nap instead, do it. If you want to join the beach yoga but skip the evening practice, perfect. This retreat adapts to you, not the other way around.
How do I get there?

Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel:
I understand life happens. Here's how cancellations work:
Deposit (€300): Non-refundable, but you can transfer it to a future retreat or pass your spot to someone else.
More than 60 days before the retreat: Full refund minus your deposit.
30–59 days before: 50% refund.
Less than 30 days before: No refund (I've already paid the venue, food, and other costs to hold your spot).
If you find someone to take your place at any point, I'm happy to transfer your booking and refund you in full minus a small admin fee (€50).
If I need to cancel:
If for any reason I have to cancel the retreat, you'll receive a full refund or the option to transfer to a rescheduled date.
Travel insurance:
I strongly recommend getting travel insurance that covers trip cancellations due to illness, injury, or unforeseen circumstances. This protects both of us.
