Transformative Yoga Retreat in Spain - Almeria

"Having recently returned from Jeff’s retreat in Almeria, I can honestly say, that it was the best retreat I’ve been on. The long, thoughtfully designed classes catered for all abilities in a playful and fun way. I loved the long meditations and pranayama practices, each one building up on the previous one. I felt challenged and nourished at the same time. I arrived with few aches and pains which have all gone by the end of the week. Apart from being an excellent, talented teacher, Jeff has a unique ability to bring a group together and make sure everyone is seen and included if they want to be. I came by myself and didn’t know anyone, yet I never felt lonely. I can’t wait for the next retreat."  Katya

The Yoga

The long morning practice will be a dynamic, creative, playful and explorative ‘deep slow flow’ asana practice and will include meditation and pranayama.  By emphasizing the breath, mindfulness & skillful action and building up through a range of appropriate options – students, from the less experienced to the more advanced, will discover how to work peacefully at the level appropriate to them.

Food

You will be served delicious vegetarian and vegan meals and there will be chicken and fish on offer a couple of times during the retreat for those who want it. The meals are healthy and varied with plenty of choices.

We can cater for gluten and dairy-free diets and for medical allergies. However, we regret we can’t cater for personal preferences or complicated special diets. One night a week dinner is eaten out, usually on excursion day.

Accommodation 

The accommodation is largely in shared twin or double ensuite rooms. A number of the rooms are in the main house which are a bit grander and others are in the converted Cortijo buildings a couple of hundred yards away. The Cortijo apartments have their own sitting room/kitchens. 

A limited number of singles are available at this venue for those who do want their own space, however, we would encourage you to consider sharing.  If you are coming on your own we can pair you with another person of the same gender, it’s a great way to make new friends and people who come on Jeff’s retreats are generally very lovely!  Non-yoga partners/friends are welcome.  

‘Thank you Jeff for your absolutely outstanding teaching - I honestly don’t think the programme could have been improved upon in any way - a wonderful week - a fabulous group - and the perfect balance between challenge and deep relaxation . I have learned so much , worked absolutely to my edge and come home with my batteries totally recharged ! Who could ask for more from a yoga retreat ?!’

‘A week of yoga with Jeff is one of a kind. Every class was well-thought through, playful and inspiring. Jeff truly showed us what yoga is about - both on the mat and off the mat. He is an attentive, clever, and fun teacher.  We all needed a little bit of Jeff yoga magic to reset. This is my second retreat with Jeff and certainly not the last. Thank you!'

"Just got back from a week retreat in Italy with jeff and would highly recommend for anyone looking to deepen their practice, hit the reset button and learn more about yourself and yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation & philosophy. I was feeling quite stuck in my personal practice and teaching before the retreat - and now I feel like I’ve rediscovered the joy and love I have for yoga. I learnt so so much that I will be able to take into my practice and teaching. Thank you so much jeff "
