INHALE // EXHALE: ANDALUSIA
A 5-day yoga retreat in a rustic farmhouse in southern Spain
I invite you to retreat with me in the serene beauty of rural Andalusia. This is your chance to recharge, reset, and return to balance. Each day blends dynamic morning vinyasa and calming evening yin, with nourishing food, good company, and deep rest surrounded by nature.​
​
Our home for the week is a peaceful, rustic farmhouse. The Cortijo is a spacious, remote haven with a private 20m pool, courtyard garden, sunset dining terrace, and cosy interiors. Inside, two lounges feature a grand piano, fireplace, and bar area.
​
We’ll practice in two yoga shalas: a fully equipped indoor studio and an open-air platform surrounded by golden hills and wide open skies. Mornings are long, dynamic vinyasa sessions set to 4Beat music — with time to go deeper into meditation, breathwork, and a spacious savasana. Evenings offer yin and nidra to unwind and restore.
​
There’s plenty of free time to do exactly what you need. Feel welcome to relax by the pool, wander the hills, read, write, nap, or simply be. Quiet evenings may include film nights or shared moments under the stars.
​
This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself and deepend your practice. Through movement, stillness, nature, and community. You’ll leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more spacious, inside and out.

Hillside
Set in a tranquil countryside location, yet just an hour from the vibrant cities of Malaga and Granada, our retreat haven offers the perfect escape.
Nestled within olive groves and Spanish Oak, with no immediate neighbours, you’ll be enveloped in quiet and solitude, surrounded by nature to explore.
Food
We’re lucky to be nourished by the wonderful Africa, our chef for the week with heartfelt, homeade meals. All meals will be lovingly prepared using organic, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. The menu will be vegetarian and always made with care and intention.
​
Africa offers a wide variety of wholesome dishes. Expect a colourful spread of hearty salads, flavourful curries, lentil bakes, rustic tarts, homemade gluten-free bread, and refined sugar-free desserts. Breakfasts include options like soft-boiled eggs and spiced porridge made with quinoa, coconut, almonds, oats, and berries. You’ll also enjoy plenty of fresh fruit and juices, and around 90% of what’s served is made from scratch. ​

INFO
Arrival & Departure
Check-in is from 17:00 on Wednesday 24th September 2025. We will have dinner and practice. Check-out is by 11:00 on Sunday 28th September 2025. We’ll have our final practice and breakfast before departure.
Travel details
Malaga Airport is the closest airport. We can help to arrange transfers to and from the retreat centre at an additional cost once the groups travel plans are finalised. I recommend flights that arrive at around 2pm in Malaga if you wish to join the group transfer. Any flight that departs Malaga at around 2pm will work. If you prfer a later flight, you could spend the afternoon in Malaga city before heading to the airport.
Visa
It is your responsibility to check with the Spanish Government to determine the visa requirements based on your country of origin. Please ensure you organise this well in advance.
Catering
You’ll enjoy three homemade vegetarian/vegan meals daily, plus dinner on your arrival day and breakfast on your departure day. Fresh herbal tea, coffee, and water are available throughout the day.
While our talented chef Africa will do her best to accommodate different needs, her meals are prepared in a small, family-run kitchen, so she’s unable to cater for coeliac disease, severe nut allergies, or strict ketogenic diets. Most dishes are naturally gluten-free, and gluten-free bread will also be available.
Accomodation
Please note: the accommodation is rustic and comfortable, with the quirks you might expect from a 150-year-old building. El Cachete makes every effort to be eco-friendly: water is sourced from their own well, solar panels heat the water, and they compost and recycle. The house is naturally ventilated (they don’t use air conditioning), and each room has a standing fan.
Climate
September in Loja, Andalusia is absolute bliss. Expect warm, sunny days and cooler, refreshing evenings. When we visit toward the end of September the Andalusia is cooling off to a very comfortable 27°C (81°F) . At night, it can dip to around 12–16°C (52–58°F) which is perfect for cozy jumpers and stargazing. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen!
