WITH EMILY-CLARE
- INDULGE IN SELF AND RECONNECT TO ALL -
THE YOGA
Each day will begin with a morning guided meditation,
followed by breathing work before a flow asana practice creatively and intelligently sequenced.
Throughout the week we'll work through many peak asana and requests are very welcomed.
Mid week I will offer a yoga Nidra one evening and a yoga asana lab (an opportunity to breakdown postures)
Each late afternoon/evening will be a slower more nurturing grounded practice.
LEARN MORE ABOUT EMILY
This retreat is led by Emily-Clare Hill. Emily has been sharing yoga for just over 11 years. She has explored many styles of practice and ways of teaching, having taught in most locations you could imagine. She now has a large following of dedicated students, hosting her own yoga studio in Stoke Newington London, a very special vibe filled with community and love. Her skill for the practice is ever growing her mind is always open to new and always learning. Her mantra "once your stop learning you stop living" Emily has a skill for seeing the potential in students and helping them to embrace this themselves. She seems to see the things that we don't always see ourselves and helps draw attention to how you can grow your skill and joy for being. Paul unites with Emily to bring this retreat to full harmony.
WHERE...SPAIN, ALMERIA
Join me in this tranquil palm fronded oasis set in 30 acres of citrus and olive groves amidst the dramatic, semi desert countryside with imposing mountains and dazzling sea. This is the perfect spot to support peace, relaxation and practice – and personally one of my favourite retreat places ever! Finca del Alamo is on the edge of the Cabo de Gato National Park and Almeria airport is only 30mins away.
ACCOMODATION
The venue sits in the semi-desert landscape amid lush gardens, its architecture echoing ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
It consists of the main house the ‘Finca’, which won awards in the 80s for its striking modernist design, and a group of converted traditional buildings, the cortijos. The cortijos are just a couple of minutes walk from the main house and next to the yoga studio.
There are shared social and quiet spaces and two eco-pools, one at the house and one with the cortijos.
FOOD & DRINKS
All meals are a delicious vegan spread served up buffet style, with lots of choice. The retreat space use lots of fresh local produce. Our breakfast is self serve fruits if you want a little something before practice. Post practice will be a substantial brunch. An afternoon snack and dinner every day.
Except one day off where will head into town for a meal together.
Alcohol won’t be served with the meals, but we can add some as group or you can order things individually.
WHAT WILL I NEED
Not much, just what ever you like to move in, your day wear, there's pool of course but its really out letting go of what you need and just letting yourself be, so if you wear the same yoga gear every day then great!
