YOGA RETREATS
INSIDE FLOW RETREAT
FLOW INTO SPRING
April 6-11
RONDA, Andalusia (ES)
Nature Reserve Yoga Retreat Center
You love moving your body, spending time in nature,
breathing fresh mountain air, living by the sunrise and sunset.
Join us for our first Inside Flow retreat in beautiful Spain!
We are going to move, sweat, laugh and create connection and community.
Surrounded by the tranquility of nature.
“Immerse in the peace of nature, comfort and yoga in the mountains of Southern Spain.”
Take the gift of relaxation on our nature and hiking yoga retreat. Where the Parque Natural of the Sierra de Grazalema rises from quiet rural byways like an apparition and the natural world takes over, find yourself enticed into wellbeing. Where great buttresses of rock silhouetted against the clouds soar above a forested landscape tinged with green, feel the vitality of this area even when the rest of Andalucía turns yellow under the Spanish sun. Deemed a Unesco Biosphere reserve since 1977 this land is one of the best places to hike in Southern Spain.
The Sierra de Grazalema and whitewashed villages serve as the gateways to our Yoga Retreat Center which hosts some of Spain's prettiest mountain scenery. Our retreat center is settle in this picturesque land of diverse terrain with its narrow passes connecting the villages over high mountain ridges.
Being between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, this dynamic area is home to unique plants and animals and has a slightly tropical microclimate. On the same day there can be warm sunshine, clouds or rain and directly a return to warm sunshine. From fascinating historical stories of the surrounding whitewashed villages to Neolithic tombs, a visitor to this province can do yoga in the morning, explore serene hiking trails, cool off in one of the five outdoor swimming pools with views of the Sierra, taste local foods and finally sleep with the silence of the mountain.
The accommodations are rooms in villas with views of the mountain, air conditioners and heaters and there is wifi inside the buildings.
If you're looking for a mountain and yoga vacation, this is the place for you!

THE NATURE
The villas, gardens, walking paths, and swimming pools that make up the Nature Reserve yoga retreat center are nestled under an escarpment and have a panoramic view of the Sierra Grazalema mountains. Fresh clean mountain air fills a visitor's lungs with every breath. The Andalusian sunlight illuminates the natural landscape and olive trees that dot the mountain side. One can hear the soft chirping of birds and the occasional bleat of goats and sheep that roam the lands outside of retreat center. Just being in this place of stillness brings a sense of peace and wellbeing like no other.
The hiking tour takes yoga retreat participants on paths around the mountain, up to the breath-taking view of the whitewashed villages and/or to the Giant Dolmen. From the Neolithic period, the magic of the Giant Dolmen takes us back in time and reminds us of the everlasting health of a land where people have resided for thousands of years.
You will need to walk the mountain paths to get around between your villa, the yoga shala, the main house and the swimming pools.
WHITEWASHED VILLAGES
The Whitewashed villages of the Serranía de Cadiz sparkle under the sunlight of the lengthy days. Brimming with history and stories of when the Arabs built the villages and inhabited the area up until around the 8th century, each one has its own feel.
Explore the architecturally fascinating city of Ronda with its stunning cliffside location and deep canyons. Visit the Puente Nuevo, gazing over the precipice’s edge. Known to be the birthplace of bullfighting in Spain, visit Ronda's bullring museum and learn about the history. Explore the winding streets walking down through the impressive gorge to visit the ruins of the Arab baths from Moorish life during the 13th to the 16th century in Spain. Taste local products like the award-winning Payoyo goat cheese, wine, and jamón.
