All our meals are inspired by the mediterranean and yogic kitchen and are daily prepared fresh in our villa to make you feel great from the inside out. Live a healthier and more vibrant life with our clean eating recipes and recharge.
It is an eating philosophy based on a wholesome vegetarian diet. Using the elements of healthy eating, vegetarian ingredients, combining spices and herbs that have therapeutic value and delicious flavours create the perfect diet for a consistent yogic practice.
You are what you eat is a sentence used a lot in when it comes to yoga but it has a very powerful meaning. Yoga believes that food not only influences your body in the physical sense but is also known to directly influence emotions and feelings.
Brunch:
After your first Yoga class we prepare a lovely brunch for you which is served buffet style. Eat what you like and as much as you desire.
Every morning we prepare sweet and hearty things. There is a well-prepared rotation to make sure we meet your tastes, serve you enough energy for the day but make sure you won’t overeat yourself ;-). Recharge with our clean eating recipes.
Snacks:
In the afternoon we prepare some snacks for you to make sure to keep the blood sugar level running and give you energy for the evening yoga class.
The snacks we prepare are daily changing and can vary from energy balls, over raw bites to courgette muffins and much more.
Dinners:
Every evening we serve a lovely dinner after the yoga class. Enjoy the dinner on our outside terrace or inside, however you prefer.
Every dinner starts with an appetizer followed by a main course, salad and ends with a delicious and healthy dessert.
Our dishes depend on the seasonal availability of products and the temperature outside. If it's very warm we will cook a divers kitchen versus the cooler days.
According to Yogic needs, our kitchen is designed to barely use dairy products. Some dishes that have dairy will be included, but we will always offer vegan option if necessary. We replaced all “white” food by whole grains to make sure you get a well-balanced diet as for example bread, rice...
Our 10 years of experience in the health sector has given us the knowledge we need to create a vigorous, delicious yogic meal plan.
If you need a special diet due to allergies please let us know before your arrival in order to take care of you. Not everything may be available but we promise we will always do our best to take care of you.

For the morning classes we have prepared a dynamic active Yoga sequence for you, which will build up during your stay with us. On day one we may give you a short introduction on what you will expect and then you follow the flow.
We created the Yoga sequences inspired by Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga.
Every day we are going to work on different parts of the body and create awareness for it. We will start the class in a silent meditation to get ready for the Yoga, warm up with sun salutations and will then focus on opening the heart, shoulders, backbends, hips, just to name a few. We have also prepared a very special detox-class for you!
The classes are suitable for all levels, no matter what your conditions are. Our teachers know how to adapt to a higher or lower level. Remember, Yoga is for everybody.
"Yoga is not about knowing how to do a headstand, it is about finding your inner peace"
The evening classes are based on restorative Yoga. Less work, more relaxation. You will spend your Yoga class in modified active standard asanas using strategically placed props as bolsters, straps and blankets to help you sink into deep relaxation.
It is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from the frenetic activity of daily life and let your speedometer return to zero.
Yin Yoga is a very slow-paced passive style of yoga with asanas held between 3-5 minutes. The poses apply a moderate stress to the connective tissue of the body, releasing tendons, fascia, ligaments with the aim to increase circulation in the joints, improving flexibility and freeing the meridians of the body.
It's a more meditative approach to yoga, Yin has the aim to create awareness of the inner silence and to energize yourself at the same time.
Our two Yoga teachers are working with you during your week, making sure you get the best Yoga experience during your holiday with us.
During your Yoga retreat we would like to give you the possibility to experience different spaces.
Shala means home and this is how we would like to make you feel from the first moment you step into our Yoga space.
We created an amazing rooftop Yoga terrace, built on about 100 square meters, offering you 360 degree views over the mountains and the atlantic ocean. The Yoga space is open air giving you the possibility to soak in the fragrance of the pines and the atlantic ocean. Imagine yourself in a yoga practice with the sound of the nature, finding your inner peace. After your first Yoga class you never want to leave this place again.
On the days it may be chilly we also have a lovely indoor-yoga space. It's a Yoga space on around 40 m2 with a clean-chic aesthetic to make sure your mind stays opened and focused for yoga. This space as well offers you an outstanding view over the pines and the atlantic ocean.
Wake up by the sunrise over the mountain and get relaxed and mindful by the sunset into the ocean. Is there a better way to start or end your day?
For the Yoga retreat we will provide you with high quality Yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, straps and blankets. If you feel you cannot practice without your own yoga mat, feel free to bring it with you but it's not needed. We have everything in place for a perfect Yoga retreat.
During your stay with us we will start our Yoga classes with a short 5-10 min Meditation to bring all of our awareness into the moment to be able to focus on what is happening right in front of us. Throughout the week we have prepared a special silent walk with a guided meditation at the beach to make sure you get the maximum relaxation, mindfulness and energy out of your Yoga retreat.
You can fly to Jerez de la Frontera, Malaga or Sevilla and make your way to the villa by taxi, bus or rental car
