The 2026 Course Programme

Sunshine and Self Care Yoga Retreat
10 Oct - 17 Oct 2026

Enjoy a week of Spanish Sun and Self Care in October 2026 with Claire, Helen and Kate.  This will be our third retreat near Almeria, and will be the perfect opportunity to rest, relax and restore, with nurturing yoga, massage, delicious food and good company – the perfect reset before the winter.

Yoga practice

Kate and Claire have run several retreats together, Kate being the yin to Claire’s yang !  Between us we offer a wonderful range of classes, so there really will be something for everyone.  We encourage to join as few or as many yoga classes as feels right for you.

Massage treatments

Helen has been a massage therapist for 30 years, and will offer a selection of treatments so that you can choose the perfect one for your needs.

Excursions

We are planning to visit Mojacar, a pretty moorish town with narrow streets and shops to visit, and Agua Amarga, a beautiful beach with crystal clear waters.

Relaxing surroundings and accommodation

The accommodation is very comfortable, with ensuite bathrooms and air-conditioning.  Three daily meals are included, with nurturing, nourishing vegetarian food. There are two pools to choose from, and stunning views.  The little village of Nijar is a 30 minute walk from the finca, and is renowned for it’s ceramics.  The finca is surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna, perfect for bird watching, and the dark night skies are excellent for star gazing.
