Astanga, Hatha and Dynamic Flow yoga in Brighton and Hove.

A delightful retreat hidden away in a tiny hamlet, high in the mountains above Malaga and 30 minutes from the coast. The local scenery is stunning, offering fantastic walking, riding, or mountain biking (or just sitting back and enjoying the view!) Although there is one local bar closeby, the nearest village is 4km down the mountain where several cafes, bars and shops are located.

The great thing about Montana Palmera is that all accommodation is in single rooms (although no single supplement is payable!) Each of the nine rooms are en-suite with a terrace overlooking the mountains - on a clear day you can see Africa. Facilities include swimming pool & sun terrace, dining room and a bar (where drinks and snacks can be purchased).

There is a purpose built yoga circle in the shade of the trees on the mountainside and it is also possible to practice yoga indoors behind full length panoramic windows affording wonderful views. There is no yoga on arrival or departure day; we practice yoga on 5 days when I will be teaching an energising two-hour Astanga Vinyasa Yoga session each morning before brunch and a relaxing 90 minute class including pranayama and meditation, before dinner. The free day is yours to enjoy as you wish where a half day excursion to a local beach is suggested.

£450 per student.
Price includes 7 nights accommodation in single room, Yoga (2 classes per day on 5 days; one day is a rest day), large breakfast/brunch daily & dinner on 6 nights. On the yoga-free day the group are invited to a typical Spanish restaurant for an evening meal (not included).

Flights to/from Malaga, transfers (taxi shares will be organised where possible), travel insurance, one evening meal.

The earlier you book your flights, the cheaper they will be. Many low cost airlines fly to Malaga. Once my flight is booked, all participants booking on the holiday will be given my flight times so that we can endeavour to travel on the same flight or arrange to arrive at similar times so that the cost of the transfer may be shared.
