When Spring comes, the grass grows by itself - Oshio
Unfurling, unwinding and unfolding belong to the time of Spring. When warmth, lightness and beauty permeate the space - it all begins. The waking up, the opening up, the reaching out, the venturing out. This retreat will assist and extend the pleasure of slow expansion with a rich blend of Yoga, TRE (Tension Release Exercises), Breath and Awareness practices (Focusing and Meditation).
All that while bathing in the sun and beauty of the expansive Andalucian cortijo with gardens overlooking the valley and the Mediterranean Sea. The Retreat Centre has one outdoor and two indoor studios, a salt-water pool, and beautiful gardens to spend afternoons in. Santillian Retreat is one of the top-ranked retreat centres in Europe and is only 35 minutes from Malaga Airport (photos)
