This all-inclusive 6-day retreat combines transformative yoga practices that guide you deeply inward with stunning hikes designed to inspire and immerse you in nature.
The hiking trails on this retreat range from longer, more challenging hikes to shorter, easier ones, offering you a varied exploration of the area's stunning landscapes. Each edition of this retreat is unique as many people return over and over again.
Our yoga sessions are designed to complement your day – starting with more dynamic classes in the morning to energize you for the hikes, and concluding with serene, deeply nourishing sessions in the late afternoon to help you find restoration on a deep level.
This is a unique Hiking and Yoga Retreat for all nature lovers. Discover the local treasures in the nearby Natural Park Sierra de Grazalema with the help of experienced guides while being in an environment where you can focus completely on yourself and be nourished and supported at all levels.
The goal of this retreat is to help you deepen your yoga and self-care practice in a beautiful retreat environment while exploring the breathtaking nature of Andalusia and the Spanish countryside.
YOGA
You will enjoy two to three yoga workshops a day. Accessible for beginner practitioners but also deepening and refining the practice of more experienced yoga teachers and students.
Imagine starting your morning with meditation practices as the sun rises, followed by superb energising yoga before a delicious breakfast buffet awaits you. The more mellow afternoon sessions will be a perfect way to recharge and energise after the hiking activities and come back with well-established self-care practices.

Retreat Leader
Lidiya is an experienced yoga teacher who leads retreats, community classes, and advanced training modules. Yoga has been at the heart of her life since she first discovered the practice in 2006, and she has been sharing it with others since 2014.
Her classes are often described as both inspiring and nurturing — a dynamic balance of vigor and vitality, combined with gentler, grounding sequences. Through her guidance, students often leave feeling uplifted, spacious, and deeply alive well beyond the class itself.
Breath awareness is central to her teaching, as she encourages practitioners to integrate body and mind through conscious, embodied movement. With careful attention to subtle details, Lidiya invites students to bring meditation into motion, refining awareness of the present moment and cultivating depth within the practice.
Her yoga sessions are often enhanced with the soothing sounds of singing bowls, and through her Restorative and Yoga Nidra offerings, she helps students discover the profound power of conscious rest. Her teaching aims to create a sense of inner quiet, resilience in the nervous system, and harmony across all levels of being.
Lidiya's classes intend to:
-
Weave together strength, stillness, and awareness to offer a balanced, joyful, and transformational experience
-
refine presence by drawing attention to the subtle layers of the practice
-
awaken and enliven inner energy, leaving students clear, spacious, and invigorated
-
Nurture nervous system balance to reduce mental and emotional stress
-
guide students into deep conscious rest with her restorative and Nidra sessions
Personal Aspiration
“Do your practice and all you need will flow effortlessly in life…”
Trainings
In addition to completing her 200 & 300-hour teacher trainings with Frog Lotus Yoga International, Lidiya has studied Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers, Therapeutic Yoga with Donna Farhi, as well as Sound Therapy and Thai Massage — all of which enrich and inform her teaching style.
