Molino del Rey is set in the beautiful nature reserve “Sierra de las Nieves” in Andalucia, Southern Spain. Top yoga experts regularly rate Molino del Rey as one of the best yoga retreats in the world.

The retreat has a 110m2 Yoga Hall and unique meditation caves to help focus your mind. There is also a beautiful salt water pool, sauna, a variety of lovely terraces, meditation gardens and relaxing hammocks. The surroundings are truly serene and will put your nervous system at an instant ease.

DAILY PRACTICE ROUTINE:

As usual, on our retreats, we will begin each morning with an opening awareness practice, that will help you open up your consciousness and make space to receive experiences, as well as insights during the practices throughout the day.

In Manasa Yoga, we take you through a range of mindfulness tools (breath-work and other concentration practices). At first glance, they seem to be used solely to reduce stress, calm your nervous system, increase awareness, and develop a deeper sense of presence on the mat and in your daily life. While this is all true, the practices at their core aim to connect you to your true essence, what you really are. Something we all yearn for.

Morning opening awareness practice will be followed by a warm drink before an energising yoga session in the beautiful yoga hall which includes all the needed props such as: chairs, blocks, bolsters etc.. We will end with a philosophy talk just before the brunch.

After brunch, you will have a few hours to rest, contemplate the newly received information, as well as chill in the many calm and relaxing corners of the garden. If you are up for a more active rest, there are hiking routes available including one to a nearby waterfall.

NOURISHMENT:

At the retreat we will be nourishing our bodies with healthy food as it is an essential part of our practice. You will be able to indulge in the flavours of delicious, plant-focused, local and seasonal cuisine. 2 meals a day will be prepared for us by the chef based at the retreat.
