Yoga vacations in Spain

Planet

Putting People & the Planet first.

We actively seek out retreat venues that have a strong commitment to sustainability and who make use of the fantastic local produce we have growing in this region. We ourselves are a small, local business based in Spain and pride ourselves on selecting the best local teachers, guides & therapists - not just because they're local - but because they bring local colour & knowledge that's not found in guidebooks.

Whilst everyone on our team help bring our retreats alive, the truth is, without them being able to work locally they would most likely have to move away from the area to find work elsewhere - away from their family & social circles.

Recycling.

As a business & the venues we work with, all actively recycle cardboard , paper, plastic, cans & glass using specific recycling containers which guests are encouraged to use too.

In addition, guest bathrooms have large dispensers of organic toiletries rather than small plastic bottles which not only need frequently replacing but also add to the amount of plastics that need recycling. You’ll also have the option to re-use the towels & linen in your room too to help save water, electricity, soap & labour.

Green Energy.

In addition to the use of low consumption light bulbs, the vast majority of our hotel’s electricity comes from the sun - solar panels. Plus, we have water saving devices fitted to the taps & toilets to help reduce flow & conserve water.

You'll be encouraged to be more mindful of your water & energy usage during your stay. Little things make a big, big difference such as closing windows if using the air con, taking a shower instead of a bath, switching off lights when not in your room, opting to re-use your towels & linen and taking only what is needed at meal times to avoid food waste - you can always come back for more if you're hungry!,

Retreat Dining.

We are blessed to have over 300 days of sunshine a year in this region of Spain & an abundance of underground water from the mountains. This means we have a year round supply of sun ripened, delicious fruits & veggies that we make good use of in our retreat menus that are predominantly plant based.

Our retreat venues have partnered with local farmers & producers to supply the vast majority of produce. Everything from fruits & veggies to eggs, cheese, olive oil, wines & bathroom toilettries.

People

Giving back:

By coming on our retreats not only do you help support local businesses & their staff, but you're helping us & our retreat venues to support local charities that help families & individuals through practical & financial support.

Organisations such as; Corazon Express who provide local families with food, practical & financial advice. The local Rotary Club & Red Cross both of whom provide humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable plus financial support to a local charity who retrieve plastic waste from the Mediterranean sea.
Local Culture:

We actively encourage guests to explore & immerse themselves into the Spanish way of life by dining at local restaurants & shops in their free time and to visit the markets where they find articles & gifts from local artisans. And, when there’s a local festival … everyone’s invited to get a taste of how the Spanish love to celebrate their culture with a fiesta!

Ultimately, through all our actions we aim to support local communities and leave a footprint that is as light as can be.
