About the Finca
This stunning venue is on the edge of the Cabo de Gata offering a peaceful setting with a spectacular mountain backdrop.
Almeria is Spain’s sunniest region and one of the least visited. The venue is on the edge of one of Europe’s most remote and beautiful natural parks, the Cabo de Gata, with a wonderful wild coastline. It’s an amazing landscape of perfect half-moon bays, hidden coves, bizarre volcanic rock formations and spectacular flora and fauna.
The charming local village of Nijar is within walking distance and can be seen across the valley at the foot of the spectacular mountain backdrop. Almeria airport is just half an hour away.
Retreat programme
There will be two yoga classes each day with Lisa in the fully equipped, spacious and airy yoga shala. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience. There will be one yoga free day and no yoga on travel days.
Each morning will begin with a yoga class of meditation and a flowing asana practice to gently open the body and attune the mind to the breath. The afternoon class will be a more restorative class to delve deeper into the postures.
There will be time set aside in the day to take in the stunning beauty of the surroundings, relax by the pool, head off to the beach or take a walk.
Lisa Powell has been teaching yoga since 2001 and fondly remembers the first time the magic of yoga touched her heart and has not looked back since. Lisa has been trained in many styles from flow to yin, yoga therapy to tantra. Lisa’s sessions are guided by the ancient teachings of yoga with a modern twist. Her retreats are always themed around a particular subject weaving intention setting, mudra, mantra, visualisation, asana, pranayama, meditation, relaxation and journalling to lead to a deeper connection within. Her morning sessions include enquiry, kriyas, cleansing breaths, slow flow yoga and strength building postures. Her evening sessions include pranayama, yoga nidra, yin yoga and meditation leading to a deeper release.
Needing to find time for yourself or understand the nature of your own mind? If the answer is yes join Lisa at one of the glorious YOAS holidays. Lisa’s aim for all her holidays is for her students to gain a deeper respect and understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Lisa is very inclusive, has no expectation of her students, is able to adapt to the needs of those that are new to yoga or those that are more advanced. Her go-to words are Kindness, Non-Judgement and Acceptance.
