The 2025 Course Programme

Sunshine and Self Care Yoga Retreat with Claire Miller and Kate Knowles
27 Sep - 04 Oct 2025

BOOKINGS NOW OPEN !

You are warmly invited to join us in southern Spain for a week of self care including yoga, relaxation, walking, delicious food, stunning surroundings and good company.

We are planning to include an optional kayaking trip on the coast of the Cabo de Gata nature reserve.

Kate and Claire ran their first retreat there in July 2024, and loved it so much that we are going back !

Yoga practice

Kate and Claire offer a variety of styles of yoga. Practice sessions will be offered throughout the week, with the themes being decided to go with the flow of how everyone is feeling each day.

The studio is well equipped with mats, bolsters, blocks, bricks, blankets and knee pads – everything we might need. Air conditioning and overhead ceiling fans are available on hot days.

We encourage you to join as many or as few yoga sessions as feels right for you !

Excursions

We will have the option of a trip to the local beach at Agua Amarga on Thursday, the chefs day off. This is a beautiful, unspoilt beach, with shallow access into the water, and shady areas. Additional fees will be applicable for transportation costs – about £40, and approximately £20 for our evening meal.

We are also planning an excursion to Cabo de Gata nature reserve, including a wildlife tour and sea kayaking trip – full details to be confirmed soon.

Relaxing surroundings

An essential element of a self care retreat is downtime. At least two yoga sessions will be offered everyday, but plenty of time will be scheduled in for rest and relaxation. Time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

There are two pools to choose from – a natural water pool, filtered by a reed bed, and a conventional chlorine based pool. Both have stunning views over the local area.

Nijar, the local village, is 25 mins walk away along a quiet road, with lovely cafes, ceramic shops and a cactus centre.

There is a peaceful library in the centre where you might like to curl up with a book.

Raffa, the finca manager, offers massages, reflexology and other therapies for approximately £40 – £50.

Your teachers

Kate & Claire are both experienced teachers, offering a variety of styles of yoga including hatha, dynamic, rocket, yin, menopause, restorative and yoga nidra for deep relaxation.

The retreat will include at least twice daily yoga practices, and occasional workshops.

Kate & Claire were at school together, so go back a long way !
