Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of retreat is this?
This is a luxury wellbeing retreat designed as a genuine reset — not just time away, but an experience that supports real, lasting change. The focus is on nervous-system regulation, embodied yoga practice, deep rest and spaciousness, all held within a beautifully crafted environment.
Epic nature abounds here, birdsong accompanies our meditation, and the air is fresh. On a hilltop surrounded by beautiful views, we stroll from yoga to meals to the pool and repeat…
Do I need to be experienced at yoga?
No. Practices are accessible, thoughtfully paced and adaptable. You don’t need to be flexible or advanced — just open, curious and willing to listen to your body.
What will a typical day look like?
There is a gentle rhythm to the days, with plenty of free time. Nothing is compulsory. You’re invited to engage in practices that nourish you, rest when you need to, and enjoy the land, pool and surroundings at your own pace.
Is this retreat suitable if I’m burnt out or overwhelmed?
Yes. Many guests come feeling tired, stretched or in transition. This retreat has been designed to feel safe, unhurried and supportive. Rest is respected, and there is no pressure to “do” more than feels right.
What optional activities are available?
Alongside yoga and somatic practices, there will be opportunities to:
Go horse riding in the Andalusian countryside
Massage Treatments
Enjoy scenic hikes through olive groves
Spend long, quiet afternoons by the pool
Join optional CPD or YTT-aligned sessions (for those interested)
All additional activities are optional and offered as invitations rather than expectations.
Is this retreat suitable for yoga teachers?
Yes. Teachers are very welcome. There will be optional CPD and YTT-aligned learning available for those who wish to deepen their understanding, without turning the retreat into a formal training.
Who is hosting the retreat?
The retreat is hosted by Bryony and Bex, both studio owners and professional space holders.
Bryony is a yoga therapist and senior teacher trainer with decades of experience leading retreats and trainings, known for her safe, intelligent and nervous-system-informed approach.
Bex is the founder of Optimum You and a professional events producer with over 25 years’ experience delivering festivals and large-scale corporate events. This is her first retreat, bringing with it exceptional organisation, logistics and calm behind-the-scenes leadership.
Together, they ensure the retreat is seamless, well-held and entirely chaos-free.
How many people will be on the retreat?
We’re keeping the group intentionally small, with a maximum of 16 guests. This allows for both a warm group dynamic and plenty of personal space.
Are flights included?
No, flights are not included. Full travel information and guidance is provided separately in our travel PDF once you enquire or book.
What if I’m unsure whether this retreat is right for me?
We’re happy to answer genuine questions and help you sense whether this retreat is a good fit. You’re very welcome to get in touch before booking.
What is the cancellation policy?
Due to venue commitments, retreat places are non-refundable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover illness or unforeseen circumstances.
