”A paradise for the soul, mind and body! Difficult to describe with words the warmth and the serenity that this place brings! Even more beautiful than in the pictures! Thanks to the stunning nature and the wonderful staff!
Cozy, relaxed but very well organised at the same time!

I went on my own and ended up with a group of lovely women. Many travelled solo as I did! Warmly warmly recommended!”. ~ Camilla

For anybody whose summer was just a rumour, the grey skies and rain can bring on seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.)

Lack of light can sap serotonin levels and alter our brain chemistry, leading to anxiety and depression.

In a quick fix attempt to raise our spirits we might turn to Amazon, social media or the fridge… but there is a healthier way to get through the S.A.D. months ahead by booking yourself onto a Yoga and Hiking retreat.

Going for a long walk in the mountains is a full immersion in natural surroundings. Nature is the wellspring from where every human draws their strength.

Whether we know it consciously or not, everyone craves nature, for we have been gardening and farming open spaces ever since we were hunter-gatherers and that is where our deep spiritual connection began.

According to Sue Stuart-Smith, renowned psychotherapist and author of the Sunday Times best-seller The Well Gardened Mind, our ‘mirror neurons’ create an internal model of the sensory stimuli of our natural surroundings which balances the left and right hemisphere of the brain, causing it to slip into Alpha rhythms that stimulate the ‘rest and digest’ side of our nervous system, thus replenishing our breath, our body, our mind and our spirit.

Along with our award winning somatic and yin daily yoga classes and five star cuisine, all included, you will have two days of mountain hiking in flower meadows, oak trees, waterfall and breath taking views. Each walk is designed to inspire a sense of wonder and inner peace, with a delicious picnic at the end.

If you desire to walk more at Kaliyoga, on other days you are welcome to stroll along the local farm tracks, alone or accompanied by other guests, and enjoy groves of olive, lemon and eucalyptus, and a 90 minute hike through the heavenly silent valley.

Kaliyoga is located in the Biosphere Reserve of Las Alpujarras, a region with strong associations for seekers of health and wellbeing, named locally as Little Tibet after a Tibetan Mahayana Buddhist monastery that was founded here in 1982.

From Kaliyoga to the Alhambra Palace in Granada takes less than an hour by car and the nearest shops and cafés can be reached on foot in 10 mins in our local village.

Yoga Classes

Taught by our experienced yoga teacher, classes are tailored to individual needs. Each day offers a different theme and by the end you will have learned a safe, accessible practice to enjoy wherever you are.

Somatic Embodied Yoga
This is a powerful yet subtle practice that increases sensory awareness whilst releasing mental and physical tension. The experience makes you feel more connected, simply by noticing how the whole body and mind respond as you move through the different postures. Somatic yoga releases you from physical stagnation and old habits that no longer serve you, bringing you back into the flow of life.

More healing than exotic fitness stretching, somatic yoga strengthens the relationship between mind and body, improving your alignment, your mental focus and helping you to live in harmony with yourself and others.

As you focus on the sensations in your body moment by moment, self-judgement is replaced with a clearer, more compassionate perspective. This is different from everyday thinking – where you might be dwelling on old troubles or glories, or fast-forward to wishful future pleasures.

The more you sink into your body and bring awareness to your breath, the more your mind surrenders and becomes focused in the timeless present.

This practice of yoga literally re-minds you to live from a state of easy presence, tuning in to what is actually happening in the here and now.

By incorporating this practice into daily life, you will learn to listen to your heart, trust your body, love your mind, and gain higher levels of energy, clarity and balance.

Plant Based Food

All meals are plant based, sourced from local farms, cooked with love, nutritionally balanced.

Kaliyoga is famous for its delicious food, with guests ‘oohing and ahing’ at every meal. Lovingly prepared using local, organic and seasonal ingredients, our aim is to delight your eyes, palate and digestion with a wide variety of nutrient rich, plant based dishes to suit all tastes.

The kitchen is 100% gluten free and there are lactose free options. We welcome vegans, celiacs and lactose intolerant.
