The Hacienda Retreat with Charlotte Watts - Enjoy a weeks yoga holiday in stunning Andalucian countryside
9th - 16th August 2014 
The Hacienda is the perfect space for a deeply restorative and peaceful Andalucían yoga retreat.
Restore mind, body and spirit with yoga, laughter and good living.
What you can expect from your yoga holiday...
Accommodation... a beautifully converted traditional farmstead in a stunning location high in the rolling Andalucían hills surrounded by century old olive trees and umbrella pine forest.
All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, private balconies and mountain views
Peace and tranquillity... amongst abundant birdlife and wildflowers, with impressive views of The Sierra Nevada in the distance
Delicious freshly prepared daily menu... using a selection of seasonal local produce to create a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes
Yoga... Deep, blissful invigorating yoga (two sessions a day) in the beautiful daylight studio or the light-dappled patio
Enjoy... A stunning infinity pool, wood burning sauna lodge, and 5 acres of woodland/olive groves
Optional... De-Stress Nutrition Talks with Charlotte
Your typical day:
Early morning: a light self-service breakfast to provide energy on waking
Morning yoga and meditation: opening and waking postures and reflection in the light airy yoga shala
After morning yoga: enjoy a delicious, wholesome and plentiful brunch inspired by Charlotte’s breakfast choices in The De-Stress Diet to encourage good energy, mood, recovery and freedom from cravings
Following a long leisurely brunch: your time is your own to do as you please. Trek the countless nature trails on horseback or foot, through olive groves, wheat fields and pine forests. Alternatively, stay poolside and let nature come to you - watch numerous birdlife swoop down to bathe in the cascade amongst the banana and palm trees or treat yourself to an on-site massage
Three days of the week: option of a silent group walk after brunch
Alternatively explore further afield: The friendly village of Montefrio, with it's striking setting, officially declared a Town of Historical and Artistic Interest in 1982, is only a 15 min drive away. And Granada and its world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Alhambra Palace (often referred to as ‘The eighth wonder of the world’) are less than an hours drive
Three days of the break: half an hour before afternoon yoga you have the option to attend a nutrition talk with Charlotte, each on a different topic and illustrating themes within her book The De-Stress Diet and the basis behind your food choices for the break
In the late afternoon: we get together again for yoga asana, meditation and mantra before enjoying an outstanding vegetarian dinner
Sleep well!
Two yoga classes as above will be taught every day except Wednesday 13th August, which afternoon will be left free for you to explore the delights of Andalucía, take a ‘tapas route’ pony trek, an evening moonlit ride, or just leave free to kick back and relax by the pool. There will be an optional late-night meditation on this day though.
