Lehrer
Amanda Dee
Amanda Dee is an E-RYT® 500, YACEP® with YA. She has been teaching yoga since 2003 in some of the best studios in NYC, USA, studying with famous teachers such as Lesley Kaminoff and Schuyler Grant. She leads worldwide trainings, workshops, and yoga retreats. In 2006, she opened her own successful yoga studio in Manhattan until she moved to the coast of Spain, where she opened ReAlign Yoga Studio. Prior to Yoga, Amanda gained her 2 year BTEC Diploma in Dance, UK, 1999.
Dr. Matthew Clark
Dr. Matthew Clark—SOAS research associate and international teacher of yoga philosophy—specializes in the roots of pranayama and meditation. Drawing on decades of study in India and his published work on sādhus and soma, he makes subtle-body ideas practical for modern practice and teaching.
Unai Mill
Unai quit his job as a successful lawyer a few years ago in Barcelona and decided to travel the world for a while. His six-month original plan turned into his plan for the future as he decided to combine his love for travel with his knowledge in organization, social media, and running a successful business. After a year living in New York City and having a deep contact with the yoga world, he started to realize how he could help yoga teachers in their business of yoga (which is a course he now teaches on yoga teacher training's and a service he offers to teachers around the world).
Fernando Dias
Fernando is a physical therapist and osteopath from Spain. Coming from the dance world he specialized in Pilates and water therapy, allowing him to work in the Spanish health system and the wellness world. During the last eight years, he has been immersed in yoga, which moved him to India, where he teaches anatomy and biomechanics in YTTCs. He currently lives in Denmark and is involved with Kopenhagen University and the University of León, Spain, working on health innovation and teaches biomechanics to health professionals to spread a wider knowledge of yoga and its benefits.
Iku Martinez
Japan is a very meditative environment to grow up in, so it made sense for Iku to be drawn to yoga from the beginning. She is a certified 200hr YTT with YA and a ReAlign Certified Teacher in biomechanics. After a great change in her life, she could not find her place, her mind was either in the past or future, but never in the present, on what was really important. Yoga created an essential change in her life, she keeps her daily practice helping her to feel balanced, filling her life with new beginnings and wonder, plus it keeps her young. She became a teacher to share this with others.
Athala Cochado
Athala who has always been an athlete, practicing many forms of sports and physical activities over her whole life. She discovered yoga over a decade ago. It captured her in a way no other sport had done before. This is a practice of not only the body but mind & spirit. It has helped her in the most difficult moments of her life. Practicing yoga is like having your own built-in psychologist & best friend, it involves continuous learning. The mat has become her home & her place of moving prayer & meditation. Athala is a registered 200hr YTT with YA & a certified ReAlign Teacher in biomechanics.

Absolutely fantastic
I loved everything about this retreat. The yoga teachers are excellent. Amanda in particular is exceptional and she helped me correct some positions that I always had been doing wrong. The trips are so worth it: you get to see the area where youbare staying and experience the mud baths and the beaches.
The yoga house is steps away from the sea and the rooms are very comfortable. There is plenty of very nice food for breakfast. And in town there are many options for a nice meal at night. Amanda and Unai take very good care of everyone, and for example when you go on the trips, Amanda will recommend great restaurants in the area where you are.
I am already thinking of returning.

Amazing ✨
Amanda and her husband Unai were absolutely amazing hosts! They were always ready to help with anything — quick, easy-going, and incredibly kind. The price-performance ratio was excellent, and the peaceful atmosphere in May made it the perfect place to truly relax and disconnect.
I also have to mention Amanda as an exceptional yoga teacher. She has an incredibly deep and well-founded understanding of the human body, which she shares with real passion. Her outstanding precision in guiding the asanas helped me find the correct posture and alignment in a way I had rarely experienced before. For me, she is truly one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever had.
That being said, all the other teachers were wonderful as well and brought a really beautiful variety to the experience. I will definitely come back :)

Recharging solo yoga retreat
As i booked very last minute i was glad of the flexible dates which made the trip possible. Board was b&b which was perfect and the facilities were super to cater for my other meals myself. The classes were really diverse and it was enjoyable to attend with local residents in their daily weekly classes. The range of instructors and style meant i learned alot at the retreat. My body and mind feel great. This retreat did exactly what i needed, it gave me a fresh perspective on my practice and my life and recharged me

Superb Yoga Retreat @ Sun Salute Retreats
Yoga with Amanda & her team is basically a master class. Time and care is taken to help you adjust and improve your positions and benefit from tuition. Classes are well guided, held in a lovely light airy studio and not intimidating. There’s a great range of classes including dynamic Vinyassa, Pilates, grounding hatha and deeply relaxing restorative. The team were all very welcoming and the whole experience was thoughtful and rewarding. The retreat package is superb value for money. The yoga house provides a spotlessly clean and comfortable base with good quality beds (v important!) The kitchen is well stocked with teas/fresh coffee/milk/ mineral water and a bottle of wine and lots of fresh fruit, eggs, cheese, meats, yogurt etc for breakfast. Supplies are regularly replenished. The location is perfect - a minute to the sea front, 2 minutes from the yoga studio and a short walk to cafes, bars and restaurants. Torre de Horadadas is lovely. Communication from Amanda & Unai was excellent. They connected with us via WhatsApp in advance of our trip and provided a detailed schedule which enabled us to attend all the yoga classes plus the additional private trips to the salt & mud baths. They also gave us lots of great tips on good places to eat and local events occurring during our visit. Honestly we can’t recommend this highly enough. Thank you Sun Salute Retreats - we will be back ! Clare, Julie & Helen.

Vanaf dag één voelde het als thuiskomen.
Ik heb echt een super fijne ervaring gehad met deze yoga retreat en voelde me vanaf het eerste moment welkom. Amanda, de eigenaresse van de studio, is echt een powerhouse,ze reageert snel, denkt mee en zorgt dat alles soepel verloopt. Je merkt aan alles dat ze professioneel is en haar zaakjes goed op orde heeft, maar tegelijk voelt het ook heel warm en persoonlijk.
Wat deze retreat voor mij extra bijzonder maakte, waren de yogalessen van Amanda zelf. Ik heb eerlijk gezegd nog niet eerder zóveel geleerd van yogalessen. Haar niveau is ontzettend hoog en professioneel, maar juist ook heel toegankelijk en laagdrempelig voor alle niveaus. Dat vond ik echt bijzonder. Ze legt alles rustig en duidelijk uit, met alle geduld & zorg, zonder oordeel, waardoor ik me op mijn gemak voelde.
Ook de andere yoga-instructeurs zijn van hoog niveau en geven met veel aandacht & rust les.
De B&B waar ik verbleef was precies goed. Geen overdreven luxe of groot vijfsterrenhotel, maar juist sfeervol, comfortabel en ontspannen. Het uitzicht op het strand maakte het helemaal af. Ik voelde me er echt thuis en kon volledig tot rust komen
Haar man Unai regelt de organisatie rondom het verblijf en dat merk je meteen.Hij reageert snel, is betrokken en zorgt ervoor dat alles achter de schermen soepel verloopt. Samen vormen Amanda en Unai echt een sterk en succesvol team dat met passie & zorg doet. En dit alles voor een betaalbare prijs. Ik ben opgeladen, ontspannen en geïnspireerd weer naar huis gegaan.

My private lesson with Amanda was the best of all. Amanda is the most amazing yoga teacher ever.
Having said that, the quality of all the teachers is outstanding. They are not just highly qualified, but very kind and nice. They give you options for your level.
The yoga studio is great too. They have all you need, the environment is loving, friendly and easy.
Amanda and Unai are very kind and amazing hosts. They are full of great suggestions.
The walks are beautiful, which makes the retreat even better.

Lovely organisers and instructors
Amanda and Unai were excellent hosts, very warm and welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. They really put us at ease being novice level. Both provided fantastic local knowledge with recommendations for food and places to visit too. I cannot recommend this retreat enough. I am already seriously considering booking another retreat for next year! 😊
We were b&b guests and stayed in the flat above the studio which was perfect for us. The place was spotlessly clean, and there was a lot of food and drink provided. The balcony overlooking the park was lovely and all just 2 mins from the sea. What more could you ask for? Bliss! 🥰
Our yoga and pilates instructors throughout our stay were patient, compassionate and kind (I often ended up in the wrong position or facing the wrong way, my fault, not theirs! Each time I went wrong they helped me gently reposition). The school itself was kept scruplously clean and tidy and was a calm relaxed environment.
A big thank you to Amanda, Unai and all our instructors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 🤩

Wish I was still there!!
Highly recommend this retreat, everything about it was excellent, Unai & Amanda are the perfect hosts, extremely helpful and informative without ever being intrusive. If you are looking for a retreat which allows you to choose how to spend your time then this is perfect. Nothing was forced you could do as much or as little as you choose of the activities
There is a great variety of classes available at the studio which is only a 2 minute walk from the house. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and we learned so much from her.
The house itself is in a great location just across from the beach and was spotless with everything you need for your stay and plenty of food for breakfast.
We loved our trip to the spa and the beautiful coastal walks. Amanda gave us loads of information before hand so it was no problem finding our way and she also gave us lots of suggestions of places to eat and drink along the way. The town itself is quiet but still plenty of restaurants and cafes and there is a lovely bakery around the corner. Beach is lovely and clean.
All in all it was an amazing experience with just the right balance of classes, walks and time to just walk by the sea and relax. Can’t wait to go back ☺️

I really enjoyed this yoga retreat.Being there in the end of March it was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for relaxing and recharging. The instructors and specially Amanda were really good, knowledgeable and supportive. It was a good balance between organized activities and free time. The hosts were kind and very helpfull.
I would definitely recommend.

Overall disappointing experience
The quality of the yoga and Pilates classes was mainly good and a good variety was offered. The classes provided alignment guidance and helpful adjustments. The location itself is also convenient, as it is not far from the beach (although there was no good view from the room).
I wish the organizer all the best and hope she finds the calmness and ease that are essential for offering an authentic yoga experience.
I sincerely hope that similar experiences can be avoided for future guests.

The place is absolutely lovely, so are the classes and activities. If you are looking for a retreat that gives you the freedom of creating your own schedule by chosing from a studio's schedule that is only 3min walking from your place - look no further! The instructors and hosts are super friendly and knowledgeable and the place is super lovely, clean and close to beautiful beaches.

Amazing experience right at the beach
Overall experience was really great. The yoga class were varied and adapted to our levels. The teachers were really attentive and guided insightful classes. My mom was firstly bit hesitant to join me on the retreat as she is newer to yoga, but she ended going to all classes.
Amanda is a very detail-oriented and charming host. It shows through the whole retreat. We really appreciated the location close to the stunning beaches and the salina area. We would consider coming back again.

Self- retreat with Amanda
I joined this retreat on my own and had such a wonderful experience. What I loved most were the lessons: well-structured, inspiring, and taught by yoga teachers who were not only highly professional but also genuinely friendly and welcoming. I felt supported and at ease from the very beginning.
The walks along the beaches were absolutely stunning. I went during winter, with clouds and colder temperatures, and it was still incredibly beautiful and peaceful. It honestly made me imagine how breathtaking it must be in warmer weather, with sunshine and long days.
The location is another big plus — the studio is literally a 2–3 minute walk away, and the sea is even closer. Everything felt easy, calm, and perfectly placed for a retreat experience.
I left feeling grounded, refreshed, and very grateful for the experience. I would absolutely recommend it, whether you’re coming on your own or with others.

December yoga retreat
The quality of the instructors was brilliant and they were all friendly and helpful. There is a timetable of classes to choose from and each one that I practiced was different, enjoyable and challenging. The location of the accommodation is excellent, right by the beach with amazing sun rises. The fridge and pantry were kept well stocked with lots of options for breakfast. I was kept informed of activities to participate in, by Amanda via WhatsApp, (walks, mud baths, bike hire, routes to take, restaurants to try). The evening visit to the thermal spa was excellent, plenty of hot and cold water options plus jacuzzis and saunas.

Amazing holidayas at Realign yoga retreat!!
It is hard to come up with the best thing about the retreat, but after this week, we felt full of new motivation for yoga practice and for exercising in general; our bodies felt 100 % better, and we were leaving Spain with lots of lovely memories from various trips. The hosts were taking great care of us, ensuring we had everything and providing us with tips for the trips and different activities. The yoga studio is very cosy and all the teachers are fantastic and very knowledgeable! Torre de la Horadada will always stay in our hearts, and we will come again! Thank you for everything."

5 day retreat review
The location of the house is excellent, only 20 metres from the beach, but it is also a little remote. So lovely and quiet if that is what you are looking for. The two trips to the spa and salt lakes were also lovely.
Amanda is possibly the best yoga teacher I ever trained with. Will go again and sign up for 121 session.

I had a great retreat experience in this small village! The yoga house itself was lovely – clean, with cozy rooms and a nice breakfast provided each morning. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the daily program was perfectly balanced between activity and relaxation. Amanda is an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable instructor – her way of guiding both yoga and Pilates made it easy for me as a beginner to follow along while still feeling challenged. Would recommend!

Great yoga and pilates in a beautiful location
The quality and variety of the classes was fantastic. Every instructor was great and we appreciated being able to do a range of activities each day. On one day it was possible to do up to 5 classes (we managed 4!) - it felt really good. The location is lovely- peaceful, chilled and close to beautiful beaches.

This getaway exceeded my expectations
I can’t recommend this retreat enough! Amanda and her husband Unai are excellent organisers, they were really accommodating, they gave great recommendations and ensured everything ran smoothly.
The town of Torre de la Horadada is so charming and just the right size for a five day stay. The beaches are clean and the whole area feels authentic and not overly touristy. The day trips were fab too and well thought out.
When it comes to yoga, Amanda is the real deal - she is the best yoga and Pilates instructor I’ve had. She really understands the body due to her biomechanics background and has converted me to Pilates - something I previously didn’t enjoy. She is also a lovely person and it was a joy to meet her!
Overall, I can’t recommend this retreat enough. It was the perfect getaway and it exceeded my expectations. I’m returning home feeling refreshed and with a brighter perspective. Thank you so much Amanda and Unai, I hope to do the retreat again soon!

Amazing Yoga Retreat
Nestled in a peaceful location, the retreat offered the perfect escape from daily stresses. Each day was thoughtfully structured with a beautiful balance of movement, mindfulness, rest, and reflection. The yoga sessions were energising yet grounding.
Amanda was the heart and soul of this retreat. Her teaching style was both calming and empowering, blending deep knowledge of yoga philosophy with a great sense of what each person needed. She created an inclusive environment that welcomed every level of experience from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners.
The day trips were incredibly well organised. They gave us a fantastic sense of the local area, culture, and hidden gems. From scenic hikes to charming villages and peaceful coastal spots, each outing felt purposeful and added depth to the retreat experience. It really helped that the itinerary struck a perfect balance between exploration and relaxation.
We were also supplied with endless food reviews and recommendations, which became a bit of a fun mission we visited the majority of them! From local cafes to tucked away restaurants, every meal we tried was a joy, and it was great to have guidance that felt curated and reliable.

It gave me everything I was looking for, first of all quietness, away from noise of a big city, the room was spacious and to having the view to the sea was a real bless, also I had the flexibility to choose the classes (which were amazing) and I had the option to go for suggested activities. Amanda is a lovely person, super helpful and provided guidance throughout the stay. If I could, I would definitely stay more days. Thank you very much for giving us such a great experience. :-)

The yoga classes were hardworking but really powerful. The teachers help us to align in the correct way by touching us but also only by speaking and explaining the feelings that we should have in the positions. This is what I liked the most.

The location was amazing, so peaceful with access to several great beaches. The beaches were the most beautiful and clean ones I've ever experienced. The yoga courses were all great. Amanda is such a great teacher. She is so knowledgeable and goes through all the details and corrects you whenever needed. Amanda and Unai were really helpful hosts in general trying to take care of all our needs. The house was also spacious with great access and lots of facilities for our comfort.

Yoga Retreat in March
I have a new experience with yoga and Pilates. I went to yoga in my country, but the style of conducting sessions is different. Much more immersive and valuable, like rutual. The accommodations were right next to the sea, with a view of the sea from my balcony. The room and house were clean and fresh. The products for breakfast were fresh and sufficient for everyone. I am very satisfied with the week there.

An amazing experience :)
I would absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone! They had two or three classes each day of my stay and they were optional. They were very flexible, I don’t do too much yoga at home so being able to just do one class each day was great for me. The location was just a short walk from the beach and many restaurants to choose from. There was a bike hire close by which allowed me to go on a bike ride. I stayed in the apartment above the yoga studio and it was very clean and well equipped with everything I needed and had a lovely balcony to sit on. The hosts themselves, Amanda and Unai were absolutely amazing, very communicative, organised and helpful throughout the whole stay. I wish I had stayed longer! Overall an amazing experience for my first solo trip.

Recharging under the Spanish sun
I echo all the previous positive reviews.
Teachers were all very kind, nice and professional, each with their own style. Amanda has obviously vast experience in teaching, paying attention to each one and has ample knowledge ensuring no injuries with the movements; Emma, professional too, just knows how to keep you motivated and feel good after a ‘tough’ round; Ionna’s class was truly relaxing; Athala kept an eye ensuring ‘the foreigners’ are following well and correcting as necessary despite a full class.
You can take as many classes or not as you like and they are varied. I ‘bootcamped’ myself doing 2 classes/day knowing this is my chance and probably won’t do anything for a while again back home.
Both Amanda and Unai were amazing in providing all the support from pre-journey to during the stay and till you make your way home. Suggestions where to eat, to cycle, to walk, which beach; quick in responding to messages. You feel all the freedom with support readily available.
The Thalassotherapy and Nature reserve area visit included in the program was great.
They have bike rental at €15/d, excellent for a scenic sunrise bike ride along the coast to Mil Palmeras followed by back south again to visit two quaint local museums in San Pedro del Pinatar and San Javier and cycling along the coast from Santiago de la Ribeira to have lunch at the Marina of las Salinas.
Torre de la Horadada itself is nice and quiet yet with restaurants and supermarket. Truly a place to recharge.

An excellent week with Yoga Realign
I had a wonderful solo trip to Torre de la Horadada. The beach house was spotless and a 2 minute walk from the yoga studio. All yoga and pilates classes were thoroughly enjoyable and had lots of modifications to suit everyones practice. I don't speak Spanish but had no problem in any classes as they were all mixed. I would highly recommend this retreat alone or with others. The hikes were great too, I particularly enjoyed the long walk from the beach house to La Zenia.

Wonderful Learning Experience
Amanda is an excellent yoga teacher. Even just for 5 days attending her classes, I have already improved physically. I had foot surgery a few years ago, which impacted my overall balance and strength. I exercise regularly, but always felt lack of precision. Amanda’s knowledge of how body and muscles work helped me greatly. This is my first yoga retreat. This experience surely confirmed my interest of attending more yoga retreats in the future. I’ve always been a world traveler and have been to many wonderful places around the world. Yoga retreat is a great way to combine wellness with traveling the world and meeting people with similar mindsets.

Wonderful yoga retreat
I really enjoyed the classes, Amanda is clearly very experienced, she has great attention to details and is very diligent in ensuring your form is correct, which given there is a full class is amazing. It really makes a huge difference and ensures you don't get injured.
The yoga house was a decent size with dinning table, full kitchen and living room.
It was clean and well stocked with breakfast items.
The beds were comfortable and the location is ideally situated close to the beach.
The trips included in the package were a nice add on, the natural mud was fun and the spa was just what we needed after a few days of yoga and pilates.
Amanda also went out of her way to recommend restaurants, which meant we had some wonderful meals posy our classes. So very much appreciated.

De locate is heel fijn, zo dichtbij de zee en verder is bijna alles op loopafstand. Je kunt zoveel verschillende soorten klasjes doen. Van een super relaxte avond klas, tot een intensief yoga-pilates klasje. Verder geft Amanda je super veel tips voor dingen die je kunt doen in de omgeving, maar ook restaurant tips en andere handige tips. Ik heb een hele fijne tijd gehad en zou dit zeker nog eens doen!

Top retreat voor vriendelijk budget
Zeer bekwame yoga/pilates docenten. Amanda helpt je met het aannemen van de juiste positie en ziet direct welke aanpassing voor jou nodig is. Naast yoga veel ruimte om zelf te bepalen wat je wil gaan doen. Locatie is perfect dichtbij
strand en voldoende (budgetvriendelijke) restaurants in nabije omgeving.

The place is close to the sea, everything is well organized, it is good to have a structure, then you have plenty of time and freedom to adjust the schedule to your needs and goals. I had a blast, Amanda is very technical and her classes are well structured, she is such an inspiration.

Loved this Yoga Retreat!
I really enjoyed this retreat, it’s super flexible if you are looking to relax or get a good workout! The classes were amazing, I was new to yoga so loved being able to try a good mix. Amanda and the team are incredibly knowledgeable, I really enjoyed their way of teaching. The town is super lovely with beautiful beaches!

A fantastic Yoga retreat experience!
Amanda is a wonderful teacher, providing a good deal of correction and modification as necessary and very welcome. She has a vast knowledge of body bio-mechanics and ensures students learn safe ways to practice. The yoga house was very comfortable and the surrounding area was lovely and relaxing. The swimming is fantastic! Adding Pilates was a fabulous addition and the styles of yoga were varied allowing for a very comprehensive experience along with additional teachers. SunSaluteRetreats has built a lovely community there. I highly recommend going to one of their retreats!

All the teaches were excellent and Unai was really helpful
You get to know all Yoga styles to see which class fits you the most for the future. Especially Amanda was great, the way how she explained on how everything is connected and correcting the posture. Definetly can recommend this place.

Yoga and Beach
This yoga retreat exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for quality yoga instruction in a friendly town, meeting locals in the classes. Also relaxing during the day at the beach and going for walks.. This is exactly what I got, if not better than I imagined. Amanda is a fantastic yoga teacher, I really benefited from her biomechanics instruction.
The house is really conveniently located close to the beaches and by the prom. Also only a short walk to all the local restaurants. The house itself is lovely, I had a very spacious room with terrace. Breakfast is self catered, Amanda and Unai keep the fridge stocked with the regular staples of fruit, ham, cheese, eggs etc along with bread, cereals, tea,coffee, juice.
Yoga students come and go on various days, I was very lucky to meet some wonderful people during my stay.
If you are looking for a yoga holiday where you experience Spanish culture and practise excellent yoga instruction, then this is the retreat for you.

Excellent yoga experience
I recently attended a yoga retreat and had an excellent experience, both in terms of the lessons and the accommodation. Amanda, our instructor, is a phenomenal teacher. Her guidance and expertise made each session enriching and transformative. The accommodations were good as well. After this experience, I feel much better physically and mentally. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and rejuvenate their spirit.

The perfect place for Sun, Sea and Yoga
From the moment we arrived at the house we felt relaxed, we were met by Unai who checked us into the room, which was on the top floor, the room was beautiful, had a great balcony that overlooked the sea, and it was very clean, fresh and modern. He explained that breakfast would be delivered every day which would be fresh eggs, breads, cakes and juices. You make your own breakfast in the kitchen. There was also a constant supply of bottled water available in the house and a pantry which had lots of other useful items that we could use. Every day there was an optional trip that was organised like visiting the natural mud beach and a local spa which were great experiences. Yoga was available every day both morning an evening session and varied in style which was also great to experience. We were supplied all the itinerary and class times prior to arriving. The studio is just a few minutes’ walk from the accommodation.
The local area was quiet the end of May when we were there which suited us as we had time to relax. There are still plenty of local restaurants withing a 10-minute walk with lots of choice on local and international food, you can also just get a drink at any of the restaurants either by the beach or in the local square and there is a fantastic seafood restaurant just a couple of minutes’ walk away from the house, where the food is amazing.
The beaches are clean, and the sea is crystal clear, I went swimming in the sea most mornings. Highly recommended.

Amazing retreat !
That was my first yoga retreat and I truly enjoyed it ! The retreat takes place in a small town by the sea, it is so peaceful and quiet but also has great restaurants and small shops so you can get everything you need. The classes are amazing, all teachers are great. I loved the classes with Amanda and her approach making sure all poses were done correctly and protecting your body. The activities are also very fun and everything is well organised, communication is very good. I feel so relaxed after the retreat and can only recommend to anyone looking to take a few days off and focus on wellbeing.

Fantastic experience
This was my first time doing a yoga retreat and my experience was thoroughly positive. The arrival was totally well coordinated by the host as we were able to share a taxi from the airport with another participant, the check-in was totally uncomplicated and the whole experience was really pleasant. I particularly liked the flexibility and the fact that you are not forced to take part in the two daily pilates/yoga courses. The activities (mud bath and spa) organised by the host also provided variety. There are beautiful beaches and good restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The accommodation was clean and had all the essentials.
Thank you very much Amanda and Unai for the fantastic coordination and proactive communication. It was a great first experience and I would recommend the retreat to anyone.

We really enjoyed our yoga & hikes holiday
We loved the yoga house - our room had a lovely balcony & it was great to meet the other folk staying there. The house was very convenient for the yoga studio. Amanda & Unai were very welcoming and helpful. The yoga + Pilates classes were great. Amanda was especially helpful during her classes - she showed us how to do the yoga positions to the best of our abilities. The hikes were interesting & fun. The town was pretty & had lovely beaches & a good selection of restaurants

Great yoga retreat with Sun Salute
Quality of the classes, high level and precise training with Amanda and her teachers, who correct your position for the best of the experience.Nice studio very close to the yoga house.The place is very quiet, with sand beaches all along the coast. Amanda and Unai take very good care of students and provide useful recommendations for hikes and visits around. More activity can be found in nearby cities. I would definitely go back!

Beautiful place and a fabulous retreat
The location and accommodation was superb - peaceful and relaxing yet only a short walk from everything you could need. The classes were amazing - all of the instructors were top quality and catered to all abilities . I loved the fact they all took the time to help each student individually, ensuring everyone got the most out of every class. Amanda in particular is incredible- her approach using Biomechanics is unique and has really made me think about my posture and body both during yoga and at home. I got so much from the course and can’t wait to go back

Great Yoga Holiday!
Amanda is a fantastic yoga/pilates teacher correcting your technique and explaining theory behind different poses, I wish I could go to her classes all the time. The town of pilar de horadada is incredibly cute with great restaurants and delicious icecream. The hosts (Amanda & Unai) are incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, assisting with maps, recommendations and dropping you off at activities. I met some fabulous people on this trip and I hope you will too.

We had a wonderful time at Sun Salute Retreats. Amanda is an amazing instructor- a true professional and Unai is super helpful and always on hand to help you. The Yoga House is large and very comfortable and it’s so great to hang out with lovely women from all over the world. The location was a big surprise for me.. The beaches and towns and villages along the way are beautiful and so authentically Spanish and the food…😋 Definitely would recommend this retreat.

Just what I needed!
I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never been on a yoga holiday before, and as a middle-aged woman who mainly practices yoga at home, I was a tad apprehensive that I may find the classes a bit daunting. But I had the BEST time. The classes challenged me (gluts!), but Amanda and Emma are excellent teachers; the classes are welcoming, with a mixture of people staying at the yoga house (which was clean, bright, and very comfortable) and local people, Spanish and Expats, just an all-round good vibe. I've made new friends, have a newfound passion for yoga and feel great! Highly recommend and would return.

Regenerative and Inspiring 5 Days
The retreats are well organized, and Amanda and Unai are very helpful and extremely attentive to the needs of retreat participants. The retreat accommodation is perfectly located for the activities planned, and the nearby studio offers a variety of yoga courses and styles with very skilled instructors.
I found Amanda's focus on biomechanics very helpful in understanding what I need to focus on when continuing with yoga; as well, it inspired me to continue with yoga. I also found Athala's various courses extremely beneficial, and her style of instruction was also very inspiring for me to continue with yoga afterwards.
I came away from this retreat rejuvenated (albeit with many a sore muscle :)) and inspired to continue with yoga and to learn more about biomechanics.
I definitely recommend this retreat to anyone and everyone who would like to focus on yoga and pilates (and long coastal walks) to benefit physical and mental well-being in a positive environment in a peaceful location.

Wonderful experience, highly recommended
This was my first yoga retreat and I'm so happy I've chosen this one! All instructors and people helping to run the retreat are super nice. All participants followed their own programmes but the organises made sure we all were looked after. They helped with transportation from and to the airport, gave lifts when needed. The fridge was always full of fresh produce. they were always on the other end of the phone with suggestions what to do. The quality of yoga / Pilates teaching is really high. I was very impressed and very grateful for them helping to make my body work in the best way :) The location is perfect too - right by the sea, not too crowded with lovely coastal walks and good restaurants around. Thank you for a fabulous few days.

Also very possible for me as a yoga beginner. You can feel the change in your body after these days. I will definitely book it again in the future. Thanks for this amazing experience!

Amazing retreat!
I can’t speak highly enough about this retreat. Unai and Amanda are fantastic and made it such a lovely experience. The classes were great and there was a lovely mix of yoga and pilates. Amanda is incredible and her knowledge of biomechanics made this a really unique experience and helped me so much. The accommodation was beautiful and so close to the beach. The self catering and laundry facilities were fantastic as I was doing a long trip. The area was gorgeous with plenty of walks, nice restaurants and beaches. The trips were lovely and nicely timed so there was a good balance of free time and organised activities. You are free to take as many or few of the classes as you like so you can make the retreat as relaxing or active as you want. I absolutely loved it and hope to go back. Thank you Amanda and Unai!

The yoga house was set in a lovely location right by the sea.
The studio was a 5 minute walk away which made attending classes so easy - it was so nice to feel like part of the local community as the yoga classes are open to people on a retreat and people who live locally.
The hosts Amanda and Unai were so welcoming and friendly and provided an optional itinery outside of the yoga classes to make the experience really special - beautiful coastal walks and lovely restaurant suggestions.
I will be coming back again!

Excellent location, excellent facilities, excellent yoga
Unai and Amanda were great hosts and gave us great tips about the local area, restaurants etc. Yoga was very challenging which is good. Amanda is the best Yoga instructor I've met by far since I started practising Yoga. Villa is very close to the beach. Weather was perfect for November, 20-24 degrees in daylight, cool in the evenings. Was always with very clear blue skies, no rains during our stay. Breath taking views of sunrise and sunset in the area. I also liked the SPA day, facilities was good and the massage was really relaxing at the hotel arranged. Thanks for great times Amanda & Unai :)

Lovely retreat, great for a winter getaway
Unai and Amanda were very hospitable and gave us great recommendations in the local area so that we could thoroughly enjoy our trip. The accommodation is very close to the beach and I could see the sunrise and sunset from the terrace which was so beautiful. The yoga classes were very challenging and Amanda is so knowledgeable and gave me good tips on how to improve my yoga practice. I would highly recommend this retreat - it’s a hidden gem in the south of Spain that is a great spot during the colder seasons.

Amazing experience
I enjoyed the yoga week and would 100% recommend it to everyone. Amanda and her girls are highly professional yoga teachers and very kind people. The amount of classes per day can be up to 4 during the week, which is intense, but I would recommend to follow them all since each class can be at different level and each teacher have a personal approach. Throughout the week I could see a real transformation in my yoga technique and body plasticity.
The yoga house is perfect, has everything you would need, the fridge is always full, the spaces are always clean, the location is very close to the beach. Amanda and Unai took real good care of me. I am very thankful for this experience 😊

First yoga retreat and great experience
Both Amanda and Unai were very helpful from the start and very easy to talk to. I liked the mix of Yoga and Pilates, trying out different levels and different instructors. Amanda is very knowledgeable and helped me with corrections which was very useful for someone new to Yoga like me. I had a lovely room with sea views and saw a gorgeous sunrise a few times. The schedule for the week was “nice busy” - classes, 2 trips, a massage and free time for beach walks and relaxation. The fish at the restaurant recommended by Amanda was delicious! I met also lots of new people both at the house and at the Yoga studio which gave me a lot of confidence and added to the communal feel.

Challenging Yoga in a Welcoming Space
The yoga house, located in the beautiful town of Torre de la Horadada, was easy to get to. Accommodations were spot-on: spacious, well-located, and immaculate. There are many friendly restaurants around and the neighborhood is tranquil. The sounds of the beach lulls you to sleep and you wake up to the sweet chirping of birds.
Amanda's yoga classes were travel-worthy. Her explanations, corrections, and vast knowledge placed me in an injury-free environment. I was glad I had brought my own mat, so I could fully immerse myself.
The activities were plentiful and I particularly enjoyed the result of silky skin after the mud bath. There is a little Tapas bar on the boardwalk, where you can relax after you rinse off.
Overall, one can't miss by visiting Spain. And this retreat's location is an eye-opener on the lesser known places in Spain. The price of this retreat is reflective of the lower restaurant prices in the area, opposed to a city like Barcelona.
Don't hesitate to book this retreat. You will be afforded the maximum options with maximum flexibility.
Lee Rimmer
aus Vereinigtes Königreich, September 2023
Overall a fantastic flexible package
The flexibility to take advantage of a variety of yoga classes as well as great extra activities - or just to relax by the beach. Variety is the spice of life! Unai and Amanda have planned the package to mean that everyone can have the experience they want to have.
My wife and I are beginners and wanted more time exploring and relaxing than the rest of the group - and this wasn't an issue at all. Yet the quality of the teaching and classes was clearly very high - and it was obvious that those wanting more advanced improvements in their yoga were also getting what they wanted.
The house is very spacious and clean and very close to all amenities you need - including a couple of nice beaches.
Great job guys 👍

I was blown away by the location the house is situated in a peaceful area minutes to the beach with some stunning sea views from parts of the house - perfect to unwind. The rooms are super clean, spacious and airy. Service from Amanda & Unai was 10 out of 10! From arranging transport to giving us the best recommendations - they thought of everything and really went above and beyond! Amanda is the best and most knowledgable yoga teacher I’ve come across, I learnt so much in just 5 days. The extra activities are fantastic I loved the natural mud baths but if you’re tired or don’t feel like it you can always opt out - it’s super flexible. Ha sido un placer chicos gracias Unai y Amanda por todo!

Great experience with very knowledgeable yoga teachers
The house was clean and there was sweet and savoury food provided for breakfast. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, they provide everything you need and have activities scheduled for everyday (for which they arrange the drop-off and pick-up).
The yoga classes are totally worth it. The levels range from beginner to advanced, there are 2-3 classes per day and they last 1 to 1,5 h so it is totally up to the students to decide which classes to follow and when depending on their schedule and level. I followed almost all of the classes and could really learn a lot, especially from Amanda who is a great teacher, paying attention to each student's particular needs.
Highly recommended if you are looking to improve your yoga practice or challenge yourselves!

Super courte retraite et belle découverte
Les cours proposés par le Studio sont de très haute qualité. Vous remarquez directement que les professeurs ont une grande connaissance et de l'expérience. En prenant part à la retraite vous pouvez choisir vous même les cours auxquels vous souhaitez participer. Possibilité de faire un cours par jour ou 2 ou 3. C'est à choix suivant l'intensité souhaitée.
Chaque professeure amène sa petite touche personnelle aux cours. Bénéficiant de peu d'exprience en yoga, elles étaient toujours très présentes pour me donner des conseils utiles et des explications.
Le logement (maison) est super, à deux pas du studio, de la plage ( vue mer selon la chambre) et du centre de Torre de la Horadada et les deux excursions inclues dans le programme très sympas. Grand choix de produits à la maison pour le petit-déjeuner/ brunch ce qui est très appréciable. Enfin, Unai et Amanda sont aux petits soins et très disponibles si besoin :) Je recommande vivement cette retraite que j'ai beaucoup aimée !

I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 day yoga retreat. The hospitality from both Unai and Amanda was so heartwarming. The yoga house were I stayed was such a peaceful and lovely home with sea views. The breakfast was so plentiful and Unai would kindly top up the food supply.
I found the yoga with sound bath so relaxing. I would definitely recommend booking in for a reflexology session which was just so so wonderful.
I found the spa bath excursion so relaxing. After the retreat I went solo travelling, Unai was so kind and helpful in recommending places for me to visit and gave me a lift to the bus station. I will definitely be booking this retreat again. I loved it 😍

5 days with Unai, Amanda and the team. Days of yoga, pilates, meditation and hiking. The package was extremely well organised throughout and everybody was so friendly and helpful. Great location with good weather although a little quiet at this time of the year. The Yoga House was lovely, nicely located near to the studio, beach and a short walk to everything else. Thank you for looking after me, I came home relaxed and happy.

Yoga, hiking retreat
Even before we arrived it was clear that Amanda
and Unai were going to be grreat hosts, from arranging our airport transfer to updating us via WhatsApp it seemed that nothing was too much trouble. From the moment we stepped into the yoga house we felt we had struck gold. The house is well appointed and beautifully clean. There is a well stocked larder and fridge to help yourself from and a text service if you run out of anything. A huge bowl of fresh fruit was also provided. The room I had has a sea view and I could watch the sunrise from it. We had a shared balcony we could sit out on, it helped that the weather was also perfect. The yoga, pilates and barre timetable has up to 4 classes a day and you can attend as many as you like. Amanda is by far the best yoga instructor I have ever had in all my years of practice. And the first to use biomechanics to ensure that her students have improved postures and minimise injury. After 5 days I feel much stronger and my practice has definitely improved. The included hikes, massage and thermal spa along with unlimited classes, food, lifts to the walks and knowing our hosts were always available should we need them made this incredible value for money. I am already planning my next visit. I almost want to keep this gem of a retreat secret so I can guarantee my room being free, however I strongly feel that everyone needs to spend some time here. Great location, beaches and tapas make this place truly good for the soul.

What a lovely Yoga / Pilate retreat
I loved all the teachers and especial thanks to Amanda for providing so many tips and feedback on the moves and postures. She helped me to correct a few things in my body posture while doing the yoga moves and get out of old habits. Also the sequences were lovely and refreshing. I enjoyed Iku's sessions a lot too. She is full of energy and innovate moves. Emma's Yin classes are calming and relaxing and at the same time requires concentration and focus. The spa session was wonderful and worked well during my wet and cold stay in January.
I liked the location of the house; it is only 1 minute walk from the sea front and the coastal path. There are so many walks nearby and if you enjoy walking you can get to a lovely bird reserve and back (~12k) in 3 hours. There are so many migratory and non-migratory birds in that area. I was very lucky to have two other professional housemates and the house was kept quiet and clean. We got on very well despite being total strangers at the start and as time went by we enjoyed going for walks and having conversations about conventional issues.
And especial thanks should go to Unai who is superb in answering enquiries via WhatsApp, resolving little issues in the house such as gas and breakfast supply in the house and providing general guidance on walks, supermarkets, restaurants, booking taxis etc. swiftly. He is a real star.

Amazing Time - Amazing Yoga
From the 1st message before booking, until I landed back home, Amanda & Unaì have been very kind & thoughtful, providing any tiny bit of information needed to enjoy a restful & enjoyable stay.
I really liked the format of this retreat as you stay free to do whatever you want without being obliged to follow a strict program, as you are enrolled in all the different classes available all week long, mostly morning & late afternoon, which gives you plenty of free time in between to enjoy the surroundings.
The house is clean, nothing is missing in the kitchen, & is well located literally 1 minute from the sea. You're in the middle of town so you can walk around easily & the main beaches are only 1km away (they will provide you with the top locations & nice things to do around).
The yoga sessions were incredible. You can really feel that Amanda is passionate & extremely knowledgeable about yoga & how it impacts your body.
The explanations of the poses & each movement were amazing & whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced yogi, you will learn & enjoy the classes. She also taught the other teachers through the yoga teacher course & you can see that each of them is very thorough in providing great explanations & making sure you enjoy your time while bringing their own personality & touch to the classes they teach.
A massive thank you to Lucy for her openness & availability, to Iku for the extra time spent explaining poses, & Amanda & Unaì for everything. I'll be back!

This was one of my most enjoyable and fulfilling holidays I’ve had, and it was down to the wonderful people and the fantastic arrangements.
When it came to booking, Unai made sure everything was covered and the arrangements were flawless, he made sure we were looked after for the whole stay which was a week.
I’m a yoga newbie and was Initially nervous as I didn’t know what to expect. However that changed in the classes. Even before the classes Amanda and Unai were keeping us updated with what’s going on in the local area and places to visit. That was really helpful
All the instructors were amazing, I can’t speak highly enough of them. They made sure the newbies knew what they were doing but also making sure the more advanced students were challenge.
You could feel the genuine passion they all had for yoga.
Amanda had organised trips around the area including a spa visit and a nature reserve visit. Both were awesome. Both Amanda and Unai made sure we were well looked after.
I’ve already recommended this retreat to friends and family and will be booking another trip later this year myself.
Because Amanda and the team care so much about yoga and making people comfortable. It reflects in the service and the overall vibe which was friendly and welcoming.
This was a truly amazing experience and I’m glad I booked it.
Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, this retreat covers all levels.
Thanks so much for an awesome and inspiring week!!!

Down to Earth yoga retreat in beautiful location
The accommodation is right by the sea, it was so wonderful to wake up to beachside views and blue sky in January!
The yoga instruction was second to none, Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and paid real attention to my individual needs.
Emma provided a more restful, spiritual practice which I hugely enjoyed .
Unai is always available to answer questions and offer support.
Amanda and Unai are so very friendly.

Good yoga classes, nice and sunny
This retreat offers high quality, technical yoga classes and a lot of freedom inbetween. Torre de la Horadada is situated in one of the warmest areas of Spain so you can expect sunny, clear days. Amanda, Iku and Renée were all great teachers. Amanda has incredible knowledge about the body and the intricacies of movement. This retreat is a great way to work on your technique twice a day and to feel fitter afterwards.
With regards to the stay, the house is comfortable and clean and always stocked with fresh fruit and breakfast items. Unai was always available for questions or help when needed. And the house is practically next to the beach.
The two outings were pleasant. If you like birds, bring your binoculars. People come from all different countries to the town and the area around. They generally don't come for sporty activities, but as the average age is relatively high it isn't loud or too crowded. If you do look for more lively bars etc., there are some things around apparently. There are beautiful different types of beaches where you can swim all year round.
Overall a very nice stay, coming back feeling refreshed, fit and rested! Thanks a lot Amanda and Unai for the good care.

I struggled initially with the class as they were tough and pretty non stop.
However about day 3 I started to notice my strength and endurance coming and so that felt great and I was happy with myself.
I have lower back and hip flexor issue which Amanda picked up and this stems from not allowing the natural curve in my spine which was unfortunately ingrained in me from ballet training at a very young age. Amanda resurred me this is an easy fix and I will do the recommended stretches and exercises.

Wundervolle Erfahrung
Drr Support und die Unterstützung für mich als Beginner war grossartig. Auch bezüglich Transfer, Freizeitbeschäftigungen etc. konnte man immer auf Suppert zählen. Auf E-Mails vor dem Kurs und Whatsapp während dem Kurs wurde immer sehr schnell geantwortet.

More than what I expected
The indeepth biomechanics knowledge was overwhelming(in a good way) . I often found myself in the middle of a class staring at Amanda or Mattias, drooling and thinking "ahha! that's why!"
Although I had a teacher training before went through alignments and adjustment, but this was in a very different level. It helps to be as a teacher to understand and analyze different bodies and help people in a confident safe way.
Definitely an eye opening experience for me. With the knowledge I also advanced on my own practice, with more awareness.
Amanda has a lot to offer :) very knowledgeable and humble. Unai is very nice and funny. People who joined this course were incredib, lovely and passionate about yoga. Couldn't ask for more.

Very good experience
Unai and Amanda really tried to make this holiday a success. They offer a tailor made programm to your preference with daily information about the program and the lessons. Amanda informed the yoga teachers about my physical problems so that they could take them in account. I was even offered an extra Spa because of my physical restraints and offered to use the bathtub in another bathroom. I also recommend to book a massage with Carlo. The appartement was really clean, beach almost in front of your door. I recommend the this holiday highly to everyone who wants a tailor made program to your taste.

Heerlijke dagen gehad en echt geweldige yogalessen
De lessen waren echt heel erg goed.
De uitleg was uitgebreid en heb veel bijgeleerd wat betreft bepaalde houdingen die ik al jaren dus verkeerd deed.
De beachhouse was recht aan zee dus de locatie was ook geweldig.

recommendable retreat in Spain to realign & regenerate
I had a wonderful stay at sun salute retreat in Torre de la Horadada in Spain! The accomodation and location was perfect: just around the corner of the beautiful beaches of "la costa calida". The area offers a lot to explore - historical cities & pure nature and wildlife (the city of Cartagena, Murcia, Mar Menor, parque regional de las salinas, flamingos..)
The yoga classes were highly professional and held in Spanish & English by different teachers and were integrated in the regular yoga classes. All teachers work on a highly professional level. I could improve, learn and realign my yoga a lot. I can highly recommend the retreat to anyone who wants to combine sun, sea & yoga for a few days in a very friendly place in southern europe/Spain.

Really wonderful few days
Amanda is so great at what she does. I live with severe scoliosis and she opened up a whole new world of advanced biomechanics to me that I will cherish and continue to take through my yoga journey. The house is great, although I did have the entire place to myself, so it was difficult not to love! The area is so lovely. I definitely recommend a bike for a little more freedom if you don't like walking in the sun. Plenty to do. Amanda and Unai are so accommodating. I can't say enough good things about it. I will definitely be back!

Amazing experience - learned a lot
After the teacher training I feel really well equipped to become a yoga teacher and to guide safe, creative and energetic lessons. Amanda has immersive knowledge about anatomy and biomechanics and I did not only learn a lot about bodies and general but also about my body which helped me to deepen my practice. The schedule for the training was really full in order to fit all the subjects but Unai and Amanda took amazing care of us, not only the food delivered was very fresh, healthy and tasty but also with any problem and question we could come to them and they would support us.
Also the other teachers who came from all over the world had a really good style of teaching and extensive knowledge about their fields (yoga, Thai massage, yoga philosophy).
The location of the training is in a lovely Spanish vacation town right at the sea (also the houses are really close to the beach <5 min walking distance) and the timing of the training is just before and after the holiday season so it is not too crowded or too hot).
I would recommend this training to everyone who wants to deepen their practice or become a sound yoga teacher with a profound knowledge about biomechanics/anatomy.

Everything in this retreat has been amazing! Amanda and Unai are attentive hosts, they helped with all I could need and gave me tips about nearby activities and resturants. Extra activities were offered (workshops and day trips) and I have been very happy to join them.
The location is close to the yoga studio and in a good area to visit the beautiful surroundings. Yoga classes are led by great professionals; Amanda, Athala and Iku provided a fantastic yoga challenge and helped me correcting my posture, on top of that they are kind and bright souls that made my time in Spain memorable.
I've met lovely people and am really greatful for the extraordinary experience :)

Namaste in torre de le horadada
Couldn't fault a thing really enjoyed my stay and yoga experience. Amanda and Iku are amazing yoga teachers and beautiful souls . The yoga was a bit more advanced than im used to back home but always good to challenge yourself snd feel my practice has improved from the experience. Amanda has lots of training in body mechanics and helped me with posture correction explaining all the while the perils of bad posture and poistioning. The hsts both Amanda and Unai were extremely helpful and catered to guests needs: gave lots of recommendations of things to do places and restaurants to visit and we're always at the end of the phone.

One of the best experiences of my life
It was an amazing experience. It was challenging, demanding, very hard but at the same time satisfying and fulfilling. I had fun and I met amazing people there. Days are really full, so be prepared and do your homework before. This is not a holiday, it’s a training for people that really want to know and are curious about yoga and biomechanics. I discovered a wonderful world thanks to Amanda. She’s really the best teacher ever. She really knows what’s she’s talking about, and she finds simple ways to explain complex things. The location in the big yoga house is beautiful it makes you feel home. The workshops are really interesting( I really loved the one on thai massage with Leigh).The people are kind, reliable and lovely. Thank you so much to make me feel home! It was a wonderful experience.

Great and experienced teachers in a beautiful location
The school is in a great location, close to the beach in a beautiful town.
The instructors took care of me during my stay and the meal options were excellent.
Regarding the classes and courses that they offer, the teachers have a huge background in biomechanics and anatomy. I learnt a lot. A lot.
I was able to do poses that I never did before, the classes were very creative and I loved the massages during shavasana. Nice touch.

Quality Yoga Teacher Training
Amanda has a lot of experience and knowledge and transmits this to her students. I had done a 200 hour teacher training some years ago but I didn't feel ready to teach afterwards. Not the case after doing this training. It is intense, there is a lot of prep work to do before the training starts, and a lot of information to take in in a short time, but so worth it. Even with the large choice of YTT's out there I feel confident I made the right choice taking this one.

Everything you need to be a great yoga teacher
First of all, I love the teacher, Amanda Dee very much. She is a talented and very accurate person, with a big heart. The course gives you everything you need to become a good teacher. The course also deepens your understanding of the body's anatomy, how every muscle is connected and how to prevent injury during practice. I would love to recommend this course, and of course, Amanda Dee - you won't regret the choice. Remember yoga is a lifelong practice, why not practice with a good teacher. :)

Great 5-day retreat
The location was beautiful, the house was right on the beach. The kitchen was full of all breakfast food and fresh fruit. The two yoga classes in the morning and in the evening were always wonderful, challenging and guaranteed to help you progress. During the day, various activities including hiking, bike riding, city visits and just enjoying the beautiful beaches were possible. Overall, a real treat!

Perfect five days!
The location of the house and the views could not be better, the area so quiet and felt very safe. The food supplies were varied and ample and they had thought of everything! The yoga classes and studio were the highlight for me, Amanda’s knowledge is first class and she caters for every single student and can recognise what they individually need from their practice which is pretty special. I left feeling inspired.
