Testimonial. 

“Have just retuned from a wonderful experience in the most idyllic setting of Escolta Alta Mountain Retreat in Spain. The varied movement practices are fun, challenging and relaxing. A perfect balance of different styles movement and teaching. Led by an incredibly hard working professional team whose passion for what they do is inspiring. Plenty of time for chilling with a book and chatting by the pool. Food was utterly amazing and I can’t wait to return. “

EXTRAS

To top off your adventure holiday, we can now also offer both mountain and road biking to add to your package through Cycle Sierra Nevada. They offer bike hire and guided routes to suit all levels and abilities. Although, from personal experience, the mountains are big and climbs steep, so a certain level of fitness is required.

If horse riding is your thing you can head up into the mountains above Lanjaron and enjoy a hack or lesson with Sarah from Caballo Blanco. She has a mixture of Spanish horses suitable for all experience levels. A great way to see the local scenery.

These activities will be at an extra cost and are entirely optional. If you would like this added to the retreat package, please let us know. 

MOVE WELL YOGA - Sharon

My classes are generally a mix of movement styles dependent on the students. They involve building strength, flexibility, and functional movement.
