2 or 3-Night Extended Weekend Yoga Retreat at Santillán, in Spain with Simon Low 7th to 10th May, 2022
This long-weekend yoga retreat at glorious Santillán includes five led-practice classes over Saturday to Tuesday. You can choose to stay 2 or 3 nights. You can arrive anytime on Saturday 7th & leave anytime on Monday 9th or Tuesday 10th May in the afternoon.
There will be a class on Saturday afternoon, two 2.5 hour classes on Sunday & Monday, & a morning class on Tuesday. The morning class is more dynamic, the afternoon more restorative. The yoga practices conclude with a yin/yang yoga class on Tuesday morning.
Santillán serves three nutritious Mediterranean influenced meals a day created by our wonderful new chef Javier.
You are free to attend all or any of the classes scheduled, while there will be ample time to enjoy Santillán’s facilities, estate, and surrounding hills at this very pleasant time of year. There are many kilometres of walking trails and we have just opened up a path down the valley to the sea taking you right to the water’s edge without even needing to cross a road. The salt-water pool will be open, if still a tad bracing at first contact, and the gardens will be bursting into bloom.
In May it is usually warm and sunny during the day & a little cooler at night. This is a lovely time of year here in Andalucia.
Simon will also offer a guided walk in the surrounding hills during the weekend.
Massage and other complementary therapies will be available to book throughout the retreat period.
All rooms are en-suite with private balcony or terrace.

Santillán is my yoga ‘home’ and where I lead the majority of my teacher trainings and retreats. Santillán offers one of Europe's finest fully equipped yoga studios, spacious en-suite accommodation, a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities including a salt-water swimming pool, at a peaceful sea-facing private valley location only 35-40 minutes east of Malaga airport. And some of the best beaches in the area are only a short car ride away, or 45 minute walk.
I love to teach in the state-of-the-art 160m2 studio which features 24 stations of the Great Yoga Wall. The yoga studio, fitted with a full range of yoga props, a cushioned wooden floor, ceiling fans and other details for retreats and trainings, was designed by myself and Adriana with special assistance from Eija Tervonen in providing the finest props available for this bright and beautiful space. Our intention is to create the ultimate yoga studio experience for teachers and students of all styles of yoga.
We have just cultivated an additional hectare of land for organic vegetables and have planted many new fruit trees. You will be able to juice your oranges straight from the tree in season. We have relocated and enlarged the chicken and duck garden and the ducks swimming pool, which will increase the quantity of fresh organic eggs each day. We are opening up further walking paths and currently designing a new indoor fitness studio and spa. Santillán continues to grow ever more special.
