About Cortijo San Jose
Set on a hilltop, the 200-year-old Cortijo offers magnificent views of the rolling countryside, olive groves and a laguna which is home to flamingos.
Cortijo San Jose is full of warmth, character and charm, offering beautiful accommodation, a saltwater pool, sun terrace, gardens, a courtyard and plenty of hidden corners for relaxation. The Cortijo is completely off-grid with all power generated by the sun.
Located in the heart of Andalusia, the cultural delights of Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Ronda are just a day trip away.
Retreat programme
There will be two yoga classes each day with Elena in the light and airy converted barn space or on a shaded terrace overlooking the hills and olive groves.
Each day will begin with a morning class of meditation, pranayama and a flowing asana practice to strengthen and align the body. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.
The evening classes will be somatic and restorative, working towards a greater depth of awareness and sense of inner peace. Across the week Elena will offer space for nourishing soundbaths and evening chanting too.
Between yoga classes there will be the chance to explore the beautiful natural surroundings or simply rest and relax. During the week there will be one yoga free day.
Things to do
There will be plenty of time to rest and relax, soak up the sun by the pool, read your book in a hammock or take a massage with a specialised therapist.
Or you can head off for a walk to explore the stunning countryside or take a trip to visit one of the many beautiful and culturally rich towns and cities of Andalusia. Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Ronda are just a day trip away.
