JUST RELAX AND RESTORE RETREAT
(Open to all who would like to be on retreat to just relax and nourish self.)
The Just Relax and Restore Retreat will run concurrently with the Advanced Restorative training. If you would like to ‘Just’ arrive as you are, enjoy a relaxing yoga retreat to Rest and restore. Here is it. On this Just Relax and Restore Retreat, you will have the option to join 20 hours of yoga programme. There will be lots of time just for you to relax and do nothing, laze around the pool or take long walks, read a book or take siesta under Spanish sun.
Just Relax and Restore yoga retreat is about time and rhythm. Allowing yourself time to exhale, time to slow down and recharge your batteries. Consciously choosing to prioritise and reset one’s personal rhythm for health and well-being.
It has been over a year of physical, emotional and mental testing ground for many. It is time to rejuvenate, reconnect and re-engage with our inner resource. How long has it been since you prioritise your personal well-being for a whole week?
More than a vacation, this yoga retreat is a gift of DEEP REST to self. The focus is on you having the space and time to JUST BE YOU. It’s a week of taking ourselves out of daily routine and responsibilities, taking a PAUSE from streams of stimulation, where you have the time and support to practice true self care. Are you willing?
There will also be opportunity to work with some Advanced Restorative poses / series, with experienced Restorative practitioners and myself. Participants on the Advanced training will be on an extended yoga programme.

Retreat Rhythm
Designed to encourage slowing down, re-setting personal rhythm, and feeling spacious with time.
There will be three sessions a day with morning meditation and self practice, plus two Restorative practice classes each morning and afternoon (estimated 4 hours per day). Paradoxically, by giving ourselves the gift of deep rest, we return to our lives with more energy for family, work and creativity.
Open space each day for reading, lying by the pool, swimming, journaling, hiking, take a nap, enjoy a massage, daydream in the garden – anything that feeds your heart.
There will be one afternoon off with the option to explore Malaga, go on an excursion, visit one of Adelene's favourite hammam in the world, or simply lie in.

VENUE & ACCOMMODATION
This 6 day 5 night residential retreat will be held at the very special Santillan Center, in Malaga Spain. Set in a secluded rural area, Santillan is an Andalusian paradise. A farm of 30,000 sq meters, it’s located in the peaceful countryside, surrounded by the silence of the mountain and with wonderful sea views, and yet is conveniently only 20 minutes from Malaga airport.
With 20 individually styled rooms, paying special attention to color, harmony and balance with the environment. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and each comes with a private outdoor space, either veranda or terrace, with lovely views of the gardens, surrounding hills or down the valley to the sea.
This event is carefully designed to support an in-depth learning environment, for personal growth. Having experienced Restorative yoga and the value of rest and silence, it is invaluable to further this practice within a residential retreat. This is a rare opportunity to offer oneself permission for personal process and integration.
Covid Measures - Santillan has implemented the necessary protocols, hygiene and social distancing measures to guarantee your well-being and safety. We also offer single accommodation with private bathroom only at this present moment to our students, and an ample collection of yoga props for the own personal use throughout the week.
