Who this fits

Ecotourism Romantic Relaxation Wellness

Fits if you're a couple, friend trip or solo traveller looking to reset. Beginner-to-intermediate yoga. Works for retreats of 2-12 people; ask about larger groups.

Doesn't fit if you want nightlife, hard mountain or advanced ashtanga (ask the teacher). In winter (December-February) gorges aren't for swimming: the plan shifts to yoga and dry hiking.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.

I'm a yoga beginner, is that OK?

Yes, perfect. The teacher adapts each posture and works on basic breath and alignment. Most of the group tends to be beginner-to-intermediate. Not a technical retreat.

How many yoga sessions per day?

One in the morning (60-75 min) and one in the afternoon (45-60 min, restorative or yin). Friday evening has an optional arrival session.

What if the weather is bad?

La Vera has mild weather: even in autumn-winter there are usually windows to walk. If heavy rain, the plan shifts to yoga + a Yuste or village visit.

Can I come solo?

Yes, many people come alone to these retreats. The house usually has a single room (ask about supplement) and the group blends quickly during yoga and meals.
