My Teaching Style

Every session is hands-on and genuinely responsive to the people in the room. I use visual cues, direct touch, and a full range of equipment including stability balls, fitness circles, resistance bands, gliding discs, yoga blocks, and spiky balls to support how your body moves in three dimensions. Nothing is generic. Everything is adapted to what you actually need, on that day, in that session.

The 5-Day Experience

Spend extended time with me for breakthroughs:

  • Masterclasses decoding alignment/control - strength without strain

  • My daily Yin Yoga revealing hidden tensions

  • Guest sound baths for neuroscience-backed nervous system reset

  • Fresh workshops building patterns for daily life, sport, or healing

  • Caminito del Rey excursion (included)

  • Sunlit hikes, communal evenings, fast friendships

  • Optional activities (payable extra): Hiking, horse riding, massage, climbing.

What's Included

Four nights of cosy, rustic accommodation at The Olive Branch, all meals prepared by Chef Emma, fully vegan and gluten-free with every dietary need accommodated, and transfers to and from Málaga airport. If you want to arrive a day early or stay on afterwards to extend your time in Andalusia, that is easy to arrange outside of the retreat itself.

There is also genuine free time built into the programme. Time to swim, walk in the surrounding hills, or simply do nothing particularly useful.

What You Take Home

The aim of every retreat is that you leave understanding your body better than when you arrived. Not just feeling good from a few days away, but with a real grasp of how you move, where your patterns and asymmetries lie, and what to do about them. That knowledge translates directly into everyday life, how you sit, walk, drive, train, and recover. It is practical, specific to you, and it lasts.

New content is added each year, so those returning will find fresh material alongside the familiar.
