Yoga on the terrace
Here's what our guests have to say about us, a full review of a visit by Carol Lloyd of Yoga Magazine can be found here.
It’s been a real pleasure & privilege to return again to the peace & tranquillity
of orange blossom filled Yoga. A retreat in everyway – many thanks Les
Jenny (Again)
The retreat ticked all the right boxes for me, beautiful scenery, peace and tranquillity,
great company and lots of yoga. An experience way beyond my expectations! Thanks,
Les

The sweet smell of orange blossom and incredible views of the Andalucian hillside
greeted us as we arrived at Les’s lovely yoga Retreat. The house is really chilled
out and we quickly settled into a bit of a routine – yoga in the morning, breakfast
on the terrace, a little wander into the town to pick up local almonds and honey
or a trip out to the hot springs, then a bit more yoga (if we felt up to it!) all
rounded off with a gorgeous three course home cooked meal and a nice glass of wine.
Les is a great yoga teacher, he’s really laid back, working to whatever level you’re
at and full of helpful tips – the main ones being to smile and enjoy yourself. And
almost without realising it we learnt the entire Ashtanga first series – no pain
and lots of gain. A few days at Yogatone is 11/10 great.

that you have created we have both experienced something that has changed our lives.
