About this retreat
Set within three acres atop a peaceful hilltop, the 200-year-old Cortijo San Jose offers 360-degree panoramic views of rolling countryside, ancient olive groves, and a shimmering laguna where flamingos gather. This retreat offers a powerful fusion of yoga, Spinal Flow Technique, and nervous system healing, all designed to support deep rest, release, and reconnection. Steeped in warmth, charm, and character, the Cortijo is a true haven for your transformation on this healing journey —offering beautifully restored accommodation, a saltwater pool, sun-drenched terraces, lush gardens, a tranquil courtyard, and plenty of private corners to retreat and recharge. It’s the kind of place that makes you exhale deeply and think, “I’ve landed in heaven.”
Led by Rhi Kicks, an experienced retreat leader, Yoga Teacher and intuitive Spinal Flow Practitioner, and Sølvi Bore, also an experienced Spinal Flow Practitioner and doTERRA essential oils specialist, this immersive week-long retreat in the heart of Andalusia, Spain, invites you to reset your nervous system, restore natural flow through the spine, and return home to your body.
What should you expect:
Twice daily yoga sessions PLUS 2 Spinal Flow 30 minute group sessions per day (with plenty of time to rest, journal, read or socialise in-between) your body will come home to itself.
There will also be Restorative Rituals & Guided meditations, stillness practices, and time in nature to support deep rest, integration, and connection.
High-quality doTERRA essential oils will be woven into yoga classes, meditative moments, and healing spaces to enhance relaxation, uplift the senses, and support emotional and energetic balance.
