It is situated in the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada called Los Alpujarras. 2 hours from Malaga airport. It is green and fertile land largely because of the old watering system created by the Moors. There is a large farmhouse and 4 cottages with their own unique décor and ambience. They are surrounded by 5 acres of serene olive groves and fragrant orchards 100s of years old, where the healing powers of nature pervade the senses. Whilst this is a region of outstanding natural beauty with the breath taking Sierra Nevadas as a backdrop, the bustling market town of Orgiva is only 2k distant. Tranquility, simplicity and closeness to heaven and earth are key features on these ‘soul journeys’ with Lainey. An attractive shaded terrace provides an idyllic alfresco dining experience designed to titillate the taste buds and overlooks a beautiful swimming pool with abundant surrounding shade. Yoga twice daily with Lainey is gentle and strengthening. Yoga sessions are a vital and essential aspect for participants on these ‘soul journeys’ deepening connection with body, mind and spirit. More than just a holiday this is a time to rekindle spiritual awareness and attunement to self. You will come to realizations, new inspirations and moments of insight about your life and yourself. Food for the Soul created to ‘heal and inspire’ is the ethos of our chef, Jenny Wood. Great care is placed on healthy, fresh vegetarian food most of which is organic and locally grown. Refreshing herbal teas, from a variety of herbs grown in Jenny’s garden have become great favourites with groups. Excursions Include a visit to typical craft villages situated high in the mountains of the Alpujarras. We also visit a local market in Orgiva (our nearest village approx 2k distant) and enjoy a traditional Spanish meal there. 3 Climate Every season has its own special magic and this time of the year is hot, although tempered by breezes from the mountains and the sea. June - September are beautiful times with September assuredly the mildest and most abundant month with it’s figs, grapes, almonds . . . Where possible soul journey dates are chosen around the full moon. The power of the moon is the inner power of the feminine, of growth, of reflection, inspiration and imagination – the embodiment of ideas. More about YOGA and Chi Gung yoga is designed for all with a reasonable level of fitness. Some experience is helpful bit not essential. Yoga postures help to stimulate the lymphatic system assisting the removal of toxins from the body, which, if allowed to accumulate, cause pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Correct breathing is another important feature of Yoga. Most of the evening sessions are devoted to yoga breathing and meditation. Chi Gung Chi means ‘energy’ and Gung means ‘work’. Chi Gung is a system of ‘energy work’ using soft, flowing and graceful exercises which calm and still the mind. It is simple to follow and participants love it for its meditative qualities. Some chi gung is included in the morning and evening yoga sessions. Massages As an Aromatherapist and Massage Therapist for over 23 years I have observed the power of touch and how essential it is to integrate strong experiences through our bodies. Through our bodies we have the strongest connection to spirit. As we experience more sensation in our bodies from yoga, massages, breathing, fragrance, guided visualisation, exercise etc, we increase awareness and healing occurs in the body.
