Join Jean & Liz for a blissful week of yoga, sun, sea & rejuvenation on the beautiful island of Formentera.

The private retreat location is set amidst the dunes on Playa Migjorn, a 6km sweeping crescent of powder white sandlapped by turquoise waters 11 miles off the South-West Coast of Ibiza.

YOGA: Free from speculation, wishful thinking and fantasy, our Yoga retreats cut straight to the core of being human. In doing so, the body is awakened, sensitized and integrated so that the breath is released, the mind quietened and clarified, releasing the full power of the human spirit. Yoga is practiced in the mornings from 8.30–10.30am and in the afternoons 4.30-6.30pm with optional karma beach cleaning. We have two yoga terrazas. One overlooking the sea and one just off the beach walk. They are covered, yet can be opened to view the beautiful surroundings and sea views.

Liz and Jean met whilst studying Performing Arts M.A's in 1998, and since have co-run retreats together. They have a wide and colourful yoga background and hope this will encourage you to enjoy and explore their practice with openness. Jean's dances background and Liz's Arts background bring creativity to a deep Vinyasa flow practice, for all levels.

Accommodation: The boutique house retreat is on the beach. All rooms are decorated in a boho chic style, scattered with antiques, fluttering curtains and sun baked vintage vogues and art books. This special combination of amazing location and dynamic yoga allows you to recharge your batteries and gather your energies to go back to work feeling and looking amazing. 

Detox Vegetarian Cuisine: Fruit is available in the morning before practice. We do not advise practicing on a full stomach. The food has been prepared to draw toxins out of your system to restore you to health and well-being. The chef is fully trained in vegetarian cuisine and your meals on the retreat are: wheat free, dairy free, sugar free, yeast free and salt free. Lunch is served around 1pm. Evening meal around 7–7.30pm. Herbal teas, water and fruit are supplied upon arrival, for breakfast and after lunch for the beach.

How to get to us: Fly to Ibiza airport (2.5 hrs flight time from the UK – 1 hour forward time difference). Normally the early morning flight will get you to us in plenty of time. Upon return, get the lunchtime or evening flight and perhaps spend a few hours shopping in Ibiza Old Town. See links for more information on hotels, boat timetables or yoga. Upon arrival in Ibiza get a taxi from the rank outside arrivals and ask for IBIZA OLD TOWN PORT. This should be around 15 Euros & cheaper if you share. Most students meet each other on the plane, but if you are traveling alone we can match you with the others before you leave. Tell the taxi you want to get a boat from Ibiza to Formentera & they will drop you outside the ticket office in the port of the Old Ibiza Town. It's a nice place to spend a night either side of your retreat as it has some great shops and the old town is beautiful in the evening.

The boats are easy and you will not need to book in advance as they run every 30-60 minutes. Arrive at La Savina Port Formentera and grab a taxi (18 euros approx) to the address of the retreat which will be given to you upon booking completion.
Upon arrival around lunchtime, there will be fresh vegetable/fruit juices/platter to re-fresh you after your journey. You will then settle into your rooms & explore before enjoying a delicious vegetarian buffet style lunch.
