I was nervous about what to expect on my first retreat. The setting was idyllic, sat in the mountains it was so pretty. I received a warm welcome from Hayley and her team, and the group of us bonded quickly.
The yoga was great, up on the terrace it felt very energising.
Diana’s treatments were amazing, so relaxing and got rid of all my aches and tension.
In between yoga and treatments I relaxed by the pool, reading and chatting.
Being a non vegetarian I was worried about the food but it was really tasty, eating many things I hadn’t tried before.
I returned feeling healthy, calm and happy 
Thank you 

It was such a pleasure to be the first to experience Hayley’s Ayurvedic Retreat, we enjoyed it so much from the moment we arrived to the minute we left, from the massage by Diana and her crystal healing to the delicious food cooked by Elena. It felt like a true escape, disconnecting from our day to day lives, detoxing and resting. It was just heaven. Each yoga practice was varied and the Shala was just magical. I could not recommend this trip more and I am looking forward to attending again. Thank you to Hayley, Kev, Diana and Elena once again xxx

My review of Ayurvedic and Yoga Retreat Andalusia Spain from May 9th-12th May 2025
Clive Hayward ... 20/5/2025
Feeling jaded in life for some time I took the opportunity to go on the above retreat. Not just to learn something new but to rest and hopetully relax.
The arranged taxi picked us up from Malaga airport and took around a hour to take us to Andalusia.
Firstly the accommodation was basic but was exceptionally clean shower water was hot when needed. Close to the accommodation was a small swimming pool with sun beds again spotless.
Hayley is a tantastic teacher and very knowledgeable about everything Ayurvedic and the way of life and her yoga practice was easy to follow and we all felt at ease with her teachings .
I did not know what to expect with Andalusia food but it was simply amazing so very tasty . The chef was always at hand to explain what the food was and how it was made .
On to the One hour Ayurvedic massage and steam. Well I can honestly say I have never felt anything like it so calming all of my aches and pains gone in 60 minutes truly a experience I want to experience again so much so I have booked a 2 hour one and intend to every month ( if my pension allows) at Natural Healing Haven in Therfield about 30 minutes from my home. Diana was so very good at her job simply put with one word fantastic. The steam felt very cleansing and a good accompaniment. Although at 6ft8 and 130kg a little cramped.
Yoga has a way of attracting Yogic people. And this was the case here met some wonderful people. Maybe one day our paths will cross again. On a personal note I felt both honoured and humbled to be asked to take the last class of the weekend.

I recently went on Hayley’s retreat in Malaga and was so impressed! Attention had been paid to every aspect of the weekend. From the remote location to ensure a proper unwind, to the education about Ayurveda and its origins, to the delicious food, to the variety of classes- everything was done with real thought to ensure everyone had a great time. As a beginner to yoga, who also likes to challenge myself, the classes were perfect- allowing for a range of abilities and the meditation part of each session gave a chance for calm and inner reflection. Special mention to Diana who managed to get out the tightest of knots in my shoulders in a dreamy massage, to Eleanor for the food including a lovely takeaway flapjack breakfast, but mostly to Hayley for her honesty and calm nature who somehow managed to help everyone get exactly what they needed from the weekend both physically and mentally. I’ve come back feeling reset and energised for busy mum life and met some really lovely people on the way, would definitely recommend!!
