6 Day Embrace Yourself, Nature, Horses, Sound Massage, Coaching, Yoga, Mindfulness in Southern Spain

This yoga and horse riding retreat Spain — held in Southern Spain — is a genuinely extraordinary experience — an intimate 6-day journey of reconnection held at an organic family farm within the breathtaking Grazalema Nature Park in Cadiz, Andalusia. Led by Mia Isacsson — an experienced astrology and psychodrama coach, yoga teacher, and certified Peter Hess® sound massage practitioner — this retreat combines daily horseback riding, yoga, sound healing, personal coaching, and nature immersion into one deeply transformative escape for a maximum of 6 guests.

Reconnect with Yourself, Nature, and the Horses

This is not just a yoga retreat or a riding holiday — it is an invitation to disconnect from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself through the unique language of horses. The herd at this 32-hectare organic estate grazes freely on the farm’s meadows year-round and is guided by expert horsemen Raul and Nano. No riding experience is necessary — the horses are calm, well-trained Andalusians, and the trails through the cork-oak forests, limestone sierras, and hidden ravines of the Nature Park are some of the most beautiful in all of Spain. If you prefer not to ride, alternative activities can be arranged.

Your Day-by-Day Experience

Day 1 begins with check-in, a welcome circle, and introduction to the finca, followed by dinner. On Days 2–5, each morning begins with horseback riding (or an alternative activity), followed by a lunchbox in the saddle and afternoon workshops, sharing circles, yoga, and evening sessions including moon ceremonies, sound meditations, and coaching circles, before dinner at 8:30pm. Day 6 closes with a final sharing and coaching circle before checkout at noon, with morning trail riding as a final farewell to the land.

The Horses and Riding Experience

The horses are Spanish-breed Andalusians and cross-breeds, ranging from ponies to 15–16 hands. They are calm, well-trained, and used to carrying riders at every level. Raul and Nano, the finca’s experienced guides, will match you with the right horse and lead you through trails you will never forget. The rider weight limit is 176 pounds / 80 kilograms. If you happen to be there during a full moon, you may have the option of a night ride through the silver-lit ravines of the park — an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.

Sound Healing and Coaching

One of the most distinctive elements of this retreat is the Peter Hess® Sound Massage — a deeply relaxing practice in which Tibetan singing bowls are placed on or around the body, producing resonant vibrations that release tension, balance energy, and induce a meditative state. Mia also offers crystal and chakra meditation, moon ceremonies, and personal development coaching throughout the week, with the option to book private sessions. Follow-up coaching video calls after the retreat are also available.

The Organic Farm and Setting

The finca is a 32-hectare estate at 800 metres above sea level, at the heart of the Grazalema Nature Park — a UNESCO biosphere reserve spanning over 53,000 hectares between Cadiz and Málaga. These forests are among the most biodiverse in Europe, home to over 1,500 plant and animal species, including the rare Spanish fir. The landscape alternates cork-oak forests with open valleys cut by spectacular limestone sierras.

The boutique eco-hotel — an old, renovated agricultural building — has 10 double rooms, some with private terraces and garden entrances. All rooms feature a king-size or twin beds, private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, and free Wi-Fi. The property also features a natural infinity pool integrated within rocks, a lovely garden, and terraces surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. An honesty bar and filtered-water fountain are available throughout the day.

Food at the Organic Farm Kitchen

All meals are prepared in the farm’s own organic kitchen using products from the estate’s certified organic production of Merino sheep, fish from park lakes, and seasonal local produce. The menu combines traditional dishes with modern innovation and caters to vegetarian, omnivore, and special dietary requirements on request. Breakfast is served from 8:30–10:30am; lunch is provided as a lunchbox on riding days; dinners are shared communal meals at 8:30pm.
