Our yoga & cooking holidays offer you daily yoga and meditation classes led by José Manuel Ponce, a registered osteopath & Yoga teacher for more than 3 decades

We work in small groups of 6, integrating  classic yoga postures, dynamic movement and mindfulness informed by modern science for a yoga practice 100% focused on your needs and goals

Post-lunch, some time for yourself: enjoy a snooze, lie by the pool or walk off your meal exploring the City and beyond

The cooking tutorials combine demonstrations with working singly or in pairs in your own work-station for that hands-on practice to help you cook with confidence. You’ll get handouts on nutrition and other essential topics in addition to facilities for making your own notes
