COWGIRL YOGA™ España

Yoga and Horseback Riding Women's Retreat in Andalusia, Spain

Calling Culture-loving Cowgirls

 

We've created a little more space on this Cowgirl Yoga retreat, to include a cultural component focusing on the history of horsemanship in Spain - plus regional food and wine (paella, anyone?), and some downtime to enjoy our spectacular retreat hOMe. Culture-loving cowgirl yoginis are welcome on this 7-night retreat in the heart of southern Spain. We'll make our home base in rural Andalusia, at an 18th century heavenly hacienda that was once an olive farm. Savor the Spanish springtime with a healthy dose of yoga, dancing horses, sips of sherry and siestas. We're thrilled to partner with Hacienda de San Rafael for this cultural adventure! ¡Olé y Namaste!

Cultural Cowgirl Yoga, Spanish style

You asked, and we listened. Here is a slightly softer version of Cowgirl Yoga that includes more time to soak up our surroundings for an authentic stay in Spain. In addition to riding, we’ll have the opportunity to learn firsthand about the history of the Spanish horse. We’ll see the Andalusian horses dance at the Royal School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, and ride at Salto al Cielo, an estate once owned by the Cartuja Monastery whose monks bred horses for centuries.

Our days will start with deepening your yoga and meditation practice at the hacienda’s garden shala, surrounded by spring flowers. We’ll learn how to cook paella, nibble tapas, and sip Spanish sherry and vino in between yoga and horses. There will be a deliberately slower pace (read: more authentically Spanish) to this retreat, to read, relax, take a dip in the pool, play games or simply slow down for a siesta. Maybe you’ll even dream about dancing horses.

This luxury yoga and horses experience is limited to 10 women.

This retreat can accommodate all riding levels, however: we highly recommend some riding experience or previous Cowgirl Yoga retreats. Please consider riding lessons to prepare, we are happy to help. 

On this retreat, you'll enjoy:

Luxe Lodging

Spend 7 nights at Hacienda de San Rafael, a privately owned eighteenth-century hideaway perfectly positioned halfway between the historic cities of Seville & Jerez de la Frontera, renowned for its sherry bodegas and dancing horses.

Daily Yoga Classes

Explore the mind-body-horse connection in daily yoga classes, with a unique focus on yoga for equestriennes. Flow, restorative and yin will be offered, depending on the day and its activities. Mid May should be perfect for al fresco yoga in the hacienda's garden shala.

Horseback Riding

One longer ride, one shorter ride and one optional ride are divided throughout the week. Each riding opportunity is accompanied by a horse history lesson (don't worry, there won't be an exam!). Our horse hosts are renowned for their breeding and training of Spanish horses - even our riding will be a cultural experience!

Spanish Equestrian Experience

We'll head to the city of Jerez de la Frontera to see the famous show at the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre, where horses "dance" to flamenco music. Jerez is the birthplace of both flamenco and sherry, and we'll visit a bodega for a private tasting.

Gourmet Meals & Wines

"Food is exactly what it should be: faithfully Spanish, simply presented, and emphatically seasonal, with menus supplemented by the property’s vegetable garden." - CN Traveler
Most dietary needs will be accommodated. Sip and savor Spanish wines and sherry. We'll have a paella cooking class too!

Horses + Mindfulness

Learn how to be more mindful and appreciative of your equine experience through meditation, intention-setting & journaling, and horse-human connection. We will have a countryside meditation after one of our rides, with equine inspiration.

Free Day: Your Choice

We'll have a day when you can opt for no plans (don't worry, we'll still have morning yoga!), maybe another massage (one is already included). Or, you can choose between another cultural/food & wine visit to a nearby town, or an additional horseback ride.
*Free day activities will be at additional individual cost.

Lots of Fun Extras

This yoga + travel retreat includes thoughtful and thorough travel advice + planning for time in Seville before/after our retreat, pre-retreat connecting opportunities, and a carefully curated gift box filled with Spain-inspired goodies.
