“Samyama is a lesson in how life should be lived!
Each time I have gone on retreat I have felt nurtured, blessed and inspired. Our hosts are like friends, our teachers are wonderful...fellow guests are the friends we have not met yet. It is truly a time a fun and serenity.
The Samyama experience rejuvinates tired bodies and souls.
I can't wait to return to Granada! Join me...

“The Location is fanatstic right on the foot of the Alhambra in a beautiful, old house. Reyes and Gianluca were wonderful hosts who really made us feel at home. Yoga with Carmen out on the terrace was very refreshing and relaxing. I also enjoyed spending time with the group. I think we were a great mix of people. And Granada is so beautiful that you don't want to leave anymore. All in all wonderful holidays that I hope to repeat one day.”
“The charming Samayama villa is a wonderful oasis, perfect for quiet, relaxation and calm. It was unbelievable to think minutes away from the tranquillity is the life and bustle of a wonderful city with so much to explore on the doorstep of the villa. My wonderful week of yoga was made so much better by the lovely people I met; fellow yogis who became friends, Carmen who was such a calming influence on us and our fantastic hosts Reyes and Luca, who showed kindness and such wonderful hospitality. A wonderful week, with memories I will never forget!”
“Last summer was spent in blissful relaxation in Granada with samaya fitness. The yoga retreat was beyond all expectations, the food was glorious, the yoga was challenging and my own practice improved greatly. The extra activities were also awesome, Sierra Nevada trekking, Alhambra, tango shows and dining out! The best thing about my experience was the people, our hosts went over and above to ensure we were having a great time. The beautiful chickas on the retreat with me are now friends for life. I would recommend this experience to everyone, regardless of your yoga ability.”
“Lovely opportunity to meet with other yoga enthusiasts in an unique setting - the room we used as a studio at the Jamyang centre was truly inspiring! Great introduction to Pilates too, and - of course- delicious and nutritious food. Thank you Team Samyama!”
“A wonderful experience with lovely yogis, food, friendship and fun in a breathtaking setting and everyone was so kind and welcoming. I hadn't practiced yoga for some years when I went to Samyama, and the amazing teaching there has inspired me to start my practice again.”
“I had a truly wonderful time at a Yoga and Fitness Week in July 2015.
I gained a lot of strength through the different forms of yoga, the food was outstanding and healthy and instructors and guests alike were lovely, friendly people. Highly recommended!”
“I had a wonderful time with Samyama last September in Granada, and at their workshop in London in November. The standard of teaching is excellent; a beautiful blend of physical and spiritual fitness. I would definitely recommend it, in fact I'm returning to Granada this year!”
“I enjoyed a wonderful 3 day yoga break last year with Samyama Fitness. The host was a fantastic cooking us delicious wholesome breakfasts and sumptuous suppers everyday. Yoga was twice a day and really helped to deepen my practice. Would definitely go again. Highly recommended!

“I spent a memorable week last September at the Samyama retreat in Granada...the chance to experience different types of yoga, meet lovely people and eat delicious healthy food as well as have time to explore the city made it very special. So the opportunity to take part in the Samyama one day retreat in London in the Autumn was not to be missed....yoga with the lovely Carmen and a session led by Kunle when we made and then ate the freshest and most colourful lunch. Am now looking forward to returning to Granada in September.......”
“I went to the Eco-Yoga Retreat in Almeria in 2015 and it was fantastic. Excellent location, beautiful site, great food and very interesting activities with the yoga and talks on well-being and lifestyle. I felt totally "re-charged" when I was ready to go home. I highly recommend you consider going to a retreat run by Samayama Fitness.

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself at samyama. The entire experience was fantastic from the lovely and friendly hosts (Kunle and Katie) and amazing setting in Granada through to the professionally run and varied classes we enjoyed throughout the week and very tasty but healthy food choices. I would highly recommend.”
“The Samyama Fitness experience is still very much in my heart.
A beautiful villa, great yoga courses and fantastic nourishing food.
Granada is a fabulous place for such a retreat and there is so much to do whilst there, a stunning destination.
The hosts made it a very personal experience and I was lucky enough to have a fantastic group too.
I would highly recommend Samyama Fitness, I loved it there and will no doubt go to another Samyama Fitness retreat soon.”
“Amazing venue, really welcoming team, very good teachers (Carmen and Lisa), AWESOME food.
The nutrition roundtable was quite basic (nothing new for me, but I understand it was useful for people who normally eat other kind of food).
The final meditation was lovely.
In general I thought it was going to be harder (2 yoga classes and 1 pilates in the same day), but it wasn't. I took it as a relaxing ME time :)
You can be proud of this great event/retreat you guys have created. Very warming energy could be felt in the air! Congrats xx”
“We had a wonderful week at Samyama in August last year. Never done yoga before, but we had a brilliant teacher who guided us through some quite complicated positions beautifully. The weather was fantastic and the food was beautifully prepared - the breakfast was especially good. And it was great to be so close to some good bars too! We met some great people and we are still in touch.”
“As a mature woman my experience of the week I spent with Samyama was one of comaderie and fun. The Samyama ethos of understanding that this very precious week is part of a summer holiday was essential to the overall enjoyment of the week. Let there be no misunderstanding the yoga and fitness training was excellent, started on time and the staff were always available if there were any questions. I can highly recommend the whole experience.”
“Samyama was my first yoga retreat experience, and arriving initially, going up the steps to the retreat - I had no idea what to expect. But as you reach the top, the views are breathtaking, and it's easy to see the charm of the villa where the retreat takes place.
The yoga lessons were brilliant, because we are in a small group, and sometimes with two teachers who come by to adjust your position, and give you guidance - but also because they take place on a terrace with stunning views of the old town of Grenada.
The retreat made me remember how much I like yoga, but besides the yoga I loved getting to know and sharing the experience with a whole new group of people and discovering a beautiful city in between the classes.”
“Samyama Fitness have a fantastic authentic Spanish retreat in the heart of the beautiful city of Granada. It’s nestled right under the Alhambra Palace & has great views whilst being tucked away enough to be peaceful in its tranquil gardens and on the terrace, plus around the refreshing swimming pool.
However, it’s also just a short walk down the hill into Plaza Nueva and Granada old town where there’s so much to do and see whether it’s shopping, sight-seeing or a drink with some tapas to watch the world go by.
I’ve loved both my trips to the retreat because you can do as much or as little as you want with the classes, the staff are all so knowledgeable and helpful they make it a real experience and everything is very relaxed so it feels like a proper holiday.
Also the food is excellent and even though I’m an avid meat eater back at home I found all the meals both delicious and filling. Whilst I felt better from having a break from eating meat I did allow myself a treat of some Iberico ham at the end of the week along with a glass of wine at my favourite tapas bar Bodegas Castaneda, a bustling atmospheric place full of locals & tourists, just off Plaza Nueva.
I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to combine a yoga retreat, relaxing holiday by the pool and city break with plenty to do all into one trip. I can’t wait to get back there again this summer myself.”
