“I attended a day retreat in London and had a great time! I've only recently started Yoga and hadn't been to anything like this before, so wasn't sure if I'd like it. It was a great day; a good chance to meet like-minded people, practice some yoga and brush up on some cooking skills. Highly recommended.”
“Great week in Granada. Samyama Yoga was really relaxing and enjoyable.
The venue was amazing and the people were really down to earth and made the whole experience really pleasant. I would highly recommend Samyama Fitness and Granada. Looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks guys, you get five stars all round from me.”
“Just perfect!
I just love the villa and its location, it really is totally unique and if you like traditional, period properties with oodles of class then like me you will think it is perfect.
I was unsure at first as I'm used to staying in shiny modern places, which on reflection are a little soulless.
Oh and the yoga and food were great to, but the highlight for me was sitting in the villa chatting to my new friends watching the sun setting over the stunning views, after a days yoga.
I cant wait to go back.”
“The Samyama Yoga retreat was a brilliant experience. The retreat villa is beautiful and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Granada town. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the yoga classes. As a beginner to yoga she found the different instructors were very helpful and were keen to assist her when she needed it. The vegetarian menu was truly delicious!! As a huge meat eater I was a little concerned about eating vegetarian food during my stay, but after the tasty and varied dishes served on day one, my fears were allayed. The hosts were excellent!! They thoroughly looked after all of us!! Our host took the time to show us interesting places in Granada whilst also allowing us to explore on our own. Added to the extremely lovely people we met, my wife and I had a magical stay at the yoga retreat!! We're planning to visit again this year.”
“Samyama's London retreat was one day of pure bliss and relaxation. Amazing teachers, inspiring venue and great fun! The perfect way to spend a Saturday. A big thank you to the amazing hosts!”
“Absolutely fabulous experience! I am definitely not a yoga practitioner and in fact, missed a number of sessions. But the beauty of Samyama is that it truly is YOUR holiday, as Kunle stresses, and you get to do as much or as little as you want. It's all about fun! For me, the extra activities such as the hanging bridges walk, enjoying the amazing baths, experimenting with tapas and exploring the cobblestoned city as well as the Alhambra Palace were fabulous experiences. Oh! And don't forget the shopping! Do yourself a favour and spend a week at Samyama - I'm still raving about my stay to all my Aussie friends and would go back on a flash if the opportunity arose.”
“Really wonderful holiday. Beautiful house, delicious healthy food, really really good yoga teacher and lovely people. Kunle and his team were fantastic and so friendly . I would definitely go back.

“Samyama was exceptionally welcoming and friendly during my stay in Granada in 2014. Kunle, Katie and their little daughter are an amazing family and run exceptionally accommodating, relaxed and organised retreats. Kunle is a great cook and I'd hardly eaten outside. There is everything you need so the guests have a great time. Our yoga teacher Gillie was fabulous and we all were looking forward to the practices (even the morning ones!). Highly recommend!

“Perfect..... Carmen, company and hosts. What a super way to spend time getting healthier and having a bit of 'me time'. The Carmen is located in the ideal situation: green, lush and cool, but also steps away from the culture, beauty and history of Granada. The yoga is great; fun to have sessions with a variety of teachers. Carmen the main yoga lead has a wonderful aura that is truly inspiring. I would recommend her massages if you are able to book one. The relaxed and intimate atmosphere allows novices to work well alongside more advanced practitioners. Julia and the team, who look after all the guests, are fabulous, providing lovely fresh food, local know how and great company. Thank you everyone K Berkshire”

“loved staying in Granada, kunle bends over backwards to make you feel special and at home. Gillie the yoga teacher was warm genuine and put her all into making you feel strong and fit. I loved it!”
“In May 2014 I spent a very memorable week on a Samyama yoga and well-being retreat in Granada. Kunle and Katie were wondeful hosts, meeting us at the airport and providing transport from Malaga to a wonderful villa in Granada. The accommodation is very special - a beautiful atmospheric and spacious old house with fabulous views out across the old city.
Given how centrally located it is, the house is amazingly peaceful and tucked away, just down the hill from the Alhambra. The villa has a swimming pool and terraces for lazing in the sunshine. A variety of yoga and pilates teachers came to the villa on weekday mornings to teach our group and support us to develop our practice. In addition, plenty of time was made available in the later part of the day for rest and relaxation. I loved the opportunities to explore the old parts of the city, the winding cobbled street and passageways and to simply soak up the ambience of beautiful Granada.
A delicoius and healthy breakfast and evening meal was prepared for us everyday and included in the price for this wholesome and nourishing retreat experience. Kunle, Katie and their delightful little daughter, Artemis, were kind and helpful at all times. As an opportunity to develop your yoga practice, however limited your experience so far, and as an opportunity to fully experience the delights of Granada, I cannot recommend this holiday highly enough.”
“I had a wonderful time last year in Granada with Samyama. So much so I have booked to go back this Seotember. I loved the yoga teachers, the location and the group was especially lovely. The food was absolutely fantastic. The best food I've ever had on this type of holiday or any holiday for that matter. We had a lovely, lovely couple looking after us and they really enhanced the whole experience. Can't wait for September.”
“The Samyama Fitness Yoga retreat in Granada was fabulous :) The hosts were helpful, kind and super friendly , the house was beautiful and comfortable, the food was delicious and the yoga was enlightening and enriching.
The retreat had the right balance of being able to unwind and explore Granada so you still felt like you was on holiday and being able take daily yoga classes that allowed you to expand your experience and learn new things and the teachers were knowledgeable and warm.
The location of the retreat is perfect in the heart of Granada and next door to the Alhambra - so it was easy to walk everywhere by foot and delve into the city.
I would thoroughly recommend Samyama Fitness to anyone looking to book a yoga retreat :)”
“The detox day was such a positive, relaxing environment which gave a varied experience of yoga, Pilates and meditation. The food was healthy and delicious and the workshop was informative, with many ideas I can take back and use in every day life. The venue was beautiful with a lovely feel to it.”
“The one day detox retreat in London was really great. I missed the previous one and so glad they put this one together because of the great response they had. It was great to have the chance to meet Katie and Kunle and learn more about Samyama.
The group on the day was the right size and a good mix of veterans of the Samyama experience and some newbies like myself, plus everyone was so welcoming.
It was nice to meet Lisa and regain the Pilates bug, and who has been super helpful with all my questions for this event and the retreat in Granada - of which I was looking forward to already and meeting others who had been (some several times) made me even more excited for this experience. Carmen is a great teacher and again looking forward to her teachings in Granada.
The Buddhist Centre was the perfect backdrop for our Yoga, Pilates and Meditation - and I liked the informality of the detox discussion and that its all about balance and change for life vs quick cleanse and back to bad habits. I am already into some of the recipes and foresee a Kunle Kookbook in our stockings for Christmas :)
Great event and look forward to whatever else they have in store for 2016
Emma”

“I had not done much Yoga before and a friend at work suggested Samyama Fitness. We had such a great time and the experience was so much more than I had thought.
We met some lovely people and I really got back into my yoga! Its just a really lovely and relaxing experience from start to finish.”
