interests, but they’ll also be tailored to a varying degree, with the freedom and flexibility for guests to spend time alone when they want it. Some yoga retreats are very focused on holistic health and wellbeing, whereas others are broader, often nature-based, with additional activities for guests to take part in, such as guided hikes, foraging or wild swimming. Our trade-bookable yoga retreats in Valencia
offer twice-daily hatha or vinyasa classes catering to all levels. Alongside daily yoga classes, there are regular yin yoga sessions, as well as other activities such as pranayama

breathing, guided meditation, periods of silence and walks in the surrounding hills. The trip is full-board, with delicious plant-based meals prepared using quality regional organic produce – great for the guests, the planet and the local farmers. Solo travellers can choose from a range of single-occupancy rooms and suites – though
there might be a surcharge. Book it: Responsible Travel’s six-day Yoga Retreat in Valencia starts at £691 in September, including accommodation, meals and activities.
