“Ruth’s yoga retreat in Tarifa was truly fabulous. The bespoke approach meant that the classes were varied and brilliantly targeted, providing just what we all seemed to need. The food and the setting of the venue nourished and nurtured us - such a delight. I cannot recommend highly enough.”
“I experienced just the most wonderful retreat in Tarifa with Ruth. Based in a stunning location above the Straits of Gibraltar, the villa was comfortable with stunning views and indoor and outdoor pools and a short walk from a gorgeous sandy beach. We were treated to several sessions of yoga a day all of which were optional, it was the most wonderful experience practicing yoga outside in the early morning surrounded by wildlife and the aroma of honeysuckle and jasmine. Ruth adapted the practices each day to suit our moods and the activities of the day, making it truly personal and unique. No one practice was the same with a meditation every evening to complete the day. In addition the food was exceptional, exceeding expectations day after day. It really was quite the most perfect week.”
“Having recently returned from the Tarifa retreat I can honestly say there is absolutely nothing I would have changed. Ruth not only delivered an extensive programme of varied yoga sessions each day but also made sure the additional activities- guided walks and trips into Tarifa town and to Bolonia Roman ruins - were well planned and executed.”
“ A wonderful week of nourishing yoga, delicious food in a beautiful setting. Ruth is a an attentive & caring teacher & the retreat house had a wonderful team that took great care of us. Came back feeling refreshed & energised. Can’t wait to go back! “
“The retreat was one of the loveliest experiences and I can recommend it to anyone who needs time to relax and reset .
Ruth’s organised and flexible approach meant the week flowed and adapted to the needs and emotions of the group
The setting and food were fantastic and the whole experience has left me with a renewed sense of peace as well as a healthy body.
I wish I could go every month.”
“Our week in Tarifa was such a special week shared with a wonderful group of like minded souls. The days quickly evolved into a repeating pattern of “yoga, eat, relax!” We had the time to explore our yoga practice at a deeper level, which was definitely a highlight. The food was absolutely delicious, so varied and beautifully presented every single meal. The villa had everything you could ask for, and plenty of space to hang out with a book so you never felt on top of people. I loved being so close to the beach to nip down for an hour or so to see the waves. Take me back!!”
“A wonderful retreat. Relaxing, invigorating and rejuvenating in a beautiful villa and Ruth provided just the right amount of yoga/meditation. The food was amazing too!”
“The holiday with Ruth was fabulous- clear communication and organisation, wonderful location, delicious food and plenty of yoga . Ruth was very sensitive to everyone’s needs. Definitely recommend!”
