Our yoga classes are founded on the dynamic yoga method and set within the context of Patanjali's classical yoga. Our aim is to guide you towards developing a self-directed practice.
The morning yoga practice is a flow class where movements and postures are connected on the thread of the breath. We start with a period of relaxation and some insights about the practice, followed by a variable sequence of breath-led asana postures.
If you are a beginner, or not very flexible, don't worry about what you can't do - being competitive in yoga will not make you a better yoga student. Physical restrictions will dissolve naturally over time with sensitive practice.
The afternoon yoga sessions are restorative, using postures that gently open the major joints of the body. Guidance in pranayama and sitting meditation is also given.
Enthusiasm and curiosity are recommended, as you will be practicing yoga for 2 hours each morning, and 1.5 hours in the evening.

A Typical Day
As the sun streams through your window you awake to the gentle ringing of Tibetan bells calling you to class. You help yourself to a lemon and ginger tea and make your way down to the yoga studio, taking in the breathtaking mountain views. Then you begin an invigorating yoga session with your fellow guests.
After class, a sumptuous brunch awaits you on the pool terrace where we discuss the options for spa therapy treatments. After brunch there is free time to immerse yourself in the hot tub, or have a sauna, or flop into a hammock, or simply gaze at the mountains and put your mind at rest.
First class spa therapies include full body massage, acupuncture, reflexology, Thai yoga massage, kinesiology, Raynor massage, Quantum therapy, Reiki.
In the evening your body is warm and pliant and a gentle yoga session beckons: an hour and a half of restorative asana practice and guided meditation.
The evening air is warm and sweet and you are ready for supper. Soft music and incense awaits you and a well-earned aperitif is served on the terrace with some vegetarian Spanish tapas. A generous three course supper is served and you have the chance to mingle again with your fellow guests, before rounding the evening off with Moroccan mint tea. When you are ready to retire, the sound of night crickets under a billion stars is sure to induce a night of blissful sleep.

Kaliyoga's vegetarian cuisine is imaginative, healthy and well balanced. Meat eaters are usually astonished by the tasty rich flavours.
Fun Extras: optional activities and workshops can be arranged at nominal cost e.g. 5-rhythms dance party, Samba reggae dance class, superfood and raw food cookery class, Bhajan singing class, live music concert, guided mountain hikes, horse riding, afternoon at the beach.
