Oru El Saltador
Mindful Fitness Retreat with Uwa
Join wellbeing and movement practitioner Uwarobosa for a five-night retreat exploring movement as medicine - a practice of returning to the body as a place of balance, vitality, and connection. This homecoming is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with what heals and moves you - from the inside out.
Each day combines two guided sessions blending holistic fitness, mindful movement and embodied yoga, designed to meet you where you are. Mornings awaken energy and strength; afternoons offer slower, grounding space to unwind, restore, and listen. Between practices, there’s time to relax, read, nap, and share nourishing food under Spanish skies.
This 5 day retreat will allow you equal parts fun and energising experiences and equal parts rest and relaxation, whilst being nourished with plentiful delicious organic food, sleeping deeply to the sounds of cicadas and nature, and breathing the wonderful mountain air of the Sierra Alhamilla. Oru retreats focus deeply on community and nature, so you can expect to leave feeling restored, and with a bunch of new (often local) new friends!
We believe that fitness doesn’t need to be stressful, cortisol-inducing or a punishment. Instead, it can be nourishing, mindful and intentional, allowing us to tune into our inner world and how we feel whilst we move. We also believe that inner and outer strength is an amazing practice, one that helps us feel more alive, more centred and ready for anything!
Each day on retreat will begin with either a mindful fitness workout or energising yoga practice, and will finish with a restorative yoga and meditation practice to wind down and relax. Weaved throughout the days will be journaling practices, group walks in nature, a trip to the stunning Cabo De Gata beaches and to see dolphins, a desert trip with dinner and more.
This retreat is open to anyone, but we recommend that you have a semi-regular movement practice (whether that’s attending yoga and strength classes or workout out at home).

Where you’ll stay
Almeria, Southern Spain
-
Nestled in the gentle hills of the Sierra Alhamilla in Almeria, Spain, lies Oru El Saltador. It is located at the crossroads of the Tabernas Desert and the wild beauty of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.
-
You will need to book your own flights for this retreat. For this retreat we recommend flying to and from Almeria airport. There is also the option to fly to Murcia but please note that it is a longer drive to this airport (roughly 2 hours). If you want to spend a little longer in the area, or extend your trip, we really recommend this - there’s so much to enjoy in the area!
Once at either airport, we will arrange taxi transfers to collect you (this will be an additional cost) or you are welcome to hire a car if you wish. Almeria airport is 45 minutes drive away, Murcia is 1 hour 45 minutes away.
-
Once you have chosen your airport of choice, we can help arrange taxi transfers for you direct to the venue.
Almeria - 45 minute drive
Murcia - 1 hour 45 minute drive
If you want to make your trip longer and a little different, you can get a high speed train from Barcelona to Almeria (opening Spring 2026)!
