Oru El Saltador
Power Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat with Stevie
Join Stevie to deepen your yoga practice with a transformative power yoga and mindfulness retreat at Oru El Saltador, where strength, serenity and renewed energy perfectly blend. It's hard in our day to day lives to find time to reflect, pause and connect with ourselves - so coming on retreat enables us to return to a place of balance and heightened awareness. In just 5 days it can feel like we are a totally renewed version of ourselves, with more clarity, more calm and more self-compassion than before.
So what will each day on retreat look like?
Our morning yoga practice will be all about energising the body and awakening the mind with a dynamic, breath-centred sequence. The evening yoga sessions will offer grounding and relaxation after a beautiful day in El Saltador. We’ll learn meditation as a ‘way’ rather than just a technique. There will also be an inversions & hand balancing workshop with different levels for all practitioners and levels of experience. In between you can expect plenty of free time to relax, read a book, stroll around the 80 acres of beautiful land, and we'll arrange a group trip to the stunning Cabo De Gata National Park one day too!
This immersive experience will enhance your asana practice and mental clarity, creating a sense of flow between the two. Rediscover balance, recharge your mind and return home feeling empowered, rejuvenated and deeply aligned.
Whilst all are welcome on this retreat, we recommend having attended one of Stevie's classes here at Oru first and that you aim to have a minimum of 6 months experience attending yoga classes.

Off-grid Living
Off-grid Living
Nestled in the heart of the Andalusian desert, our retreat centre is completely off-grid - and we think that's something worth celebrating.
We run entirely on solar energy, we have our own water supply, and we reduce our footprint wherever possible. There are no mains connections here, no hum of the national grid, no endless supply of resources on tap. What there is, is something rarer: a genuine invitation to slow down, consume less, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the land.
What this means in practice
The desert is a place of abundance and scarcity in equal measure. The sun gives us everything we need to power our days, but we ask guests to be mindful of how they use that energy, turning off lights when leaving a room, avoiding charging devices overnight, and embracing the quiet that comes when screens are set aside.
Water here is precious. We ask everyone to take shorter showers, turn off taps fully, and treat every drop with the same respect the land itself demands. During drier periods, supplies can run low, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation when they do. Many guests tell us that the off-grid nature of the retreat becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their stay. There is something quietly powerful about living within limits, about noticing how little you actually need, and how much more present you become when the usual conveniences fall away.
This is a place to unplug in every sense of the word. To remember what it feels like to live lightly.
Where you’ll stay
Oru El Saltador, 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'd like a no-fly option, we recommend checking out seat61.com to plan an over-land route. To get from London to Almeria via train you can plan one or two overnight stays in South of France, Madrid or Barcelona!
