“loved staying in Granada, kunle bends over backwards to make you feel special and at home. Gillie the yoga teacher was warm genuine and put her all into making you feel strong and fit. I loved it!”
“In May 2014 I spent a very memorable week on a Samyama yoga and well-being retreat in Granada. Kunle and Katie were wondeful hosts, meeting us at the airport and providing transport from Malaga to a wonderful villa in Granada. The accommodation is very special - a beautiful atmospheric and spacious old house with fabulous views out across the old city.
Given how centrally located it is, the house is amazingly peaceful and tucked away, just down the hill from the Alhambra. The villa has a swimming pool and terraces for lazing in the sunshine. A variety of yoga and pilates teachers came to the villa on weekday mornings to teach our group and support us to develop our practice. In addition, plenty of time was made available in the later part of the day for rest and relaxation. I loved the opportunities to explore the old parts of the city, the winding cobbled street and passageways and to simply soak up the ambience of beautiful Granada.
A delicoius and healthy breakfast and evening meal was prepared for us everyday and included in the price for this wholesome and nourishing retreat experience. Kunle, Katie and their delightful little daughter, Artemis, were kind and helpful at all times. As an opportunity to develop your yoga practice, however limited your experience so far, and as an opportunity to fully experience the delights of Granada, I cannot recommend this holiday highly enough.”
“I had a wonderful time last year in Granada with Samyama. So much so I have booked to go back this Seotember. I loved the yoga teachers, the location and the group was especially lovely. The food was absolutely fantastic. The best food I've ever had on this type of holiday or any holiday for that matter. We had a lovely, lovely couple looking after us and they really enhanced the whole experience. Can't wait for September.”
“The Samyama Fitness Yoga retreat in Granada was fabulous :) The hosts were helpful, kind and super friendly , the house was beautiful and comfortable, the food was delicious and the yoga was enlightening and enriching.
The retreat had the right balance of being able to unwind and explore Granada so you still felt like you was on holiday and being able take daily yoga classes that allowed you to expand your experience and learn new things and the teachers were knowledgeable and warm.
The location of the retreat is perfect in the heart of Granada and next door to the Alhambra - so it was easy to walk everywhere by foot and delve into the city.
I would thoroughly recommend Samyama Fitness to anyone looking to book a yoga retreat :)”
“A good selection of yoga classes for all levels. The retreat is beautiful and well-placed for either relaxing quietly or enjoying all the treats Granada has to offer. Delicious healthy food (but indulgent delights available just down the road like Iberico ham and local wine). Just remember to bring some sensible shoes.”
Holla Janet,
We are so pleased you enjoyed your week with us in Granada. We also love the indulgent delights of Granada and happy that you did to. After all it is a holiday!

“The detox day was such a positive, relaxing environment which gave a varied experience of yoga, Pilates and meditation. The food was healthy and delicious and the workshop was informative, with many ideas I can take back and use in every day life. The venue was beautiful with a lovely feel to it.”
“The one day detox retreat in London was really great. I missed the previous one and so glad they put this one together because of the great response they had. It was great to have the chance to meet Katie and Kunle and learn more about Samyama.
The group on the day was the right size and a good mix of veterans of the Samyama experience and some newbies like myself, plus everyone was so welcoming.
It was nice to meet Lisa and regain the Pilates bug, and who has been super helpful with all my questions for this event and the retreat in Granada - of which I was looking forward to already and meeting others who had been (some several times) made me even more excited for this experience. Carmen is a great teacher and again looking forward to her teachings in Granada.
The Buddhist Centre was the perfect backdrop for our Yoga, Pilates and Meditation - and I liked the informality of the detox discussion and that its all about balance and change for life vs quick cleanse and back to bad habits. I am already into some of the recipes and foresee a Kunle Kookbook in our stockings for Christmas :)
Great event and look forward to whatever else they have in store for 2016

“I had not done much Yoga before and a friend at work suggested Samyama Fitness. We had such a great time and the experience was so much more than I had thought.
We met some lovely people and I really got back into my yoga! Its just a really lovely and relaxing experience from start to finish.”
“Samyama Fitness is a great retreat and a fantastic experience. The villa is simply stunning and words really cannot explain how it feels to stay in such a beautiful location, with such amazing views, it's the perfect mix of tranquil retreat and fun holiday. I would recommend this retreat to anyone.
It was my first retreat and I was a bit nervous but there was not need as everything was perfect. The yoga was suitable for me and took place on a terrace overlooking the Old Town. The staff were amazing as was the food, it was such a great experience that I attending a Samyama 1 day retreat in London which was also amazing and great to meet up with some friends that I made last summer.
I will definitely be going back.”
Jane, it was very nice to see you again at the retreat and we hope that you will be able to visit us again when you finally move to Spain! Exciting
