Mornings in the Andalucían hills, long brunches in the sun, afternoons that are entirely yours, and evenings that finally send you to sleep. Move as much or as little as you like. The point was never the workout. It's the rest.
Always on, never quite present.
You rest, but you don't recover.
You can't remember the last time your head felt properly clear.
Five days where nobody needs a thing from you. Just space to move, breathe, sleep properly, and hear yourself think again.
This was never about getting fit. It's about getting your head straight, and remembering what "off" feels like.
However you're wired, there's a way in. Burn it off or let it go; both roads end up in the same place: a quieter head and a proper night's sleep. Follow one all week, or swap whenever you feel like it.
Charge up with a big outdoor day, then restore with slow, grounded movement. Or do both. Or neither. Nothing is compulsory.
Wake the body before the heat of the day.
Long-table, organic, usually outside in the sun.
Pool, hammocks in the orange groves, snacks whenever you fancy, a book in the shade, or book a massage.
Hike, explore, or a cold plunge in the waterfall.
Some afternoons we gather, after the hills when everyone's loosened up, for some games, connection or a workshop. Come if you fancy it.
Everyone back to the table together.
Yin and Yoga Nidra by the fire, so you actually sleep.
Just an example, no two days are the same. The shape shifts with the group, the weather and how everyone's feeling, and there's always more space than schedule.
The hills behind the finca
Your bed for the week at Tierra Cósmica, a stone finca in the Andalucían hills.
Both tracks, every day: push, restore, or a bit of both.
Organic, locally grown, cooked fresh and shared every day, plus snacks and refreshments throughout.
Trail runs, hill hikes and wild swims with Sami.
Pool, hammocks in the orange groves, gardens and fireside evenings.
Evening yin and nidra, plus real space to do nothing at all.
Airport transfers are included for everyone arriving around the same time. Not included: flights and massage treatments (bookable on site, paid direct).
A restored finca in the hills of Andalucía, with stone walls, olive groves, a pool, and a fire to gather round when the sun drops.
For years I ran on pure adrenaline, three jobs, two businesses, and I'd feel guilty taking a rest day even on holiday. I'd land somewhere beautiful and spend the first few days ill or flat out asleep, because that was the only way my body could force me to stop. Yoga was where I first learned to switch off on purpose rather than collapse, and it wasn't the stretching that hooked me, it was the headspace. Since I made room for it, I'm stronger, I've got more energy, and I actually come home from a trip feeling better instead of wrecked. This is the holiday I wish I'd known to take years ago.
Exploring is where I really switch off, my phone and my brain, and reset. Getting deep into nature and out on a long hike gives me a proper dopamine hit, and it's when my ideas, motivation and gratitude all come flooding back. I run a gym, so all week I'm holding everyone else's energy, and nature is the one place my mind actually goes quiet. That's exactly what I want to give people here, the active days that leave you charged instead of sluggish, and the kind of reset you can't get without stepping right out of normal life.
One of the biggest worries people have about booking a retreat is whether they'll know anyone. The truth is, most people arrive feeling exactly the same.
What starts as shared meals quickly becomes shared stories, and conversation that goes well beyond small talk. Strangers become the people you're laughing with by the pool, exploring villages with, and still texting long after the retreat ends.
If you're after a small group of like-minded people who value movement, rest and real connection, you'll fit right in.
This isn't five good days and then straight back to frazzled. You go home with a few simple things to keep it going: a daily breath practice for your head and your training, a short mobility routine you can actually fit into a normal week, and some easy healthy habits that stick. Plus a little goody bag and some healthy bits to see you off.
Just 13 places, and they're already starting to go.
Your place covers all five days: every meal, every session on both tracks, guided hikes, runs and wild swims, airport transfers, the tools to take home, and two coaches for just thirteen of you. Everything but your flights and the odd massage.
Most people do. Book a twin with someone you know, share a room, and you'll each get a complimentary massage on us, plus a little something on arrival. The easiest way in, and you both save the worry of who you're rooming with.

In their words
The only time of the week my mind just totally switches off.

"Daisy has worked wonders with this very old and stiff body. I'm doing things I never thought possible."
"HOP is the first place that actually lives up to 'non-intimidating.' The coaches genuinely care and really know their stuff. It values people as much as performance."
"I always feel great after a session and look forward to the next one. Do it, you won't regret it."
"The coaches are so supportive, and I love the structure. It leaves me feeling stronger by the day."

Thirteen places. Five days. One clear head, and how you get there is entirely up to you.
