Join Jessie Chapman and our experienced facilitators for a yoga and hiking adventure in the Picos de Europa, one of northern Spain’s most dramatic mountain ranges. Set in the lush green landscapes of Asturias, the retreat is surrounded by towering limestone peaks, deep river gorges, and alpine trails offering some of the most spectacular hiking in Spain.
Each day begins with yoga before setting out on guided hikes through mountain passes, forests, and traditional villages, with our local Asturian guides sharing the natural history and stories of the region. Afternoons bring a slower rhythm – the Finnish sauna, a mountain-view pool, and restorative yoga – before relaxed shared dinners and evenings together in this dramatic alpine setting.
Jessie’s yoga classes cater to all levels – from complete beginners to experienced practitioners – with plenty of personalised guidance and adjustments throughout. This is a small group retreat where everyone is well looked after by Jessie and our knowledgeable local guides.

Yoga, Resotation & Stillness
Each day on our yoga retreat Spain is centred around morning and afternoon yoga, combined with guided hiking through breathtaking mountain landscapes. Classes are suitable for yoga beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, with an abundance of guidance from Jessie and facilitators throughout.
Jessie’s morning yoga classes combine gentle flowing sequences with breath awareness, along with holding postures longer to cultivate alignment, flexibility, and strength. Whether you’re looking for a more dynamic practice or to move gently and restore deeply, each class meets you where you are, with variations and modifications for different energy levels and needs. Afternoon classes are restorative yoga to gently stretch out after the day’s hiking and to deeply relax, slow the body’s systems, and replenish natural energy levels. Yoga props are used and guests receive an abundance of guidance and adjustments from Jessie and facilitators. Evening classes include yoga nidra and pranayama, guided relaxation and breathing before bed to promote deep, restful sleep.
Jessie and facilitators bring a deep love of yoga and care for each guest’s practice, meeting everyone where they are and ensuring everyone feels supported and well looked after throughout the retreat.
Getting There, Arrival & Departure
Arrival Day
Our journey begins in Oviedo, the capital of Asturias and the starting point of the Camino Primitivo on the Camino de Santiago. Our group pick-up on Day One is 5:00 pm at Oviedo Bus Station, next door to the train station and right in the town centre. If flying into Oviedo (Asturias Airport), buses run on the hour from the airport to the bus station. Once you’ve arrived at the retreat there will be time to settle in before our first group yoga class and welcome dinner.
Departure Day
On the last day yoga finishes early, followed by breakfast and a return drop-off to Oviedo Bus Station by 10:00 am. If you have an earlier flight, a private transfer can be booked at an extra cost.
Extra Nights
We suggest arriving in Oviedo a day or two before the retreat begins and staying at Hotel Fruela, in a central location in the beautiful old part of the city. There is so much to see in Oviedo, with the cathedral marking the start point for the Camino Primitivo on the Camino de Santiago walk.

The hiking and scenery is incredible, and the intensity of the daily yoga helped me make some real gains.
