The Retreat:

Sometimes we need more than a vacation. We need space: space to step away from the noise, to listen to ourselves again, to remember what we want, and to imagine who we are becoming next.

Join us for six days in the wild beauty of southern Spain. Andalusian Dreams is a small, personal retreat for yoga, meditation, manifestation, connection and intentional living, set in the cork oak forests of Andalusia at Rancho Los Lobos.

What to Expect

Yoga

Soulful Forrest Yoga practices in an open-air shala, designed to bring you into your body, deepen your breath and reconnect you with your strength and intuition.

Meditation

Meditation as a tool for co-creation. Some sittings are simple and grounding; others go deeper into visioning, gratitude, receiving and possibility.

Manifestation

More than a wish list: becoming energetically aligned with the life you want, through guided exercises, journaling and conversation.

Hiking

Daily walks through Los Alcornocales, Spain's largest cork oak forest, and the historic white village of Jimena de la Frontera.

Nourishment with Heart

Chef and owner Karl cooks beautiful regional dishes from organic ingredients, mostly vegetarian and vegan. For Karl, food is an expression of love, and you can taste it in every meal.

Slow Down & Disconnect

There is, intentionally, no Wi‑Fi. Put the phone down and be fully present among ancient cork oaks, gardens and the animals who call the Rancho home.

A Day at the Rancho

No endless notifications. No rushing. No pressure to accomplish anything. Just this.

Dawn — Waking Slowly

Wake to the quiet of the Andalusian countryside.

Morning — Practice

Move in an open-air yoga shala surrounded by nature, then sit in meditation while the world is still.

Midday — The Long Table

Gather for beautiful food and even better conversation.

Afternoon — Free Time

Swim, read beneath the trees, explore, journal, nap, or do absolutely nothing.

Late Afternoon — Workshop

Come back together for a workshop, meditation or practice.

Evening — Golden Hour

Watch the light change over the Spanish hills, then go to sleep knowing there is nowhere else you need to be.

The rhythm may shift with the weather and the group's energy. Trust that everything will unfold as it's meant to.

Meet Your Retreat Leaders

Roger and Albina Rippy

Roger & Albina Rippy

Roger and Albina are lifelong entrepreneurs, success coaches, longtime Forrest Yoga teachers and retreat leaders. They co-founded YogaOne Studios, which grew to seven studios before being acquired by YogaWorks, and owned Blue Sky Retreat Center in Taos, New Mexico.

Their retreats are intentionally small and personal. They feel less like a program and more like traveling with a community of friends who come together to practice, explore, laugh, connect and grow.
