This retreat is for lovers of the original hot yoga 26&2 series. You’ll have the opportunity to dive into your practice through 1–2 daily classes alongside yin yoga, e84 Intermediate classes and posture clinics. At the same time, everything is optional, allowing you to either fully immerse in the rhythm of daily practice or take a slower, more relaxed approach that suits your pace. Beginners to hot yoga are welcome!
YOGA INFO
1-2 daily 26&2 hot yoga classes will be offered at this retreat in addition to other sessions such as yin yoga, the e84 Intermediate class, Jedi training, and posture clinics. D’Alijo has a purpose built hot room as well as a mountaintop studio that we’ll use for meditation. Choose to attend both daily classes for a more “bootcamp” experience, or pick and choose your sessions for a more relaxed pace.
ACCOMMODATION
All rooms are just a few minutes’ walk from the yoga room. D’Alijo is situated on three hectares of rolling hills and terraced land, complete with an olive grove. It consists of a main house with five bedrooms, five wooden chalet-style rooms with outdoor verandas, and three deluxe chalets (did we mention there is a custom-built hot room?!). There is also a heated swimming pool, hiking trails on-site, and the compound is surrounded by beautiful countryside and evergreen mountains. Check out more images here!
ACTIVITIES

These excursions are optional, as many people prefer to come and simply retreat into the nature at D’Alijo. They can also can also be arranged based on group interest for an extra cost. There are numerous hiking trails, one of which leads to a swimming hole and another to the onsite pool! Massages and other bodywork treatments are available at an extra cost.
