“Thank you so much Jo and Dom. Fabulous retreat.
You really are the best in the business.” Soph
We are delighted to announce we are running two retreats per year in Costa Blanca, Spain. We have found a delightful boutique hotel which offers comfort and style, and is situated in a quiet valley just outside a market town surrounded by stunning mountains.
“From the moment I stepped through the entrance I knew this was going to be something special. Fabulous venue, beautiful countryside, and Jo and Dom are experts in running and catering for retreats. Jo’s meditation and yoga sessions were brilliant and Dom’s varied and delicious vegan meals were tasty and satisfying for vegans and non-vegans alike. Our timetable allowed time for rest periods, swimming, chatting, chilling and yoga sessions were suitable for all levels of capability and held outside, weather permitting. I leave feeling restored, more healthy, nurtured and energised. And I’ll be back! Thank you Jo and Dom, it’s been a wonderful week” Gillian

“Delighted to see my two favourite retreat organisers loving life in Alicante and finally holding a retreat in their new destination. It felt like a return to home for me! All the things that were missing for me were there before my eyes; incredible food, yoga, old and new friends, laughter, and finally my own inner peace. Many thanks and can’t wait to return.” Annette
Meet Your Hosts
Jo and Dominic De Rosa have been running retreats since 2011 and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. The pair hosted hundreds of retreats at their centre in Lavenham, Suffolk, UK between 2013 and 2020, and now bring their expertise to sunny Spain and are mentoring those that would like to begin a retreat business.
Jo works the physical body into alignment via yoga (see more information below), with Dominic first growing much of the food and then preparing it for all your meals. On an energetic level Jo’s guided meditations have supported thousands of people globally, over more than two decades, to transcend mediocrity and addiction, whilst as a professional musician Dominic knows how to release blockages through the vibration of the gong.

Jo began teaching yoga and meditation on 6th January 2001 in Bophut, Koh Samui, Thailand where she had a studio (on the roof overlooking Koh Phan-gnan) and clothes shop. She trained in both Thailand and India, and then moved back to the UK where she had studios in North London, Hertfordshire and then Inner Guidance Retreat Centre, Lavenham, Suffolk. It is from there that Jo upped sticks with her husband Dominic and their pets and moved to Spain, where they live off-grid and as self-sufficiently as possible in the forest and mountains of Costa Blanca.
The yoga has come full circle because Jo is once again teaching from her roof, as she started off in Thailand more than 23 years ago
