Prenatal Yoga & Meditation Retreat in the Andalusian Mountains

The retreat runs over four nights and five days at Ananda Forest, a private, secluded property near the village of Órgiva in Andalusia. Mornings begin with a 90-minute prenatal yoga and meditation session, held in a beautiful wooden temple built between old olive trees and jasmine flowers. The temple has a transparent screen to keep bugs out while letting in a natural breeze and the view of the landscape. After breakfast, there's time to rest or read before a workshop in the early afternoon, which might be led by the midwife or cover topics like birth preparation or postpartum care. One afternoon includes a gentle hike to a nearby waterfall. Later there's a second practice — yoga nidra, meditation, or a creative activity — and the day ends with dinner and a sharing circle or ritual.

The midwife offers two or three classes during the retreat, sharing knowledge that's often overlooked: emotional and physical birth preparation, what to expect during labor, and why postpartum self-care matters. She speaks from a natural, traditional perspective, with the aim of building trust in your body's ability to give birth and heal. The yoga teacher, Paulina, has studied meditation and yoga for over a decade, including a 500-hour training in Hridaya, Mexico, and has led many retreats herself.

The property itself is a food forest — ancient olive trees, fruit trees, and wild animals live on the land. There are several terraces, each with its own character, plus artistic hot showers and a deck. The retreat accommodates five to eight guests, so the feel is intimate. Most women come alone, but partners are welcome to stay at the property even if they don't join the classes. It's a simple, honest place — one guest said it made her feel that pregnancy is something sacred.
