New holistic holiday company Hip Yoga combines fitness with ultimate pampering

Have you ever felt guilty on holiday that the only exercise you’re doing is lifting
a large mojito to your mouth? But then the thought of a fitness holiday fills you
with the fear of strict timetables and a lack of pampering. Ever wanted to find a
comprise that offered you ultimate luxury whilst enabling you to come home a stone
lighter?

Well now there’s a solution to all of these problems.

Welcome to Hip Yoga - a new concept in the world of holistic holidays.  We take yoga
out of the realm of basic locations and punishing schedules, and into an environment
where pampering and indulgence are just as important as health and detox.

Hip Yoga combines instruction from some of the country’s best teachers including
Jean Hall, with first-class healthy gastronomy from Madonna’s former chef Lauren
Palmer. Guests will also be spoilt with complimentary toiletries and beauty products
from our friends at Kiehl’s and Shu Uemura.

This deeply rejuvenating retreat takes place within the beautiful surroundings and
unique ambience of our venue Molino Bajo.

As featured in Conde Nast Traveller May 2004 ‘10 Great Villas in Spain’, Molino Bajo
is a luxuriously and stylishly converted olive mill set in the idyllic setting of
the foothills of Andalucia’s spectacular mountain range, the Sierra Nevada. It has
been designed with a heavy Moorish/Moroccan influence yet the house retains many of
the original features from its milling past.

With the truly dramatic background of the snow-capped peaks shadowing sleepy,
white-washed villages set amongst the citrus, almond and olive groves, Molino Bajo
is the ultimate chill-out retreat in the most tranquil of locations.

Throughout their stay guests will be treated to mouth watering food that also
promotes wellbeing and increases stamina, created by celebrity chef Lauren Palmer.
For Hip Yoga guests she has built a menu that will help us to send you home lighter
and happier. All food is wheat, dairy and sugar free and will be the tastiest you
have eaten in a long time.
