The Location
The Tai Chi Retreat is based at the Los Limoneros Hotel and Complementary Therapy Centre; situated just outside of Pizarra, 8 kilometres from Alora and 40 kilometres from Malaga. The Posada Los Limoneros is ideal for discovering the inland areas of this attractive part of Andalucia.
Formerly an old farmhouse, barn and hayloft, the property has been tastefully combined and renovated and is now operating as a small, intimate rural hotel.
Accommodation is themed and the hotel specialises in traditional Spanish cuisine using fresh, locally grown produce.
Guests with specific dietary needs can also be catered for, please inform us when booking. Whilst breakfast is included with your accommodation, all other meals are available on request and are served in the traditional dining room or, in the summer, outside on the terrace overlooking the garden and pool.
Yoga, meditation, life coaching, Reiki and other complimentary therapies are on offer.
The hotel boasts a dedicated ‘training pad’ which provides a wonderful, relaxed setting for learning Tai Chi.
How is the Training Organised?
Each session will begin with gentle, low impact warming up exercises and you will be guided through the forms and postures of yang style tai chi at a pace to suit your own learning style and level of fitness.
Depending on the number of students and personal preferences, training will be based on either small group or one-to-one tuition and can be customized to suit individual development and interest.
In addition to the yang style tai chi training, you will also be taught Qui Gong; a form of moving meditation which exercises all the joints of the body and moves chi (life-energy) through the channels of your body to promote health and longevity. This also helps to alleviate stress and aids in the healing process.
You will be taught how to breathe correctly and learn the simple mechanics of body posture and balance.
