MANA YOGA
Yoga days in an almond valley
An almond valley, a 1652 farmhouse and a retreat group capped at eight give MANA Yoga a distinctly personal feel. Hosted by founder Maddalena Oliva at family-run Es Cucons, the retreats bring together Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga, with practices shaped around embodiment and individual needs. The setting is Santa Agnès, where the restored farmhouse pairs historic character with art, design and a pool, sauna and spa. Days include yoga, a vegetarian breakfast featuring Ibizan specialties and homemade products, and a vegetarian dinner; water and lemon tea are also available. It is a thoughtful choice for travellers who want a small-group yoga stay rather than a large resort programme, with time to settle into the rural surroundings between sessions. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at EUR240. Ask MANA Yoga about specific dates, what each package includes and whether dietary needs can be accommodated.

Setting
Es Cucons sits among the almond trees of Santa Agnès, in a rural part of Ibiza with a calm, unhurried feel. Its 1652 farmhouse has been reformed with art and design in mind, while a pool, sauna and spa add space to unwind between yoga sessions.
The practice
The programme combines Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga. Hatha offers a measured approach to postures, Vinyasa links movement with breath, and Yin uses longer-held poses for a slower practice. Maddalena Oliva describes the work in terms of embodiment and alignment, and sessions are tailored to the small retreat group. Beginners can ask the host which dates or sessions best suit their experience.
A typical day
Daily yoga is paired with a vegetarian breakfast served at 10:00 am and a vegetarian dinner in the evening. Water and lemon tea are available during the day, with time between practices to enjoy the hotel or its surroundings. The exact session times and daily rhythm vary by retreat, so check the schedule for your dates.
