Join us for a week of incredible yoga with teacher favourite Jane Craggs.

Jane is hosting a week of Svastha Yoga in beautiful Andalucia, Spain. This week of yoga, hill walking, meditation and relax could not be in more beauitiful surroundings.

As UK temperatures plummet, a week of Spanish sunshine from 4th - 11th October is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some autumnal sunshine.

Retreat Centre, Finca Montana sits just inland from the southern Spanish coast, surrounded by forests giving much needed shade and benefiting from sea breezes and the coolness of being 640m altitude.

Yoga will take place in the morning and evening with views to the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, beautiful walks will take in the stunning scenery and bodies will be nourished with delicious, healthy vegetarian cuisine.

Today is Blue Monday. Blue Monday falls on the third Monday of January where apparently we are all at our lowest, following the excitement of Christmas.

There has been a shift in the ethos of Blue Monday where people are now encouraged to do nice things for each other on Blue Monday, making Blue Monday a day of happiness.

So go out and make someone's day. Buy your colleague a coffee, phone your mum or do something for you...

Take some time out to practice yoga. Or better still book a place on a yoga retreat. Our sister company has some amazing teachers lined up this year. Be kind to the world and yourself and let's make Blue Monday the best it can be

Today is the Day of the Eagle. Yoga takes many pose names from the animal world and there is even a pose to honour the mighty Eagle. Garudasana is the eagle pose and Garuda in Sanskrit means a fierce bird of prey. Eagle Pose is all about strength, improving balance and stretches calves and upper back. The pose can help alleviate sciatica and rheumatism so go on strike an eagle pose!

16 October is World Spine Day.

The health of your spine is key to the health of your whole body. Yoga uses poses that can help strengthen the spine to improve mobility and decrease back pain. A yoga practice is intelligently designed so the first movements warm up the all-important 33-stacked bones in the centre of the body offering benefits on the physical level but on the more subtle psychological and energetic levels as well.

If you're a practising yogi or a newcomer to the practice then consider a yoga retreat to help improve an existing practice or kickstart your yoga. Yoga retreats are open to all levels of yogi and can really help develop a practice and demonstrate the many benefits of yoga for the mind, body and soul.Visit vivaretreats.com for information about yoga retreats.
