Retreat with me...
to southern Spain!
November 8th-14th, 2026
This is your invitation to reconnect, recharge, and radiate in the beautiful sun soaked mountains of southern Spain.
Join Grace Millsap and special guests for Here Comes the Sun at the stunning Lucia Yoga Center located on the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Reserve.
Let's get away to the sun-drenched mountains of southern Spain, where time slows down and the rhythm of nature takes over.
Are you READY?
For an unforgettable adventure of movement, stillness, and connection in one of Spain’s most stunning natural settings. Whether you're craving clarity, community, or just a break — you’ll find it here, under the Spanish sun.
Our day begins with sunlight spilling through olive trees and a morning flow designed to awaken your body, heart, and mind. We will spend our days immersed in the natural surroundings of the Andalusia mountains with several included excursions to learn more about Spanish culture and customs. We will also offer several restorative yoga classes in the evenings to wind down, and a few fun (and informative) workshops interspersed throughout our time together. And of course...we will indulge our senses with delicious Mediterranean inspired meals
Unplug. Unwind. And rediscover the joy that lives in your bones.

What Folks Have to Say...
"This yoga retreat was so special and magical. The thoughtfulness showed through the diversity of teachings, knowledge shared and their respect and love for all living things. ... I am so grateful for this experience, to take a pause , to laugh, to cry, to be, to connect with other beautiful souls on their own spiritual evolution and gain a deeper connection with myself. Thank you and much love!"
"The retreat was one of the best weeks of my life!!! I think the fact that I got my physical, spiritual and mental health needs all met at once in fascinating and effective ways was just so far beyond anything I could’ve expected or asked for. To say I feel “fully recharged” wouldn’t capture it. I feel energetically charged and deeply inspired far past where I was before. I also completely trusted everyone in the group and really benefited from having open-hearted conversations which absolutely heightened my experience. Thank you forever, Grace!"
"Thank you Grace for bringing me on this adventure with you! The experience were beautifully crafted and I have gained friends for life. The retreat was healing for me and I am going back home recalibrated and ready to share my love with the world."
"Truly amazing time. I found a grounding and a re-centering of my soul and consciousness. The workshop helped me grow as a person and feel more confident about who I am and how I live my life. Living from the heart can be scary, but also deeply rewarding."
"Every detail of the trip was handled gracefully from the moment we landed at the airport to our departure. It was so nice to be able to come on vacation without having to plan out much of anything. You could tell they put a lot of hard work and consideration into planning this trip & I feel so grateful to have been a part of it."
"The amount of love and planning that went into this retreat was so obvious. i appreciated all of the different forms of yoga we practiced, as well as gaining an understanding of the local culture. I swam in a waterfall, did yoga on the beach as the sun rose, pet some local puppies, rode horses as the sun set and I made friends that i hope to have for a lifetime. The past few years have been hard for almost all of the world, and what a gift to find some healing surrounded by such beauty and love."
My experience was life changing because I opened my heart to the Sacred Valley and because of the care, for-thought, and leadership of Grace, whom brought together a group of kindred spirits. Each yoga practice was intentional and accessible. The excursions chosen perfect, the food delightful, and the memories are just absolutely priceless.
"She found a great resort in a beautiful location. Travel to and from the resort was taken care of. They were quick to respond to my emails leading up to the trip. The accommodations were very comfortable, and I felt connected to nature while we were there. The food was fantastic. Twice daily yoga classes in a variety of styles, and they imparted a lot of intention and themes into our practice. The experience was healing. Fantastic job of balancing activities with free time, and there were several fun activities / excursions. Overall the trip was great - checked all the boxes!"
This was “Summer Camp 2025” at Selva Armonia: a week steeped in beauty, connection, and the lush backdrop of the Costa Rican jungle. As a 250-pound aspiring bodybuilder with the flexibility of a steel beam, yoga is… well, a challenge. Yet I never once felt out of place. The community Grace has cultivated is one of warmth and welcome—where encouragement replaces judgment, and everyone feels seen. Great people, great vibes!
There’s not a single thing I’d change about my first yoga retreat. Grace curated a perfect week of unforgettable excursions (whale watching was definitely a highlight), varied yoga practices, plenty of downtime, and just as much playtime. This week in the Costa Rican jungle was the purest embodiment of Pura Vida.
