"Amazing horse yoga retreat at Grazalema nature park with Mia"
I had a wonderful retreat experience that allowed me to grow and learn so much about myself.
What I loved about the retreat:
- Mia’s Hosting: Mia is incredibly prepared and flexible. She goes above and beyond to accommodate any request, ensuring a seamless experience.
- Insightful Coaching Sessions: Mia’s coaching was transformative. Her insights helped me navigate my inner challenges, and she provided practical tools to address my issues. I left feeling more integrated and empowered.
- Sound Bath Sessions: These deeply relaxing sessions took me on transformative spiritual journeys, which were unforgettable highlights.
- Horse Riding: Exploring the nature park on two peaceful rides was an incredible experience. The horses were gentle, clean, and easy to ride, making it both fun and immersive.
- The Property: Surrounded by lush greenery, sheep, and horses, the property is a tranquil escape from daily life, perfect for self-reflection and relaxation.
- Meaningful Connections: Meeting other interesting guests added depth to my experience. Engaging in conversations led to unexpected and valuable insights.
This retreat was truly a gift to myself, and I’m so grateful for the experience.

"Not just a horse riding retreat"
Turned out I was the only one on the retreat so I got to have Mia all to myself and a whole villa to myself! I learned a lot in 5 days, not just about horses or riding but about me, and that was unexpected, but not unwelcome. Oh and I loved Pinky! He was such a beautiful creature and I miss him already.
Mia kept me well fed on excellent fresh food and well nourished spiritually as well. I came away with a lot more than than I anticipated and I had an absolute cracker of a time!

"Horse riding and yoga - and so much more"
Villa Rosa is a pearl . The house is a beautiful spacious , well kept Spanish house located in the region of Alhaurin, surrounded by orange orchards and mountainous views. It facilitates the perfect setting for amongst other things, yoga sessions, drawing, painting, or just chilling.
Mia and her team offer so much more than "just" riding and yoga - for me, they opened a world of opportunities and clarity, for which I am truly grateful for. They helped build and provide a programme that suited my needs/wishes. They are warm, friendly, and open-minded, supportive, professional and great fun to be with. I had three different yoga teachers during my stay - each provided something different, each excellent in instructing. Both body and soul were nourished - meals were delicious honest homemade cooking.
I had riding lessons with David Rodriguez - a talented instructor who understands how to teach, and has a total understanding of both horse and rider. David has given me the confidence and motivation to continue to ride.

"Fantastic ridning holiday"
I had a Fantastic holiday. Mia was an excellent instructor, both as a riding instructor and as mental coach. I spent many hours with her horses ,both riding and working from the ground. I also got to ride passage and spanish walk.
I feel that I improved my riding a lot.
The horses where very welltrained and very lovely to handle.
The food was excellent as well as the accomodation.
I can really recommend this riding holiday and hope I can get back some day.

"An escape into yourself "
Mia is so much more than a horse trainer. She organized the perfect experience for me and my 9y old daughter. She offered wisdom and guidance into our lives all while effortlessly making delicious food and a relaxing vacation. Her house is pristine, nestled in the gorgeous hills and only a five minute walk from the horse stable. Whether you are coming to Mia for dressage lessons, meditation, healthy food, parenting lessons, or an escape you will find exactly what you need.

"Insightful and Revitalizing"
The experience was beyond horse riding. It was a universe orchestrated encounter on the journey of the unfoldment of true self. Mia is an angel who is very intuitive and acts as a vehicle for insights. The horse riding served as an outlet to exercise life lessons.

"Perfekter Urlaub!"
Ich habe die 5 Tage in Malaga mit Mia sehr genossen! Es war eine perfekte Mischung aus Entspannung und Spaß. Mia ist sehr flexibel und man kann mit ihr individuell den Ablauf des Urlaubs sowie die Aktivitäten (zB mehr Yoga als Reiten oder vice versa) besprechen.
Der Ort ist auch sehr schön, hat viele Restaurants und Bars und einen tollen Strand. Die Arbeit mit den Pferden von Mia ist sehr angenehm und lehrreich und konzentriert sich vor allem auf die Kommunikation, was man auch allgemein im Leben anwenden kann.
Mein absolutes Highlight war der Strandritt bei Sonnenaufgang. Alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Urlaub und wirklich empfehlenswert!

"A unique experience"
This trip turned out to be so much more than we expected! We had a private room and the instructor Mia adapted to our schedule and what we were interested in. The site is absolutely amazing - you even hear peacocks in the mountain! The horses were amazingly adorable, soft and sweet even - very safe for kids.
Mia teaches dressage approach considering the person's energy and personnality. We felt we got closer to the horses every day. All my fears are gone! Thank you so much for this wonderful vacation.

"Fantastic riding holiday "
An extraordinary experience with very professional training, not only to improve my riding skill but also know myself better. Mia is a very experienced trainer who know everything about horse riding and horse training inside out.
I, together with my friend, are very grateful to be able to get trained here and have enjoyed the very peaceful environment. The horses are very well trained and intelligent. Accommodation is cosy.
We wish to extend our big thank you to Mia because she has prepared very delicious Asian meals (Sushi, stir-fried rice noodles and rice) especially for us. She is also a very good host just to ensure every guests in her place stay happy (e.g. help searching/ booking of the authentic flamenco show nearby) and have fun.
This is the place you definitely want to visit if you love horses, want to improve your skills from riding to ground work. I have no hesitation to recommend this to my friends and hope can come back very soon.

Working with horses on the ground was new to me and I found this experience very rewarding. I loved learning about natural horsemanship methods, the seven games and how horses live in the wild. Working with Mia and the horses also gave me great insight to my own strengths and weaknesses and how I interact with other people. It was quite a journey over four days! Food was fantastic and Mia was very accommodating taking me into Malaga and Torremolinos when I fancied a change of scene. My horse riding has improved tremendously after spending such a short period of time with Mia. The smallest of adjustments have made all the difference.

"enlightening equine break"
I expected a standard riding holiday but this was totally different. Mia is clearly an amazing horsewoman but is also looking at clients as people and helping with their life skills.
