Description
Hi, I’m Brenda, an Iyengar Yoga teacher living in the Alpujarras, just a 10-minute walk from the alternative town of Órgiva. I share my unique wooden home with two cats and two dogs.
On the land, there’s a hand-crafted wooden yurt and an open-air yoga platform with views of the Lújar Mountains. This is where I offer Iyengar Yoga sessions and aromatherapy massage.
I’ve been living in the area for over 30 years. If you enjoy peace,tranquility and living close to alternative communities, this is the place for you.
PLEASE NOTE I M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR HOUSE SITTER FOR NOVEMBER-DECEMBER.
I will be away from November 11th to December 13th.
I m looking for someone to take care of my living space and pets.
I d like the person to arrive a few days before my departure so I can show them what they need to know.
If necessary, some neighbours will be available in this event of difficulties.
I will leave their contact details.
The person(s) must be available for at least one month or more.
The placement would be better for one or two people their know each either.
Two friends or a couple.
It’s very quiet and safe place with little distractions nearby. So if you come alone you have to enjoy your own solitude.
I need someone reliable and who loves animals. I have four adorable four-legged friends, two small dogs and two cats.
They need to be fed and walked minimum twice a day.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Please write to me in English. Thank you.
