Our yoga holiday on the Canary Islands invites you to discover the art of classical hatha yoga.

Each session is carefully tailored to your individual needs to increase your flexibility, promote inner peace and improve your well-being.
Immerse yourself in the tranquillity and beauty of La Palma while experiencing the transformative power of yoga in a supportive and inspiring environment. Our retreats are not just a retreat from everyday life, but a journey to inner renewal and connection with nature.
We are happy to consider your personal wishes and needs in order to organise your yoga holiday in the best possible way.
You can choose from the following retreats:
Classical Hatha Yoga is a spiritual path from India that serves the personal development of body, mind and soul.
Translated, yoga means “union” and, unlike religions, is non-denominational and non-dogmatic. Whether you meditate on a flower or a Star of David, an Indian mantra or “Allah Akbar” is irrelevant, as the divine reveals itself in many different ways.
By consciously stretching, strengthening and relaxing the body, the mind comes to rest. In this way, we can gain a sense of that state of inner peace that is our true nature.
The yoga that we practicehere on La Palma – Canary Islands is adapted to the western lifestyle and deals with 5 basic principles: Proper nutrition, physical exercises (asanas), conscious breathing, relaxation and meditation.
The 5 pillars of yoga are:
A vegan/vegetarian diet consisting of natural foods such as fruit, vegetables and grains etc. is a prerequisite for practising yoga, as it keeps the body slim and flexible, gives it sufficient resistance to illness and clears the mind to make it receptive to the practice of yoga.
As the Canary Islands offer local, fresh fruit and vegetables all year round, the combination of yoga and the Canary Islands is ideal 😉
Everyone can practise yoga asanas, from children to senior citizens. The yoga postures can keep muscles and joints supple, strengthen the internal organs and boost circulation without causing fatigue. Conscious breathing and concentration on the body are essential components of an asana .
For those who are not able to perform the classical asanas, we also offer therapeutic yoga in our “Yoga Retreats Canary Islands”, in which we have the opportunity to specifically address musculoskeletal complaints .
Mastering the art of relaxation is the key to health and inner peace, because deep relaxation builds up the whole being and awakens our energy reserves.
Relaxing physically and mentally during yoga means detaching from the material and merging with your true self.
The peaceful atmosphere of the Canary Islands and La Palma in particular will help you, you from your everyday worries during your yoga holiday and immerse yourself in a relaxed consciousness.
Pranayama, the yoga teaching of breath control, brings more oxygen into the blood and thus to the brain. The breathing exercises can stimulate the life energy (prana), which refreshes and vitalises us.
Various techniques are used to harmonise female and male energies, whereby the spiritual predominates and the physical recedes into the background. Since the mental state is reflected in the breath, it follows that by controlling the breath we also learn to control our mind, which in turn benefits us in the yoga techniques of concentration and meditation.
The fresh and clear air in the mountains of La Palma helps you to free your mind from old thought patterns during the yogic breathing exercises.
The mind has a tendency to wander restlessly; it likes to occupy itself with the past and the future, avoiding the present. Simple and efficient yoga concentration exercises can help us to calm the mind.
We have thus created the basis for meditation, in which we experience that state of inner peace that constitutes our true nature. One form of concentration/meditation is “mantra singing”, where meditative spiritual prayers are repeated.
In bhakti yoga, melodious praises of the divine are sung with devotion and ecstasy.
On request , we offer this type of meditative singing in all our Wellness, detox and yoga retreats on the Canary Islands.
During your yoga eco retreat on the Canary Islands, you can also be initiated into the various layers of yogic philosophy if you wish.
The highest consciousness in yoga is “samadhi” – a state beyond time, space and causality, where body and mind are transcended and perfect unity prevails.
According to the yoga view, every living being carries a spark of the divine within itself. However, this light is covered by countless layers, such as pain, fear, anger and the illusion of three-dimensional perception. The aim of yoga is to lift these veils and merge with our true nature.
There are countless types of yoga:
Karma-, Bhakti-, Jnana-, Raja-, Ashtanga- and Hatha-Yoga are just a few of them; but any path that is practiced with devotion, concentration and perseverance can lead to the goal.
For all those interested in “Yoga Retreats Canary Islands”, individual or group yoga lessons for beginners and advanced practitioners can also be arranged on request.
Therapeutic yoga is a healing practice for people who are unable to practise classical hatha yoga for health reasons. When practising therapeutic yoga on the Canary Islands, we emphasise controlled breathing in order to consciously perceive body and mind.
Based on our many years of experience, we have put together various therapeutic physical exercises in such a way that they can be used holistically and individually for almost all health problems. With the help of special stretching exercises, it is possible to alleviate pain in the musculoskeletal system. Certain exercises from “Pilates” and the “5 Tibetans” promote strength and flexibility so that you can then practise classic yoga asanas. Furthermore, so-called “Joints Rolling”, which is also used in Thai Chi, can release blockages and deposits from the joints.
Which exercises are best suited to each person, will be determined in a brief consultation here on site in the Canary Islands.
(The functionality and effectiveness of this offer has not yet been proven or recognised by conventional medicine).
