Learn to cultivate
- A deeper connection to self
- A calm and regulated nervous system
- Strength, resilience, and inner steadiness
- A more relaxed and nourishing breath
- A felt sense of presence and aliveness
An opportunity to slow down, come home to yourself, and remember what has been here all along,
Please be advised, this is a practice in embodying slow, mindful movement and breath awareness with ease.
This will neither look nor feel like a 'regular' yoga class.
Most of the practice is done lying down, and there is no ideal 'form' or 'shape' to perfect.

7-Night Sacred Yoga & Meditation Retreat
This seven-night retreat is an offering of stillness and care — a place to soften, exhale, and rest deeply into yourself.
Held gently within the stunning & unique volcanic landscape of Lanzarote, it invites a gradual unwinding into peace, simplicity, and quiet presence.
Each day is shaped by two carefully curated practices (Gentle Hatha, Somatic & Womb Yoga), Meditation, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Chanting, and Satsang, shared as the sun rises, and at sunset.
Practices are slow, nurturing, and intuitive, honouring the body as it is and welcoming the wisdom that arises in quiet moments.
There is generous space between sessions to move at your own rhythm. You may feel drawn to soothing spa options, walking, resting by the pool, or ocean swims, allowing the elements to support your return to balance and ease.
This retreat is curated for mature yoginis and or those who wish to move with kindness, patience, and reverence for the body, offering a sanctuary of deep rest, and subtle spiritual nourishment — where nothing is required, and everything is welcomed.
Serenity & Sunshine in Lanzarote
Morning Practice
Morning Practice
Each morning at sunrise, guests are invited to a gentle, grounding yoga practice. The sessions blend Hatha Yoga, Well Woman Womb Yoga, Somatic Yoga, and elements of dance and free movement.
Practices are held by the pool or on the balcony, weather permitting. All movement is accessible and nurturing, with no extreme postures. Guidance is offered in a way that supports listening to the body and moving with ease.
Some prior experience with yoga asana is helpful.
Evening Practice
Morning Practice
At sunset, we enter a period of inner practice through guided meditation, soothing breathwork & pranayama, sounding / voicework & chanting, or a harmonious combination of these, preparing ourselves for the evening meal.
Japa Mala Practice
The rhythmic, meditative chanting of mantras using 108 beads is a deeply grounding practice that soothes the nervous system and quiets the mind. By anchoring attention through repetition and rhythm, it invites a profound sense of calm, easing stress and encouraging deep relaxation. Over time, the practice enhances focus, nurtures positive emotional states, supports more restful sleep, and fosters greater mental clarity and spiritual connection. It also offers a powerful way to soften habitual thought patterns and strengthen the mind’s capacity for presence and intention.
Please bring a mala with you
