Through our almost 30 years of practicing yoga and several long stays in India, the cradle of yoga, yoga has become an important part of our lives. Thanks to these experiences , we were able to create a holistic yoga retreat, where we cater to your individual needs. This means that our yoga retreats on the Canary Islands are suitable for everyone, for younger and older people, for beginners or advanced practitioners. Competent supervision during your yoga retreat on La Palma is guaranteed.
As we will not be hosting any other guests during your yoga retreat on the Canaries, we have the time and the opportunity to adapt to your individual wishes and previous knowledge in a very sensitive way; This makes us very different from yoga retreats that are offered for groups. You will receive our full attention. This makes it easier to make corrections to the asanas and breathing exercises.
The special and unique thing about our yoga retreats in the Canary Islands is our lovingly landscaped flower oasis with sea views and its secluded location. Our wild and romantic valley offers a protected and meditative setting in which to devote yourself intensively to the teachings of yoga. The daily yoga sessions take place on our beautifully situated yoga meadow with an idyllic view of our oasis “VIDYAMOR ~ LA PALMA”.
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. Yoga is a spiritual path from India that serves the personal development of body, mind and soul.
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 we do here in the Canary Islands, is adapted to the western lifestyle and deals with 5 basic principles: Proper nutrition, physical exercises (asanas), conscious breathing, relaxation and meditation.
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 local, fresh fruit and vegetables are available all year round in the Canary Islands, the combination of yoga and Canaries is perfect 😉
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 focussing on the body are essential components of a yoga asana.
For those who are unable to perform the classic asanas, our yoga retreats in the Canary Islands also offer the therapeutic yoga, in which we have the opportunity to specifically address musculoskeletal complaints.
Those who have mastered the art of yoga relaxation have 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 th Canary Islands helps you to free yourself from your everyday worries and immerse yourself in the relaxed awareness of yoga.
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, Canaries, 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 detox and wellness yoga retreats on the Canary Islands.
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 Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha Yoga are just a few of them, but any path that is followed with dedication, concentration and perseverance can lead to the goal.
Therapeutic yoga is for people who are unable to practise classical hatha yoga for health reasons. When practising therapeutic yoga, we emphasise controlled breathing and conscious awareness of the body.
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 is determined in a short consultation here in the Canary Islands.
