7 Day Luxury Christmas yoga & meditation retreat - Canary Islands

Luxury Christmas yoga & meditation retreat

21st December - 27th December 2024

Escape for some winter sun and join me on this beautiful Island in the Canaries and take in all the natural beauty, whilst doing a daily practice of yoga & meditation.
Lanzarote is the easternmost island of the Spanish archipelago. It's around 125 km off the coast of Africa, meaning the weather is glorious most of the year, where the sun shines with clear blue skies. In December, you’ll get average highs of 22°C during the hottest part of the day.

Venue
The Villa is a premier wellness retreat destination offering an unparalleled experience in relaxation, and holistic health.

Located in the serene and picturesque environment of Lanzarote, the villa boasts a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a dedicated experience room with stunning sunrise and sunset views.
Our mission is to provide a tranquil and comfortable environment that promotes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being for all our retreat participants.

Yoga & Meditation
My retreats attract every level of practitioner. I always have a mixture of people attending. I can cater for beginners to advanced students. The style of yoga varies too as I’ve trained in quite a few disciplines, such as sivananda ( hatha style ) and astangha.

My work as an intuitive guides me to feel into the group and I trust everyones needs shall be met in the sessions. I meet the requirements of my students by constantly making adjustments to each and every student who shall receive personal attention. I can make adaptations for the group or individual modifications. On the other hand I can offer more challenging versions of the postures for those who want the option.

My retreat welcomes all levels of practitioners and I look forward to working with you on the mat.
Each morning, you’ll start the day with a yoga class followed by a healthy, vegetarian brunch using locally, sourced food, prepared by one of the Islands top chefs.
All dietary requirements can be catered for ( vegan, lactose, gluten free ).
The evening sessions will be varied such as yin yoga, yoga nidra, breath-work, guided meditation followed by a delicious dinner.

There will be plenty of time between the morning and evening sessions to explore the wonders of this Island and learn about the history. Alternatively you can stay at the Villa and take a relaxing massage or read a book by the swimming pool.

I am also offering 1-1 yoga & coaching sessions.
Christmas retreats often attract solo travellers. This is the perfect opportunity to make friends and meet like-minded people.

''I participated in Ladan's retreat in December 2023 and thought it was brilliant. She is a real intuitive teacher and crafts her classes to fit the group while also providing excellent explanations of the poses and flows. We got a great diversity of various yoga styles, guided meditations, and even a bit of Pilates thrown in. I'd definitely go on another of Ladan's retreats; looking forward to the next time I get to practice with her!''
