6 day Luxury New Year Yoga & Meditation Retreat - Canary Islands

Make your New Year’s a special one. Welcome in the year to come with refreshment, an open mind and rejuvenation. You will have daily yoga and meditation sessions to set you up and recharge so you can step into 2025 with greater perspective and clarity.



Lanzarote, one of the Canary islands off the coast of West Africa administered by Spain, is known for its year-round warm weather, beaches and volcanic landscape. Timanfaya National Park’s rocky landscape was created by volcanic eruptions in the 1730s. Cueva de los Verdes has caverns formed by an underground river of lava. East-coast resort Puerto del Carmen is home to whitewashed villas, beaches and dive centers




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 hatha and ashtanga. My teachings are more like a yoga fusion.


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.
Our chef is also a cooking teacher and runs a school focused on healthy eating and living, where she helps people achieve well-being through food.
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.
This is the perfect opportunity to make friends and meet like-minded people if you are a solo traveller.

Customer reviews

It was a wonderful experience! I am pleased to say that Ladan's yoga sessions during the retreat were exactly what I needed, and I now view yoga as an essential part of my life - something I need to do to help keep me balanced and secure in myself. I had attended yoga classes for most of 2018 leading up to the retreat, which was good in and of itself, but it also meant that I was able to get more from Ladan's classes than if I had been an absolute beginner. However, I learnt more from her in the space of a week than I had learnt over the whole year! My understanding of my body has improved and deepened hugely, and, for me, the mind-body links and meditative practices that she is so clear about, make absolute sense. I enjoyed and found useful the breath-work, and I am very grateful to her for correcting me in some of the postures. All in all the experience has been quite a profound one for me, and is definitely influencing how I live and work - in very positive ways! The retreat house was lovely - especially the peaceful location away from all the crowds - and the food was absolutely delicious. What a treat over the New Year’s holiday.

The people I met were great. The location was very nice. Ladan, the yoga instructor, was excellent. I felt pushed but it was within my capabilities as a novice to yoga. This was my first yoga retreat and it really was an amazing experience. I am looking forward to going on my next one.
