Christmas Retreat

Luxury Christmas yoga & meditation retreat

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.

I shall also be hosting a New Year retreat at this venue – 28th December – 2nd January 2025.

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 ). 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.

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.

Rental cars recommendations – I highly recommend hiring a car during your stay as the retreat is in a peaceful, rural setting. ‘Plus Car’ is a local company the venue have been using for many years who are reliable and economical. They offer free airport pick up and drop off.

Services & Excursions

There will be plenty of time in between the yoga sessions to venture out and explore the Island. Therefore, it is advisable to rent a car. Many of Lanzarote’s attractions are of volcanic rock. Some of the wonderful places to visit which shows the creative force of past volcanic eruptions are the fire mountains in the National Park of Timanfaya. The lava caves, Cuevas de los Verdes, the green lake in El Golfo. Information on Lanzarote:

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!

Fantastic experience on the Christmas retreat in the Canary Islands with Ladan! A real intuitive, I found the instruction clear and helpful and the atmosphere containing and healing. It has planted seeds of transformation and guidance within me, very grateful for the experience. Would highly recommend! Looking forward to the next retreat with Ladan.
