Christmas Yoga Retreat

Exclusive Christmas yoga holiday in the sunny Canary Islands

22nd December - 27th December 2023.
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 sky’s. In December, you’ll get average highs of 22°C during the hottest part of the day.

Venue

This retreat is an inspiring and tranquil haven in the unspoilt countryside of La Geria Natural Park. Surrounded by vineyards and mountains which run into sandy beaches, makes it the perfect place to leave behind the Christmas rush, switch off, unwind and recharge your body & mind. Eco-conscious and heart-centred, this venue is perfect for workshops, groups, trainings and Residential Retreats. Designed as a place for relaxation and regeneration, the Villa, the apartments and the gardens are an oasis of light, tranquillity and healing.

Yoga & Meditation

This retreat will be very special as I am only inviting a small group so all my students receive personal attention (maximum 8 people). My retreats attract every level of practitioner. I always have a mixture of people attending. I can cater for beginners to advanced. The style of yoga varies too as I’ve trained in quite a few disciplines, such as sivananda ( hatha style ) and ashtanga. I really work with the feel of the group and meet the needs and requirements of my class participants in that moment, adapting with modifications or more challenging versions of the postures for those who want the option.

My retreat welcomes all levels of practitioners!

''In contrast to the rest of the group I was an absolute beginner who suffers from arthritis. Ladan helped me to adapt my practice so that I worked within my limits and yet made huge progress over the week. The fellowship within the group, facilitated by Ladan, contributed to an intense and happy weekend of friendship and well-being. Ladan guides you, not only physically, but also holistically, to be the best version of yourself you can be. It was an awesome week in the true sense of the word'' ‘Kathy Nourse’

‘'Thank you again for a very special retreat. Ladan is a wonderful yoga teacher and retreat host. Her approach is always thoughtful and supportive. She is extremely knowledgable about the discipline of yoga and embodies it’s teachings. She shares her knowledge and experience and enables all participants to move forwards in their practice, whatever level they are at. She combines the yoga practice with meditation, breathing techniques and other yoga practices, providing a challenging physical and mental practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience of her Easter and Christmas retreats and would highly recommend her. I feel extremely grateful to have gained this opportunity to enjoy a retreat with her’’
