6 Night Yoga and Wellness Retreat – Restoring Balance

2021 Venue: Finca Marisa, Tinajo

Our 2021 week-long yoga and health retreat will be held at a family-run resort called Finca Marisa in the quiet village of Tinajo, Lanzarote.  The owners have built Finca Marisa around values close to the heart of Restoring Balance: living an ‘aware’ life that is enjoyable and free from excess stress.

Yoga And Health Retreat – Rest, Revitalise and Renew

Our next retreat is in Lanzarote April 4th – 10th, 2021.  We will provide everything you need to feel rested, revitalised and renewed. With the guidance of world-class experts in bodywork, wellbeing and yoga you will have time to reflect as well as connect with like-minded people, away from normal distractions and routines!

This retreat is suitable for a broad range of ages and physical abilities. Yoga practices will be adapted for all levels – complete beginners are welcome! 

We’ll even reveal to you the latest techniques and science of how to control your own physiological state – what were once seen as mind/body woo-woo ideas are now understood as robust ways to improving your performance and enjoyment of life.

Two meals per day are included.  These are prepared freshly with the best possible ingredients available on the island. We invite you to follow intermittent fasting principles during your stay: eating only between 10.30am and 7pm. This approach should help you feel refreshed by the end of the week – more energetic and able to think clearer.

Location: Lanzarote

This retreat is being held on one of the most stunning Canary Isles, Lanzarote.  Often referred to as the ‘Islands of Eternal Spring’ because temperatures rarely drop below 16ºC in the Winter or or 25ºC in the Summer.   

The island’s terrain is a real treat for the eyes – rugged and colourful.  You will have the chance to experience the extremes of steep volcanoes,  jagged coastline, clear seas and fresh sea breeze.
