Tenerife Retreat
Tenerife Retreat
Reconnect with Yourself in Magical Tenerife
13–20 September 2025
A week of yoga, nature, nourishment & transformation
If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or lost in the noise of everyday life —It’s time to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
Spend a week in the green mountains of Tenerife, surrounded by nature, silence, and the ocean breeze. Let go of the rush. Come back to what really matters.
You don’t need to do more. You need space to simply be.
You’re standing in a quiet garden in the mountains of Tenerife. The warm air carries the gentle scent of herbs, fruit trees, flowers, and a hint of ocean breeze. As you breathe it in, your body begins to relax. Palm leaves rustle softly above; birds sing in the distance.
The endless ocean opens before you, while the volcanic landscape behind you offers quiet strength and support. It’s peaceful, grounding, and open. With every breath, you feel more calm, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
Stepping onto your mat — in the garden, under the open sky, or in the peaceful shelter of the shala — for the first time in a long while, you feel fully present.
The noise begins to fade. Your breath deepens. Around you, a supportive community is forming — diverse, grounded, and real.
Through yoga, meditation, shared meals, simple rituals, and honest rest, you begin to reconnect to your breath, your body, and your deeper rhythm. This is more than a holiday. It’s a week to slow down, reset, and come home to yourself.
Here, you begin to reconnect deeply—with yourself, with others, and with the rhythm of nature.
Why Say Yes?
Over the course of 8 immersive days, you’ll embark on a transformative journey through the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — exploring deeper layers of your body, mind, and spirit with each passing day.
Through yoga, meditation, intentional rituals, and reflective journaling, you’ll reconnect with your energy centres, moving through the chakras as you clear what no longer serves and awaken your natural vitality and clarity.
Each day’s experience builds upon the last, inviting you to move progressively deeper into presence, balance, and self-understanding.
Along the way, you’ll share this journey with a supportive community — forging genuine connections, friendships, and a sense of
belonging that extends beyond the retreat.
Through this retreat, you’ll become grounded, refreshed, and more aligned with your true self — ready to return to daily life with renewed calm and purpose. — ready to bring this renewed energy into your daily life with confidence and ease.
This is your time to fully nourish yourself, reconnect with your true nature, and awaken the vibrant life within.
By the end of this retreat, you’ll feel renewed, grounded, and confident to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and intention.
Tenerife, Canary Islands
Tenerife: the “Island of Eternal Spring”
Known for its volcanic landscapes, lush mountain villages, golden beaches, and year-round sunshine, Tenerife offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and calm.
With its rich biodiversity, starry skies, and the soothing rhythm of the ocean, it’s a sanctuary for the body, mind, and soul — a place to reconnect, recharge, and breathe deeply.
It’s your playground for peace, presence, and transformation.
Our Venue:Mountain Villa
Set high on the southern slopes of Tenerife, this villa offers a magical sense of peace and space. From its terrace, the Atlantic stretches out in front while wild mountains and tall pines rise behind. Tucked away from the island’s busy resorts, it’s still close to unspoiled beaches and some of Tenerife’s most beautiful hiking paths. Here you’re surrounded by fresh mountain air, wide-open skies, and the soothing rhythm of nature.
The House
This old Canarian farmhouse, carefully brought back to life, carries the charm of history in every detail. Inside, wide rooms with their own bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, while the heart of the house is an open kitchen that flows into a shared dining area. The property feels alive with colour and scent — citrus and figs, fresh herbs, and blossoms that turn the garden into a little oasis.
The Outdoor Space
The villa sits on a private finca with no close neighbours, surrounded by silence, fresh air, and spectacular nature. Sunsets are magical, stars fill the night sky, and the swimming pool is perfect for a refreshing dip or relaxing under the southern sun.
Terraces face east, south, and west — whether you rise early, enjoy the warmth of midday, or love watching the golden light fade, there’s always a place to sit, sip tea, and take it all in.
Sustainability & Simplicity
The finca is 100% solar-powered and uses an ecological sewage system.
Mountain spring water nourishes the vegetable garden and fruit trees.
We live waste-free, recycle mindfully, and embrace slow living with deep respect for nature.
Surrounded by sky, sea, and earth — a peaceful haven far from the noise.
The Yoga Shala
Located inside the garden and surrounded by trees and nature, the yoga shala offers spectacular 360-degree views of the ocean, mountains, and
sky through its mostly glass walls. It’s a sacred space for yoga, meditation, workshops, or quiet reflection.
Whether practicing indoors or outside in the garden, the natural beauty supports every breath and movement. The shala is fully equipped with yoga mats, belts, blocks, pillows, blankets, and massage bolsters for your comfort and support.
After this week, you’ll feel how this sacred space deepens your practice and calms your mind.
Picture this:
Arriving at this peaceful mountainside retreat, you’re welcomed by sweeping ocean views, fragrant pine forests, and the stillness of wild nature. The warm breeze gently invites you to slow down and exhale.
Your home for the week is filled with natural light, earthy textures, and thoughtful details. You might step onto the terrace with your journal, rest beneath the trees with herbal tea, or cool off in the swimming pool as you take in the view.
Daily yoga, meditation, and gentle movement invite you back into balance. Practicing in the glass shala or out in the garden, the beauty around you supports each breath and moment of stillness.
Life moves slower here. You’ll ease into a natural rhythm of sunrise, nourishing meals, rest, connection, and soft presence — returning to yourself, day by day.

Nutritious Food that Delights
At our retreat, we specialize in vibrant, healthy vegetarian and vegan cuisine with thoughtful options for all dietary needs, allergies, and food intolerances. Our meals are crafted with love using fresh, local produce from the island’s abundant farmers’ markets — a true celebration of Tenerife’s flavours. Many of the fruits and vegetables come directly from our own organic garden, grown with care and intention. We also support a nearby dairy that produces delicious goat cheeses and yogurts. All meals are prepared by our dedicated yogic chef, who brings deep knowledge of Ayurvedic nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine, with a focus on food as a path to healing, balance, and joy.
A Journey Through the Elements — A Journey Through You
This retreat is a holistic experience guided by the five elements of nature—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether—each connected with an energy center (chakra) in the body.
As the days unfold, we move step by step through the body’s energetic map, supported by yoga, breathwork, meditation, food, rest, and direct connection with nature. It’s a gentle progression— from grounding into the body to expanding into imagination, vision, and deep inner peace.
Earth — Root Chakra
We begin by grounding—arriving in our bodies and connecting to the land.
Gentle yoga, stillness, and nourishing meals create a safe space to slow down, feel supported, and settle into the present moment.
Water — Sacral Chakra
With roots in place, we soften into flow.
Fluid movement, mindful walks, and creativity invite ease, emotion, and sensual joy.
You’ll reconnect with what feels nourishing and alive within— including a trip to one of Tenerife’s most beautiful local beaches, where the ocean invites you to move, play, or simply surrender to the rhythm of the waves.
Fire — Solar Plexus Chakra
Here we ignite confidence and energy.
We’ll journey to the majestic volcanic landscapes of Mount Teide for a powerful walking meditation and energizing fire breath practice — awakening your inner strength in the presence of raw, elemental fire
Air — Heart & Throat Chakras
We move into the heart—opening to connection and expression.
Through breathwork, sharing, and spacious yoga, we invite compassion, clarity, and deeper bonds. Later, a heart movement meditation invites you to soften and listen inward.
A trip into the hills with a peaceful picnic and stunning viewpoints offers space to express yourself, expand your horizon, and reconnect with the vastness within.
Ether — Third Eye & Crown Chakras
We end in the subtle space of intuition, vision, and peace.
Meditation, starry skies, and intentional silence support integration and renewal.
From a quiet hilltop, under one of the darkest skies in Europe, we gaze into the vastness above. The stars feel closer here — infinite, luminous, magical. This sacred space invites stillness and wonder.
Evening rituals and guided meditations create a container for reflection, closure, and deep connection to your inner cosmos.
You return home more present, inspired, and aligned.
This journey is open to everyone—regardless of gender, age, or experience.
You don’t need to know about chakras or elements to benefit—just a willingness to explore, rest, move, and reconnect.
Let nature guide you. Let your energy rise. Let yourself renew.
Ahhh — tuning into the healing rhythms of Tenerife’s mountains and ocean feels like coming home.

Meet Your Retreat Leaders
Maya
I believe everyone deserves time to slow down, reconnect, and find balance—especially in a world that moves fast. I created this retreat with you in mind—whether you’re seeking clarity, calm, or simply a meaningful pause.
My path with yoga and mindfulness began early, with my first meditation mantra at eight. In 2015, I transitioned from my work in architecture to focus fully on yoga, mindfulness, and personal development—teaching classes and retreats
across Spain and Tenerife.
Since then, I’ve completed over 550 hours of Yoga Alliance training, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Yoga Nidra, Face Yoga, and advanced studies in India. I’ve created grounded, welcoming spaces for people to explore movement, breath, and self-awareness.
Meditation has long been a steady part of my life, and I’ve studied practices like Vipassana. I also hold a Pro-Mentoring Diploma from the School of Relax, which deepened my understanding of self-development and guiding others on their paths.
Meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama was a defining moment in my journey—one that strengthened my commitment to mindful living and service.
Yoganda is my way of giving back. Through this retreat, I’ll help you reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with what matters most. I’m here to support your journey with presence, care, and real-life experience—so you leave feeling grounded, inspired, and ready for what’s next.
Our retreat chef. Her deep love for nature, conscious living, and wholesome food shines through every meal.
She’ll prepare vibrant vegetarian or vegan dishes inspired by Ayurveda — using fresh, seasonal produce from local farmers and her own organic garden.
Thoughtfully cooked and beautifully served, her meals will support our journey with grounding breakfasts, energizing lunches, and calming dinners. Each bite is crafted to nourish body and
soul.
