“Yoga on & beyond the mat” is a luxury yoga retreat with new depths. We are here to teach you the breadth that yoga has to offer and pairing it with optional kitesurfing for all levels

Yoga is so much more than stretching or gymnastics - Yoga is a way of life. Next to the postural practice breathing techniques, meditation, philosophy and mantras expand the yoga practice beyond the mat. If practiced regularly and with continuous learning yoga can change your body, your Being and your life.

Spend 6 days (7 nights) in a luxurious boutique hotel right on the beach in stunning Fuerteventura, with a dense program of daily 90min bhakti prema vinyasa classes and meditation, daily breathwork (rebirthing) and evening Yin yoga sessions.

On top of the daily yoga classes you can join three optional yoga and breathwork workshops throughout the week and be part of a kirtan - the chanting of mantras with each other, to practice some real bhakti yoga.

If you always wanted to learn to kitesurf, here is the perfect opportunity: spend afternoons taking classes or freeriding or opt out from watersports and explore the region.

Both the vinyasa and yin yoga sessions throughout the retreat are an eclectic mixture of somatic experiences, breath-led movement meditation and functional flows. The morning sadhanas include everything that belongs: meditation, mantras, sweat and breath work.

The classes unite traditional practices including rituals, devotion to the yoga deities and mantra chanting (kirtan) with modern postural yoga and cultivates a functional approach to strength, body control and flexibility.

The Yoga

Conscious energy breathing (CEB) - Rebirthing Breath- work is a simple, yet powerful breathing technique, clearing old and residual traumas stored in the body and replacing them with a sense of renewal and rebirth.

Conscious and unconscious negative patterns and beliefs that prevent you from living your personal life are removed. You gain insight into the relationship you have with your body, with your Self and loved ones. Through conscious breathing we reduce stress, create feelings of openness, love, peace, gratitude, clarity, communication, and connection.
