Yoga Maspalomas Pranapure, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Spain
Yoga Maspalomas Canary Islands
You are invited to let go and remember who you really are during this retreat in Gran Canaria. The Canary Islands are often referred to as the "Hawaii of Europe".
Sunshine and summer weather all year round, according to a study by an American university the best climate in the world. Just a few kilometers from the beach and the big sand dune start mountains, valleys, caves, streams, and volcanoes. Nature pure! Exotic plants, trees, flowers, and wild herbs are constantly blooming in all colors. And not to forget the culture. The colonial capital Las Palmas is a paradise for those interested in history, architecture, theatre, art, and museums.
The aim of the retreat is to get in touch with your inner self again through yoga sessions, meditation, and relaxing walks on the beach and in the mountains. Return to the feeling of being centered and grounded.
The center is the place to back to when life's challenges push you off balance - a place where you can keep calm and happy. Away from your daily commitments and routine, you will find back to inner harmony. True happiness comes from the inside!

Program
The yoga holiday starts on Mondays at 8 p.m. with yoga and a breakfast where you will get to know each other a little bit closer. Curious about who you are going to spend the next days with and also a bit shy in the beginning, you will quickly realize that 'by chance' the right people met here.
From Monday to Friday, you will practice Vinyasa or Aerial Yoga in the morning and Yin Yoga in the evening. All classes include pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. Patanjali a la carte.
At the breakfast brunch after yoga, you will sit together on the rooftop terrace and you will recommend to you what things to do during your stay in Gran Canaria. Your yoga teachers live on the island all year round and they will give you all the information you need to make your stay unforgettable. Beach, massages, hiking, or maybe do nothing at all, here you will have time to focus on yourself and to do the things you want to do.
In the yoga group, you will find like-minded people if you feel like having company. As much privacy or company as you wish. In the evening you will come together for another more calming session of yoga and meditation. Afterward, the group prepares for dinner.

As with everything that excites me, I devoted myself 100% to my passion and on some days I attended three courses at once. Afterwards I went home, where I consolidated what I had learned. Soon I felt positive changes, both physically and in my mind, and knew that yoga would become my lifestyle. I soon realized that I wanted to make the positive aspects of yoga accessible to others. I traveled to India to complete my training as a yoga teacher for Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. I enjoy giving my students a sense of connection back into more happiness and health.
Retreat location
This retreat will take place at a yoga studio in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria in Spain. This is also called the "Island of the fortunes" or the Hawai island from Europe. Geographically, it is near to Africa, and ethnologically it is a South American-influenced region administrated by Madrid.
The subtropical destination of Maspalomas includes the natural reserve of the dunes, which constitutes an important landmark of Gran Canaria.
