Get into flow with a conscious start to the day and exercise in nature. Expect a week full of yoga, meditation, movement sessions and time for surfing. In addition, there are excursions included to get to know the country and its people!​
Look forward to an energising week for body and mind and return to your everyday life with new inspiration and clear goals and intentions for the new year to come.

Here, you will find peace, rejuvenation, and fresh inspiration for the new year!

 

The Villa

In our chic Balinese-style villa there is one thing above all: plenty of space and opportunities to relax. In the garden you will find a dining area, a pavilion with couches and various sitting areas. In addition, the yoga shala, the large pool and sun loungers.

Inside the house, the highlight is the spacious living and dining area with a large couch, dining table and bar. There is also a spacious quadruple room, two twin rooms and two double rooms and four bathrooms. Those arriving with their own car will find plenty of parking in front of the house.

The Bali Villa is located in the quiet village of Lajares. A 10 minute walk will take you to nice cafes, surf stores, boutiques, bars, restaurants, live music and the market.

 

Culinary Highlight

Our private chef will treat us to lovingly prepared, high-quality vegan and vegetarian meals each day – including a generous brunch and, on selected evenings, a fine dinner served at the villa.
On the other evenings, you’ll have the chance to explore the local Spanish cuisine, either with the group or on your own. The villa is centrally located, with a wide variety of tasty and affordable restaurants within walking distance.
Water, tea, coffee, and light snacks will be available at the villa throughout the day.

 

Set Your Goals and Intentions!

New Year’s resolutions are often ridiculed. But what are we going to accomplish without goals? We all strive for a fulfilled life – and our wishes, visions, and goals are the inner drive that guide us. They give us direction and meaning.

Goals don’t have to be big. Maybe your goal is simply to live with more ease and contentment. When we set a clear intention, we can manifest what we truly desire. And the beautiful thing is: we achieve it – step by step.

This theme will accompany us throughout the week – in yoga classes, meditations, hikes, and in a coaching workshop. Together, we will explore our true wishes and visions, and write down our individual goals for the new year. Anke, a certified ThetaHealing® practitioner, will guide you with the ThetaHealing® meditation technique to support manifestation.

 

Yoga

The thematically coordinated yoga and meditation sessions will give you new food for thought, stimulate your creativity and intuition as well as life force. The varied sessions are suitable for all levels and no previous experience is necessary.
Yoga style: Hatha Flow, Hatha, Yin Yoga.
Sessions run for about 75–90 minutes.

 

Movement

Our Movement Sessions are based on Movement Culture and functional training.

Movement Culture aims to fully utilize the huge movement potential of the human body. It is not about perfection, but about giving the body what it needs. In the sessions in the shala, at the pool or at the beach we will get to know different forms of movement and training approaches and practice them playfully. We will mainly use our own body weight.

You can look forward to different approaches from Animal Flow, Handstand, HIT, Functional Training, Coordination, Flexibility and Strength. We don't want to go to our limit, but that doesn't mean we won't sweat. All "fitness levels" are welcome. It's all about fun, well-being and a group feel. There is no competition. That is very important to us. After the workouts you will feel energized, satisfied and invigorated. You will learn new ways of moving and gain a lot of inspiration for your own exercise program!

 

Surfing

The Canary Islands are a true paradise for all surfers and those who want to become one! It is a real Mecca for outdoor and water sports fans. What makes surfing so special is the freedom and the flow experience. The feeling of oneness with nature, the inescapable feeling to be here and now and of course, adrenaline and fun. What connects Daniel and me, besides our friendship, is our great enthusiasm for surfing! We are looking forward to sharing one or the other wave with you, besides yoga and movement sessions.

You will have the opportunity to take surf lessons with experienced coaches. Surf lessons can only be booked on site and through an external surf school. If you already have surfing experience, you can also explore the surf spots in the area on your own or in a group. You can rent equipment at the surf schools.

 

Location

Due to its convenient location, you can reach the north, east and west sides of the island within 15 minutes by car. You’ll have the choice between different beaches, sunrise or sunset, dunes or cliffs. On one side the quiet surfer village El Cotillo with its wide beaches, cliffs and sunsets and on the other side lively Corralejo with its famous dunes, its clubs and bars and a lot of shopping.

Retreat-Partner: Anke & Daniel

Anke – Yoga, Meditation, Movement | Organizer & Founder

Ever since my first encounter with Buddhism, meditation, and yoga in Sri Lanka back in 2008, their magic and energy have never left me. My life is just as much in motion as my practice – most of all outdoors in nature, on the yoga mat, or on a surfboard. Through my retreats worldwide, I invite you into my world and love sharing this path with you!

Fuerteventura is a very special place for me: the raw, vast volcanic landscape offers a soothing space of emptiness that instantly creates clarity and room in the mind. At the start of the new year, this openness invites you to consciously reconnect with your own wishes and visions. Combined with warm sunshine, the ocean, and a pleasant climate right in the middle of our European winter, it creates the perfect setting to pause, recharge, and step powerfully into the new year!

Look forward to a sunny getaway with the perfect balance of depth, lightness, precious me-time, and nourishing community!

Voices from former participants

“I took part in Anke & Daniel's Yoga & Movement Flow Retreat on Fuerteventura in January 2024. The accommodation in Lajares was extremely sensational (even with a pool), great group energy, mega soul food, nice mindful interaction, and loving introduction to all the exercises - even if it was challenging at times ;) Anke & Daniel get along really well, that's what that their good vibes were transferred to the group. I really liked their closeness and accessibility, almost like “two of us”, which is not always the case when leading retreats. There was also a lot of free time and so we got to know each other well. There could have been some space for deeper exchange in the group settings in order to strengthen the connection and, for example, to link the exercises to it or to anchor something - but it was totally okay as it was. Everything could, nothing had to. It was a nice break - all thumbs up!!!”
