Sky yoga classes are open-level classes. We invite everyone, regardless of ability and level, to participate in an invigorating flow of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga.

Daily Pilates Classes

What would a pain-free life feel like? Pilates focuses on the strengthening and lengthening of the physical and mental core, as well as the realignment of the spine.

Come feel endless energy as we experience fun excursions to different parts of Gran Canaria. From the beautiful southern beaches of Maspalomas, cultural walks through Agüimes, to gorgeous lush green hikes through the interior of the island, or just chill out in the many relaxing spots around the villa.
