5 Days, Multiple Departures
Did you know there's a tropical island with beaches and palm trees where you can relax and escape the daily grind, and get away from the cold and damp any month of the year without leaving Europe?
It's called Gran Canaria, and it's where you'll find an "active retreat" that combines paddleboarding and yoga.
A chance to feel like it's summer again without having to wait for it, where you can fully recharge your batteries and find physical and mental balance through daily sessions of paddleboarding, SUP Yoga, and beach yoga.
This retreat has been thought and created to offer you a quality YOU time, where you finally put yourself first on the to do and priorities list.
Where you stop for a while from all your must does and just listen to yourself, to your body, the nature's sounds feeling the UNION that yoga represents
You will definitely be doing a full body workout without even noticing due to the peace and happiness that you will be feeling.
Finding your balance on a board will keep you in the present moment and you won't have any time to think or overthink in anything else.
Doing this retreat in small groups, will allow us to get to know each other, to create best relationships and even become friends, as it usually happens.
However, remember that even sharing an apartment will allow you to have your own space and time with the flexibility of deciding what to do.

Program
Be aware that we will be able to check in on Monday at around 2:30 PM and that we will start with our first experience that afternoon, so do all your best to get on time and don't miss it.
This retreat will include some of the experiences and it will be combined with free time for you to choose what to do or even, just relax and chill on the beach or at the pool.
However, I will always suggest optional and not included group plans to do on that time or even help you book other plans of your desire.
If you might be on the island before this day and you would like to do something else, don´t hesitate to contact me to help you plan it.

In case of bad weather an alternative plan will always be offered.

And there will be a supermarket in the same complex so you might also use it to cooK your own food or avoid expenses if it is your choice.

I am the one who is creating for you the type of experiences that I like to have when I travel, with someone local, with whom I can learn something new and remember it with gratitude when I return home.
Connection experiences with you and nature through SUP, co-creating moments full of good energy and sharing my passion for sports in the sea.
For this reason, you will all be well received here, those of you who travel in a group and those who do not, because even if it is just you and me, we will go out to the sea to enjoy it and the conditions that the island of Gran Canaria offers us.
And now that you know me better, if you also want to live this experience with me, click the button and choose yours. I will be waiting!
The group will be of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 people.
The average age range goes from 25 to 60+
Absolutely! Many of the guests come to the events and retreats solo, so you'll fit right in! My goal is to connect you with other like-minded individuals and make new friends along the way. We're super friendly, so just come as you are. I´m excited to meet you!
No, you don´t need any previous experience to take part as this is a multi level retreat. Everyone will learn and improve their SUP skills.
If, by chance, the weather doesn't cooperate for paddling, don't fret! I´ll have backup plans ready to roll - after all, Mother Nature does her own thing, but we'll keep our fingers crossed for sunshine!
Rest assured, there'll be plenty of fun activities lined up for you, even if the weather doesn't play ball. Please note that we can't offer refunds for changes due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control.
