THE LOCATION
La Gomera is a magical place with great energy. It is a well-hidden little paradise on in the Canary island with unspoiled nature and a wide variety of landscapes. The island has a lot to offer between the sea, mountains, rainforest, banana plantations, terraces, secret beaches, caves and charming fishing villages along the coast. The atmosphere on the island is laid back and welcoming, which makes it really easy to enjoy life with simplicity. Being present and taking the time to deepen your yoga practice will make your visit on the island a truly rich and fulfilling experience.
The venue of the retreat is located right by the sea in a secluded bay, ten minutes walk from the quiet fishing village of Vueletas.
ACCOMODAITION
We will stay at La Finca Argayall. It is the perfect place to find your sanctuary and let yourself be inspired by nature to restore your inner balance.
The venue has its own organic farm that provides many of the ingredients for the delicious, organic, vegetarian meals. La Finca is right by the sea, surrounded by tropical gardens, has its own natural spring, two swimming pools and offers direct access to the beach.
During the day you can relax by the pool, laze or nap in one of the many wonderful places in the gardens or go for swim in the warm sea.
There will be tree vegetarian buffet-style meals a day. Milk products, eggs and wheat are included, however special diets can be accommodated on request. During the day, hot beverages and fresh fruits are available. Other drinks are available on purchase in the café and bar as well.
There is a wide range of accommodation within the gardens, surrounded by flowers, the sounds of the birds and with nature all around.

At night you’ll love falling asleep listening to the waves crashing on the beach.
