5-Day Summer Solstice Yoga and Hiking Wellness Retreat on Galicia's Coast

The retreat unfolds over five days in the Galician countryside, where green hills meet the Atlantic. Days are long in June, and the landscape feels open and expansive. The schedule is flexible, but a typical full day includes two yoga classes: one Hatha and one aerial. Half days have one Hatha class, and mornings often include a guided meditation or a technique from a varied toolbox. Everything is optional, and the weather shapes the plan.

Aerial yoga classes are a signature here. You'll work in silk hammocks to build strength, confidence, and body awareness, something you won't find at every rural retreat. Hatha sessions are personalized to individual needs, whether you want to improve flexibility, recover from an injury, or simply make a positive lifestyle change. Dani studied yoga in India and aerial yoga in the UK, and her most recent training was in Goa under Yog Namito, a student of Swami Satyananda and BKS Iyengar.

The rural setting means slow mornings and easy access to nature. Guided walks take you to Abrela Beach and the cliffs of Punta do Fuciño do Porco. You might cycle or walk to nearby beaches along quiet country roads. In the evening, the group gathers for simple rituals tied to the solstice. On June 23rd, you'll join the San Juan celebrations in Viveiro or O Vicedo, where bonfires mark the midsummer tradition.

Staying in the host's restored home is central to the experience. Rather than hotel anonymity, you're welcomed into a lived-in house shared with your instructor. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, and hosting is part of the retreat itself. With no more than six guests, it feels personal and connected from the start. The price includes accommodation, all meals, daily yoga and meditation, and guided excursions.
