Private Detox and Yoga Retreat in La Palma’s Flower Oasis

The retreat is a combination of fasting, yoga, and optional naturopathic treatments, all tailored on arrival. The evening you check in, you sit down with Yamuna and Olay to talk about your health history, your goals, and what you want from the week. From that conversation they shape the yoga sessions, the detox plan, and which treatments might help—whether that is colonic irrigation to clear the intestines, bioresonance to check for heavy metals and allergens, or a simple massage.

Yoga happens five days a week, one-to-one, on an open meadow with a view over the garden and the sea in the distance. The asanas are adjusted to your level, and if you want to include pranayama or mantra singing, that is an option. The fasting menu is gentle: no starvation, just mono-meals—as much mango as you like at one sitting, but not mixed with other fruit—plus fresh juices and a liter of detox tea daily. On the sixth day, avocado is added to help break the fast.

The location is a big part of the experience. The oasis sits in Tijarafe, on the west side of La Palma, in a valley that feels completely private. The island itself is known for its green laurel forests, volcanic ridges, and dramatic coastline, and there are good hiking trails and wild beaches within easy reach. Because you are the only guest, there is no social pressure—you can be as solitary or as conversational as you like.

Yamuna and Olay are the heart of the place. Yamuna trained as a naturopath and Reiki master, then got her yoga certificate at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, India. Olay traveled the world for years before settling on La Palma to co-found Vidyamor in 2006. Together they have run fasting and detox retreats for nearly two decades, and the reviews consistently mention their warmth, professionalism, and ability to make guests feel cared for.
