Christmas Yoga Week in Lanzarote: Morning Flow, Evening Yin and a Heated Pool

Mornings start with a guided yoga class suitable for complete beginners through to advanced practitioners, so you are not sorted into a level or made to feel you have signed up for the wrong thing. After class comes brunch, prepared by one of Lanzarote's chefs, and it is a proper spread rather than a bowl of fruit — this is the meal the day is built around. The afternoon is unscheduled. You can take a massage, book a one-on-one coaching session, walk the gardens, play tennis, or use the heated pool.

Evenings are slower. The programme moves through yin yoga, yoga nidra, breathwork and guided meditation across the week, with a sound healing session included at some point during the stay. Nothing is compulsory, so if you would rather skip a session and read, that is a normal way to spend the week here.

The villa sits on a 6,000 m² plot with panoramic sunrise and sunset views, ensuite bedrooms, a tennis court and gardens. Room options are confirmed per booking, and you can ask about private rooms, shared spaces or upgrades. The exact facilitator team is confirmed before your stay, so the person leading your week is named closer to the time.

What separates this from a generic winter sun yoga week is the food and the setting. The brunch is cooked by a chef rather than provided as a buffet, the evening meals are vegetarian, and the property has enough space and facilities — pool, court, gardens — that a rest day does not mean sitting in a room. Lanzarote itself is volcanic and quiet in December, which suits people who want warm weather without a resort crowd.

Practicalities are straightforward. Flights and transfers are not included, and neither are treatments or massages. Free parking is available if you hire a car, which is the easiest way to see the island in the afternoons. Cancellation terms are set by the retreat leader and confirmed with you before you pay anything, and no payment is taken upfront when you send a booking request.
