Women's 1:1 Fitness and Hiking Reset on La Palma

The retreat is built around one guest at a time, so the schedule bends to you. A typical day starts with breakfast, then a hiking trip in nature, followed by a personal training session and lunch. In the evening you meet again for a long stretching and mobility session outdoors. Between sessions you go through the Birth of the Goddess course with Joa, who answers questions as they come up rather than leaving you to work through the material alone.

Joa is a professional combat sports athlete with World Championship gold and silver medals and a Spanish gold medal, and has worked as a personal trainer for almost ten years. She applies the same training principles she used in competition to weight loss and conditioning work. Guests describe her as a tough coach during sessions and easy company outside them.

The accommodation is a private Canarian apartment in Santa Cruz de La Palma, with a private room, en suite bathroom and wifi. It sits a four-minute walk from the ocean and about ten minutes from the mountains, so both the sea and the trails are within reach on foot. The building has a kitchen, terrace, laundry and bicycle rental.

La Palma is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the whole island is protected. Expect palm trees, laurel forest and volcanic soil that grows bananas, avocados, mangoes, oranges and passion fruit. The island is quiet and low on mass tourism, with natural pools, national park views and some of the clearest night skies in the world for stargazing.

Optional extras include an extra night before or after the retreat, a late start, and additional treatments. The retreat can also be combined with a weight loss programme if you want to push harder on body composition alongside the reset. Airport transfers are included, and the drive from La Palma airport to Santa Cruz de La Palma takes about 15 minutes.
