The retreat runs for eight days from a base in Lajares. Yoga is scheduled daily, and the week also includes sound healing, breathwork sessions, and an ice bath and sauna. Time by the sea is part of the programme rather than an afterthought.

What separates this from a generic beach yoga week is the setting and the people running it. The operator's home base is Corralejo, in the north of the island, and their regular work is guiding mountain bike and hiking journeys across Fuerteventura — the volcanic tracks, the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park and the beaches of the south. That means the week can draw on the island's landscapes directly: the Calderón Hondo crater, the dunes, the north shore around El Cotillo.

Fuerteventura itself is dry, windy and volcanic. Expect lava fields, pale sand and big skies rather than green jungle. The wind is a constant on the island and the operator's own guides write about how to handle it — useful to know if you plan to add surfing or cycling around the yoga schedule.

Lajares is a low-key town with a small expat and surfer community, a handful of cafés and bakeries, and easy access to both the north coast surf breaks and the dunes. It is quieter than Corralejo, which suits a week that alternates practice with rest.

Because the operator also runs day tours and rents bikes from their Corralejo shop, there is scope to add a guided ride, a volcano walk or a boat trip to Isla de Lobos before or after the retreat. Those are separate from the yoga week and priced separately.
